After revisiting the now six delay announcements we've gotten (so far) over the course of almost two months since the Level: 0 "mini-game" was officially announced back in August 14th, the issue with Koda that I'm noticing, minus his obvious procrastination, is that he just doesn't know how to properly delay his games and progress. Instead of making a definitive statement on the release date of the entire game, he simply needs to say "I hope to have the writing finished by the 17th of October and then I'll be able to move onto RPGMaker, coding, etc." While I think people are still going to be annoyed or will have already prepared their memes for the next inevitable delay, because it's been two months of just writing so far, it's at least less misleading and more professional which you think would be a reputation he would want as a developer and writer, although perhaps it's too late now. He needs to stop assuming that he can finish everything else that remains within two weeks when it's already taken more than that just to write dialogue. The RPGMaker part that still needs finishing is probably going to cause more delays as well, surely. It'd be a miracle to get this mini-game before Halloween Christmas with Koda's pattern of overestimating his ability. The dude needs to get a prescription for Adderall or something because he clearly cannot focus or concentrate.
Why Bo-Wei continues to partner himself with Koda after months (years?) of constant delays instead of simply just finding somebody much more productive and reliable, is beyond me. Koda's work ethic also affects Bo-Wei. There's people who are still paying a monthly subscription for their products so either they don't care and are just taking advantage of the situation together or somebody is preventing frequent updates that shouldn't take 2+ months for what is basically only 10 minutes of gameplay if we look at some of the more recent updates to ToT. Some lone developers are updating their games at a consistent rate, with more gameplay, while also receiving less funding.
