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

[Rexizor]

It’s a husband and wife team and they work full time on this game. They’ve had some typical life events interfere with development.

I understand they’ve actually had two kids over the last two years, and one of the devs needed some surgery for something, so that changes the dynamics a bit. It’s very likely that one of the two devs doesn’t work full time on this game anymore, that’d be understandable, and very normal.

Thanks for the info, that's good to know. Seems kinda odd to me how many husband-and-wife lewd-game-dev teams I've seen recently. Or maybe that's just a coincidence/confirmation bias.

But here’s a singular statistic that completely justifies why people are sceptical of the latest episode’s development:

• Episodes 1-6 combined took a little over 2 years to complete all together. Episode 7 has taken over two years on its own.

I never said people weren't justified about complaining about the dev time. I think it is absolutely justifiable to complain about. However, doing so by insulting the patrons or the dev, and the dev's supporters insulting them back isn't accomplishing much of anything. I'm sure that the reason the dev time is so long is a combination of just real-life factors getting in the way, expectation and feature creep, and also possibly the dev not feeling very motivated to work on it, either because they're getting paid either way, or just because of burnout/similar things. I'm also quite skeptical about the dev time, I was just trying to present both sides of the argument in a concise and reasonable form so as to make it easier for people to see both sides of the issue as valid points.

Also, yeah, your summary of my previous comment is pretty accurate.

With this much time, i'm waiting for a completed game

This game was last updated more than 2 years ago. Yes, updates take longer with each patch, but not like this - and frankly, unless they literally double the amount of content they have in the game, it doesn't justify taking 2 years for a SINGLE update. It's pretty obvious that the devs are dragging the updates out to milk their patrons.

You are correct that no singular factor can make a game take so much longer, but factor in all the individual factors, then it becomes a bit more obvious why it could happen. Of course, there's probably a good amount of... not the best behavior in there. But lets not be hasty and assume the worst intentions in a dev. Most likely they did have a semi-significant number of days when they did less work than they were supposedly being paid for, but I assume you can imagine how demotivating working on a project for so long could be, due to all these complications reducing the time they could work and giving them a lot of financial issues. Read the post above your comment for more info.

Time traveler here from the year 2132 and we are still waiting for 0.9. Jumped back in time to recover lost data that was lost in the great purge.

Praise the Omnisiah.

Yeah I check their page every couple of weeks and the only thing that's changed over the last few months is the date

 

[K5434]

Wow, over 6k a month from Patreon and the last update was two years ago? How is that possible?

 

[maximusvegas]

Still barely any progress. Will check back again in 6 months.

If you read through some of the posts here you will know exactly why.
You can find at least two examples on this same page.

Is there some information somewhere about the estimated total play-time of the new chapter 0.7 Gomira once it is complete?

I'm quite curious as to how much play-time/reading time the new content will have once it is released, maybe longer than the other chapters so far?

Dev's words the other day:

I'd say there's a good chance it's longer than that, considering it has more words than 0.6 and also that the dev is known for erring on the short side of these reading time estimations.

Thank you for info.

More than 4 hours seems nice enough for a chapter. Playing through the other chapters so far took me about a day and a half of total hours back then.

 

[Papallymo]

Almost, getting really, really close now

 

[B_st_cloud]

Over 2 years for 4 hours of new content isnt great. If its not a good update I can see a massive backlash happening.

I'm a huge fan of 2D games, and this one is gorgeous with an incredible story.

It's not even 4 hours worth of art, it's 4 hours worth of reading.

While I'm quite curious about the erotic scenes, my expectation is that this upcoming release will deal more about the orc girl, and orc girl alone... which unfortunately isn't really my type appearance-wise (granted I find her her glory hole BJ scene kinda sexy).

So I had to inhale a bunch of SEEEEGGGSSS-copium and divert my attention to the story instead on what in the actual hell is going to happen to the story next that took them 2 goddamn years lmao

I still have my Celestina-nut and Gretta-nut all saved up for years now dammit! IT NEEDS TO BE RELEASED!!!

Agreed. I see people are being jaded as well from all of this mess so much that any updates they will release from this point on might not be met warmly anymore. It's gonna take a lot for them to win back the audience.

At this point I just lower my expectations for now, what with the heroine that has my least interest took 2 years to finish while my heroine-specific "NUT" has to take a backseat in the blueballs chair for years...

Though I still don't know much about the orc girl, I hope her personality, character development and role in the story makes up for this somehow, at least from a storytelling standpoint.

I do hope she's not the only heroine with an H-scene on this patch though.

Remember that it's the orc update... 2 years to get the orc is crazy. I guess people don't mind waiting 4 years to get some orc ass but I still think waiting 6 years for a basic orc is too much.

what a sad. wasting time doing project like this and just abandoning.
