Re: Visual Novel [renamed]

People would be happier with an update now of "I haven't made any progress in the VN yet because of X, Y, and Z, I am really sorry." or whatever rather than having no update for some number more months to finally get an update of "Hey look, I finally got this significant step done!" I did do exactl...

Re: Visual Novel [renamed]

1) I've gotten a bit of a feel for Fred's personality I think, and he reminds me of a friend of mine in some areas, and myself in others. If I'm right, then the more negative pressure you apply, the less results you are going to get. It's not even an entirely conscious choice, the more negativity i...

Re: Visual Novel [renamed]

It was an entirely valid move since it was the only way to get a moderator to respond. The last response from a moderator or admin was in June and there have been questions that have been ignored since then. It's been 14 months since the last update. I have been answering the questions that I can a...

Re: Visual Novel [renamed]

@walkingeagle I'm sorry the VN has gone so poorly, and you have every right to be upset. Fred did provide an update as part of his rant a few months ago, which you can find here: https://megatokyo.com/strip/1526#rant1099 Deliberately posting this thread to the wrong section of the forum and with a ...

Re: What Happened to the Money?

The last official update was July of last year. There have been some forum posts and comments (even a tiny glimpse of what happened to the money), but that's it.

Re: So, will it be ever delivered?

Most of what I've been wanting is a viable strategy to complete the game. It looks like that is incoming. I would also like to see a comprehensive breakdown of costs from Fred, but that's more other peoples' deal than mine.

Totally reporting him too. May be reaching out to CBR and/or Bleeding Cool in hopes of them running a story on this mess.
I've seen writeups on bad kickstarters occasionally from different places, but I'm not sure where the best place to go to would be or even how you'd ask. Thoughts?

Note: I'm not a backer of this project. I tried searching the new and the archived forum by the keywords recruit AND developer. I could not find threads. How about recruiting new developer(s) for the project? From what I understand by reading the forums and kickstarter, the major pain points are Fr...

Re: Haven't received VN after supporting, what to do?

I doubt anyone will be getting anything. Lots of empty promises. So many other webcomic people, and people that do monthly comic do 80 times the work that Fred does without falling behind and offering up empty excuses. Ok, granted I don't know how long you may have been lurking anonymously before r...

Folks, he's doing what he can. He has the comic moving well, and much of the rest of his time right now is being spent on fixing the store backlog. Unfortunately, that's taking longer than he had expected. But once that's done, he expects to have more time to spend on the vn again. If you look at h...

PAARFI. NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE SLOW ANIMATION PART OF THIS. NO ONE CARES ABOUT WHETHER DIALOGUE IS IN SPEECH BUBBLES. NO ONE. It's a stupid tangent that has thrown the project completely off the rails of what it was supposed to be. This was supposed to be a visual novel. 1. At this point since he wa...

Paarfi, the last official update was in July of last year.

There hasn't been an official update on what went wrong or a cost breakdown on where the money...

Re: So, will it be ever delivered?

They could have switched strategies awhile ago (or they still could today!) and release the game as an actual visual novel instead of an animation, but Fred won't do that. So...basically he's intentionally not going to release the game in favor of something that will happen ~*~*~*~in the future~*~*~...

Re: The Visual Novel

At this point my hopes for the VN are basically nil. I would LOVE to be proven wrong, of course. My biggest concern atm is either getting a FULL refund, or having my physical rewards shipped out as close to immediately as possible. I'm sick and tired of waiting. I'm done with wondering. Do one or t...

Re: The Visual Novel

Does this timeline still look like a 'deliberate overpromise occured' to you ? Yes because it clearly indicates there was health problems before the kickstarter ever started. After nearly five years they are not even close to completing the base game of two characters 4 - 6 hours each per character...

I have to wonder what Paarfi meant exactly when he said that and why he felt the plug should be pulled vs. trying a different approach. Ok, it's a fair question. Fred has said that he's looking at making changes to the current approach by simplifying the artwork resources needed. Let me describe a ...

For the MT VN, even though I don't agree with the conclusion (I like Fred's decision better) I think paarfi's personal opinion from earlier bears repeating, as it seems to cover a number of related issues: " I manage a software team in real life, and if this were my project and my business, I'd hav...

The initial schedule and scope always seemed too aggressive.
