Infamously incompetent yet strangely successful eroge maker Overflow has delayed its flagship interactive anime Cross Days for a staggering 6th time.
The game, originally scheduled for 27/2/2009, was first delayed to 24/4/2009, then to 26/6/2009, 20/11/2009, 18/12/2009, 29/1/2010 and now “finally” 19/3/2010, making Overflow the 3D Realms of eroge developers, and about as successful.
The huge number of successive delays probably suggests a development and QA fiasco, so just what shape any putative final release takes is anyone’s guess.
When they finally release it, it won’t work unless you download 1.5 TB of patches.
Delay Days….
Is this the same company that made School Days? 😐
The visuals are quite similar.
…You don’t know much about eroge do you?
I actually wish they’d go back to their old style of games. Large Ponpon and Summer Radish Vacation were some of the first eroge I ever played and still some of my favorites. Of course there is a very specific reason *why* I like them so much, but still… It would be nice for them to go back.
If anything, more time put into a game benefits it.
Of course to amateurs like the authors of this site it may seem like a bad sign.
But frankly, as I am a lead programmer for a game studio too, if we gave every game 6 more months, every single one of them would turn out for the better.
