VN Ren'Py Abandoned A.O.A. Academy [Ch.5 Gold] [TLGGAMES]

[Odin73]

so dev left without even bothering to inform his patreons who supported him why he left while also not revealing the ending for the game he abandoned, what a cunt lol

Did you realize about what if he passed away? There a rumor that he passed away. We dont know what is happening so I wouldn't said what a cunt.

it's possible but still somebody had to close his patreon and that person should have made an announcement if it is true

I doubt a family member would come along and be like "hey guys, sorry about not finishing your fuck game, but there's been some bad news."

No one ever owes anyone they've never had any interaction with anything.

I hope the reason for this being abandoned wasn't due to tragic circumstances.
Such a shame as the game had a lot of potential, but if the dev stepped away for health reasons then that's understandable.
It's just strange he never told anyone. Here's hoping he might return one day.

There are some rumors that the dev passed away, but those are just rumors.
There is also a message on the games Discord (hearsay, but apparently from a mod) that the dev has some problems with his family. Something about his kids. (Sickness? Something worse?)
The dev is still alive but has other priorities in his life right now.

Well that's good news he didn't pass away. I'm glad for him and his family.
Life is much more important than any VN. I hope his kids are okay.
Thanks for the info

Thank you for the update i hope his kids are alright and one day he can finish this masterpiece of a game.

That is true completely but to go radio silent and completely delete your patreon with no explanation on why your leaving to the people that gave you huge financial support is a little scummy. I think it hurts other devs because it breaks that trust between supporters and the dev. Why support a project if there is a good chance of it being abandoned in the future and never getting an ending. I fully support dev's moving on if they need to but it would be nice if they could at least say something or give the project to some dev that is trusted.

i can't be no mad about this game... not being completed near the end is an insuot to every patron and gamers outhere

Oh I agree, it would be nice to receive a little heads up before committing to a scorched earth action.
At least to the Patreons who supported with their wallets. It is possible the dev's been in a very bad place mentally and just reacted in an extreme way. So many good games have gone down the Abandoned route. I still miss Reluctant Archon which was another promising title but relegated to the scrapheap

Still, life and family will always come first.
While, yes It would be nice to leave a final brief update to confirm they have quit developing that game and bring closure for fans still hoping it will be resurrected one day, who knows the state the guy was in at the time or what happened.

For people feeling mad about it, if the dev was in a very bad place with mental health then the game and it's supporters were no doubt very low in his considerations, if at all. Anyone who has ever had serious mental heath issues or knows someone that has them, knows that acting logically or conscientiously is rarely an option. The walls can literally feel like they are closing in. So while I can sympathize with supporters, I can't condemn the guy without knowing what has happened.

At least he isn't still taking money on Patreon and staying silent...like at least one dev I know of.

 

[aluoaniki]

at least he closed off his patreon instead of milking patrons. i give him credit where credit's due.

Well said.

If it is a tragic or mental health issue it is very difficult to deal with people especially if your creating something as time consuming as a video game.

I came here to make a post about discovering this game , and adoring the quality renders and the decent story only to come into this thread and see posts about the game being abandoned , yet after reading your post (having suffered loss due to mental health issues myself and with loved ones) I would rather just say thanks for your respectful post rather than talk about the game, at least for now.

I agree that whatever has happened, the dev clearly thought it was unfair to keep subscriptions open , and that just shutting down the patreon page is very likely that the dev has suffered personally and its almost likely too much to deal with.

Its nice to see someone taking an alternate view , as far too many would rather rant due to ignorance about it , and to be fair , If there has been some history of other AVN devs doing similar , yet still taking money and not delivering a product , I can kind of understand some anger , but it may be targeted at the wrong persons in this regard.

In this month, this game will be 1 year since it was abandoned...

I think it's just simply about having some basic empathy for the dev and his family.
I'm not a patreon, so I don't feel he owes me anything and I'm certainly not going to get mad over an AVN on here.
Shit happens and life goes on.

In the other case Detective Necro Dev keep people posted even after his medical problems.

I was never saying anything, but this project picked my interest, I hope everything good with the author. God bless him with the path he choose and I hope we will see more about this story.

 

[redweiler2]

I respect his decision since I personally didn't spend a cent
But I want to ask
Is it possible any other developer continue this game?
The models are perfect and the story too!

I agree.

I personally felt sad once I came to the end of the content because I became engrossed and attached to some of the characters in the game , Jenny especially . The story was great and the antagonist plot really threw a spanner in the works .

It was coming to a head, relationships trying to blossom under the shadow of a possible bad outcome

I think that says a lot about the person behind this content . To write a great AVN , render it beautifully isnt something the developer would have abandoned just because they are malicious .

Its certainly not healthy to be so upset this game came to an unfortunate end . I enjoyed it for as long as it lasted , naturally felt emotional responses form a great story and characters , but moved on. I hope either the dev finds the strength and courage to continue it one day , or perhaps finds others that can share the vision to continue it .

It would be a shame to never see its conclusion but its not the end of the world if it doesn't.

I admit I really enjoyed all the girls back stories being revealed and discovering they were all pretty much suffering the effects of bad past circumstances. That poor MC dealing with all these girls and their baggage
Although I felt the MC had become like a mute secondary character later in game. It was like, here is this big guy who is being made helpless almost (Vicki ends up filling the protector role at the time) and stands around in the background with little input. It just felt awkward playing him later in game.
I wasn't a fan of the whole gangster type plotline to be honest. It had gone from a fun game with moments of drama to this really heavy story suddenly that killed off some of the cool vibe and made the MC a bit helpless. It just felt a big switch around to me.

Jenny was my favorite too

Yeah I felt sad finding out it was abandoned and even more sadder that something bad might have happened with the dev or his family. We have lost a few great devs/modders/users over the last couple of years on here.

I would love to see tlg return one day and pickup his game again as it had so much potential left. Unfortunately after a year, I think it is highly unlikely. I just hope he has some happiness by now, after wrestling with mental health issues for so long.

I don't know. Red Dust came back after 2 years. So, it's possible. I just hope that TLG is safe, happy and healthy.
