VN Ren'Py Waifu Academy [v0.12.0] [Irphaeus]

such a minor thing normally wouldnt be a problem for me in games, but it got mentioned so many times that it became almost immersion breaking to me: despite all of the possibilities to grope Elizabeth on the train in the early parts of the game, i never once did it, and yet for the rest of the game her dialogue acted like i did it multiple times. I get that she likes exhibitionism and that was supposed to kind of lead her into it, but still, i feel the author should've accomodated for the possibility of me not groping somebody in public, and added alternative dialogue options in future scenes.

The game is a linear visual novel, it gives you the illusion that you can change what happens in the story with all the choices presented but they don't do shit, you are forced to follow the story in one way anyway.
Even if this game isn't a "proper" visual novel I still enjoyed it because the plot is good, and like you said Elizabeth is an exhibitionist so I would have groped her anyway. Girls like her want to be corrupted so why not

Lol change of topic with the internet but and not quite sure what you mean by "56k internet"? Is that some type of internet company. Also he's mentioned he has shit internet and he's shown his upload speeds.. He's made it clear he wants to move eventually. Hell I would as well if my apartment had shit internet and AC.

Also patreon graph says he makes 3-10k a month. Now imagine it's on the lower end.

20 vips x 35 = 700
Based on discord ranks
Patron rank 107 x 15 = 1605
Funder 107 x 7 = 749
Supporter 370 x 3 = 1116
---------------------------
Note though this is before taxes.
Total; $4170
(He probably averages around 6-6.5k a month just from a guess.)

It's also a rough estimate based on whos online on the discord at the time of this posting
(only about a little under half is in discord or online but majority most likely fall under the supporter rank)
Also the Patreon thing bugs out so people might have a rank still after pausing/canceling their payment which can skew the data.


Here's the average cost monthly for rental housing, a decent chunk for monthly payments. (It may have raised since last year as well I have zero clue).
There's also other payments he probably has to pay a month.

By no means am I dick riding him right now, however the AC situation is reasonable considering what's going on with the weather over there right now.

He's does have issues with his work ethic, I'll agree with you on that at least lol. Even without the AC issues though we probably still wouldn't see the update by the end of the month.

Good analysis.
For rental price it's difficult to use since it's highly dependant on where he lives. If it's around Paris it's way higher than some other places.

For temperature, we have a big heatwave since a few days but normally today is the last day of it

Wow! That was a really constructed answer, alright .

By "56k internet", I was refering to the famous 56k modem (Obviously, it's not the case, but his internet is so bad that it's not really different ^^ Well, I had the same upload as him until I got optic fiber )
I didn't really want to change the subject, just saying that he had a bad internet since the start and he never bothered moving, so I don't think he would move for any other reason either.

Well, It's the end, the "I can't work well in that heat" is just most likely the most convenient things to justify the lack of update. (Not saying that the heat isn't bothering, since I'm only lazying at home and it's already almost insupportable, but, well, we had a lot.. like a LOT of occasion to see how he's *working* these 2 last years ^^)

i am so old, I remember 56K internet being a game changer (hell, i remember a time with NO internets!). Or, at least, the first internet speeds that allowed for real-time online gaming. I did have Neverwinter Knights in the gold box that was AOL exclusive before 56k. But 56k let me get into Ultima Online.

Ah, the good ol days!

Neverwinter Nights, not Knights!

Is there an updated guide available?

gotta give a like and a praise to this dude for doing all this research lmao , using "hot weather" as an excuse to not deliver an update sounds dumb in 2022.

 

[gellune]

If the update at the end of this month still that weak (or just not update), I won't be subscribing to irphaeus anymore (not pretty much though).I'll subscribe to Caribdis (more diligent and higher quality right?)

Well the hot weather as an "excuse" is very reasonable, do you realize how hot places get without AC when you're using a PC that increases the temperature in the room by a few degrees.


That being said, he said the update should be out July 30th, even without the weather over there he wouldn't have the update out by the end of the month.

It's the PERFECT excuse for him because like you said it's actually a reasonable excuse

Yeah lol. It's an excuse that isn't a lie this time LOL.

 

[MiHawkins]

It would be a reasonable excuse if he was very hard-working dev continuously releasing updates and due to the heatwave said: Hey, I can't work as fast as I use to. Releases are going to slow down a bit.

When you're a lazy ass who only works two weeks after the second or third missed self-appointed deadlines, then no. Heatwave is not an excuse. Nothing is.

Of course everyone knows even without the heatwave he still won't have the update out on time, it's just this time his excuse is actually believable than say a car crash

 

[Math87]

It suck that the dev is lazy, W A is my favorite game . I dont support him with money because of is work ethic does not exist


It should updated at each 3-4 month maximum

Lazy or not you’re dead wrong about that, the fuck. What a bad take.

Is rape avoidable? Is it there like corruption and normal mode?

Rape is the main plot in the game so you will have plenty of it
There is corruption too, it happens with the principal's daughter and MC's mom (Maybe others but I can't remember). And I don't know what you mean by normal mode, I think this game is anything but normal lol

Dude. i live in a Tropical country, it sometime get to 38~40 degree celcius here,especially when tis summer- i know, but base on the graph the other guy made, i simply found it weird how someone like him cannot afford a new proper AC and a decent cooling system for his PC, that being said, there's no point in arguing whether his reason are legit or just excuse to delay a promised update, it will either come at July 30th or it wont, and there's nothing me or anyone can do about it tbh, all we can do is pray he will be able to deliver the update in time.

My dear, if you want sth vanilla and "innocent", then u definitely come to the wrong game and the wrong website , everything up here is far from "normal".

I know some people wanna upgrade their PC all at once, like me. An AC in one room can only do so much, I stayed with a friend down in Florida during the summer in his apartment and his gaming room became pretty hot even with an AC unit.
It definitely isn’t coming out july 30th, I would be surprised if it came out August 30th considering we’ve heard nothing about his proof reader or progress at all.
