VN Ren'Py Abandoned Acquainted [Ch. 1 v0.1.0] [Yuno Gasai]

[allanl9020142]

So this game will be biting the dust soon too...

Man so much of these AVN where people are all like "man the renders are awesome" and "all the girls are hot" end up getting abandoned 90% of the time,

Offcuts
Reincarnotica
Corruption time
Chains of Pleasure
Areas of Gray
AOA academy
Come Inside
Rise to the top (best sex scene animations of any VN I've seen)

These are just some of the ones I remember

This game is also most likely ending up Abandoned in 2 months.

I just hope Summer Heat and Red Lucy don't end up in this Abandoned graveyard.

Also Primal Instinct and the other one that dev abandoned. Although, he was pretty upfront about it. "I want x amount of Patreon supporters or I'm going to stop" or something along those lines.
Nah I don't think Summer Heat or Red Lucy will end up like that. That's just people overreacting about increasing dev times between each update. It's always good to have some skepticsm but they're still pretty far off from showing telltale signs of a dev just checking out.

 

[allanl9020142]

The solution there, is don't release ANYTHING until you have substantive content, vs a proof of concept.

Well yea, duh. Lol. Still, I could argue most devs want to just put out what they have and gauge interest so they can decide whether to continue. It'd be a bitch if you put years into something for it to just flop with nothing to show for it. Not saying it's a sound idea but I'm just guessing the reasoning.

I understand that, but to ex[pect people to support you with monthly donatiopns "for years", for a single title that probably stand about a 90% statistic shot at being abandon, is patently absurd. A meager $5/m in support = $60/yr for what? 4 years? $240 for a title that most likely will never be finished? I dont follow why any consumer would pay that, for what is had in return.

 

[1tomadeira]

The game has had 1 release. I don't know what would even qualify as a hot take other than maybe "this game's visuals are shit". (No I don't actually believe this)

Either that or "This game is never seeing the finish line" (wouldn't surprise me if this happens)

IMO the only thing this game has going for it so far is the fantastic visuals. But again, it's only had 1 release, so who knows.

It was a long time ago since I've played this, but I don't recall if I only had 1 release when playing it though.

Will your game be updated or is this project abandoned?

 

[hydrang3a]

Will your game be updated or is this project abandoned?

Here's the most recent progress report, renders aren't finished and coding hasn't started so I wouldn't expect an update soon.

Despite my previous messages being gloomy about the game, I wish the dev the best and hope real-life gets better so development goes as the dev intends.

Hey there

Will keep this one brief.

I'm still not at the finish line, and it's not a great feeling knowing you won't be able to deliver on time
Last month, I completed approximately 50 additional renders and post-processed around 75. However, there hasn't been much progress on the coding front.

As for the release date, I had initially mentioned May, but since it has already passed, I won't commit to a new specific date just yet. I would like to hear your thoughts on whether it would be fair to pause the Patreon support, considering that I still don't have a final release date to share. Please let me know your thoughts in the comments section.

On another note, I've attached Kos's customs from last month to keep you guys umm........ occupied?

as always, my DMs are open.

Until next time *waves*
Take care!

XO.

Progress! Awesome.

 

[otronegro]

I know this guys brand is excellent renders quality and he's certainly talent on that regard but as per his last report if he can put out only 50 renders a month then this project is hopeless and he should go back to custom renders or other forms of making money because this will take 30 years to complete.

We are on the first release and he's already talking about pausing pledges, it's not sustainable for him or subscribers to keep up like this.

What's the first, most exciting thing that hooks people to this game?

The discussion keeps going.

Yea I for sure get that. On Patreon, you're not really donating to a specific game and it's more like you're donating for the dev/artist's "vision". That foundation is too iffy for me personally for me to just go ahead and do that.

I feel pretty conflicted about Patreon. It was a shaky idea of crowd-funding creators in perpetuity that I really don't think was supposed to be scaled to an entire business model. I believe in the purest sense it was supposed to be "I like what this person does, I want to show support in some direct monetary fashion so this person can keep doing it" that bypassed merchandise sales or ad revenue and directly "contributed" funds to the creator. Sounds great on paper but ... idk. Once you see people just raking in thousands or in rare cases hundreds of thousands of dollars, it's hard for people not to see it as some product to be exchanged for money. It's a system that gave more freedom to the creator but at the same time was made a little distorted once people made entire business models off of it. At that point, it stops being "patron" and "artist" and rather "consumer" and "product". It's a lot of blurred lines and I'm not a fan of that.

