Feature Post

Glad to hear.

PaddyOFurniture

I do live. Things are getting back to normal.

YummyTiger Gaming

Hey YT, you live and stuff I hope? I make the sad face crying sounds otherwise. More specifically, how are you holding up with everything lately?

Elaymidoray

Good to know and we looking forward for ANYTHING you would release and as Bunny sugest, it has not to be perfect, some Bugs here and there is quiet normal, so keep up the Work and let us know if something happens.

Shane

Yes. Alive and kicking.

YummyTiger Gaming

Vitals are good?

Any timeline estimates?

Dubsington

Nah, Dumai12 is not a shitposter. He's just skeptical, which is completely justified at this point. He's never once attack me, he just questions every release estimate I make--and he's unfortunately been right. Glad you still stop by from time to time though, because one of these times, there will be something new to check out. Hopefully, sooner rather than later!

YummyTiger Gaming

Lol, I stop in now and again to check this project, and just recognized the same shitposter! This Dumai12 guy has literally been hounding you for years! Too funny! But also pitiful...

Good luck, Yummy! It's quite cozy to come here once in a while, seeing things are going well for you. remembering some Zalran landscapes and leave thinking about some new adventures.

Curly

Starting Thursday, I'll be working on this full time again for at least the month of March. I'm hoping (as I'm sure all of you are) that will mean moving this forward once and for all. Thank you.

YummyTiger Gaming

Yes, my apologies. I didn't want to post until I have something worth saying. That may have been a poor choice in hindsight.

YummyTiger Gaming

One year later....

Benn

Any update for those of us not on Disc?

Lichchimp

2020, Year of the Tiger.

YummyTiger Gaming

I am pleased to see this update finally coming to life, fingers crossed. I can't wait to see what you'll eventually be coming out with; once the battle system is added in later. Keep up the good work Yummy-Tiger.

xellos49698

It's a bug, but you are able to verify by looking at your account page. I will say, if you've been charged, I have not seen any of it. Still, let me know so I can follow up.

YummyTiger Gaming

Its probably a bug, but if I go into "My membership(on the top of this page) it says I'm donating 10usd a month, though if I check "manage memberships(in my profile)" it correctly states that I'm donating 10 usd per major content update. Anyone able to confirm?

Lichchimp

It was a bit more than that, but it's going fine. I'm not in love with MV yet, but I'm kind of committed. Trello will be adjusted after this release to provide better transparency into how things are progressing.

YummyTiger Gaming

How's the game going Yummy? Seems like you had to tweak a few scripts judging by your trello.

People would have complained anyway. There is a brief period of enthusiasm but that wears off. Then the complaints start. You can't please everyone and you never will.

PaddyOFurniture

You do of course realize, that by now pretty much no matter WHAT you release and how good it is, people will be unhappy with the result? Your development just took to long. The players won't necesarilly have sky-high expectations, but nearly everyone will have a mental image of what the game will be, and it's basically guaranteed not to match the final product...

Flying Lizard

I agree, and I apologize for the delay in making another post. I am trying to answer comments and am active on Discord. Basically, when I post again, I want to hit the ground running and never look back. I don't want any more broken promises, any more months without information or posts, any more "resets" aside from this last one. So, I'm doing what I said and waiting until I have a release before posting, as well as getting things in order so that what comes after that release will be worthy of your support as well. I appreciate it more than mere words can relay. Thank you.

YummyTiger Gaming

Any Intel would be nice, so we can keep in toch.

Shane

Nothing besides I am working on it.

YummyTiger Gaming

When the front page updates drop, a release is right around the corner. I don't give dates at this point.

YummyTiger Gaming

any info?

yitan1983

Any updates?

SteamUP

And probably moldy too.

YummyTiger Gaming

There will be an MV testing release soon. If there are no major issues reported (and I think I've ironed most of them out), there will be a real release after. You'll see my Patreon front page updated when that happens to kick things off. Sorry for the long ass wait.

YummyTiger Gaming

Streak was already going to die, because the next release will be what I want them to be like going forward. That'll kill two streaks actually, the buggy alpha streak and the can't get shit out the door streak.

YummyTiger Gaming

I'm alive.

YummyTiger Gaming

stale bread?

Xiaolu

Boss is alive? Someone check him!

Nexano Gray

"I've had a release in August every year (granted, they've never been what I wanted), and I'd like to keep that little streak going."

some progress updates would be nice

Bunny

I mean, no ones given him money yet since it isnt a monthly subscription thing. Ill wait for the game to come out by checking on it once every few weeks, and if it comes out good, something to play. If it doesn't then bummer. Doesn't change the fact that it doesn't hurt me financially.

