The future wait for you guys, the new project, best progression of the last month : <a href="https://www.patreon.com/pornempire">https://www.patreon.com/pornempire</a> !!!! Try it, and share to others, Simbro is behind us now! Time to open our eyes to a New World.
COCKBLOCKED!!!!!!
A girl with high strenght should be able to defend herself and have a secured area without a male. Girls Power!!!
Lol just as i expected
Ooops I did it again...
Hahaha another 5 days delay xD
I'm cancelling my sub, this is a joke. $11,000 a month and you cant hire someone that knows what they're actually doing. embarrassing.
another 5 days are you fucking kidding?
I wish there was more story for Julia and Alice coming...
6 hours 50 mins before another countdown.. and hope that wont ever happen
Like this if you think it will be delayed again...
Another prediction of mine come true, I should open a clairvoyant patreon page... :-)
0 то достигнет, а вот будут ли обновления это другой вопрос
pls let the countdown reach 0 today ...
Truthfully, I wouldn't be surprised if they prolonged the countdown again today.
its my birthday today so plz dont change the countdown
Simbro it's this guys birthday, please change the countdown. :-)
I understand that this game will be slow to make it better but you need to make an open communication and weekly post to keep in touch in your patreons thats will be a good way of you want this game better
All love this is just constructive criticism I'm not upset lmao
Listen I know you're working hard and deadlines are a bitch I am a freshman at college and HATE my homework . However if you're going to up a date for the new release please try to put it out by then this has happened more than once.
Love~
Lol games is amazing but that bugs is weird and even in normal game somethimes happened that character just dissapeared...weird
There so many bug need to be fix x.x fighting frozen bug this bug happen in the 2.0 all the way to 2.4 :( also the one with Alice blind ford that is new from 2.4 need to fix that as well. the mostly got me angry is the fighting frozen in mid battle, this is why i dont use grabs anymore
The battle even froze when I did a power attack as Elda (Player base character) x. x"
If this next update doesn't blow me away, I'm dropping my patronage. I already went down in amount before because of this sort of thing. As people have pointed out, with the amount of money you guys make, you can afford to make this a full time job, but you clearly don't put in the hours. You also keep adding random broken crap that nobody asked for instead of focusing on the main story first, then adding side things later. I'd honestly be more inclined to keep paying if the main story was done and you guys were just adding polish now, but this project has been going on for what, over a year now? And still we can't even pay off the debt? The first issue ever raised in the game?
No apology or anything? Just casually "adding a few days to the countdown". You guys are really giving us every reason to be very displeased (a kinder way to phrase "mad as hell") and remove donations. I've been supporting you for a very long time but I think this is it. Assholes. kind regards
:')
SERIOUSLY?!
So.... You didn't inform us of the issue until the last minute...again. You didn't listen to us and grow in the stuff you've already created...again. You created a countdown clock before having the game ready...again So, are we just to assume the whole apology thing was bullshit then? Good to know...
I bet after this 3 days delay.. there will be another delay, maybe a month? With excuses of course
It would not surprise anyone I think.
oh my god! i can t wait!
I'm just about to drop my sub on this game. "Sub", not "Support". "Sub". I've been a sub for a while now, and this really isn't going to change direction any time soon. I don't want to hear stuff like "Drawing that car hit the idea of making moving brothel option, like a thug driver and a backseat whore. We are going to do it in the future." And then have delay after delay after delay. I'd like to see this game come full circle and have an ending for it's current, "main story". (with all the detours it's honestly hard to tell what you guys want to make out of this game anymore.) The last few updates have been extremely lackluster imo. It's not that I care so much about "the story" at all really. It's the whole principle behind it. I don't think it's OK to milk people for their money, by stretching things out endlessly. Maybe you are afraid to give the game a proper ending because of money, and I can understand that. But I wouldn't have minded all these extra little tidbits of updates, and would actually viewed all of this in a much more positive light if it was a finished product in the first place, and everything else came as "DLC" or "Expansion packs" after the fact. Right now you are running this show on a AAA MMO-style business plan. Sub for content. And that shit just will not hold up for a flash game like this over time is my belief. I believe that in the end it's gonna leave a lot of people feeling let down and bitter about the fact that they have supported a project that just won't ever call itself "finished".
