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

[MiltonPowers]

If that is an actual question, then no, no activity on Patreon since beginning of March. Not that he has many supporters left. Wonder if he is still charging them?

Yeah I was just curious if maybe things had changed. I followed him for a while but after it dried up I stopped, so have no way of knowing if he started doing the renders again after his March "It's not binned" post

There has been a couple of discord posts since March. One saying it was onhold, and then one last week saying "its not abandoned" & "sooner than you think".

There's a more than likely chance it becomes a death spiral where he releases an update, goes missing for a year, then releases another one and so on and so on.

Where's the problem?
Radiant “works” like this for years.

1 year later...I'm just glad I didn't get into these games til recently...

This was an interesting game. Always hate to see good projects get abandoned.

I read the earlier posts saying the dev is saying it's not abandoned, but the proof is in the pudding.

We'll see, I suppose. I do hope they come back.

a crownfunding for dev?

Wanna know how little the dev cares about this game/community? There's been a bot in the discord server for 2 days spamming the same Roblox server invite. I really doubt the validity of the statement said last month where the dev said that development will start sooner then expected. It's been a month since then, and no follow up to that statement.

It still could be sooner than expected if development was supposed to start again in 2035 .
But seriously, it is unfortunate, because I really liked this game. I am doing an end of the year scrub right
now of my old game links and the list of abandoned games is getting rather long . It is not looking too good.
A new AI game comes up every week which is okay, but a real quality game start up is getting more rare .

The developer is very eccentric (and who else could make such an eccentric game?), unfortunately this trait is poorly combined with the actual development and normal update schedule. The communication with the parties is also lame. Probably His Majesty just got bored with it. So we (commoners) can only humbly wait for his mood to change.

And what he says isn't relevant. Literally. It's not worth paying attention to.

I personally think:

• If a game is abandoned in the beginning - that means people did not like it or the developer could not keep up, etc.
• But if the game is almost finished (0.75) and then abandoned - it is always sad. People always think "why not to finish it - only a few releases left and if necessary the developer can take some break and then continue", because everybody wants to the the end of the story.

Mundo Games - we all really hope that you will come back some day and finish this amazing story!

But if the game is almost finished (0.75)

And here we go again... That's not how versions work! It's not a percentage! Version 0.75 doesn't mean it's three quarters done! Versions go from 0.9 to 0.10 to 0.11! Which means it was completely possible it went to 0.125 and still there wouldn't have been an end in sight.

(…) Which means it was completely possible it went to 0.125 and still there wouldn't have been an end in sight.

It could even evolve into v0.95.4f, if they began making iterative small changes.
