Story Anon Hey, what's the ETA for the update ? You said in Discord that this was gonna be released in January.
- Sep 23, 2021

Another poster shared on Jan 5 than the dev has a lot of real life stuff going on and there's no ETA for any update. His other game will come first, so just chilling out and waiting is the best plan for everyone.What the hell are you saying ?
- First you don't even know that a page is not always 20 messages for everyone
- There is no information in any way regarding my question in the whole month, i.e. last 40 messages, except my own freaking messages. Ffs, I'm literally there every 5 messages in the "last page".
- January ends in 3 days, did your pea brain even realize how there's an issue in what you're thinking ?
- You obviously didn't even understand, or even read, my question.
How can you be that slow seriously ? For fuck's sake don't answer someone without even understanding what they're saying
Well thanks for that, I was asking cause in Story Anon's last post on Patreon on January 20 (i.e. two weeks after this message was posted) they didn't provided with any date.
However, from that message you're mentioning, there clearly is an ETA
> end of february
I take all ETA with a big grain of salt, and assume that they're all a best case scenario guess. With almost every game I follow on here, even devs who give specific dates usually post the public update later than that. So I just wait until its shared, and am happy that it is. There's no rush.
Yep of course, completely agree on this. But this is exactly why it is called an ETA = Estimated Time of Arrival
However, yeah in the AVN realm ETA have a margin of error like 10 times bigger than usual software projects ^^
Yeah, Anon is usually a workaholic, and still is-
But divorce, terminally ill family, and moving house got in the way as I understand it, plus the update was basically going to be two updates combined together.
So essentially he's been the embodiment of the "This is fine" dog meme since before New Years, only had the time/energy to get out his double update for Out Of Touch, his main project, and just didn't have the breathing room to "comfortably" get out the double update for Tropicali. (Which is a side project)
So he is still going back to being a workaholic, just with an extra month of breathing room.
Yeah, once I realized that the other game was his focus and this one was just a side thing, I decided to just totally put it on the backburner with expectations, and when it gets here it does.
Don't get me wrong, it is still definitely a priority from him, he got the bulk of his popularity from Tropicali, it's just that Out Of Touch is what he started first, is a larger project, and is where his most high paying donors are interested in.
If it's ever a concern I seriously doubt he'd ever cancel or stop development on the Tropicali games (more are planned) unless they naturally concluded already. I guess you could say that they have relatively equal importance just on a different scale.
The Tropicali series is planned to release over the next couple years.
The Out of Touch series on the other hand is planned to release over the next couple...decades.
The scale of the projects is the biggest difference as far as I can tell.
Wow, that's wild. Good luck to him. I love what he's started with Trop. Its very much a high end game.