While I do understand the points you are making in your post, I would like to ask: by ending do you mean a game over screen or something similar? Since the way I see it is that from the very beginning of the game your goal was to fuck Alice and at this point you are able to after you save her. That sounds like an ending to me, in my opinion at least.
Do you prefer to play with bugs before playing without bugs days later? I personally do not care if the update takes 15 days as long as I enjoy the game (personally the bug bugs bother me) clearly many will have this opinion (and many others an opposite) I do not consider that my money is in bad hands while maintaining the quality (The elements that I like, is not necessarily just an image or function), I would even like to dedicate a whole month to solve bugs without adding anything to the game (missions, events or characters)
The problem is that even after thous 15 days the update still has huge bugs and since the start of this uear tjey don't rly seam to put tu much efort in to the game dispaint the big income/month, and it is big trust me i am supp more dev that put out waaay more interest into there game, take for example pink tea: he is a one man army putong put 2 updates /month and there are times when 1 update has more content(quantity and quality) than what the entire sim bro team puts out (now at a rate of almoust 2 months) not to mention that his bugs are fixed in a matter of hours not weeks >_< So ye a lot of people noticed that lack of interest so they puled out there supp thats why sim bro LOST 32% of there income for the past 4 months
This is why I dislike the Patreon model -- no oversight or accountability. I like the product your team is producing, but I feel the money you are receiving is not spent properly. Your team is getting over $100,000 a year (more than 7 minimum wage employees or 2 mean US salaries). But does this project receive the appropriate time and effort per week? Is SimBro getting 80+ hours per week of work put into it? Every week? In the "real business world" you don't get to shrug off deadlines every month. You don't get to stonewall your financiers. You must show the appropriate work, effort and results to keep your job. I don't want this project to die. I appreciate the work your team does. I just don't want to feel like my money (and all the donations of all the other patreons) is just lining your pockets while you give us minimal effort in return.
Exactly, it pays to be professional and of course their decline in revenue is apparent of that. Nevetheless we see a 'devil may care' approach at present. I think that is a problem with the creative minded, the majority have that "it's art man, you can't like...rush art man, it comes from the heart and soul man" hippie sort of "my art is everything, I'm not going to let the man put me in a suit with deadlines man" vibe. Unfortunately it hits them hard when they realise that those soulful melodies that make them think of the sweet smell of Arabica coffee in a parisian cafe are really an intellectual property product to the record label, or that behaving like an unprofessional hoodlum is fine...IF that is the image of the product. Then the ultimate incomprehensible thing that many trip over is the idea that not just their baby (the project) but they themselves are the product and as such NEED the suited respectable image or at least to be such when it comes to the actual product. Personally I'm a joker, I love to crack jokes and if I lose a friend in the process of a joke I'm all for cracking another one, many people who were here in the beginning can say that is true. I still do crack jokes occasionally but I tone them down and adopt a calm, professional demenour when it comes to the work. I have to because you have to adapt to the situation at hand and have the burden of responsibility. The ultimate realisation is that essentially patreon is a pitch, you are pitching a product, end of. The fact that you believe the art is precious and a baby needing love IS wonderful and is definately good to see, but from the point of view of an investor the importance is the ROI, the return on investment, but also the person themselves. An investor or patreon donator also needs to know what type of person they are handing money to, if they are the kind to blow $100 of investor money on a stripper or the kind like myself who either buys more books on coding or animating or invests it with a moneylending company for a decent return in investment rate. The ultimate issue I think is the clash of ideology you have here, making money is fine and the business world has it's own ethic, making art that is beautiful is fine and artistic people have their own ethic but the combination of the two can often have disastrous results, if the person themselves aren't ready in their personal development for it. I think they are the artsy creative type, so am I. But I am not sure if they were ready for the work hard everyday, keep re-investing in the 5 P's (Product, Price, Place, Promotion and People, sorry I did business studies at school and also had my own real life printing partnership at 25) and be available to you investors kind of businesslike ethic. Anyway sorry for the essay. :-)
Ha
What they do not realise is that this sort of behaviour reflects badly on other creators too, having been a patron of breeding season from the beginning, as well as Urban Life by Wootch and Resident Evil: Progeny all of which flopped it is not good that SIMBRO is going the same way. It makes people think all creators are like that, and some of us aren't. I released my version 0.4. a day early on the 4th August, within the hour my patrons identified 5 bugs, I posted the bugs and edited in the times I did them, I then uploaded a new version bug free with 2 additional coded events in less than 24 hours. Now I'm working with 3D animations AND I'm 1 guy!, if I can do that SIMBRO, you need to really get your head back in the game. I've been here since version 0.5. I remember the old boys on here: Me (Apocrypha), Dragonfire, Imperator, Loucifer and Rc160. Most of us are long gone from this page, or visiting very rarely now. Look whatever it is, whatever is bothering you or making you delay things or not do the work or milk the patrons etc etc deal with it. Because soon, that $18,000 you once earned a month? That $15,000 you earned a month? That $12,000 you earned a month? Getting the picture yet? It's going to come down...hard. But not only that a great idea that brought 1000's of people from all over the world together, here will be GONE, as well as the name of creators besmirched. What will it take for you to be honest and professional? Or perhaps, as you have shown us, what will it cost for you to be honest and professional?
