Ren'Py What a Legend! [v0.7.05] [MagicNuts]

[storm1051787]

The fact one update a year is the normal in this site doenst make it right,they are alot of hungry devs who actually try to release stuff as often as possible.

Yeah and most of those updates are small ones that can be finished in like an hour with only a couple of new scenes.


Games that update frequently typically have short updates, games that update like one a year typically have more content per update. That's exactly what this game has been for the past 3 updates. One big update once a year that finishes a character's storyline. Like I said I don't get the big deal. If you are that tired of waiting just play a different game. I see comments like these on pretty much every thread and I don't really understand them. I could get it if the updates were irregular and often short but they're not

Good for you, smart guy

I appreciate the kind words.

Guys new update in 2 more weeks. Trust the plan.

The pixeldrain link for win/linux uncompressed actually goes to an old mac version. Not sure who to report that to.

Use the Report button on the bottom left of the OP, that'll bring some options select Other and type in the problem in More Information.

More like two months, in my opinion.

I'm only guessing here but it could be just a way to release some accumulated frustation, some people are just better at dealing with it than others or can simple "mind trick" themselves to not suffer from not having whatever they are waiting delivered to them as soon as possible or are just like you and understand that waiting don't emply to seat in front of their devices until the moment they get what they want and can just make good use of that time to do something else, maybe in the end is just better to let them have their moment and not make both sides acumulate more frustation for no reason with unecessary arguments.

Three more weeks or thereabouts. Q

I think there are as many as four reasons for the slow progress:
1. A second baby arriving. Looking after two babies must eat up a lot of time, and exhaustion from interrupted sleep at night can't help.
2. From their posts on their Patreon, they are clearly perfectionists.
3. Chestnut produces all the art from scratch, rather than use an art package. This does mean that it's much higher quality, the outstanding feature of the game IMO.
4. There's just the two of them. As a married couple, I can see why they don't want to bring in anyone else, as it would greatly change their work dynamic.

I mean 2 of those points are fair enough not in there own control, two are but regardless this update is clearly starting to hurt where it matters most, there wallet.

Scam dev apologist

 

[Sir_EatsALot]

Why isn't this game marked abandoned? I thought it was the policy to mark a game abandoned after 18 months of no updates even if the dev "says" he is working on it.

 

[Rodjrgr]

why the fuck a game with weekly development update got marked "abandoned"?

 

[DD_King]

why the fuck a game with weekly development update get marked "abandoned"?

2 years brov the weekly mark is bs this abandon will make the dev work faster though you will see update soon but yeah they are scammers of some sort

Yeah, 2 years is kind of unacceptable, but the update is like 95% finished. Summertime Saga is in 80% with much more people working on it.

i agree but summertime is different story its very old game and they have finished the game long time ago the updates are harder to make since they run out of ideas but this is hasn't even reached v1.0 yet so they should have written enough story and planning for the full game by the first year and that too generous as well first biggest BS is planning in the weekly report the f is that what are you planning for in 2 years even in 1 year

 

[DD_King]

also with the amount of money they are making they could hire at least 2 people long time ago

 

[Filipis]

It feels terrible to wait so long for an update to this game, but knowing that their Patreon supporters gave them the green light for this kind of update cadence, well... you can't be mad at anyone else other than the whales that seem to possess no financial intelligence whatsoever.

If they didn't finance this type of behaviour, then we wouldn't even be in this mess, now would we? But I understand that it is easier to blame the people that you can actually interact with, as opposed to the faceless mass of folk with seemingly bizarre amounts of disposable income.

 

[Mme De Bourgeois]

I bet all those clamoring for the "Abandoned" tag are now wanking off on their achievement.
The game is not abandoned and F95Zone has no authority over it.

 

[Mme De Bourgeois]

You live with your parents or you have no idea how much it costs to hire people.
If €6,889/month, before Patreon's cut and before taxes, is their only income, it doesn't leave quite enough money as you think.

You´re half kinda technically right but that´s only half the truth.

The other half is that if the dev doesnt update in 5 years, but adds a line to his work every week (or at least says so) and posts some BS status update on patreon then yes, the game technically isn´t abandoned.

If the dev doesnt update in 50 years but keeps doing the same BS then the game technically still isn´t abandoned.

If the dev doesnt update in 250 years because he died but his grandgrandgrandkids keep on doing the same BS then the game technically still isn´t abandoned.......

But...........hehehe................. at some point any sane person has to look at the game as abandoned as it effectively is at some point, and on this site that point and the rule is after 18 months of no update the game is marked as "abandoned" and rightfully so, no matter of status updates. There shouldn´t be any discussion of that. I would even lower that to 12 months.

And lets not be naive here, the devs don´t like the abandoned tag because it´s an immediate sign of their slow development and every dev would like to avoid it because it really doesn´t look good and here on f95 are potential supporters - that´s why ICSTORE tried to game the system by releasing some status update right before his game being marked as abandoned.

Again, the "abandoned" Tag is a good thing and should be applied automatically as it´s a incentive for devs to avoid it. Not really too hard to understand.....
