As much as I agree afraid I am gonna have to disagree since they didn't quite technically pay for the game that would be saying they "Pre-Ordered" the game which they didn't as the game never really had a set price and was being given away for free you donated to unlock early access...

That being said I still think this dude is a fucking pussy for not coming out straight and saying I don't have time to do this game anymore and or this is just not fun and is killing my soul here is the source code have fun...

Instead he came out with one of the WORST excuses I have heard from a dev in a very long time with a story this fucking idiot thought was a pretty air tight story and a solid excuse only to have that shit ripped apart from brains to balls showing either A. How much of a fucking idiot him and his dev team are or B. How much shit they were full of...

Bottom line if this is the way this dev team acts glad they showed their true colors now then later and now we know never to support this group of colossal queers and I am glad they are fucking gone.

True, what i meant by "paid" will be understand here by "support", trusting him and his team, and he finally betrayed them.

Quite a sad news, but that cancellation explanation is indeed a pretty story. I have spent past decade in IT, first half actually "In some company that repairs computers" and I have not seen anything like this, that being:
  • Laptop burned?
  • HDD crashed
  • rendering 3D on actual fraking laptop
  • no backups in at least half a year dev cycle
If anything of that can be believed, I can imagine some "Gaming" laptop, and I am using that tag in a highly ironical sense, could eventually melt itself under the heat load from 3D rendering in case of dirty heatsink or fan failure. I have seen some of laptops like this melting itself due to inappropriate cooling in a first place, where continuous load would over time caused plastics of the fan itself to change and clog itself. That being said, using Laptop in a first place for such a purpose.. oh well...
Running half at least without a backup on even a bloody flashdrive or anything external just maybe pointing out how much those "devs" do not know about computers and development process as a whole, or its one of the cheapest "reasons" ever to stop developing.

But as somebody pointed out already, Patreon != preorder/kickstarter .. You just patron that person/group to do whatever it is they do and if they decided to stop for whatever dumb reason the want, there is nothing you can do apart from stopping that said support.

The only thing I wonder about nowadays if how MANY other projects represented on these forums will end up like this... But my pessimistic nature foretell it wont be the last one, but one of many.

Could someone explain something? I know shit about computers and making games and despite a non native english man, i can read it pretty good, then i might be dumb....

1-dev said the laptop crashed and lost the game
2-few said that from the game itself, from a copy such as we downloaded here, you can get the code back.
3-quote from his patreon page, about the poll, so recent :
"
Hello there ! For pictures from unity extract,I can recommend AssetsBundleExtractor. It can extract All files from unity engine games (older games was succes for me on previous windows).

Thank you very much sir, we have the photos on the other machine which did the renders... we still need to retouch them in photoshop/lightroom but that is no big deal..."

Conclusion and my need for explanation : if he got the CODE and the PHOTOS, why he is not able to continue?
what am i missing here?

Near as I could tell, he wasn't able to extract the code. He tried and failed - which is understandable, since it's not quite as easy as people make it out to be. The code is still in there, and recovering it in some form would be less work than redoing everything, but he isn't comfortable enough with the tools to do it.

Some of you asked us when we will restart the work, so yesterday we had a meeting and we talked about some things that we want to change in the future remake of the game and when we will restart the work.
For now we don't know for sure when the restart will happen, it could be in a few weeks or it could be next year, the only certain thing is that we will restart the work, but we want to make sure that we have a better game system until we restart. For the past few days I was looking into some nice tools that could make our development easier and faster.

That being said I'm not sure when we will start, but don't worry, we will release a better game, with better gameplay and better renders and when we'll have something stable to show you'll see.

Thanks for your support and please keep following us.

best bet would be to use rpg maker mv instead of unity since you can use 3d images in rpg maker mv and it has been done and might i add at a extremely cheaper rate or you can try renpy renpy is a story/game base engine ware rpg maker is a game creating engine

Not sure about RPG Maker. Unless they use custom sprites, faces and backgrounds it would probably end up looking extremely similar to at least 127834 other RPG Maker adult games.
I was also under the impression that Unity is superior to Ren'Py as long as you know what you're doing.

Appearntly this dudes games was a special snowflake game according to him that had some kinda super secret script which triggered all the events and shit so even if they could extract the code (which they can it was even done for them) It won't work cause they lost there super secret script so it makes the whole game useless which is a load of fucking shit.

Sometimes no matter how much cash you throw on something, if the motivation for it aint there its not going to help.
Or it could be a super secret snowflake problem like you said. Anyway like i said before.. i dont believe anything they say.

When I played this game I remember there were a bulk of registers, one for each saved game. So nothing will happen if you edit your register and put '1' in XXXregisterScene if the saved game is wrong (or if you are modifying values that belong to saved game 'SAVE0' and you are loading saved game 'SAVE1'). So look for the name of your seved game, generally 'SAVE1_' and edit those registers. Tell me if you could do it.