Which is why I just try to establish a clear line in the sand myself and that's only for devs who I like and deliver bangers on a consistent basis. Just read my other reply to the other guy, I don't feel like writing it out again.

 

[mrbigchungus]

Good call...can't wait to see what happens when the dev rereleases their next update.

For me it was that I found every character model to be attractive. There was not one I didn't find visually appealing. (Except maybe the streamer character) Especially Paris. Even if this game never gets another update this year, she gets Bad Bitch of The Year award just based off the character model. I mean damn, Yuno definitely has a sense for what's aesthetically pleasing for most guys. It's like over the years, he just gathered information on what people like, "Hmm yes I see: long hair pushed back, freckles, dark red hair, pouty lips, looking-right-through-you model stare"

Other than that, the MC didn't seem like the regular spineless character with 2 brain cells to rub together. As for the female characters, you could definitely say this is just some unrealistic fantasy where every female character wants to hop on the MC's dick but on the flipside you usually just get a bunch of teasing and leading on where the MC is just being pushed around. You could say that at least these characters show clear interest in the MC and they just fucking go for it.

Yuno promised me a futa LI.............

 

[Kas96]

Wow what a pretty logical argument going on! I think I've said it before, you guys might have missed it, he took 1.5 yrs to develop the first version, i read it in server and that was long time ago. The problem he is facing right now is he can't balance the work flow and the upcoming result going to be horrible. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

 

[mrbigchungus]

Man, if the LI is gonna be a Futa when it wasn't before...yeah, I'm probably out.

 

[Ilhares]

Ah man, I'm still kind of disappointed about that one. Still the best overall VN by leaps and bounds (my opinion) but I just don't think I'll ever be as excited about it as I was before ep 9.

you clearly havent played leap of faith. go play it right now and see if you can say the same thing.

I have played both. LoF was a good game, but it doesn't rank as high for me. Maybe because I don't care for Cece or most of the others, they just don't push my buttons right. Unfortunately for BaDIK, virtually all enthusiasm I had for it was killed by the one-two punch combo of the interlude and chapter 9 taking so much dev time for what feels essentially like one giant freeroam with very little substance. It has some, but nothing to justify how long it took to be released.

And DPC has the added problem of having made several of the side girls far more interesting and appealing than the main LI cast.

Don't get me wrong but it's really funny to see all the whining in a piracy forum about the speed of devs. I know, I know, everybody pays their share to the devs. Sure... If the work isn't worth the pay, just stop to pay. Where's the problem?

I don't pay Disney, but I was still pissed it took over 20 years to get a goddamn Tron sequel. And then instead of following up on an excellent plot point for a third one, they stuffed it back in the closet and forgot it existed.


Sure, Yuno is taking a while and that kinda sucks, but the results are almost always spectacles of joy, he planted enough seeds of interest in one single release that people are antsy waiting for more. That's something many devs can't manage even after half a dozen releases.

 

[Brannon]

Umm so what would you say your completion rate is? Just wanted to check up and see if it will be 3 months or more so I can put this on my "look at in" list.

The completion rate is .... Yes.


We only know that allegedly the development is going forward, but we have no overview on how much is ready, planned or when the possible release date is.

is the latest progress report and we don't know anything beyond that.

Albeit activity on the discord occasionally he is relatively silent about the game.

 

[RandomGuy99]

If the release window is one episode per year, people will lose interest no matter how nice the art and story is. Thank god i didnt support this

 

[StingerWolf]

So this game will be biting the dust soon too...

Man so much of these AVN where people are all like "man the renders are awesome" and "all the girls are hot" end up getting abandoned 90% of the time,

Offcuts
Reincarnotica
Corruption time
Chains of Pleasure
Areas of Gray
AOA academy
Come Inside
Rise to the top (best sex scene animations of any VN I've seen)

These are just some of the ones I remember

This game is also most likely ending up Abandoned in 2 months.

I just hope Summer Heat and Red Lucy don't end up in this Abandoned graveyard.

I wouldn't put AOA in the same chategory as those. It had quite some releases. How the dev disappeared was not your typical abandoning as well. I really hope this game does not get onto that list.
