Hi guys!
First of all, I'm sorry that there hasn't been anything from me for quite a long time since the last post.
I am still working on month 1 and unfortunately many unwanted obstacles were put in my way by former employees.
Last time I announced that if month 1 was not finished by date X, I would simply publish the next update.
However, I would have t...

Hi guys!
Ecchi Sensei is celebrating its birthday and I thought this would be the perfect time to write a little report to keep you up to date.
Since I took the helm myself for Month 1, there will hopefully be a playtester version by the end ...

Hello humans!
Good news!
After a "small" delay, it finally goes on again with Ecchi Sensei!
Not as hoped with Month 1, but with the following update. Day 22+23!
I don't want to cry your ears off about how crappy everything went lately and how frustrating it was not to be able to provide you with regular updates, but ...

Hello folks,
It's been a while since the last status update and I wish I finally had something positive to announce. However, I would like to get back to you and inform you about the current situation.
As you know, I started looking for translators intensively last year in order to realise plan B, which looked like this:

Hi Guys!
It's Christmas! But first things first, the presents will have to wait a little while longer. :(
Those of you who are on my Discord server have seen a lot of automatic messages from the "Tomoewewe" bot in the #gitlab-notification channel in the past couple of days. Every time su...

Hi guys!
Some time has passed since the last status update. This is partly because there was nothing new to report, and partly because I waited for this moment to have a bit more to write about.
The following items are on the agenda:
1.) Halloween Special
2.) Status of Month 1
3.) L...

Hi guys!
I'll get straight to the point. We have good news and bad news for you!
At the last team meeting, I once again threw the all-important question into the room - how long would it take, given the current state of affairs, before we could publish Month 1 — and the bad news was that it would probably take until sometime in the year 2022.
Of course, I was...

Hi Guys!
It's time again for a new state of the Nation status report.
Those of you with access to #gitlab-notification in Discord might have seen that new revisions have recently been made to the calendar and the Ecchi Phone 2.0 (or is it 3.0 by now?).
We are also working on the translation files for the Charinfo and its functionality as a whole.

Hi Guys!
It's time again to bring you up to date, and therefore, there is again a status update on the current events.
First of all, I don't intend to give anyone false hopes - I still cannot, in good conscience, announce a date for the release of Month 1 - BUT... We are closing in to the finish line, and the entire Ecchi Sensei team is optimistic that it could...

Hello folks! It's that time again!
Time for a new status report and something has changed positively. As you should all know by now, one of my team members suffers from serious health problems and began a treatment as an inpatient a few weeks ago. It seems that the first improvements were now apparent, and he was able to work a little more than before.

My dear patient supporters.
First of all, I apologize for the long o'holding silence. With the discontinuation of the weekly status reports, we were certain at the time that Month 1 would be released shortly afterwards, but as time has taught us, unfortunately this was not the case.
From a technical point of view there wasn't any setbacks, but in terms of personnel. The state o...
2021-02-14 20:43:10 +0000 UTC View PostHello guys!
With a lot of sorrow we have to announce that we didn't manage to achieve our goal of releasing Month 1 this year. A few members of the team are struggling with severe health problems, causing delays everywhere.
2020 is all about the stupid corona crisis and we can only hope that things will get better.
I hope you will be understanding. I can't force my sick employees to work (at least not yet... *evil mad scientist laugh*).
Hello!
The work on Month 1 has dragged on extremely, which bothers you as well as the team working on the project because we are no big fans of merging the individual game updates since the Week 1 merge.
As we continue with all our focus to complete Month 1 as soon as possible, is this probably going to be our last weekly status report for Month 1.
But before you lapse into a joyful...

As foretold in last week's report, this week I wanted to tell you more about the planned closing report for this year. These will be the last words that we, the Ecchi Sensei team, will publish for you this year, and these words are going to be about our plans for 2021 as well. The upcoming short-term goals, the status of the s...

If you have been following the status reports, you know that I've spent this week working on the German rewriting of Halloween 2018 and Day 5. I got done with that and Latecomer was now able to use the reworked scripts to retrofit them to the new standards.
Our code and writing have kept on improving ever since Day 1. The changes that we had to implement retroactively a...

Heyho,
like I reported last week, thanks to a data leak caused by the CIA and the FBI and, of course, the DEA as well, I'm currently busy and forced to rewrite a few old scripts in German again.
Day 4 as well as the first Past Time episode are done. Now what's missing are Day 5 and the Halloween Special from 2018, and that's what I'm currently working on.
In the meantime,...

Hello, guys!
We hoped you had a good time with the Halloween special. Finally you got to play new content and you got to experience a few new features which are part of Month 1 in action.
At the moment we're continuing our work on Month 1. It is a shitty job and we all would prefer to leap ahead with new updates, but everyone in the team pulls through and does their best.

Since many of you seem to be worried that Month 1 of Ecchi Sensei won't be released this year: Don't worry. We will do everything in our power so that the Alpha, Beta, and Final versions of the megamerge of all previous updates will be available for the supporters before this year ends.

This week we've done lots of work on the code again! A highlight of this week has been the "define" file which is responsible for defining almost everything in the game, be it names, sound effects, music files, etc.
Especially for the names we've used new code that makes it easier for us to maintain existing entries and add new entries in the future. On t...

Because most of what we're doing now is coding and testing, I can hardly share exciting things with you.
The background work that most players never notice is essential, but unfortunately it's neither easy to explain nor easy to visualize. I only understand the code that my team is producing partially, but I'm just a cat anyway :nya:
