Oh lookie. Stencilbits lost another one of his butt plugs. Here to tell us all about how he's hard at work on this game non stop and how it's still coming soon next month and to keep waiting on it despite the fact it's been languishing as 'mostly ready' for the past 4 years.
So has stencilbits officially and finally went blind yet? I haven't bothered to read the last few months worth of garbage on his Patreon. I'd like to preserve brain cells if possible.
He is still posting about it, but if the past is any indication it'll be a 4+ year long journey he continues to post about all while petending to be working on this game.
I don’t really understand the situation on what’s happening with the dev, but it seems like that the dev is being hated a lot based on the comments I have come across, and I have just played this game not long ago, though it seems like that the game haven’t updated in more than a years now, despite that I would like to say that the fact this game is free for people to play , I can see that the dev really puts in hard work in the dialogue, for a visual novel, I think the dev should be more appreciated, and consider that the game aren’t paid to get nor with paid content, the game should at least deserves a better praise .
I didn’t get all the endings right now but I think I would like to try more in the game
I wouldn’t say the game is quite the best or underrated, I mean visual novel don’t really attract many people, but it’s good on its own, and I do hope the dev will continue updating this game.
Man I just posted my opinion as a guy who just found a game not long ago, I don't know nothing about the updating process of the dev, I just think that, the game is good on it's own
Since you dont know, we all hate the creator bc while yes you can play for free, you can also give them money and support on the patreon where they promised new content and havent given ANY in 4 years. In that 4 year span the creator keeps giving excuses as to why there isnt any progress even though people are paying them to provide the content. I feel sad for anyone who gave them money thinking that it would help speed the process up and help a good game to be created. So you can wait all you like, there is almost definitely not gonna be an update to this game, unless if maybe everyone stops giving patreon money and they realize they need to work to get something.
Or dumb and dumber. And speaking of dumb and dumber, they haven't showed up yet to drool and fawn over Stupidbits latest dump of a post after being promised and hyped up for it all month, or any number of months for the last 48 months. 😁
Hopefully nobody bothers to read him all the dumb garbage he's been posting every month into those hearing aids. I don't think even hearing aids are designed to withstand the frequency of reverberating horse manure.
This just sits him up for another year long charade of excuses as each month we'll be up to date on the varying levels of blindness as he goes through varying levels of blindness, and then what glasses he wears and what kind of dog he gets, or what kind of cane he gets, and then whatever other health problem he gets once he's exhausted those excuses.
And when his new blind eye seeing dog eats his computer again, maybe he will stick his cane up his ass and get on Patreon to tell the world about his experience.
This is another update post, a bit late as always, but finally here nonetheless. Another deadline missed, so at this point I feel I should share some news that I have mostly kept under wraps until now, although I'm sure some people might have already made some guesses. I'm a pretty private person, so sharing things from my own personal life always feels a bit clumsy. I tried to delay writing this post as long as possible, hoping that things would settle on their own at the last minute, but of course that didn't happen. So, straight to the point. I have been struggling with my eyesight for a while now. At first, I just chalked it up as normal eye strain as I mostly work with computers all day. Some eye exercises every now and then with some rest during weekends usually helped. Until they didn't. After some eye pain episodes at work, my doctor diagnosed some kind of ocular hypertension. Nothing too serious yet, eye drops, rest and limiting screen time seemed to help. Still, writing or reading anything longer than a few paragraphs was difficult for a while, unless I maxed out the font size. The more severe issues started last spring and I have tried to keep this secret until now. Even back then, Offcuts 0.4 was mostly ready, just missing some finishing touches, so I thought a delay of a few months probably wouldn't hurt much. Rinse and repeat a few times after that as the situation didn't improve much. Things started to look better again a few months ago and I was finally planning to actually release Offcuts 0.4, until another eye pain episode last November sent me to a specialist eye doctor, who suspected glaucoma. Glaucoma can be a pretty severe eye disease that can eventually make you blind if left untreated. Needless to say, the potential diagnosis was and is a shock to me, especially as I'm not even that old yet. Fortunately, the diagnosis is not certain yet and it can often take a long time (even years) to confirm as it's not a cut-and-dry diagnosis. There is still a good chance this is something else and much more harmless. Meanwhile, there are also some good treatment and preventive care options available, some of which I'm already using. This has been another messy and stressful year for me, trying to juggle my job and hobbies while trying to manage this health issue. Still, finally writing this post and putting things out in the open feels like a big relief. Repeatedly trying to guess and miss any deadlines and other predictions felt awful and I don't blame anyone who has felt frustrated, but at least now you know the reason. So, what about Offcuts 0.4? Fortunately, it has been mostly ready for a long time now, I just haven't managed to write (or read) much since last spring. I have wanted to give the script a final proofreading pass for a while now, but reading a script of over 50k words in my current state is pretty rough. Still, even in the worst case I can eventually wrangle 0.4 together somehow, eyes closed if needed. However, I currently try to prioritize my day job as I'm worried about how my condition might affect my work in the future in case the worst scenario happens. I have no plans of giving up yet, but the next few months and doctor visits will be important to see where I'm heading (pun intended, I guess). Still, I have no plans to stop doing this little hobby unless I absolutely have to. I'm optimistic and I'll try to use my winter vacation to recover as much as possible, so expect a next Patreon post at some point in January. I'll see you in the next update. (Pun intended again, funny how many of our language idioms have something to do with sight.) Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone despite the bad news! And as always, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then).
Actually, bashing people with nail bats is a healthy attitude. 👎 I have become selective in pursuit of things that make life easier and less stressful. Soooo, waking up beats not anyday. I have nothing to support in this Stencilbits dev who continually yields nothing of value. Suppose waking up in a padded room to another meaningless Stencilbits post might make me want to bash people with nail bats also.
I know everyone is mad at you right now for not updating the game but can you pleased do it I love this game and I want to see the other girls love routes
I guess Stencilbits hasn't gotten motivated enough to clamber up and roll off the couch over to his desktop and update the masses on all things Stencilbits. He promised us an update on the 17th, and he'd never lie. 😂
Actually curious as to what his lame excuse is going to be this time. I've got a few brain cells to spare.

