Mini-update on things

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to type up a mini-update to keep things rolling. There has not been quite a much progress on Trello last week. I was out-of-the office a few days for a short family vacation, and what work I did do was of the testing variety. I don't have cards setup for that.

Late this week or early next, I plan on posting a lore update. Then hopefully the next post is a release. If I can't get a release out the door by the end of the month, I post a full CG from the update (externally linked to limit spoilers) to allay the masses.

Well, that's about it. Keep an eye on Trello as things get checked off.

I will have an update for everyone on the status of things and what to expect Monday (I should never assume I'll have time to do anything on the weekends...). Thank you.

YummyTiger Gaming

Yes, yes I do.

As I'm sure you know, 40 days can go by pretty fast :P.

Dumai12

You're both right, and the Dumai clock is down to 40 days.

"Nothing" is free too, which is what we've gotten so far, unless you count the release he told us not to play. So yea you say it's free, but that means jack squat. In any case we're entering the holidays now so the chance of a release before February is around nil going by past experiences. Yummy seems extremely stubborn about those last scenes, so it's doubtful there will be any release before they're done.

I never said it was a scam, I'd just like think not being a scam isn't the most we can ask for.

The thing I'm worried about is the epidemic of heart attacks that will sweep the community when it does get released. Everyone's little minds will be blown. For a week. Then we'll be saying "When's the next update?"

/If it then takes another 8+ months to get that, what then?/ His pledges are collected once per chapter release. NOT monthly. There is absolutely no reason and no way to scam anyone with this kind of payment.

SpFinX

That's why I said pledged not paid. Sure you can release it for free but you're still on a site whose purpose is for people to give you money. I just don't think the mantra of "it's free" is helping. Eventually the people reading this will have been charged money for part 1 and will be waiting for part 2. If it then takes another 8+ months to get that, what then? If you want this to be a hobby you do for fun then by all means take as long as you want. But if you're gonna ask people to fund this as a project then I think it's fair to ask for some basic level of reliability.

Incorrect. Past releases and future releases will be available to download for free. You can play the game and never pledge anything. That is free. As for the locked post, most people pledging have not paid anything, they've pledged that they are considering paying something when a release drops. Finally, YOU can easily "delete" this Patreon. Simply unpledge and move on. This post was from August, pretty sure I have gone silent until I have something worthwhile to post. That said, you can definitely complain or offer criticism, just try to keep it constructive.

YummyTiger Gaming

It's not free though. We're being asked to pay for part 1 of like 10+ at some point in the future. This is a locked post so everyone reading this must have pledged something. Yummy should have just deleted the Patreon like he said he would and gone silent till he actually had something to show that this isn't a colossal waste of everyone's time.

Its free, so don't complain. :]

Oh, look. Another not-release again.

MasterQi

Thank you! I'm hoping you love me even more when I actually release something in the coming weeks.

YummyTiger Gaming

It depends on if I can hit the 10 scene threshold. If so, then yes, I plan to make the upcoming release a pledged update, if not, then the next release will be a pledged update. Currently, I'm at 7 scenes and counting.

YummyTiger Gaming

We love u!

Sybsidian

Is there still gonna be an updated beta or is the next release a pledge update?

Keep up the good work! So excited for another release. Probably my favorite game on Patreon :)

You're right, it's another broken promise in a string of broken promises. My sole focus has been on using all my time on getting a release out the door. I need to stop making promises, I know this, and yet I keep doing it. If I'm able, I will post the teaser. My time is limited, so the release takes priority. It's not much of an excuse, but I did believe I would have it ready and kind of thought the release itself would more than make up for it.

YummyTiger Gaming

1 month later still no CG. Even the if I don't release anything I'll do this promises are broken.

Kegg

Interesting, going by Trello I think this is the closest Yummy has ever been to a real release since the prologue. Ah who am I kidding, once he is at the last task it'll be revamp time! In all seriousness, GL getting a release out at the crossroads of September and October Yummy. Get that sucker out there so we have a real start point to go from...and don't get too bogged down with your perfectionism.

Dumai12

There will be one posted when it's ready.

YummyTiger Gaming

Looks like you have about eleven tasks left to do on trello, you're making ground. xD

Ericridge

So CG or no CG?

Rayne Knight

Just bouncing in to say Hello!

Curly

Sometimes I've thought that, but he did produce a finished translation one time. I think he just has serious procrastination issues, then when he misses a deadline he takes it as an excuse for another vacation + more revamping. Rinse and repeat ad nauseam and this is what you get. If he can stop with the revamping we might get something someday.

Dumai12

I'm still hoping that you just release something out of the blue right now, but it feels like it's not going to happen. I mean, you can't even be bothered to upload the cg like you promised. Is this all just one big prank or something?

Kegg

You can't help but admire it. He's made an art form out of empty promises.

Aurora Blackburn

So the CG that was from the update that will not be from the update but recycled from the ancient material (but mind you, resized), has not come yet. Same old same old. So this is the new revamped approach YT?

lol

Jhunt

I guess full cg today?

Justjorge

Thank you. If history is any guide, I'll accept any luck I can get.

YummyTiger Gaming

I see. Good luck.
