Is Sad Panda killing the game?

[Anuyushi]

I mean, emotionally it just doesn't seem all there anymore. Content is the occasional outfit, phone flings for all the original guys is cool but adding new guys is nearly never. The newest ones available are paid only. Never a single parallel universe event, pinup images seemed to stop coming out. I love Blush Blush a lot more than Crush Crush, but at this point it's hard to cheer for because the devs don't really put any heart into it anymore.
Crush Crush just released a return of a parallel event, meanwhile Blush Blush hasn't had a single one of those let alone a return.

I'm not saying the game is bad or not worth playing btw, I don't feel like starting a debate. I'm just listing things I noticed that's causing the game to gradually die and idk if Sad Panda is wanting to keep it going. I really hope there's an explosion of equal content with new events, images, characters, flings, and parallel universe events, but I don't see that happening. I'm just waiting to see if the game will die out for months once all the current boys have their phone flings released, and that's really sad because I love it :(

They are, but you're not completely correct; a new pinup was literally the last LTE.

[shevinev7]

Like RogueFireWolf said, we just had an event for a new pinup for one of the new DLC boys, and we can assume that the other two will get one too. Relatively soon, we will have Ace, the Vote-A-Fling winner coming in, and his pinup (since the other fling winners got one).
Not to mention all the new outfits.
So there's not necessarily a *lack* of new content, it's just not "playable" content.

[Anuyushi]

You're right, content, but not playable content. I look forward to Ace, but I hope it's more than one new obtainable boy for the year

[kalanyr]

New Boys for this game are kind of a mixed blessing because you pretty much can't complete them at this point, the costs are just too high to complete before a new one drops even at the current relatively slow rate.

[Anuyushi]

True, I had to get an autoclicker to 100% Sven and that was hellish on its own

[aquagirl555]

they need to add in more high paying jobs or increase the reset boost, or something to increase money outside of event time skips, because for the later game boys it's faster to buy them gifts rather then autoclick the talk button, because of how much purple hearts they need. Hobbies would need more levels to make talking viable for anyone past the main 12, except maybe cole for some reason, like cole was faster to level up then sven for me

They need to split the team more evenly, seems like CC is getting a new girl every month where as it takes BB seemingly 6 months to make one boy after a fling vote, it just seems team assets are not being equally spread between the two games and that's the reason for the content disparity

[Denynenem]

I love BB. I've been playing since 2019. A true OG.

I play CC, but I don't actually care about them.

I will say ive bought all BB dlcs in steam. Only missing Nutaku and Phone (yes I know nutaku was discountinued but still).

The thing is, Blush Blush just makes a LOT less money than CC. And because of this, it also gets a LOT less content. One could argue less content will lead to less money, but what can they do? Go in the red to get more content?

Because we view everything as one "Sad Panda Studios" we might think they collect money from all games and divide it equally, but from what I've heard from the developts, its not like that.

From watching Mio's (Artist Panda) streams, she actually mentioned they would have a meeting soon to discuss the POSSIBILITY of blush blush PES.

Ace's VA dropped his release date on somewhere around end of august.

tell me about it....I enjoy both games but not love Blush Blush even more and it's really sad. I catch flake for suggesting combining the games and having a sexual preference setting so everyone gets what they want. As a bisexual, there's really not much content out there (it's usually gay or straight/lesbian and no in between. It's really sad as the voice acting and spell broken scenes are amazing. If Blush Blush is getting shut down, at least give us a chance to purchase the art, offline version of game and audio.

[Axiefae]

Honestly agreed- as a gay guy there's not a lot of good dating sims centered on boys, so when I look at just how little Blush Blush is getting in comparison to Crush Crush it makes me sad. I know Crush Crush has been around for longer, but seeing that we have 14 Phone Flings that haven't been made full guys yet compared to Crush Crush's current 5 remaining gals?

I just hope that when the phone flings for crush crush are all added they can start focusing on Blush Blush ngl

[Chaos]

Honestly, very sad. I supported this game with money (would do so again, if the new content is out), but there is so little to do. In Crush Crush, something is constantly happening, I was away for few years and I was surprised how much new characters Crush Crush has gotten. Blush Blush meanwhile... xD Oh, well. I also think that lack of content = lack of popularity/money, because it's very easy to just drop this game, if you don't care about costumes (single costume running for 14 days? Come on.).

[Enbyous]

What does PES mean for blush blush? I'm just confused because I've tried looking it up but all I'm getting is Pro Evolution Soccer

[kalanyr]

Parallel Event (?)

Not sure for the S

[RowdyOne]

I doubt it's SPS 'killing' the game, it's the lack of players and especially players who spend money on the game. They took it off Nutaku.net because they weren't seeing much of a return on their efforts over there, so it's probably a case of 'just be glad it's still on Steam' at the moment.

I'm a player spending money on the game - also brought in my girlfriend who spent money to unlock all guys. The problem is... there is nothing to spent money on anymore. No new characters, new DLCs, nothing. The closest thing will be costume pack once it's out.
