I have no words.
Added 2020-05-26 02:38:20 +0000 UTCThis is the dialog with the programmer and me (from discord) and the translation below. He wrote to me just right now, that’s all... I dont know what to say guys.. I am very upset (I would have posted the dialog between us yesterday, but it took a while to translate it)
From other news. I have already finished work on new locations and heroes (3 locations, 5 heroes) for the third act. Yesterday I already started to pose and render.
The new programmer is already delving into the essence of the work.
I try to treat the incident as a little trouble, because I have big plans for this project and this cannot stop me!
I would like to do compliments all subscribers as an apology, but right now I do not know what I can offer.

Look, we need to finish Act 1 and immediately proceed with Act 2. When we initially discussed the terms, you said 5 days for the correction of Act 1 and a week for Act 2. I conveyed that to subscribers (promised a new release) and that was on 25th of April. I understand that we did more than firstly planned.
Hatsimufu
And the scope of work turned out to be bigger too. As well as the poor skills of the previous programmer I had to deal with.
Super Alex
I agree. I mean if it was up to me, I would release the update tomorrow already.
Now it really depends only on you. What options do we have?
Hatsimufu
To finish off the Act 1 as a “rough alpha-version” today and get familiar with scope of Act 2 and its deadlines tomorrow.
Super Alex
Basically, the Act 1 is done except for the scrolling back and skipping the empty images.
Hatsimufu
And I mean the deadlines wouldn’t be “a week for everything”, at least now I have an understanding of what, how and why.
“Basically, the Act 1 is done except for the scrolling back and skipping the empty images”
That’s what I’m working on right now.
Super Alex
Could you possibly do extra hours on the project for an extra pay?
In order to keep the overall deadlines shorter. It’s up to you as I don’t possess the full info, I just want to conclude the Act 2 as soon as possible. Then there will be a plenty of time for smaller details.
Hatsimufu
I’ll do my best, honestly, but many things are not up to me. I won’t take excessive pay, but I can’t let it occupy more of my time than agreed either.
Super Alex
Understood. Then the plan for today is Act 1 and you’ll look through Act 2 and tell me what you think tomorrow. We’ll proceed off from that.
Hatsimufu
Most likely I’ll look at Act 2 even today, later in the evening.
Super Alex
Deal. I’ll give you a link to the materials later and we’ll discuss the payment for Act 1 right away.

I corrected the fast scroll bug in a primitive but the fastest and reliable fashion.
The click is still necessary, but the text field is shown no more. The last thing I would suggest is to fill the credits already.
Super Alex
I’ll do it right away.

Super Alex
I made the transfer.
Hatsimufu
Received. I’ve read the screenplay but would also like to get illustrations and other materials. Let’s look towards agreeing on two weeks + a week for possible mistakes and accidents.
Super Alex

Here’s our working folder. There are materials for the Act 1 as well as the Act 2 and common things for both.

Super Alex
Hi! Any questions yet?
Hatsimufu
No. I’m currently writing the basic scripts and do the sketches of choices screens as well as cooking some minor stuff.
11.05.2020
Super Alex
Hi! Is the work going on?
Hatsimufu
Hello. Yes, generally. Don’t have anything to show right now, I’m working with the code yet. In the nearest days I’ll do interactions and choices screens and then start steadily filling the screens between them. As soon as I have something to report, I’ll get in touch immediately.
Super Alex
I get it.

Hi. For the most of the previous week I did not have access to my working PC, so there was no news. Tomorrow evening, Moscow time, I’ll let you know on the results, deadlines and stuff.
Super Alex
Hi! Ok, I’ll be waiting.
20.05.2020
Hatsimufu
Well… I wanted to send you the artworks and at least the screenshots of the working process, but I can’t get out of this city mess. Considering “a week for accidents” I still meet the deadlines, so I’ll definitely show it to you tomorrow.
Super Alex
Understood. So we aim at the 27th. I mean, is the most of the job done by now?
Hatsimufu
The least. But the rest is a long and dull process.
Super Alex
I know what you’re saying.

Hello. I did not have the time to work on the game and I will not have it any more. I really wanted to finish the project, but the circumstances decided against me, for what I apologize.
Comments
I hope you soon will find a solution which can accelerate this issue. :)

2020-05-27 20:53:37 +0000 UTCBro, i love your game, i love every content, u did a great job so far.
2020-05-27 20:53:34 +0000 UTCThe programmer is already versed in the game code. Obviously, I won’t be able to release the 2nd act at this month. (May)
SUPER ALEX
2020-05-27 07:42:42 +0000 UTCSo what does this mean?you have to find another programmer or wait for him?does this will take another long time to wait?
2020-05-26 18:52:52 +0000 UTCDamn, that are really bad news. But I hope you continue as said and I am looking forward for the game!!

2020-05-26 15:49:06 +0000 UTCHatsimufu was a complete waste of time!!!! Hope you can find a better programmer

2020-05-26 11:39:32 +0000 UTCI guess we all are disappointed with this development, but for you this must be much more difficult. So that's life sh... happens and we have to move on. For me it's more important that you keep us informed, even with bad news, waiting days and week and we don't know what's happening behind the scenes that's the worst part. No need to be afraid, just talk to us... ;)
2020-05-26 11:00:11 +0000 UTCThank you all! The new programmer shows his interest in my project. But now I'm afraid to give any comments ..I will keep you posted.
SUPER ALEX
2020-05-26 09:51:29 +0000 UTCHi, when I read the title, I didn't know what to expect, but after read all translation text, I have to say the title is very appropriate. So basicaly all the time he did nothing and in the end he said sorry I'm lazy idiot and I'm not interested anymore. What a prick. I hope we all hope that next programmer will be more loayable and more committed to create something for others. Good luck and count on my support.

2020-05-26 07:20:39 +0000 UTCIt's sad news. If you find a new programmer, he will have to familiarize himself with it. Every programmer works differently and maybe he will have to change act 1 again before he can work on act 2. I personally will continue to support you.
