Development Blog #98
Added 2022-01-10 14:51:54 +0000 UTCHi, everyone.
I hope the new year is treating you well. Looking at the news it doesn't really seem like the world has gotten the news that it's 2022 and it's supposed to be better. But I'm sure that's just a little lag and the better will start happening any day now :)
Work is going well. I still have one branch on the last scene that irks me and doesn't feel good. But I'm pushing on and if I don't come up with something that I love, I'll just leave it as it is. I lost way too much time on it. There's still some rendering to do before the update is ready, but we're getting there.
Stay safe, and thanks for the support.

2022-01-28 20:41:21 +0000 UTCI'm fully focused on the work. I'll find time to make a post tomorrow.

Diovane
2022-01-28 11:03:22 +0000 UTCOf course it was me … i will not retract a word … you have some problems my friend … and I can not help you unfortunately
Robert
2022-01-24 19:10:19 +0000 UTCWas that you Robert? I'm pretty sure that's you
PixelFlynt
2022-01-24 18:36:31 +0000 UTCyou enjoy to get some cash without delivering something in return is not fair in most of your patrons opinion … if you are so fair like you pretend make the game free of charge just for passion …
PixelFlynt
2022-01-24 18:36:06 +0000 UTCPixelFlynt I did not said that …. The main idea is that the supporting patreons deserve a little more respect … that’s it … who gives you the right to bring injuries on this forum ?
Robert
2022-01-24 16:39:11 +0000 UTCYou literally said Stoper should give his game away for free because you're mad about the delay. You accused him of stealing money. Tell me where I got this wrong?
PixelFlynt
2022-01-24 15:54:45 +0000 UTCSeems that I am not the only one who has an opinion … good luck Stoper and god speed in finishing your update … no hard feelings
Robert
2022-01-24 13:39:55 +0000 UTCYou shouldn't stop. If you have something to say I want to hear it, whether it's a positive or negative. And the scenes are not written. I build them as I work on them. I have a rough framework in place, but I make the small details as I work on each scene. It may not be the best way to work on a story, but it's how I do it. As you see I'm constantly here answering to people's questions. I don't know where you see this silence.
stoperArt
2022-01-24 10:46:53 +0000 UTCYou don't need to apologize, rather you should bash that pixelflynt guy for calling you nonsense like grifter and freeloader when you are clearly a supporter that supports the development. Oversmart people like him are unable to understand how there are quite alot of people here who don't speak english as the first language due to which a message can sound far more rude than intended due to the frustration of supporting something for so long with no results.

2022-01-24 10:09:44 +0000 UTCOk. I am going to stop with my remarks on this forum. It is clearly that I disturbed. PixelFlynt the freedom of expression is for anybody. I consider JOHN one of the best 2 games out there. I paid my fees to Stoper so I do not ask art for free. I was just thinking that the scenario is already written and this creativity blocks should not appear at this stage of the game. Anyway you and Stoper got it all wrong … I was just saying that a clear game schedule should be available and somehow respect it … this silence is not good for anybody
Robert
2022-01-24 09:32:53 +0000 UTCHe's frustrated by the slow development. I understand him, I'm frustrated too. And because he doesn't know how much efforts it takes to make the game, he thinks I'm just slacking off. But there's nothing I can say that would change his mind, he'll just think I'm lying.
stoperArt
2022-01-24 07:26:58 +0000 UTCThe pleasure is in the journey itself! I don't care how much time is between the updates. I like Stoper work, JOHN is the best game! And yes, I am impatient too, because update is coming, but it is what it is.
Jozef
2022-01-24 07:21:01 +0000 UTCYou come on this page and compare stoper to another creator whose time between updates is just as long if not longer, then make demands that you get something for nothing. That doesn't work anywhere in the world. Tell him to work for passion. Screw you. You have no clue how much work goes into art. Especially art that is as involved as a Renpy project. If you had a clue you wouldn't make such stupid demands
PixelFlynt
2022-01-24 06:19:25 +0000 UTCNo one owes you the sweat off their brow free of charge Robert. Stop making demands of creators when you create nothing of import or interest yourself. You are whining about a product you pay literal pennies for. You sound like a grifter just trying to get something for free. Also, don't presume to speak for his other Patrons, especially a majority . You're a vocal minority on this page. Obviously, there's only a few of you whining.
PixelFlynt
2022-01-24 06:17:02 +0000 UTCat the end of everything you are right
Sergio Pool
2022-01-24 02:46:10 +0000 UTCYou did not claim anything Stoper but seems you enjoy to get some cash without delivering something in return is not fair in most of your patrons opinion … if you are so fair like you pretend make the game free of charge just for passion … everybody thinks that you are creating a great visual novel but eveybody start to think why you don’t deliver anymore … and the only answer is that you are ok with the cash that you get on monthly basis without doing nothing therefore why to speed up or to work ? This is it what people think … so your response should be a clear schedule to respond to your patrons expectations … i do not care about the money … i could easily pay u the most expensive tier but you are actind weird lately with all this secrecy … seems like the money are your only trigger … therefore proove that I am wrong

stoperArt
2022-01-23 06:51:55 +0000 UTCHey buddy. That's uncalled for. You wouldn't talk to someone that way face to face so don't do it on here.
PixelFlynt
2022-01-23 06:39:07 +0000 UTCBoa observação. Eu já não aguento mais esperar 😂
Diovane
2022-01-23 05:06:46 +0000 UTCmaybe it would be better to make more of a plan and try to stick to it? this is really becoming a bigger and bigger problem and at some point ppl are gonna loose the little patience they have left. just trying to help m8, i really want you to succeed with this game, but you are loosing trust from your supporters every update now and you gotta take action before its too late. i really do belive you cant continue like this.
Peter Pan
2022-01-22 23:27:51 +0000 UTCLet’s cut the bulshit Stoper … we are suporting you … you are not obliged to perform … but is a matter of respect … you are creting a form of art but you are not Michelangelo ….
Robert
2022-01-22 23:00:06 +0000 UTCThe slow update cycle was due to a creative block I had for a couple of months, not because I was working on a big update or something.
stoperArt
2022-01-22 21:15:30 +0000 UTCwtf half year = half day？

2022-01-22 21:12:05 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure I mentioned it before, just the rest of the Saturday.

Jozef
2022-01-22 14:46:21 +0000 UTCWhat is the length of the update … share some info bro’ :) … in game days please :)))
Robert
2022-01-19 22:48:21 +0000 UTCJust really looking forward to the next update.
John Buesse
2022-01-19 18:01:07 +0000 UTCWork's been going pretty well this month. I'm making more images than I have planned, but that's become the norm for me, but I'm trying my best to finish it this month, even if it's in a BETA state.
stoperArt
2022-01-19 17:47:59 +0000 UTCWill we see the JOHN update before the end of January?
John Buesse
2022-01-19 17:41:37 +0000 UTCDoing my best.

PixelFlynt
2022-01-17 17:09:58 +0000 UTCI agree, that they're the best games out there in this genre. I've testet other games out there as well, but noone so far comes really close to AWAM and JOHN. But, now I'm also excited about what Dashole can come up with in his game. He has some sort of cooperation with StoperArt that can really be beneficial for his own game development. In my opinion spledid pictures isn't enough if the story is bad and has too little depths. I like games with different choices too that can lead you in different directions. AWAM and JOHN has everything that I search for in such a game.
Eksekiel
2022-01-16 11:02:20 +0000 UTCGive up at the end of the month without an update
yufeihong
2022-01-15 21:32:07 +0000 UTCAWAM is the best game … JOHN comes second in my preferences
Robert
2022-01-15 21:23:11 +0000 UTCNot yet.

