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.
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
