I get this feeling it won't be fully voice acted, so much as just a few clips sprinkled in for flavor. Y'know, like a gacha game.
ValiDate - an upcoming (and unsurprisingly racist) visual novel made by SJW's, for SJW's. Currently MIA.

Are you telling me we might actually get to hear Malik’s rap? I take back everything I said. Validate GOTY.

Thoughts on the "Summer 2022" release date? Will it actually come out then or will the team's excellent work ethic put them behind schedule?

Quote me on this one: the game will be released incomplete and future content released as "episodes" or flat-out paid DLC.

Honestly I can see this just turning into vaporware.
you know the lawyer's son joke, right?
same shit.
just like many, many, many games on f95 that have patreon.

Confirmed by the Validate team themselves.
Reminder that “Volume 1“comes out summer 2022 and only has 6 characters.
If your favorite character’s not in that trailer then you’re basically fucked until they get around to making future volumes.

inb4 keaton is slapped in the last volume or the dlc, because no way people like the single white dude. this is very
, because i have that gut feeling that it will be a miracle if the first volume gets out. and after all, nothing more.

So in other words, you'll never likely get to play your favorite.
I'm thinking Keaton's mom will sound like Mona Lisa from My Cousin Vinny. But don't expect an Oscar winning performance.
What I really want to hear though is my nigga Malik.

Almost definitely, this grift won't end until it's been bled dry and they can no longer get a single dime without making it obvious that it's a scam.

$50 on the date moving out sometime between now and the supposed "release date". $100 on it being within less than a month before.

Holy shit it's like they're actively trying to lose "fans". If the game was at least free the average person just might give it a chance out of morbid curiosity. If the game costed money but was still in one piece sure there would be a smaller chance of that happening but hey maybe someone feels like wasting some money so it's whatever.
But not only is this going to cost money but it's ALSO going to be split into little parts that each have cost money AND there's going to be a significant amount of time between each volume (judging from how long its taking them to produce one)
Are they assuming every single person who comes upon this shitty looking vn is going to be immediately invested enough in these hideous characters to not only wait for each individual volume to release but also pay three different times including a dlc??? I mean shit I wish I had that much confidence.
Not to mention the fact that they have not made up their minds on the price is worrying. There's no reason this shit should cost anymore than 3 dollars

All failures will be blamed on white supremacy.
I think Dani's still under the impression that a bunch of memes= real marketing. But this game doesn't have the same autistic following as YanSim and never will. So that's just not gonna work. By the time the second volume is out, if it ever is, no one's going to give a dilator about it.
I just wanted to play this for the lulz. Now I am disappoint.
It's not like Dani is from some big time studio that takes years to release a AAA title. This is a bunch of hideous genderspecials in Ren'py. With all this work it better be mindblowing.

The only noteworthy games ever completed in the vein of a visual novel with that structure were Telltale's output and the Life is Strange series. I think there might have been one more game I've forgotten, something to do with detectives? But don't quote me on that.
Telltale is underwater and struggling for air right now while Life is Strange left the episodic nature of its releases with its lately entry because unless you're making something people give a shit about (i.e. Undertale and Deltarune seems to have skirted around this with its massive fan base - which came from a finished product, mind), people stop caring after a while.
The difference here is: Telltale and DONTNOD more or less released shit on schedule and even their lesser releases will be miles ahead of the quality of ValiDate, primarily due to resources available (and none of those projects being a grift run by Dani). As far as I'm aware, and I could be very wrong, there isn't a set release date for the next Deltarune release but everyone is okay to wait 12 years because they enjoyed Undertale so much and the developer proved themselves capable of making a finished product they enjoy.
As for other actual visual novels with an episodic release, they are few and far between and I'm pretty sure all entirely incomplete because either the teams break up, the developers get bored, or the grift doesn't prove to be as profitable as they believed. Or flat out scams. There's so many of those in this space, it's ridiculous.
Worse still for Dani is that she will not ever get the viral online marketing boost that games like Dream Daddy, Huniepop, Monster Prom, and even that free Normal Boots VN got because her game is a racist piece of shit and most of the top streamers and Youtube gaming personalities are white, white-passing, friends with Pewdiepie, or already do their woke points postings for AAA titles that offer more than what a comic book could give them.
