still trying to figure out by what problems he means for 13 or 14.... considering before this month started he said "its done and just being playtested before release!".... then suddenly neither are finished/working and the month long bs started again *shrugs*
>still dealing with issues
What he means is he's actually just now working on EP14

Just like the school kid who puts off a several week long project until the night before and tries to scramble for excuses the teacher would buy to extend the deadline. That's clearly what's going on here. There's no way he had it in the bag ready to go all but the compiling. But that's where he always messes up. To be a good liar, you have to be competent, consistent and have a good memory.
I like how some devs like tomboy supremacy drop pics almost daily showing their work....when they say they couldn't work on something for a few days because of being sick, pet turtle was sick, got kidnapped by drunken aliens...it's believable.

I know as far as this forum is concerned, his reputation is in the toilet, and there's been an uptick in grumbling on his Discord. And this doesn't really matter. But he really should've held off on announcing that he "hired" "Dionyx" until after this stupid update was released. Because right now, he looks even more like a pathetic liar than usual, even more than when he "hired" "MacKenzie", who was also supposed to push out whatever was "done". We've been waiting months, and trying to create a failsafe system with "hiring" "other people" obviously doesnt work. So if he waited, he'd only look slightly less bad. At least imo.

Yeah right, where did I read that before?
BD should have been a politician, just like them he makes promisses that doesnt keep.
BD exactly like Chinese cookies both of them full of lies and empty promises.
he hasn't released ep13 , that means he isn't done with 13 yet, still no playtesting so forget about it

wasn't the news 2 weeks ago he was playtesting but he had "compiling" issue which prevented him from releasing it
Disclaimer: Not a defense of BD.
I think you can test the game without compiling. I've only messed around with Ren'Py casually, but it has a mode that lets you play through and debug, so the testing may have been done there.
What's wild is that a compilation error has taken two weeks to sort. I'm calling BS on that if I'm living in a fantasy world where the content and issue actually exist. In reality, there is no compilation error because there is no content to compile.

Yes, he does his "testing" within the renpy dev environment by reviewing the dialog and imagery. He doesn't compile first and then do alpha testing, etc. Someone who operates like him is going to be backwards when it comes to common sense shit like that. But he lost passion for this and it's become a chore that he's stuck with because of how much freaking money it yields to do little to nothing. Add the tendency to put off stuff until the last minute and you end up with what you have. A bunch of scrambling, failure and then lies to cover those failures up. People who hate him though won't accept the whole truth of the situation, only the parts that confirm their biases. Anyone who makes a practice of doing things like that is going to fail hard.
So to recap, he's been putting off work until the last minute, trying to bust it out quickly, failing, then scrambling to get it done ASAP without even tasting the stuff properly before release. He literally compiles as the very last step and, barring any errors prohibiting completion of the package, and then immediately uploads the file. If he doesn't change that flow, I guarantee that it will be impossible to ever make it better. Odds are he's going to keep on doing what he's doing until enough support goes away. I mean what else is he cut out to do? Flip burgers? Stock shelves? I bet that any proper jobs he has had have been a complete disaster. At least knowing he has limited options keeps the glimmer of hope alive that this story will be finished. That and sunken cost has possibly thousands of people jammed up and refusing to cut their losses just yet.

Possible, that's not a playtest though.

If he was doing that, he could release EP 13. Since he's not doing that ...

Well for him to "he could release EP 13" it means that he has worked the hours required and completed Ep 13 and have tested it... I believe that he did not had even started the second part of Ep 13

That's basically what I was saying.
If the current state would mean he is only now working on EP 14, that should mean EP 13 is finished.
That would mean he could release it since he planned split releases last time I checked.
So EP 13 not being released yet for me means that not even that is done yet.
