Goodbye Eternity
October 2024 # Devlog
Like many of you, I thought the worst was behind us. However, our latest internal beta tests have revealed a critical bug, the kind that ruins the game experience and completely blocks progress.
To make things even more complicated, this bug only appears on the Windows version of the game. Due to the severity of the issue and the very unfavorable timing, we currently have no visibility on the time required to resolve it. Nevertheless, we are doing everything we can, as always, to address it as quickly as possible.
This brings me to discuss the deadlines we set. We establish them primarily for you, our backers, who deserve to know when the next version will be available. However, with the game engine change, this deadline has become an added pressure, as we face unexpected issues related to this new development environment.
I’d rather be honest with you: we can’t continue like this. This might be hard to understand for some, but it’s essential—even vital. My role is to ensure that the people working with me can do so in the best possible conditions. Constantly imposing unachievable deadlines brings the team closer and closer to burnout, something we must absolutely avoid.
From now on, the next updates will be released when they’re ready. This might be risky, but without this change, I’m not sure I can preserve the mental health of the team, nor my own.
Let’s end on a positive note: the storyline for version 0.11 is 90% complete, and it will forever change the story of Goodbye Eternity. Three new female characters will also make their debut: Erika, Nobu’s older sister; Hanako, Kenji’s mother; and Tsubaki, Takeo’s girlfriend.
Once again, I apologize for not being able to meet my commitments as planned, but please know that this doesn’t change our dedication to this project. We will continue to work hard to deliver the best possible version to you.

Quand sortira-t-il ? J'attends la tête pleine.
Do whatever you need to ensure you can complete this project. However long it takes, I don't care. I can't handle another unfinished game with so much potential! Truly wish you and the team the best of luck, and I'll be eagerly awaiting the next update!!
Personally, i thinks its better that you consider you and your teams health over the project. That way its not only us that gets satisfied with the game, but also for you guys to have the satisfaction of seeing your progress with less struggles. i hope you and your team good health and i hope you get an unexpeted solution and everyone is happy. :)
ps: im sure everyone in your team is happy to have such a caring and amazing boss to manage them. you really are a boss worth working for.
They are very healthy. They are taking more than 17k USD per month and milking naive guys like you. And if you think they are like some company or anything, no they are not. It's some philipines scam dude and his cousins taking holidays for rest of their lives. While you are waiting over half year for 15 min of content that is not even working properly, they are milking your american wallet.🤑🤑🤑I think they are 2 in total and they are absolutely genius. Soon they will have enough to not work for rest of their lives while you are still spamming comments about "quality over quantity" under game which crashes every 2 minutes when released and even paying them.
If I didn't have to take over our family company, I would be just like these guys. Milking money of stupid dumb americans such as yourself by making these porn games with >half year updates.🤑
well then, clearly you've never tried making a game before. making a game is genuinely hard. i have a friend that tried making a very simple parkour game and took 6 months for just five levels with less than 3 mins for each level. and he didnt add a reset feature because he said its a lot of coding to add. plus if problems appear and change the schedule of release, it really strains the mental health. plus, its not just "2 in total" there are several artists that do need that much money to support themselves. drawing and animating is a very costly effort. so show some respect cause its really that tiring and costly just to make small progress in making such a deep story game. even if its an R18 game.
ps: im a korean who lives in the philippines. (full korean btw) and i think filipinos would be more hardworking than you. they scam with really poor quality games and promise free money just to play the game. no one in the world would scam you after putting this much effort in story telling and quality art.
Your friend wasn't paid 17k USD just from Patreon. It's way more money overall, they are taking lot of thousands from this site and another sites. :) Very clever to compare scammers with already over 100k USD in pockets with your friend that tried once to make his own game lmao.
yeah, clearly you are just saying things for your own pride. You just have no idea how much it takes to reach this point. This game has actual years of development effort and you're just unable to recognize that. As for my friends game, it was just a test. He didn't even try to upload it for download to anyone. I just simply mention him to point out how much effort it takes to make even a simple game and how exhausting it is on anyone. It was basically a trial into programing. Just take the L and give respect to the game developers that they are putting more effort into making us, the players and viewers, having a good time with either the story or the h scenes it has.
its good and all but seeing the time still coming i think i will get old waiting for an hour content after 1/2 update a year. we also age bro. its just opinions of who also have work in life not some young people like you who runs on fathers money. soon you will see the value of time. im also a dev and game creator. so i also know he have stress but dude hes also getting payed enough to hire more prof team if he alone cannot manage, it seems like a 1 or 2 person project for a 17k project as of now. if i got paid like that i would have hired my prof friends and worked on monthly or at least 2 month a big update.
