Development rumors.

Mr. Beef. Update date. February 6 (one week). I need this time to patch up all the new numerous holes in the huge canvas of the script of our game. And I also want to work on the sounds for the big sex scene. Poor Jack. T_T The update will be accompanied by a file with a detailed walkthrough.

Comments

Going by the usual schedule it should be the Fifth, Fourth, and Third level tiers release last night on Feb 10h, Second tier release date Feb 14th and the First tier release date Feb 17th. I'm going by Pacific time though. It was a kind of incomplete release. Getting something out the door to appease the natives. There should be more shortly. It was fun though.

PaddyOFurniture

I still see that we can get update on the same day. Was it prerelease? Will be release on 14th?

noneaa

Used to we could get update on 5$ wall. When the 5$ update?

noneaa

Not yet. We'll see.

PaddyOFurniture

He seems to make things really complicated

GoHawks1840

no notice today ?

Brandon Salas

idk why the date was given in the first place lol. I dont think the update was anywhere near finishing. I suspect march or end of Feb

Anchor22

I’m guessing the update is delayed again?

Forty9erfan

The thing is longer wait doesn't equal longer play time.🤔

Anchor22

Just a little reminder of plans 7 (seven) months ago: Jack's workouts The White Lady Character's past line Exciting adventures for Sam and Jack New interactive location which you can rich by train Unforgettable railway trip New art and animated scenes for Sam Jack loses her innocence (almost), if you let it to happen

Evgeny Balo

I think that is the frustrating thing for us is not knowing what is going on and promised deadlines being missed, it has great artwork and characters which is why we want it to succeed.

Forty9erfan

I just hope the team knows we’re all here because we’re genuinely excited and invested in what they’ve made. And if there’s a snag, that’s okay. If they need some extra dev hands, that’s cool too, but keeping us in the loop will never lose them points.

Agamemnon

We can burn that bridge when we get to it;)

PaddyOFurniture

If this is the problem it looks like we have some volunteers.

PaddyOFurniture

It doesn't help him much with the releases anyway. Having freed himself from coding, he hit perfectionism with redrawing the entire game :)

Evgeny Balo

This is the best solution

Forty9erfan

Pretty sure Dark Cookie got all his programmers from discord. They run it like Electronic Arts. He creates tasks, but he does the art. There are two full-time programmers. He used to do the the programming himself but he’s an artist and coding was making him nuts.

GoHawks1840

YES!!! Why are they making it so hard for themselves? Keep it simple

GoHawks1840

Hey man, if you got issues with coding please ask the community for help. You got amazing artistic skills. There’s clearly a lot of content you can produce but if coding is a bottleneck then I’m sure people would be more than willing to help you out. You could start a discord server and interact with us.

JuanitoEmanuelo

oh thanks for clearing it up, didn't know about this issue . Did they ever said this out in here? . For someone who hasn't done programming before, i can imagine how it can be challenging to put everything together and especially, debugging can be time consuming ., Hope, all goes well.

Anchor22

I'll add it to my list.

PaddyOFurniture

Codecademy https://www.codecademy.com/ has a free basic interactive course for Python 2. You can go through an open part then activate 7 day trial pro account to finish a part with practical tasks.

Evgeny Balo

Well, I just ordered a Dummies book on Python so maybe I'll be able to join that conversation in a while.

PaddyOFurniture

Well python is a relatively simple language plus renpy has some built-in features for visual novels. But they diligently continue to reinvent the wheel and make all sorts of extensive quest systems.

Evgeny Balo

This is an area outside my competence. It's difficult to advise when I don't know what I'm talking about.

PaddyOFurniture

Are you new here? :) There won't be any fixes. They'll just start to work on a new big thing for like 3 months, then several date changes, then "we've cut off everything that hasn't been working". Repeat. This is not a reproach, it just happens that way.

Evgeny Balo

Solution: don't do a complex quests. You don't go against Tyson if you don't know how to box :) I've already advised them to make more content with simple things to get more patrons. Then it would be possible to work on the game full-time and hire necessary specialists. Maybe they will listen to you.

Evgeny Balo

I have no idea how easy getting a programmer is.

PaddyOFurniture

More like in 3 months. Or they'll come up with a new big idea and these cut pieces will come out sometime later in the future :)

Evgeny Balo

You’d think finding a programmer would be straightforward

GoHawks1840

Yep. I'll go with you on this.

PaddyOFurniture

Or the next day.

PaddyOFurniture

I would honestly prefer to wait longer till you've managed to fix everything that you actually hoped to fix.