Yes, because we should always appreciate a dev who does nothing but make excuses for years and years.
You literally just joined yesterday to post that leg humping rabble. Go be a shill somewhere else.
Man I just posted my opinion as a guy who just found a game not long ago, I don't know nothing about the updating process of the dev, I just think that, the game is good on it's own
And while the game being free, us player can do nothing better than wait

That sound very reasonable, thanks for your detailed explanation
It's cute you think people should support this garbage dev who last touched this game in 2019.
More like Charlie Brown than Ray Charles.
Or dumb and dumber. And speaking of dumb and dumber, they haven't showed up yet to drool and fawn over Stupidbits latest dump of a post after being promised and hyped up for it all month, or any number of months for the last 48 months. 😁
Dude will be going deaf next, and spend another year talking about his hearing aid and all the problems he had with it.
Hopefully nobody bothers to read him all the dumb garbage he's been posting every month into those hearing aids. I don't think even hearing aids are designed to withstand the frequency of reverberating horse manure.
Guess all those years of posting retina cancer month after month finally caught up with this guy.
I would normally inclined to show sympathy, but my response after reading his latest cool story is...
OK 👌
This just sits him up for another year long charade of excuses as each month we'll be up to date on the varying levels of blindness as he goes through varying levels of blindness, and then what glasses he wears and what kind of dog he gets, or what kind of cane he gets, and then whatever other health problem he gets once he's exhausted those excuses.

Stencilbits latest diagnosis... Conjunctive Retarditis.
Prognosis... Continuation of last years BS.
Surprise, surprise, surprise!
Another bullshit ass excuse. Stencilbits lied again and there never was going to be an update! 😁😁😁
Get a load of this Ray Charles shit.
Monthly update Ray Charles edition.

How odd for somebody who was not even able to read a paragraph to be able to come up with and type out this clown shoe post.
I SEE what you did there!

Wow! This page and game still a thing?
Not really. More of a years long running joke.
Totally hyped up for that promised November release, here going into December.
Fuck you, Stencilbits lovers. All you dumbass Stencilbit cucks should be hung by the balls and beat with a bat.
Nobody here is a Stencilbit lover.
If anything, people only come here to gloat at this worthless dev.
I agree, and I recommend the use of rusty nails stuck to the bat.
I know everyone is mad at you right now for not updating the game but can you pleased do it I love this game and I want to see the other girls love routes
As if Stencilbits cares. Just sign up for the Patreon and stick around for 4 years. Maybe you'll get a meaningful update out of it.
The last update was around 2018, I think it's safe to say nobody gives a shit about it anymore.
Man...
Dead page.
I guess Stencilbits hasn't gotten motivated enough to clamber up and roll off the couch over to his desktop and update the masses on all things Stencilbits. He promised us an update on the 17th, and he'd never lie. 😂