I've checked your profile and all you do is comment hate posts on this game's page. If YOU think its a scam then why are you still here after 130+ DAYS commenting the same shit over and over again. You literally stated the reason they take a long time to update their game, its because they're a SMALL TEAM OF PEOPLE. I get that people get mad at devs for not monthly updating the game but people like you should be thankful that the creator still updates the game and hasn't dropped the project yet. Also, straight up racism? over slow updates and on a positive comment that's supporting the devs? I think you're just jealous that other people have the money to spend on what they like. I'm not Filipino, but that's just fucked up, I have to stand up for my fellow asians (I'm half japanese half canadian), stereotyping people from third-world countries is just straight up disgusting, and I'm pretty sure RNG isn't even asian. I suggest you touch some grass, get a job, a girlfriend, and stop hating on this one fucking indie game.
Edit: RNG IS FRENCH
I am glad you checked my profile, so you know it's not some random sh*t but cruel reality. I am here from pretty much beginning... for years... :) Most of my old comments were deleted by them. And I will keep spamming under these scammers and state that they are scammers.
Stereotyping Philippines is very reasonable, most of people over there are scammers. I advise you to for example sell your account at some social media group and you will see instantly many filipinos trying to scam you. :) It's shitty 3rd world country where most of people live from scamming dumb americans.
Yk these no-life insults don't work at me. I do have girlfriend with which I play these porn games. :)))) And I am quite sure I have way better paid job than you. :) I wish you nice day and less scammed money from Filipinos out of your pocket!
How about you try living in the philippines before you say things. Its the same with india. People say that these countries are bad, that all they do is scam and rob. so does america or anywhere else man. at this point you are just being openly racist and offensive. how about you try proving to us that they are scammers by making a game yourself. try to make it as good as this game interms of quality of the images, story, performance of the game, with many convenient features. try that and if its good and everyone openly likes it. and if you can make it faster than this game developer. then i will agree with you and call this game a scam
Yknow, you're a real big pile of shit, a racist pile of shit. I will GLADLY buy you a ticket to the Philippines so you could see how much nicer and generous Filipinos are. Just cuz your country didn't get invaded in war doesn't mean you can shit on third-world countries. Stereotyping a whole fucking country isn't "reasonable" its completely racist, what did a Filipino ever do to you?
If you don't like that they update regularly then do this thing called "Stop playing" its common sense, something an absolute imbecile like you doesn't have. And since you wanna be a bitch so bad and talk shit about a poor country, let me humble you in this next paragraph with words your tiny ape brain can't process, you insolent and disgusting fool.
First off, i've been living in Japan for most of my life, a country that can't speak english well, but the fact that i speak better english and have better grammar than you is straight up astonishing. Second, playing porn games with your alleged girlfriend? That's just unlikely, someone needs to investigate your home to see if that poor woman's being held at gunpoint and being forced to be your girlfriend. Third, are you sure you have a "better paid job" than me? That statement is just a lie and also further proves my point in my first statement. A person like you who plays porn games all day could not make more money than a person working in fucking retail. Yes i work a 9-5 but in the past 3 years I've made more money than you, in fact, i think you're still forcing your parents to work so they could support your disgustingly abhorrent lifestyle. Once again i suggest you stop sniffing glue and get a real girlfriend, not an AI, not a bodypillow, get a real woman, a tangible human being, and while you're at it, take a break from the internet, have some fun, vacation in the... Bahamas for example or go to the seven wonders of the world or, OOH, or maybe.... THE PHILIPPINES.
Take your time and be safe. You and your team are making somethig special
实际上，我们需要的是一个完整的游戏，而不是一个为了赶时间而制作出来的半成品

真的，不能在限定时间内完成就不要夸下海口了，每次都这样感觉受到了欺骗
Take your time, you have a very good game so we understand that it can be hard at times so just take your time and enjoy the process of making this great game!
Só pra confirmar, não vai ter NTR no jogo, né? O fim da atualização 9.1 me deixou preocupado
Please take your time. I'll be excited to play it when it's ready :)
Don't stress it king, take your time.
Why change the game engine for no reason?
Bro, if you need time, take your time. It's much better to have a transparent dev who in the end delivers a good game than to just delay without giving explanations.
Oh don't wanna burn out...
Take the time you need!
Just keeping us up to date with what's going on is enough to keep people interested. :-)
That's fair! Take your time, while it sucks that the updates get delayed, I have no problem waiting for a better, more fleshed out product! Do whatever you and the team needs!
Hey... *Speak in whispers : sayuri route when? 😶🌫️
When can do sex with golden hair girl?
Take your time, don't ruin your health! After all, we only have one life! We'll wait patiently. ;-)
I honestly think it would have been better if you just shared the story of the game in detail and get people to fund towards that while you finish the entire game in advance and so you can sell it at a higher price. This way you work at your own pace and people will be patient. Where now I feel cockteased and I can't wait to see more which puts pressure on you guys... but the game is so good it makes me want to push you guys into burnout selfishly, my apologies for having this mindset but your the one that had to make it this good and allow us to experience it lol