FCS

Well darn. If you want my read of the situation it goes like this; as you may have noticed Mr Cabbage, their original programmer, hasn't been on the game credits for some time. Mr Beef is doing it now and he is basically an artist who has had to learn programming. I don't know coding myself so I can't say how hard that is. As a result I would suspect that it is the programming that is the holdup rather than the art. Disappointing but, as I've said, I don't know coding so I have no solution for this problem. Meanwhile, I'm going to let the bunny sleep and hope that we get a useable version tomorrow. https://i.gifer.com/HmSn.gif

PaddyOFurniture

So, you guys are basically editing scripts only right? i suppose all required animations and renders are completed. I hope "Missing pieces" doesn't imply that you still have work left in art and animation department.

Anchor22

im thinking march

MunchBudz

Hope is a myth

GoHawks1840

So? Like a week?

GoHawks1840

Lol

Forty9erfan

mr. Beef I'm exhausted. I've cut off everything that hasn't been working for the last few days. Tomorrow I will run my eyes over the script several times and lay out the working part. The missing pieces will appear later. The main hot scene will be tomorrow, or rather today in any case. Good night.

Team Borsch

Seems like it. Who know when they’ll actually put it up.

Forty9erfan

Looks like we’re hoping they’re going off of U.S. time lol.

Agamemnon

If they are from Kaliningrad then it's still 9th

Evgeny Balo

Im losing hope. We might have to wait more

Anchor22

Any word???

GoHawks1840

Could they have a discord? A PicartoTV stream? A progress bar? YES

GoHawks1840

Very nicely put.

PaddyOFurniture

whats devs time zone?

Anchor22

It depends.

Evgeny Balo

It's 8pm there.

GoHawks1840

Depends on if they are going off Russian time of US time.

Forty9erfan

Artists and deadlines rarely make friends.

GoHawks1840

I don't think we're getting the update todat as well at this point.

FCS

"ringer finger crossed over the middle finger"

Anchor22

i was thinking the same think. excited for the update

MunchBudz

Maybe. It comes when it comes. Just trying to not stress. https://img-s1.onedio.com/id-58715a3a592b235d2bd7dd5a/rev-0/w-900/h-598/f-gif/s-626347cf2403394092a4ab63f862e2dc3fc25442.gif

PaddyOFurniture

If they set a specific date it usually means 23:59 of that date :)

Evgeny Balo

Is the update still on track to be released today?

Forty9erfan

Yep. Just hoping the Update Curse doesn't kick in this time. That said, my money is on this; https://static.tumblr.com/9c422f931c6477ee539fc6997dfea448/phjfqgu/mFqnnstcv/tumblr_static_tumblr_static_3byrctlyr12c0wgcg40wcgwwc_focused_v3.gif

PaddyOFurniture

Oh dude I've been checking to see if the update has arrived since morning. Quite the wait isn't it?

FCS

They do seem to be cursed whenever they set deadlines. Hopefully nothing untoward happens. https://scitechdaily.com/images/Asteroid-Strike-Animation.gif

PaddyOFurniture

Hopefully means we get the update

Anchor22

Is it the 9th yet? https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1543802350ra/26679755.gif

PaddyOFurniture

So it's 69 then? Nice.

Evgeny Balo

Yes.

Team Borsch

Disappointed? Alas yes. It's just three more days though. Just keeping positive for 3 more days. https://media.tenor.com/images/0c7b52c2286b356eaadb869b30c36caf/tenor.gif

PaddyOFurniture

So. I'll cut and paste my usual clarification post. Fifth, Fourth, and Third level tiers [planned] release date Feb 9th, Second tier release date Feb 13th and the First tier release date Feb 16th?

PaddyOFurniture

That’s disappointing. We certainly are.

Forty9erfan

mr.Beef 6 turns into 9. Last delay. I know you're tired of waiting. I'm also tired of fighting with my Frankenstein script. What a monster I have spawned... Hmmm... And why we don't have such a creature in the game...

Team Borsch

A Mistress Day release?

GoHawks1840

Nice looking forward to it. The atmosphere in the art looks great.

Anchor22

If the cake isn't ready then the cake isn't ready. Does this go by the usual schedule with Fifth, Fourth, and Third level tiers [planned] release date Feb 6h, Second tier release date Feb 10th and the First tier release date Feb 13th?

PaddyOFurniture

I was really hoping to play it this weekend but I’m hopeful that the update will turn out better with the added time.