As far as I can remember, I paid attention to and sponsored the game in 2017. At that time, there was only 0.1 version, and at that time, the author would get 10,000 + dollars per month.Now two years have passed, where is our lovely game?Surprisingly, 811 people still support it. Hasn't the "RPG "bubble burst yet?!Now the author is going to carry out the "MV" project, I feel this is a new lie, please wake up

THE_VEZ

Thank you. I've actually read this post a few times to jumpstart my down moments.

YummyTiger Gaming

There should be movement this month. When you see the front page get updated, it means the release is right around the corner.

YummyTiger Gaming

God damn, we've gone to 3020 now! Will the Earth still be habitable?

YummyTiger Gaming

Release planned in 3020.

Nexano Gray

I've been looking forward to this game for so long. How much longer do I need to wait?

Koda Itaru

Thank you for asking this question Shane :p I wasn't sure if it was only me, that hadn't seen any lifesign since February (that's 5 months, almost half a year ago)

Auril

I am still here. I still check Patreon daily and am logging into Discord. My patreon page is kind of in hibernation while I get things in order. I want to kick off updates and have a release when I post and get everyone's attention. I did just update Trello, but I also have a plan for that which should be better for future releases instead of what I did this go around.

YummyTiger Gaming

We don´t want too much, but a since of Life and that you are still with us would be nice.

Shane

Shame!

PaddyOFurniture

I am now off to go make a shameless bump

Elaymidoray

I keep checking this page hoping for at least a comment here by Yummy but I guess we should just leave him be

Looks dead as hell. Any news?

Looks good, keep up! :))

Funkie - Adult Games Dev.

I just gotta say, this is one of my favorite pages on here. It's just the craziness of it all, that you can't help but sit back and laugh at it. Don't get me wrong this is not meant to be derogatory. I just love your stubbornness and tenacity, YT. I am absolutely pulling for you to get something done. I mean anyone else would have abandoned this project so long ago, but you are still in it, and to be frank that is kind of awesome. Also, admirable. I know someone else said it, but I agree, I want you to finish this for you. Yes, we will all benefit from it as well, but man you have been at battle with this project for so long that I would hate to see you "lose the fight". I also do know that people stick around because they can see your capabilities, and also we have not been charged yet. I hate to bring money into it, because this feels like it has moved past that. But without being charged we can watch and help provide you with words of encouragement while you fight this war. Anyways, I hope all is well in life. I hope your family is doing well. I know I am rooting for you. Alright, take care!

Badger66

I am.

YummyTiger Gaming

Hope you are doing ok.

Sybsidian

Art of necromancy must work here.

Nexano Gray

Going by the silence on discord and trello I'm going to assume this hasn't worked out. I guess we'll see by the end of May.

Dumai12

Just for people's knowledge, I'll be online and posting about what I'm working on daily on Discord. I'm still aiming to make my next post here a release, but as I'll be working a lot on the game over the next few weeks, I figure this will keep me moving forward.

YummyTiger Gaming

Been very busy, but I have a plan to get this out the door. I'm going the Dumai route for now and just holding out until I'm ready to post the release. I WILL put up a small reply in this post when I send out a small test version of MV to a few patrons and see if one or two will respond here to show people that yes, it does exist. Other than that, when those last couple cards move to finished on Trello, you'll see a release and post. Also, I will do my best to never get buried in quicksand like I did with this update, geez.

YummyTiger Gaming

It's been two weeks since you last commented. Just wanna know how you're doing personally - in life, I mean, but any other updates are welcome too.

Agree with Dumai12

I think a status post is irrelevant until release tbh. Its only purpose would be to show that you're still alive, which most people can check by looking at these comments or discord. Heh, you could make another release date to see if you can make it ;). That might be dangerous though because release dates seem to give you mental blocks...or something.

Dumai12

Would you guys like a post on the status of things or would you rather I continue as I am working in silence until the release. If you still check Trello, you should see that there have been a few steps forward, I also will be sending the MV prologue out to a few patrons just to test if it lags for them. MV ended up giving me a few headaches (which is kind of expected since scripting/systems is by far my weakest link of art/writing/scripting. So things are moving forward and shortly, someone not named YummyTiger will be able to vouch for that.

YummyTiger Gaming

I'll complete it for both.

YummyTiger Gaming

Man.. you must complete it. Not for us but for yourself. Well that's mine opinion, nothing more.

Nexano Gray

Well, there was a time when posts were coming frequently, but that eats up more than 15 minutes. Lore posts in particular are usually 1-2 hours. Given that all I want at this point is to get the release done, everything else has become secondary. The other thing is that I'm reluctant to create a full post and send a notification out without concrete information or a release at this point. I reply in comments, and I did post in January, but I thought that was concrete at the time. You can choose to not believe that real life health issues came into play, but that won't change the impact it had on my ability to work. I look forward to putting out a release and proving every single doubter wrong. I'm still here after everything, and in many ways I'm better focused on what matters in getting the game done.

