Hi everyone, we have some fullservice news updates.
It's been awhile since we posted any updates at all and we owe you an explanation for what happened during the last two months.
1. Payment Problems - Kickstarter payment. We hate to admit that we had several delays with the kickstarter payment system. The problem is, It took more than 3 months to get the funds from an American Bank. One of our project admins in US had to transfer the funds to fix this problem. It took until August 2017 to finally get the money deposited into his account. Unfortunately, my Paypal has been reported for R18 transactions so he was unable to send all the money through my account. We had to send the funds separately across many days to complete this task.
2. Solving the Funding Problems - Before the Kickstarter was funded the FullService project was fully funded by me. I took alot of my money which I earned from Patreon to create the new company as well as hiring the outsources and crew. As I thought I could handle the project fully, I left my original work as Patreon Artist on Hiatus officially since January. So far everything was going well, but I left my Patron's hanging as a result which is bad. I promised that I would be back to Patreon again in June, (finished or not with fullservice). The basic (sex) CGs and sketches for fullservice were completely done but unfortunately we still have more workload because of all of the strech goals the project reached. By May 2017, I had no funds left to outsource staff for our Project since the Kickstarter fund had not arriving yet. So I had to fund this in a hard way, I got permission from my crew to return to Patreon again so I could pay of the debts I owed and to secure funds while we waited for the KS funds to clear. This paused FS progress starting June when I focused on getting Patreon caught up. Thank god that KS fund finally cleared in August so now I have no excuse anymore but to return to FS as soon as possible. in short, Funds problem have been solved.
3. Resignation of our Co-Founder & New Recruitment - One of our main crew; our co-founder, Kaen (KS admin, programmer, and crew management) left us for private matters. We lost our support wing, it's really hard to work without him but we had to move on and find a replacement. It took time for us to find for replacement (You probably noticed that our KS admin was not responding to questions anymore) but recently we found a new programmer that can replace him. Hopefully he can do better for us!
4. Storywriting progress - After that, Our storywriter (and also twitter admin) got hospitalized for more than 3 weeks and is still heavily medicated now ><. Though he already did a great job by finishing mostll of the stories before he got sick the only thing missing are the dialogue for the scenes which he does all by himself. He is recovering now and should be able to resume with his work, asap. Please wish him well!
5. Resuming our Progress - October has arrived and it took almost 2 month for us to resume progress on FS. We are now progressing with the 3rd or Final demo for our beloved funders that will include voice acting (english first), mini games, and polished basic content that fullservice needs. We hope to have it completed this month! Please give us any feedback once it's out!
6. FullService released date was expected by the end of this year but due to the rearrangement of crew and staff we are having a second thoughts about if we can achieve that goal. We apologize that we have to take down our release date up until the we're completely sure about it. We learned our lesson from this experience and will do a better job in the future. It is my fault for thinking optimistically to finish this project by summer 2017. Without considering the success of our kickstarter goals we misplanned for such huge amounts of content in the game. So, for this matter, I really really apologize.
I will be in charge and will do our best to update the pages whenever we made any progress without spoiling (much) of the content, and EcchiEcchi will reply your messages whenever you need help or anything. You can find the updates on the KS, facebook, or twitter, (and sometime on my private twitter @mazjojomania too!)
We're so grateful that everyone still expecting the game progress even though we took a year already. I'm sure all of us want the best for the game. Thank you and see you on the next update!
