Devil's Advocate: is it possible he posted back when this thread was under heavy moderation and his comments were all deleted for being inflammatory? I know the mods let us talk about almost anything tangentially relevant now, but that wasn't always the case.

No, that dude has a habit of coming into threads, making stupid comments and then dirty deleting them when he doesn't get whatever reception he's looking for. Best way to handle him is to not react to his posts but instead quote and clown on him.

Man, you don't even know who the fuck Zetan is and dare to talk. A lot of you guys here know jack shit about VN devs in general, and still dare to review or judge or say were the bar is... HOW the fuck you can judge anything if you don't know the ceiling level. OFC you would find "Friends" writing FANTASTIC if everything you have watch before is "Sesame Street"...

I agree in part, with what you say. But the "fantasy" part is total BS. Because it actually works the other way around. The more fantasy or crazy setting you choose, the more realism you want in it. And even with that, even a fantasy world has his own rules, you can't just justify some parts of a story with "it was a mage". NO ONE likes a story filled with deus ex machina to the brim.

Something just occurred to me and I'm disappointed I didn't realize this earlier. I've finally figured out what the hell is going on with BD. This might sound like a joke because I bash this moron all the time and he deserves it, but I'm serious here. I'm 99% percent certain that BD is a drug addict, and no I'm not trying to give him an excuse. It really explains all his behavior if you think about it. The lies, nothing getting done, the desperate need for money despite making a good living, and why he seems like a completely different person now. This is all incredibly common with drug addicts. Unfortunately I've had many friends and family members go through these struggles. So why this may seem like it's out of nowhere, trust me it's not.
dare to talk?me? yeah not only dare kiddo but i can do more than that,but i dont disrecpect other ppl for playing starfucking citizen or hwaterver you are playing on your p5....i dont kink shame anybody and dont need to know all the dev's names who do 2 updates or 19 [whatever] to know that i didt like the game or not,.....ds is a good game but isnt for me,....ntr,sandbox, those 2 i dont even play in the same game at all not that one not anything,..ds is a good game and thats all,..is my taste not yours and even if you dont like i dont tell you to fuck off and lgo play again zelda 23 thousand....Man, you don't even know who the fuck Zetan is and dare to talk. A lot of you guys here know jack shit about VN devs in general, and still dare to review or judge or say were the bar is... HOW the fuck you can judge anything if you don't know the ceiling level.

Well i don't doubt that " Unfortunately I've had many friends and family members go through these struggles. So why this may seem like it's out of nowhere, trust me it's not." But just for the sake of argument and sharing a thought about what you said, Id BD does use drugs wouldn't his familly take any type of measures to save his life from the addiction by sending him in a rehab clinic??? I mean no disrespect to you for thinking that but it seems logical to me that if i had a brother/son/nephew etc addicted to drugs to actually do something to help him out
update was pretty good, although the game is giving me some mystic/cult vibes. Maybe going to say the MC is "something" more than a normal person... some of his girls are addicted to him... to the point some are having serious withdrawal when his is not around. But maybe it is something else...
anyway I hope we get the missing renders and story soon.
peace

that could be it but my theory that i brought up multiple times before about the dev being a different person seems starts seeming more and more plausible

OH, you're just confused, I don't give a flying fuck what your taste is, but seeing what you consider "good writing" like this or grandma... I already know your taste SUCKS. And YES art is OBJECTIVE, all that bullshit that everything depends on taste is BULLSHIT. ALL art has parameters to measure it's quality. So, yes, you're totally entitled to have your own taste, and in your case, to be disgustingly horrible. I wouldn't give a fuck if you feed yourself with dog turds, but don't make ME pretend you're a "gourmet". You got it?

Well I'm not on the inside to have the answer to that. But if you want reasons why that wouldn't happen. They may have their own problems (drugs or other) or are simply enabling him not realizing the extent of the problem. You also forget that he is supporting them, if he wasn't lying about that. Which brings in the golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules. He could also just say if I have to go to rehab I have to pause and then you can't pay your bills. There are a bunch of reason why they wouldn't or couldn't step in. I don't know the people he has around him. But addicts are usually surrounded with enablers and other addicts.
Look I don't know BD at all. Feel free to chalk this up as someone's random speculation. Though I'd bet real money right now that he'd fail a drug test today, and I don't mean for marijuana. There are simply to many signs for me to think I'm wrong. Hopefully I am because I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Even BD. Probably
In the near future = 3 months?

At the rate BD is going with constant delays and content he claims is done but never materializes, I'm guessing 5+ months for b6 if it arrives at all.

Well i don't know BD either it's just my opinion in what could be the case if he is a drug addict ... I hope that you are wrong as well , i had a family friend who was a drug addict and his parents were struggling to help him deal with that so that is why i asked the hypothetical question....Well I'm not on the inside to have the answer to that.

I might be wrong but if the dev is a different person shouldn't he create a different Patreon account for the financing of the game ???I am just saying that is what i would expect if someone other than BD ever took over the game to make a new Patreon account

I thought this was a possibility at one point, because he seems so different and the development went off the rails. Looking at it realistically though I'd say it's highly unlikely. This game was so successful right from the start. How much would it take to buy it out? At least a few hundred thousand if it was me. That's just the starting point. If he kept a percentage of the game I'm sure he'd have the option to take the game back if the development wasn't to his liking or if the new developer was bleeding supporters. That's something you would do with someone you know and trust. Whoever this is sure as shit isn't trustworthy.
Hey almost anything is possible, life has taught me that.
Yeah it's a nightmare. Hopefully it worked out okay for them.
Unless it's a friend and they didn't want anyone to know out of fear of losing support. I don't think that's the case, but it's possible. As much as things have gone off the rails I think he would've taken development back. Unless he's getting money and doesn't care.
