buddy, you dont even know lol. I followed this game back in 2020 and there still hasn't been a major update for 4 years now

(+4)

game development is kinda hard if you didnt know

(1 edit) (+2)(-5)

yes but a renpy game using koikatsu models for the characters isn't really that hard lol. The hardest part is writing the story.
It takes like a couple of days to get used to renpy engine even if you have no experience writing scripts for it

but you want a good game with a lot of content a good story and top tier animations yes? that takes time, a lot of time. especially when you have to mix game development with your normal life

I hope that, once you see what I've done with Renpy AND Koikatsu in Chapter 1, you will understand! Just for now, please, patience!

Thank you for all the hard work. Please don't get discouraged by people who are impatient.

Buddy, its been almost 4 years since the last major update and he's still getting a shit load of patreon money from this game. I don't think its a matter of impatience anymore

RenPy may be easy to learn, but like any other game engine, hard to master. Rendering the scenes and images in that quality takes a shit ton of time, at least when you want it to look decent. Then story: Ideas, tests, rewriting and all that.  Koikatsu also only gives you the models. Poses, animations, other clothes, all that has to be handmade. I've not seen a koikatsu model coming with animations, tons of poses or many different outfits. Facial expressions, emotions and all that are hard to nail too, so don't act like the all mighty game dev when you actually know nothing more about developing nor programming then what software is used

You've never seen a koikatsu model coming with animations. poses, and facial expressions? Have you even booted up the software before?
Poses and facial expressions aside as i do believe they were manually made using Chara Studio via HF patch, all the animations i've seen from this game already come preinstalled with koikatsu. You can literally boot it up right now and see for yourself. 
And yes, i have used renpy to make a game. I'm currently experimenting with a VN project i have that's all AI ran and uses a dynamic system to progress to other scenes.

Now, i have to clarify one thing. I didn't come here to completely shit on the dev's ability to create a game. I do believe he has a knack for making a proper VN with RenPy. 
All i'm saying is that 4 years for update is a tad bit too long of a wait considering he's still making bank in his patreon. All i've seen so far from his discord is that he frequently uploads update previews for the next major update. I think that deserves even just a slightest bit of criticism.

sure then, good luck with your own game, i didn't want to sound mad or pissed at you for stating your opinion, so i'm sorry if i did. in the end we don't know why there was no major update for a long time but hopefully the next update brings a lot of new content
