RPGM The Office Wife [v0.93] [J. S. Deacon]

[wildride69]

Development Update
Hope everyone's having a good weekend! I figured it's about time I update you all on the progress of the next release. I'm definitely close! I have several smaller scenes and then one fairly big scene left to do. The big scene is going to be a challenge because it involves a lot of characters and a new fairly intricate set. Because of that, it's hard to estimate a release date at this point, though I'm looking at the end of March as the likeliest scenario. If it goes well, I may add one or two other scenes that I was hoping to include but will push to the next release if I can't fit them in before the end of March. I really don't want to go past that because I know you all have been waiting a long time!
I'll release one or two more sneak peeks before the release as well. That's it for now. Back to work!
- J. S.

Percentage wise, where would you estimate the story is at?

1) You need 38+ enchantments, have done Dixon's Toy Training, and be in the Morale Ambassador outfit. To get the stethoscope, if the doctor's is not unlocked for you, you may need to wait for the next doctor event, so continue with the story.
2) You need to find the watch during the day, talk to David about job, do the payback scene with Simon, talk again with David (then Kabir), then after Kabir's interview, go straight home after work and talk to Jason

If you're still stuck DM me your save and I'll let you know what to do.

Even if the release date was March 31st (but from experience I would add a few more days) it would practically arrive 6 months after the previous one. This game went from an update every 3/4 months to an update every 6 months.
I don't know, maximum respect for the dev, but I think it's definitely exaggerated.
It's a shame, I was a supporter, but with this kind of frequency I really think I was right to unsubscribe.

 

[Point1979]

This was the game that got me into this whole genre. Its a real shame to watch if fade like this. I am not a supporter, i considered and was hesitant and decided to wait for the next release. I'm not going to wait 6 more months for the next... I have to replay the game to remember the story. I guess he's also an author, my guess is he focuses his attention on that.

Hi - I think you've helped uncover a new bug with triggering webcam 4. I've passed details onto JS Deacon, so it'll be fixed in the next RPGM release. I'm also unsure as to how you missed the new dog enchantment: it looks like it ought to have triggered.

Anyway, the attached save game should fix up both issues: working with Polly will now work as expected. I've also reset the mean new dog progression. Playing through from there will get you to the end of the current content.

While these points are somewhat valid- and of course, I'd love if there were updates every few months rather than 2-3 per year, I don't think you can criticise JS Deacon over the care or quality of each release.

With each update, the quality of the renders, the animations, the scenes and the scenarios, hell, even the camera moves are so much more detailed and complex than in earlier parts of the game. This is a whole lot of work. The last update in particular was fantastic: 18 new h-scenes, scene-setting for future events, updates for almost every character that didn't get one in the previous release, and 2 huge set pieces. Quality takes time.

Ubisofts....Skull and Bones has entered the Chat

Like 5 people will get that joke lol.

The Dev does an amazing job in the time they have I would rather have a few updates versus frequent tiny updates. I'm happy with his update schedule and even the best games like BADIK, take a ton of time for new content. You are 100% correct.

Actually i'm not criticising. I'm just claiming my right to be not enough satisfied by the quantity (not the quality) of content to renew my subscription to his Patreon. Just that.

Thx, I'll try one the w.e.

This is my thought exactly.
I am really amazed at the quality of all aspects of the game as it plays. While 6 months may be acceptable for you, i am going to move on.

By your own admission you never financially supported the game in the first place. What are you moving on from? You got a lot of enjoyment it costs you nothing.

You are not now nor have you ever supported and you will be amongst the first people back, asking for a Hero when the updates comes out because you are not just going to move on. Programming and creating games takes time, we may not like it but it is what it is.

You're correct, how much money should i spend? Would that change anything? Would that validate my opinion? In November when i discovered the game and this genre as a whole, should i have just started shelling out money?

Im glad i didnt. If i have to spend between $2 to $100 a month for the chance to spend a few hours a year playing a game, ill pass.

Will i be the first back? If he posts a finished game, hell yeah! but as of now (IF) that happens it wont be until 2026.

News flash, 95% of the VN's and games on this forum are not COMPLETED . I would suggest you search for the 5% of the games on here that are truly completed.

Let's say you being a supporter would make your opinion more valid than being a leech..... or would you disagree? I communicate with the Dev on Patreon and on discord because I love this game, I support it and I am happy with the progress. Is my opinion more valid than yours?

Assuming you were a dev, would you value the people supporting you monthly/yearly or are people complaining about update times getting the games for free just as valid?

Here's what you do, this entire board has 1000's of game go and play something else until the update is ready. Simple as that.

You're right, I'm going to search for the games that are completed. I don't support this dev, my opinion doesn't matter to him. I am going to go play something else.

That is what I have started doing as well. Its frustrating to follow games to have the dev abandon them or take way to long putting out updates. I even supported several financially and the dev took mine and others money and stopped working on the games never again unless I really like the game and or its completed.