<a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-bugs-to-fix-13678828">https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-bugs-to-fix-13678828</a> - See? Not difficult, it's professional and patrons appreciate being kept informed.
Fuxxing. creater
Fuck you Sim Bro, might as well not even have a Fucking count down if your gonna keep delaying this shit
Delays are fine if you're fixing bugs and whatnot. TBH, bugfixes make a game much better. If you need help with coding I'm open to help, it's my full-time job anyway.
honestly, you guys are so fucking lame. only delays, broken versions and missed promises for months now. you do not deserve any cash for the shit you do
Idc for delay, im smashin my old friend's wife
I hope new villains are introduced with this territory system. I wish the guy you're in debt to would start his own brothel. That would help push narrative and give us something new to do.
LOL.. really. HAHAHA ... OMG LOL.... saw this coming. This is why I stopped giving them anything. ROFL!
suprised!!!! -.-
can u add that fucking countdown after u check if the game is ready to be published (no bugs, no glitches, no missing textures/lines etc.)? or just publish the game when it's ready?
booooo
anyone else not surprised?
pls let to FC do scort request
Bruh SimBro Team If you need a break just tell us instead of having a Mental Breakdown Just In Case
I'm not really surprised about the delay, but I'm not angry either. Delays mean that we will be getting a better update/patch in the end. I think you guys shouldn't shoot for an update a month now, since it seems to be too hard to keep to that promise. I think it would be better to make a large update every 2-3 months, with a lot of content or fixes in the patch. This game still has a long ways to go, and the community is slowly turning against it due to the lack of communication/progress. I would say reduce the frequency of updates, but keep us more in the loop as to what you are doing. More polls would be nice too, I haven't seen one of those in awhile.
And what you would say will fall on deaf ears. They post a countdown, post an extension to the countdown, post a super-buggy version, then go dark until next countdown.
Pareciera que de todo el mes solo trabajaran 1 semana antes de lanzar nueva actualización, ganan mucho mas al mes que muchos trabajos que varios conocemos y no pueden arreglar sus propios bugs?
We all knew this would happen....
Hope you fix the old friend glitch too, it wont make me do the grinch event
lets not get crazy here, you want it released next week or next month.
thanks for nothing.
Why not just simply estimate the next release date and add 3 days to it?
Well so much for redemption. Like in the previous delay, you keep saying that you're fighting bugs, and yet, not only do the bugs persist, they multiply. And what happened to all those promises you said? Like the half-done scene when the police captures your girls? I see no mention of that anywhere, and somehow, you still find it appropriate to promise stuff like the moving brothel. I think it's safe to assume that when you say things like that, it'll probably never happen. And really wtf is wrong with the story? The "story" you have consists of a jumble of things that do not make any sense. Sure Alice’s storyline somewhat makes sense, but it sure as hell doesn’t take months of development just to come up with her still unfinished back story. Moreover, what’s the deal with the old pal’s wife? She’s a shy nympho just like Eva, who hasn’t had any chance to develop her character. Why add another character like this? If anything, it makes it seem like you guys don’t even bother making a coherent story. After more than a year of development, we don’t even know the identity of the debt collectors’ boss yet. Meanwhile, we’ve been drudging over pieces of story that don’t relate to each other. How does Julia play a role in developing the brothel? How will Eva be useful other than being just another girl with the nympho stat (which by the way, you could get in the slums)? There’s no narrative whatsoever, and all of the pieces seem like they’ve been crudely glued together and tossed into people with the hopes that they won’t notice the glaring imperfections.
nice sum up
Honestly if the version is still playable, give it to us and then release the fix in the three days! That way we get what you promised us, we can see what you've been working on, and you dont have to keep pushing it back the day you told us it was due.