YummyTiger Gaming

I've accepted the game update never coming out but why are all the planned posts never done either? You'd think they would only take like 15 minutes to write up but we almost never get artwork/lore/feature teasers. I swear they were promised as weekly like three times now.

Yes, it is. This week will be a good one for me being able to work on the game though. Should see some changes to Patreon in anticipation on the upcoming release... finally.

YummyTiger Gaming

Crawl to release... very very slow...

Nexano Gray

A question people have been asking since December 2016. Maybe it will happen one day though, who knows ^^ (No hate, it just seems a bit comical at this point, with the nice plethora of missed dates. In it's own special way, it's quite impressive.)

So... release or no release?

Rayne Knight

Thank you for the comments. I will note that you will get notified if there is ever an update and a subsequent charge. So, hanging back and just checking from time to time is a good plan. When you see the page getting updated and frequent posts start up, that will mean things are finally rolling.

YummyTiger Gaming

You're right, when I went full time I pissed it away. I wasn't charging anyone and I've worked hard my entire life. I let the freedom get the best of me and wasted that opportunity. That doesn't mean I want to drop the game though, as getting it released it still very important to me. That's the main reason I'm kicking myself for being a dumbass. I will say that while I have lacked consistency, I have without a doubt put over a thousand hours into the project. I don't know exactly how much, but I know that I had around 600 in RPG Maker VX Ace and I've got about 400 in MV. That doesn't include any drawing, writing, planning, etc. All of that has been done without charging any of you because I want to get this released and give you guys a good game. So, I may be a lazy bastard, but there is some good in me and I damn well intend to get this done after all the shit I've dealt with over the years.

YummyTiger Gaming

What are you talking about, I just saw your comments and have not removed any of them.

YummyTiger Gaming

I don't want to be completely unfair to you though. I do think that you are extremely talented as a writer. That is what hooked me from the beginning. I understand that you may have gone through some tough couple of years. I do sympathize with you there. Like I said before, I will continue to keep an eye out periodically to see if anything has posted. More so to see if there really is any ligitamacy to this project. Or... if it is just an artist who doesn't know when to throw in the towel.

"Try full time again". I think it is safe say that you have never tried it. That would imply that 40 hours are being spent each week toward the game. Unless I missed something and the definition of full time 40 hours a year...

My recommended method will be to do the combat, but it wasn't a huge task to add this feature in as I rebuilt the game in MV. Plus, I truly can see it being useful later in a chapter when you might be tired of seeing combat scenes or on a replay to get the missed content.

YummyTiger Gaming

Yes, it probably seems that way. There have been issues beyond my control which are really screwing things up. I know people don't want to hear it, so I won't go into it. Now that I'm home, I will get the teaser up and the posts going like I promised two weeks ago. I'm basically at the same point, but either I will die or eventually, I get time to do the last leg of this seemingly never-ending journey and put out a release. I'm going for the latter.

YummyTiger Gaming

Here we go again seems to be quiet as usual though

Cory Carson

The combat is really solid tho, it's what makes these games good. Gameplay should always be a core pillar.

Sybsidian

Thanks for the update, Yummy! That nightmare mechanic sounds intriguing. Think I'll go for full grind though.

Starfish

Patreon removed stretch goals? Would you mind providing a link? My Google-fu is not showing anything on it. Either way, the dark route is a go, but may be an offsite download...

YummyTiger Gaming

Are you still doing the dark route? Just wondering with the removal of stretch goals and Patreon rule changes if thats been scrapped or not?

I often struggle to find time to play games but also hate skipping content so this sounds perfect for me :)

rm

Well, I just missed a release date and have not actually released it yet... so, I think you still have me. Now, when I'm dancing around my office because I just uploaded the actual release and I'm ecstatically posting all over the place. Then, I'll be a whole new Tiger.

YummyTiger Gaming

What? Game soon?! Hey, give my YummyTiger back!!!

Curly

I think this is a good thing to have. Personally, however, I liked the combat in the demo, so I'll be doing the battles myself.

Maniac

February 10th - 16th is the release target. You should get a teaser or two along the way.

YummyTiger Gaming

Cool!

Terebonkoff Game Studio

Well, I'll cheer you on and hope for the best this time. Hopefully everything works out and we can forget about the infamous end of 2017 debacle, lol.

Jhunt

looking forward to the next week :D

bigtotoro

Welp, I guess i'll wait for the full game mode then.

Ericridge

Sounds good to me. Sometimes grinding is a grind.

PaddyOFurniture

Maybe as a DLC :-). I'll call it the NineHorseHitch torture mode.

YummyTiger Gaming

interesting. very interesting.

OhioOkie

Could we get a super grind mode?