Diovane
2022-01-14 23:59:49 +0000 UTCDo you have a release date for the update?
Alex
2022-01-14 18:42:42 +0000 UTCOk, im sorry. You never said big. I fix it to You saying update is coming soon from last summer. Is it okey?

gekyume
2022-01-14 03:51:08 +0000 UTCGood point. :-)
Eksekiel
2022-01-13 16:03:30 +0000 UTCNo, she'll be just a side character. At one point I was considering adding other POVs, but the porgress of the story is already disastrously slow, adding more side content will be bad.
stoperArt
2022-01-13 07:58:04 +0000 UTCStoperArt: so with Gabriela it takes the story in a different direction? Will she meet Jess or will she have her own story, within the main story with Jessica?
Eksekiel
2022-01-13 05:17:14 +0000 UTCA new face in the story is no harm. It just develop it :)
Eksekiel
2022-01-13 05:13:30 +0000 UTCNot me either. :)

2022-01-13 05:11:21 +0000 UTCHah :)
stoperArt
2022-01-11 19:01:26 +0000 UTCAnsioso por la continuación del juego. Ardo en deseos de ver a Jessica en acción. Ojala este nuevo día le deparé aventuras bien traviesas, y... que no aparezca mucho Connor jajaja. La envidia me corroe.
Dantes
2022-01-11 18:18:07 +0000 UTCCan't wait for the update! Glad you're making sure the quality is up to par. I look forward to seeing the multiple branches! As for Gabriela coming into JOHN, I say bring it on!!
MotiMan
2022-01-11 16:12:18 +0000 UTCin the meantime, given the old-fashioned aspect of the carpet and the very disgusting mattress, I can't wait to discover the character ...
al el burro
2022-01-11 14:18:39 +0000 UTCI like how the model ended up looking, so it would be a shame not to use it :)
stoperArt
2022-01-11 12:56:04 +0000 UTCNo, she won't be. I already have two characters that are related to Jess and people want to see them in intimate scenes with her, I won't add another one :)
stoperArt
2022-01-11 12:55:12 +0000 UTClove the fact that u say "yet" since it means she will become a char in the future
yeled
2022-01-11 12:19:51 +0000 UTCIs she related to Jessica?
Asbadon
2022-01-11 12:11:44 +0000 UTCYes, Gabriela. She's a model I made for a few book covers, but I'm using her for other content as well. And she'll likely show up in the game as well.
stoperArt
2022-01-11 10:59:56 +0000 UTCI love this Milf 😍By the way, is this not the same milf as from the young trio Bonus? 👍
Asbadon
2022-01-11 10:37:42 +0000 UTCNo, end of the month.
stoperArt
2022-01-11 10:20:01 +0000 UTCI've never said there is a "big update" coming. All my updates have more or less the same amount of content.
stoperArt
2022-01-11 10:19:34 +0000 UTCLmao. You saying "big update is coming soon" from last summer.

2022-01-11 03:02:20 +0000 UTCNo, that's not Jess. It's another character that's not in the game (yet).

2022-01-10 22:42:59 +0000 UTCI can make a mod file that adds color, if you want. Just remind me near the end of the month.
stoperArt
2022-01-10 21:44:13 +0000 UTCDoesn't bother me, seems rather intuitive.
John Buesse
2022-01-10 21:28:48 +0000 UTCheuuu !! in effect.... I have the French version, and the letters are slightly inclined so in italics. It's not obvious but it's fair you should ask other readers, maybe it's me who needs to renew my glasses ... Thank you for your reply
al el burro
2022-01-10 19:46:07 +0000 UTCWhen the line is a thought from Jessica the text uses an italic font. Or you're saying that it is not enough, and you prefer to have a different color as well?
stoperArt
2022-01-10 19:13:03 +0000 UTChello and well done !! i love your job I allow myself a small request: would it be possible to color the thoughts of jessica. If in most cases the understanding is obvious, sometimes I have a moment's hesitation: she dared to say it or it is only a thought ?? well it's not really important ... continue your work I love!!!!!!
