Agreed, a joke is supposed to be funny.

Seeing all these people come and cry about it, sure bring laughs though...

The fact this was done without the Dev's consent is reason enough to remove the MOD who went through with this charade. It being a pirate site that has so far been pretty transparent and diligent about building trust with their base, this weird joke killed a lot of that trust.
It'll be water under the bridge once that mod is removed, as well as an apology to the dev for putting them in the middle of this.

Sadly that won't happen. We have been in talks with someone on the staff and they pretty much said nothing can be done about it ( I think they even said they wouldn't stop the prank and let it continue ).

Trash situation all the way around. Your game is solid, I hope this doesn't discourage your momentum, and I look forward to the real update!

We're still going strong as ever. Would be nice to know who leaked the actual Ep22 script though from the QC team so we can move on and get a release out quicker but now we're having to test it ourselves and with the fixes ontop of that it's just slowing us down.

That's some next level professionalism right there. This may be a pirate site but have some standards won't you?
hi
the game does not work, it does not launch. I copied the unzipped files in the game that I had version "episode 21", and when I client on the EXE file, I have the hourglass 10 seconds and then nothing..

The release isn't a working game. Someone thought it would be funny to release a non-working game on April fools day.

I am 100% unsurprised that the mods on this site responded that way.
Sorry you were put in the middle of this. I'd like to think the joke was made with good intentions and not out of malice. I saw the update and was excited, for whatever reason I thought I would come back and download it later instead of then, lucky for me I did that. I think people who are saying this joke damaged the site's reputation are taking F95 just a little too seriously.

Music is not a requirement. It is an extra. Does it help some - yes. Does it bother others - yes. Should it be a focus of a VN - No. It is an extra that may or may not help. It varies by person. The focus must be the story and the art first. Music cannot fix a broken story or gloss over poor art. After that, additions such as animations and music can be brought in to improve the product. As long as it adds a positive it is fine. If it detracts or wastes time it is not good. There is no absolute here, which you implied, and it must be measured by the Devs as to the value added and the audience they serve. Would you prefer that each update be extended to add music which may or may not (as you yourself indicate) add value. I think many would disagree and prefer shorter update times. The possibility of Music added as a major clean up at the end of the VN (as acewinz has indicated) is likely to be very acceptable.
