VN Ren'Py Abandoned Above the Clouds [v0.75] [Mundo Games]

[Husmi]

Straight from the horses mouth...



They are more active on Discord as well...

But that's the problem... a lot of people will just assume abandoned the moment they see no activity on Patreon, Discord and this site are not the place to communicate this type of thing, like a break, or an issue that will make you be off for some time, can't really blame people for thinking the game is done if the dev is not updating the place where the billing happens, which should always be the first place to be updated, he just needs to copy the same message he puts on Discord to Patreon, if he can't do that, why would anyone think he will finish the game.

Again, after knowing what the dev posted on Discord and this site, I'm pretty sure he will go back to work on the game after a break and nothing will have happened, but he probably lost quite a few followers for something that could've been avoided by just taking 10 minutes to log in to Patreon and post something, I might be pushy about this, but that's because I feel like a lot of devs don't take this seriously enough, and it's for a lot of people, a red flag, and an automatic ignore, or at least will make it so they won't consider supporting.

This game has been quite well received on Steam. With the money he made there, not too sure if Patreon is a big concern for him right now. Steam has certainly bankrolled an extensive "break" if he so chooses.

You explain it from your point of view, for the dev, if notifying on discord is enough, that's how it will be, if he loses followers it's his problem, your way of how you think he should treat his patrons and the way he thinks about how he should treat them are different, those who have the right to complain are their patreon and from what I read they have done it by message on patreon and got their response.

F95 is more than anything a means to advertise and start to be known, once a fan base is secured, many developers forget the page where they started and only focus on their official pages.

What's with this game and kicking doors open?

What's with this game and kicking doors open?

Just part of the humor I'd guess, I personally love it

 

[GeppettoPossum]

Crazy that this is still listed as Abandoned when the Dev himself came in here saying he was just taking a break. At least put it in On Hold status ffs.

You are under the false impression that reasonability and the recognition and acknowledgement of mistakes are part of the culture here.

Once the abandoned tag is applied, it can only be removed after dev release a new game update.
If he had announced in his patreon he was taking a break and game will be on hold for some time, then the on hold tag will be applied. But instead, he just decided drop silent without any warning or announce and that's the result. Reaping what he sowed, i guess

I was playing this but going to put it on hold as it's been so long and may never get an update. So threw it into a maybe folder. I'm not going to waste anymore time on a game that may never get an update.

Thank you so much for sharing I was waiting all day with bated breath for you to tell us about how you're not going to play the game

 

[elsanna_iduna]

Well to be honest, this game is starting to feel as abandoned as the tag suggests. Holding on to hope, but only a little. Dev's updates hold little value as I've witnessed time and time again. Please be the exception to the rule Mundo.

As a game dev...well, I've experienced this to the point I might get PTSD from it

 

[sorco2003]

In all seriousness, I am okay with game creator taking a break and all, but why not to put "On-Hold" tag, if they are planning to continue with the game?

Because there was never notice of the break until last month on Discord, and if there is no official communication through Patreon/SS F95 assumes that after the three months of silence it is abandoned (as the rules say).

 

[sorco2003]

Yeah, I understand that, but why didn't the game creator itself put "On-Hold" tag? Can only the moderators do that?

That's what I mean, if Mundo had warned that there was going to be an extended break, the tag would have been "on hold", and in the case of this thread only the mods can make modifications (the ownership of the thread is no longer Mundo's).

The dev from the game Stranded Dick hasnt said one thing since September and somehow, that game got put 'on hold' and this one was 'abandoned'.

If putting 'on hold' is something the dev requests, then how did that game get the 'on hold' tag and not abandoned as aggressively as this one was?

Who knows, Stranded Dick actually has that a new version is released with no links in the Patreon post so it's even worse...

Different Mods, different takes?

Lots of inconsistency across the site.

Well, the way things are looking the game might actually be abandoned.

 

[paulkim]

Another abandoned game for me.

 

[Max-Payne]

This game was the funniest and the hottest one at the same time. Why the fuck it's abandoned all of sudden?
