Obviously, this could be a transcription error of some sort, and I may be accused of picking nits.

That said: while this provides lots of good information on what to expect from the next update, "ETA" stands for estimated time of arrival - in this context, when we could expect to see the update. I see no reference to any time frame.

I believe the dev was aiming for every three to four months. In that case, id expect patrons to see something next month, I think. If, in context, they were letting previous statements stand and set expectations, I suppose that's all right.

However (as the person relaying the data makes clear), the dev has not yet really established a firm new release pattern. Allowing for a couple of weeks for testing, having the next top tier Patron release out in a month feels tight to me (as a developer myself, though not of this sort of project explicitly).

I'm very picky about the words I use. I'd personally recommend to the dev (if given the opportunity) that they avoid wording that indicates a release time frame until they believe they can definitely hit whatever date/time frame they give. This could be termed a "development progress update" rather than an "update ETA".

We have a statement that claims there are about 350 renders now, and the total number is 80% done. So another 80-90 to go. That's both a very small update, and a not very productive output for 3 months.

For the regular amateur developer trying to make a game for fun those are totally acceptable numbers. But for a developer who seems to claim this is his livelihood, wouldn't you expect more?

Also that’s 350+ with help from one of his bees.. so 3 months for like 430+ renders with help. When other devs who also release updates with double that or even more within that time frame

The game stops working for me when I get to the scene with demon rachel after she cuts your chest and you have three choices : the cut, the girl and the hunger. the UI goes away and it's just rachel grinding your dick in her thighs. the mouse goes away and I can't do anything. help

Haven't looked at this game since i think 2021 (some debacle around one of the 0.9.x versions made me finally drop it, but cant recall what it was). Has it gotten any better or is it still being dragged out to high hell?

 

[tmu500]

is there any sign for the end of this game?

Aww man, found this game a while ago and gave it a go, enjoyed it a lot, but now I played through it and from what this thread is telling me I accidentally got myself involved with yet another Ren'Py game that people complain is progressing super slowly and infrequently in order to milk it, as if being blue balled with no end in sight by one of the sort wasn't bad enough already.

Had I known this earlier I would have waited another 5-6 years before engaging with it, I really need to do more research before diving into these work in progress type deals, lesson learned, not yet sure if I wanna try to suppress my memories of this and return in a few years for a somewhat fresh experience, or try to keep up with it every once in a while.