All you people still paying have been cock blocked again. Enjoy!
don't do countdows if you are not sure for 200% that game is ready
I used to contribute 10 $ to this farce. I dropped it down to 1 $ due to these creators obvious lack of progress. I do enjoy the endproduct, but the amount of delays and the ludicrously low speed of development is costing you a lot of money friend. It certainly doesn't help that every infrequent update is the same thing again.
It makes me glad to see the gym and downtown in the upcoming update. I am sure these new additions including the aesthetic ones have caused some bugs. Nevertheless, I along with many other unspoken voices appreciate your group's hard work. Remember, people will always criticize but this makes your product and team better over time although you must deal with dissatisfaction and borderline hate in the meantime. Keep pursing your product I am sure it will be a hit.
if they listened to all critiques nothing would get done they have to develop each area of game and in this update outside the brothel shall have its biggest changes yet, then maybe theyll look at bar and configurations within borthel and maybe more rooms
У меня у одного такое чувство что обновления начинаются делаться в те 10 дней когда выкладывается пост и никогда времени не хватает?!
They may have to redo dialogue at the start to explain all this new locations such as downtown although i cant imagine that takes days
Мы делели делали, целый месяц блять делали, 10 дней тестили, тестили, нихуя не натестили, надо еще время! ВЫ КОГДА НИБУДЬ БЛЯТЬ БУДЕТЕ ВО ВРЕМЯ ВСЕ ДЕЛАТЬ?!
i think the way the team looks for new scenereos that take time to debug and make it into the game could mean they have a few more scenes and characters the works, buns in the oven or irons in the fire that they must find ways to fit into game like the Old Pal Visit which is entertaining but i dont know exactly how to get second event or if you can hire girl or anything
they ain't doing none of that if it takes them a month to add 1-5 minutes of content the chances of them adding something additional is zero
I can't say I'm not surprised
You know, if you would communicate more throughout the process, and fix some bugs, you would see less hate here when you miss your self imposed deadlines. I am contributing $1 a month because I want to support your work. I would contribute more, but I doubt you will ever finish this game, so you aren't a good risk. If you show that you are a good risk, and build some trust, people will contribute more. Just my thoughts and opinion.
programming obviously can be fairly difficult process i wonder if there is any low lying fruit content that they could add to the game bug free that would add to the experience of the game without taking long time to programme
The thing is, not all developers can have such salary in a month. They could've just focused on this as their priority job. If so, the update will even be able to update once in a week. It's not really that hard if they really want to focus on this thing. We paid them. There's no excuse for anything. SimBro team is just lucky enough to survive because their patrons are all patient, but meh, if only their patrons stop supporting, they WILL, for sure, update this game ON TIME. We should scare this team for a better improvement work.
i knew it
Ha becomming 360$/Day it's clear why they add some days to the countdown ... !
Surprise surprise.
Oh my!!! A DELAY!!! I'm surprised! Are you unwell? This has NEVER happened before. Our best patreon mon....er wishes go with you. How will i ever manage to have a wank to again without the 2d characters of simbro, woe is me that my software is only 3d! Alas, i'm am sure that everyone here has some well chosen words of encouragement for you as we are of course so concerned about such an unexpected event...:-)
That sarcasm, tho.
LoL
Disgrace
do any of you remember Trevour from gta V telling michel that thing are going like clockwork ? well that was the line poping in to my head when i sow the title =)) LIKE CLOCKWORK!
Screw you guys, I'm going home!
Ehhh could be worse, they could have taken anouther month like last time.
its only natural that they hit stumbling blocks and cant forecast how long things take to do it would be nice if they came in before time with lots of extra content and surpased expectations like they used to again
Now I'm thoroughly convinced that the initial 2.5 countdown post was when they actually started working on the update.
The team does seem to have a similar working style to south park writers
I was so sûre of that !!!! :D
Not suprise
Lol
