Did the 5 shots of radiation on my lung, was suppose to start the brain radiation on the 31st, but due to bone scan, I canceled it, is everywhere in bones and is very bad, not allowed to do anything anymore, no lifting or anything. sucks when own a farm, had to hire help. can break my hip just by rolling over at night the dr said. need to keep balance as long as I can. Then wt it in my lymph nodes, pancreas , kidneys and few other places. Im fked, no hope. Only thing can do is try to manage the pain. last few days have been hell. probbably tmi but i dont care anymore. thx for asking. only 42, dead before i see 43. fun fun. lol.
I admire you for facing it so calmly. I know I wouldn't. Also, dude, fuck the farm. Your quality of life is the number 1 priority right now. Did they give you any number? Weeks? Months?

I told you about a month ago that my grandma had stage 4 lung cancer as well, was given a year, and survived for 3y. Are you done with all the chemo? Do you get to do more rounds in the future? Or did they tell you that's it and they're not gonna try anything else?

I do remember yes, i have same, stage 4 adenocarcinoma lung cancer. 5 rounds on lung, then we were gonna do 5 on brain, they didnt want to do chemo, since i want to keep my balance for as long as possible, I turned down the brain treatment. As of now, no more treatments. they say to far advanced and to aggressive. They are doing palliative care now. Manage systoms and pain. dont even think im gonna get another scan. been feeling very crappy for years, dr could never find anything, who knows how long i've had it already.

He also has a full time job, family and 2 other people he gives money to also do work on the game. At least 1 has an account. Ask his cut.

Strenif has not stated anyone else is working with him. Just Will and himself.

Strenif has also gaslit me when I gave him a reasonable example on the amount of time Will reasonably should have for the 8 months he dragged on. Strenif admitted he works about 10 hours a week on his part, in general. Now he says the reason he has been slacking is due to his wife. Im not fully incline to believe him but I also dont want to.believe someone would lie about something so fucked up.

Edit:

A note as well, I believe Strenif admitted on Discord that he isnt paid by Will yet.

UPDATE ON DISCORD:

Hey all, Strenif here.

I’ve got some shit news to share, so I’ll just get right to it.

Will is going to be stepping away from game development for a while. I won’t get into details. But due to an event that happened earlier this week. He is going to be focusing all his time on his family.

**What does this mean for the future of AFV?**
For now, I will be taking over development of the game. Many of you know me, but for those who don’t; I joined the project in 2021, and have been contributing to the story and helping with content creation ever since.

**When is the new update coming out?**
Will is sending me everything he’s done so far. I’m still a little new to Ren’Py, so I’m uncertain of an ETA. I will let everyone know once he’s sent it all over to me. I will be as transparent as possible while I’m going through the code, and I also have a few Ren’Py experts in the community I can lean on if I need to.

**What about future updates?**
I had already completed working on the first event for 0.09v4.

Obviously, I will be putting that on pause while working on 0.09v3. Once 0.09v3 is out, work on 0.09v4 will resume. I’ll be providing updates on v4 every few weeks on progression and previews. I’m expecting roughly every 2-3 weeks, based on what’s been accomplished – if I’ve just been coding or bugfixing, there’s not very much to actually show.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me in Discord.

Happy to hear Strenif is taking over. Maybe I will get to see another update :) Anyhow, Will's SS is still up and running, wonder if he will change payments to free or whatnot, no work, no money I say. But he will most likely keep taking the free money.

and this is why game releases should not be behind a paywall.
I'm beginning to agree. The sad part about all of this is that there's no way to regulate these folks. If you bring in regulations, then all of the games will turn vanilla. Only in This community can a dev get pay advances for work that's delayed, incomplete, buggy, poorly done or just plain incompetent.
As far as this game goes, I said it before, that when I found out on Discord very early in the year that Will was supposedly working on another game, while not even being at the halfway mark of this one, I was worried. I even expressed my concerns there & was assured by both Will & strenif that the 2nd game was a means to avoid burnout on AFV. I was told that the work for AFV had a lot of content being developed and that when the update came out, it would be huge. The thing was was that there was no time table given for when an update would be released.
Whether he has family issues or work issues, I can't say & won't speculate because I don't live with either of them. I can give the benefit of the doubt because I have a number of family issues as well that keeps me from finishing my novel. What I ask for and expect, is to be transparent. If you have issues, just come out and SAY it. Most people can understand. If you're only doing this on weekends and during small breaks at home, Say That Too. Then be honest. If you're taking people's money through a paysite, be respectable. Ask your supporters if they're willing to continue paying after you suspend the game. As it stands, if you go to the paysites, you'll see that a lot of folks have money to throw away. For those not willing, shut the service down after 30 days. Don't just lie and keep stealing money (L&P). It's that kind of thing that pisses paying folks off. Doesn't matter about the pirates because they'll Always find something to bitch about anyway. For them, it's a matter of confidence. I've seen a few out there who decided to sub to a game because they liked the content and was willing to contribute but you can't expect that with long delays and lies. Hell, as frugal as I am with my money, I briefly subbed until i found out that a second project was being done. I knew Then that AFV was done and promptly Unsubscribed 2 days after talking to strenif.
I've been in this forum long enough to see the brickwall coming for games long before others. The patterns are basically the same. The reasoning is the motivation of money. When your motivated by it and you're doing creative work, it ALWAYS affects how you perform, good or bad.
Can't say that I'm surprised by the news as again, I saw this one coming. Just shaking my head at how long it took to get here. Now, at least, I can unfollow this thread & try to sort through the myriad of games that I downloaded to find one or two that I like. The most ironic part of this for me is, AFV was the 1st AVN game that I discovered and it's what got me into them in the First place. Oh well. It's been Real, it's been Fun but it ain't been Real Fun. :rolleyes:
