it’s unnecessary to write entire essays as replies. also, as a tiny little friendly criticism on N2, maybe try working on one game for a few chapters before continuing work on the second. this is also what Niichan does with MBiML/Sicae.
then again, i am just some online dumbass with no real experience
I'll say this and then not respond to this anymore. I move back and forth between the two games for reasons beyond everything mentioned here. And it doesn't matter how I do this, it is my choice. Going this route keeps me from getting burn out working on one game (like SO many other devs have done and abandoned their games because of it). I do it to keep my sanity. I do it because I want to. Whatever reason you need to hear, that's why I do it that way.
The only reason everyone waited almost a year for the Last Human release is because I went through major illness, deaths, depression, the full time job bullshit, and enough other bullshit. Though I suppose if some have only recently started following me, you may not have known that.
So, that's the end of this topic and hopefully that answers any more questions. I have no plans to change how I do this. Sure, I may sometimes do more than one update in a row with one of the games. It all just depends on how things are flowing for me in my life. I do what I can, when I can.
First of all, now all you're doing is gaslighting. I'll ask nicely... Please stop. Secondly, I did not lie about anything. Where the hell did that come from? I said:
"The fact that I work on two games has absolutely nothing to do with how long it has taken since my last release."
If you have a problem here, then WHY are you here? The ONLY answer is "to gaslight". I've asked nicely that you not continue. I don't like banning people or deleting messages because I believe people entitled to their opinion. However, each time you post it gets worse. This time you called me a liar for no reason.
If I asked 100 people the question: Would it be quicker to write and release by chapter one story, or work on two different stories at the same time and release them by chapter?, 99 / 100 people would provide the logical answer of one story at a time. Yet here you are being the 1 / 100 providing the answer of two books at the same time, and going even further to say that I'm gaslighting you for pointing out otherwise. It's by this reasoning is why I haven't called you a liar for "no reason."
There's no gaslighting going on. The fact that you believe that working on two games simultaneously doesn't slow down production makes your call of "The fact that I work on two games has absolutely nothing to do with how long it has taken since my last release" a lie.
TomGamerMC is making the same point that I've made. You're not just ignoring the issue raised, you're in denial of it.
I'm not trying to be mean, I just don't believe you're being logical.
Banning and deleting my posts isn't proving me wrong, it's proving that you're unnerved by constructive criticism and logical reasoning.
I am not a liar. You are completely misunderstanding what I am saying. Does it take longer when working on 2 games at once? Of course it does! I'm not an idiot! When I said what I said, I was referring to the overly long delay that happened PURELY from other crap outside of development in my life. THAT delay was not because I work on 2 games. It was because my sister died, I got sick, full time job bullshit... you name it, it happened. I got depressed, I didn't work on the games - hence - LONG DELAY where nothing came out for almost a year. THAT is what I thought you were talking about all this time. I've explained this pretty well in my devlogs and personal logs that I post regularly on multiple sites. And fwiw, I did the next update on the SAME GAME. So even if I was working on one game, that same delay would have happened, unfortunately. In your original comment in this thread, that is what I thought you were referring to - which is why I responded defending myself because I had literally just posted about the reasons and all the bullshit I was dealing with. Before all that, I generally release games every 2 months... Serenity release, then 2 months later, Last Human, then 2 months later... Serenity again. So every 4 months each game should get an update - especially now that I am retired from my full time job and can put 100% of my time into only this.. This should not be something to complain about. I see lots of games out there that take much longer to get updates than mine do, and they are working on ONE game. And some of those devs are actually teams... I am just one person doing everything alone.
I DID SAY I don't like to ban people or delete posts, didn't I? I hardly EVER do that outside of obvious spam or troublemakers. So far you're not making trouble. I just get frustrated when I feel like I have to defend myself. When in reality... I don't. I don't need to reply to people. I don't even need to make devlogs. I could just not talk to anyone except for release time. But I choose to be transparent and try to be nice to people. So yeah, I get frustrated and I say things because I am pissed. I am human.
To be clear... with no major issues coming up, I do releases every 2 months, or very close to it. Last human gets a release, 2 months later Serenity gets a release, 2 months later, Last Human gets another release... and so on. So each get should get an update approx. every 4 months. That is not unreasonable in my opinion. But if it isn't reasonable to you, I don't know what to tell you.
