There is a fight scene in the update I worked hours and hours on it more than any sex scene lol.

'm really proud of that fight scene it read like a good manga/anime
Could this be the most wanted Jira vs Takamura!! (crossing fingers)
or Maybe
Kayane helping MC defeat the two lurkers of kidnapping Motoko's young sister ??

the fight has around 30 renders, each of them took me an hour~
The mini-game with brooke actuly tooks me way less time to do
it's on the same 'stage' with one point of view and will less character
Priorities in a porn game: spend 30 hours in a fight scene. It better be an oil wrestling between girls

Well, if this update features the Gym add with Takamura.... i guess a fight there? Probably Mr Idiot tough he could actually slip some Heart Drugs into Takamura drink and mc and Taka start a fight?

Edit: Well the "on the same stage" makes me think im wrong now that i re-read it..

Depends if "same stage" means the same stage as the other fight, or just that the fight is in a single stage. Irphaeus not being a native english speaker, we can't really know...

Would make for a pretty nice scene. Creep slips her some drugs, she gets worked up, snaps at the MC once they get back and then they proceed to work the stuff out of her system. Yes, I can get behind that.
(He can also reuse assets for that scenario...)

Takamura is probably the only character i dont wanna dick with the use of the drug... XD MC & Taka pacing is kinda romantic.
Also, the MC already did that with the Idol girl... when he goes to the massage room and gives her the D because she was under the drug... would be a repeat of story (doesnt mean is not gonna happen, just my opinion).

Well at least this guy is still making excuses, its some info at least!.
Unlike some other Dev who I wont name, Who hasn't released an update in roughly the same amount of time and hardly ever release any info at all!.
Honestly i don't know why mods are not harder on devs like this, Maybe add a DELAYED tag to devs who haven't posted an update in 6 months!.
At least then new people will know that an update should have been released by now and it has been delayed, possibly because the game may be going on HOLD or will be ABANDONED!.
"As that usually what happens when you have been waiting on an update for this long, Its usually because the devs lost interest or having some other issue and more often then not the game gets abandoned or put on hold a few months later"
(Just my 2 cents)

Well, this website needs a tag for these cases, like Inactive or Slow updates, since Abandoned cannot be used unless the dev states so. This might be a piracy website, but most of the new patreons stumble upon the game through here and some distinctive tag could be useful for them to not waste their money recklessly and instead use that money to support more honest devs

I think its pretty apparent that he didnt work for like 5-6 month after the last update, and is now scrambling to get the promised work done. I just hope he learns from it, and can find a middle path between overworking (which is something I believe him with), and not working at all while making empty promises. I understand creativity isnt something you can force, but maybe he can find some regular working hours for himself.

What is it with games set in Japan made by western devs where they feel the need to include the Yakuza in every plotline? I swear I Ecchi Sensei, Peaceful Life and now this. Seriously the most overrated crime gang in Japan.

I actually agree with you in general there.

I don't think a new tag is needed, or even all that helpful, though. Defining "tardy" or even "infrequent" development process is usually pretty hard. It would catch Irphaeus, where I can justify the use, and Oni, who is pretty dilligent in his work, but clealy sees his game as a side project and thus updates sporadically. He is like a dog on a bone for the following weeks though when it comes to ironing out kinks in the newest build.

I agree these sporadic "hey I'm alive" posts by the dev, especilly one with a discord server, are a little too easy a way to bypass the second criterium for the abandoned tag, though. (x months, 3 I think, without sign of life from the dev) You want as few tags as possible to keep things simple and concise.Perhaps only counting full patreon posts might be a good compromise? When you go to the page, you will see the "sorry delay" posts at the top and you might reconsider.

How about slapping a "on hold" tag onto games that missed a (original) deadline, either agreed upon deadlines or assumed for monthly releases, for more than 6 or 8 weeks? it would at worst force a dev to communicate more clearly, at best it might, as you said, force them to reconsider their time management. I recall the shitshow that was "Babysitter" by T4bbo, and that was functionally on hold for a long while, only to be rushed to a dissatisfying ending afterwards. Perhaps a thread warning a la spacebattles that tells you how long ago the last update was when it exceeds 90 days might work better, if we have to ad anything.

And to those gearing up for rebuttals a la "there are legitimate reasons for delays!": with incremental content update processes, as all of these games use, you can cut off development at basically any time and release a "beta" or "mini" update. There is little playtesting needed in VN style games without much in the way of interactive elements, run through your build once, fucky filenames/references/whatever spit out pretty clear cut errors in these linear settings. Descision trees can be tweaked later on down the road (though I do not envy the guy who ends up fixing that, it is a legit shit job), you might ruin savegames, but meh.

As I mentioned before, bad time management is not an unfogiveable trait, but there have to be mechanisms in place to keep that in check, and you need to admit it to yourself. Ironclad deadlines, and short ones at that, usually help. Written out developer updates, either weekly or monthly, with clearly defined, binding goals for the month, and a report on how much was achieved can help. Of course you can lie in those reports, but once the due date rolls around, you have clearer reason to drop your pledge.

At the end of the day, I do not want people to brigade like Orks and run out on developers due to peer pressure. I want people to have all the information they need to make informed descisions. And I want that information to be as easily availible as possible, hence why I hate all the spamming going on in this thread. I want them to either say "fuck it, this is a nice game and I can take the delays" "I only support release month + x" or "the dev is full of it, I'll just pirate this shit".

I, for the nth time, am in the support month + x camp and I recommend it.

The game undeniably has great art, the meme and weeb humor is on point for those who are into that kind of thing, the characters are surprisingly not terrible like you'd expect from a game that proudly proclaims to be a weeb porn parody. Even the story is not completely retarded, though it skirts the borderline. There is a lot on offer here, so I can totally understand people deciding that this game is a project worth supporting, despite the frequent delays and all the drama. On the other, I can absolutely understand the people feeling cheated. It is okay to feel either way, we are all adults-ish here, and when facts failed to sway someone either way, insults sure as shit wont, and peer pressure shouldn't.

For the same reason any trope is used: recognition, streamlining, worldbuilding and a bit of lazyness. it saves you a lot of worldbuilding that would detract from the story you wish to tell. Why fix what isn't boken, and why not use something you know resonates with people. They swallow familiar things with less fuss than wholly original things.

Yakuza, the mafia, the Russian mob, the Triads. They're all lazy shorthand for organized crime for writers.

It works though, doesn't it? Besides, it's not like it ruins the game but that's just me. The Yakuza in Ecchi Sensei isn't breaking the game, so is the Yakuza in this game.

Any game that hasn't been updated in 6 months should automatically get an On Hold tag.
