I send out a free post and the Justice League of Misinformation springs into action!
so Mr dots has been going at it for nearly as long, and his team is on its 4 project? 3 completed.
NLT media has completed also 3 top tier quality games complete with excellent animations, RPG stats and working on a 4th.
Know what they have in common? core focus. Planning.
this team lacks those things. no one sets the team down and goes over what needs to be done tracks whats done and when someone tries to introduce another thing slap it out of their hands and puts them back on track. The development is all over the place, like someone with ADHD at the wheel. with all these other projects the split of the main game into smaller games and no integration back into the main game, all i can see from the outside is just a sheer lack of discipline and most likely burnout from going a bridge too far with SU.
I agree with some of your statements. But I also don't think it's fair to compare a hand drawn art project, vs a Blender project. Once they make a model they can re-use that model over and over, just by movement of a camera, and posing. We have to literally re-draw the entire character. There is massive differences in actual work flow that will allow for more efficient work, and higher output.
I also don't know what "all these other projects" are. We have SU, and now doing Project Evolution.
patent and gave them a lot of good faith but at this point, they're just a cluster
Honestly I was patent and gave them a lot of good faith but at this point, they're just a cluster fuck with no idea how to stick to any sort of solid schedule or plan for more than maybe a year. Every few years they get distracted with some side project that GS swears WONT EFFECT SU'S UPDATES, with a posts that prove the fact that THEY ALREADY HAVE. And for what ANOTHER X-men Evo game.There are already 2 done by competent artists that are much farther along and deliver anything this project would (rouge_evo) and (Project_Null). They've really gone down hill in years, they used to have some hick ups yeah, but you could at least expect an update once every 2 months with some decent content, now here we are 4 months of empty promises and another distraction that will maybe get a few updates and then be abandoned, just expected to "be grateful that they do anything at all". Best part most of their updates are hidden behind their paywall, so you want to say anything you gotta pay um. Like seriously at this point it's paying 5 bucks a month to read posts saying "Here's why you're not getting the game you clearly payed to support and why that's a good thing" every few weeks....sigh It was fun while it lasted, and at least most of the girls that anyone actually cared about got more or less completed in the main game, even catwomen got some stuff in the Gotham thing. Pity such a good project was destroyed by piss poor planing and communication, they survived a DMCA only to kill all hype for the project themselves.
This was hard to read sorry, but there is so much misunderstanding, and misinformation in your post. If I may, you should go to our discord, and or patreon page and get your information from a credible source.
As well you don't have to pay anything to talk to me. We have free posts with comments enabled, free chat, discord, and here. As well if you want to read posts it's only $1.00 for the patreon exclusive ones.
I don't think the post will be removed it's a justified fear with all things considered, updates on SU becoming less frequent, chainging engines and things left unfinished. I have to give my own opinnion on how it could have been handled better with just a few lines.
1. SU changed engines to rempy expect quality drop but significant work on finishing the lose ends such as bordello and last device unlock.
2. New game announced it will apear on SU main title as advertisement, SU will still receive micro updates but will also advertise the new game on the main title to provide a good migration.
That's what I would done to keep these games active and maybe a definitive version later on SU removing previous mentions on the new game.
Instead it's two cakes like this:
1 Cake is missing the frosting and top layer but there lots of side cupcakes.
Number 2 cake is just the plate for now and the bottom layer is in the oven.
Note this is just my vague opinion and I really want the project to succed but because of the order of the announcements I feel uninterested in the prospects if the following year we will see more of the same.
Thanks Soul and I want to just touch on your two suggestions.
1. This is what is actually happening, we have had many internal discussions on cleaning up the technical debt, such as bordello, cells, etc.
2. Thanks for this!
I think it's pretty funny how Bend or break has been in dev hell for like 5+ years but the devs manage to shit out a last minute game in a couple months
There hasn't been more than one month of total work on BoB2 done. And we "shit out" another game by pausing all dev on SU.
