RPGM Abandoned Aylia's Story [v0.11] [YummyTiger]

[Master Mirror]

It's funny you claim I've got mental issues (which I'm sure I do)

I've never claimed something like that about you. Someone wrote something similar directing to me just because I was criticising the progression. It was just an answer to them.

Anyways, I don't want to get into pointless arguments anymore. So I will just keep watching this game as I do for the other games. I can only hope for this game to be released fully in the future even if I don't believe slightest bit...

 

[hejiahuan]

im not a patron, i was hesitating if i should pay for the game..... well let me predicte, next release will contain: 50 cgs redone, alot if dialogues rewritten, and 5mn of new content......

btw man, i don't have the right to complain since i didn't pay for your game, but i still have one big question in my head: WHY THE F**K ARE YOU REDOING CGS AGAIN AND AGAIN????????? PPL OUT THERE ONLY WANT TO SEE SOME REAL ''VISIBLE'' PROGRESSION! WHAT'S THE POINT OF REWRITTING THE DIALOGUES AGAIN AND AGAIN? WHICH BROUGHT YOU SO MUCH CRITISM? YOU KNOW CLEARLY THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO CONVINCE EVERYONE THAT YOU ARE COMMITTED TO FINISH THE GAME, MOST PEOPLE DON'T GIVE A F**K TO SOME BUGS OR TRANSLATION ERRORS, THEY WILL ONLY ASK YOU FOR A FIX VERSION THAT'S ALL.

when i see someone complaining in this forum i would like to tell em to shut the f**** up, but this game as i followed for much a long time , still in the prologue phase......... Holy i don't know what to say, just wake up man and release some real shit, who cares about your old cgs? I mean they are already outstanding af, just move on pleeeeeeeeeease, and i will be happy to pay for your updates.

You can wake up someone who's asleep, but not the person who's pretending to be asleep. Hope you are not the last one.

Good day.

While I agree with you that people really need to back the hell off on YT cause he's actually doing something even if over all game progression is moving at a snails pace because he's reworking things, the fact of the matter is he's seeking perfect in an early stage, which the only game that comes to mind that kept doing that was Duke Nukem Forever, Most times it's better to form a rough shape and then refine and hone to perfection. Rather then to aim for perfect at ever little step of the way.

so while I think the backlash against YT is overblown and quite frankly undeserved since it's neither a kick starter or a go fund me (seriously folks go read Patreon's Terms of Service before you hound him.) I do think there is some justification in people being irritated with him, as he's doing a very non traditional and which often results in failure development route. but it's his choice on which development route he takes as he is the publisher and the developer. also it wouldn't kill him to stop antagonizing people who go past the realm of criticism to straight attacks, there's a plethora of ways to deal with individuals like that which avoids spurring the flames. Regardless of what he does he'll always end up with criticisms & opinions because just like assholes everyone has them.

we also have to remember that Western Porn games actually have a sped up dev cycle do to the fact most use pre-made assets and engines which are generally time consuming if they weren't pre-made. So even if we gave YT the traditional 4-7 year development cycle the fact he's not even half way is a cause for alarm, but rather then hounding him because you are passionate about the story he's weaving. it's better to do as YT instructed and just step away and forget about it. because regardless of how good the quality he makes it, if it's so late that its out of touch, irrelevant or, just simply won't meet other's expectations.

regardless fans should either be patient and supportive while offering beneficial critiques or just go an hiatus on following development as it seems YT has no interests in changing his pacing, or dealing with zealous fans. Just be happy it isn't Firefall.

What is going to happen now? YT proclaimed that he'd shut his Patreon page down if he can't make it by end of March.

It's probably done. I'm posting a warning today about my page and I'm going to do some reflecting on whether this is what I want to do. I set March as a all-or-nothing month, and if I can't get a release out with that, then there is something legitimately fucked up. The passion/drive is not there, it's been worn down over the years and I need to reboot. I created Aylia's Story beginning with no Patreon, no expectations, I need to get back to that if it's ever going to find a finish line. 3 years of expectations and what the game "should" be bear down to the point that I make no substantial progress.

Thanks for your interest, and I'll only be back if I'm ready to work. Bye.

 

[al_dude]

It's good that you are considering to walk away. 3 years with so little progress means it's not working out anyway. Why stressed over something that won't work?

 

[Warlan]

The Patreon won't be deleted. Release is already in the hands of a few patrons, it'll be out for patrons later this week.

What happened to this?

Hmm, good luck with whatever you do next. After 3 years, I doubt anyone would truly be satisfied with what you bring out. It'd be advisable just to walk away and refund money IMO.

 

[BigHairy]

why would people want him to quit? I don't understand. you advise him to quit? thats just stupid. don't quit unless you want to. I'll be happy with whatever you decide to releese. and refund what money? He doesn't collect money, no?

 

[Lorric17]

@BigHairy Yeah, some of the posts above are unnecessary and spiteful. Reminded me of a quote: All bastards are bastards, but some bastards is bastards. Bonus internets to you if you know where it's from

He hasn't collected any money, that's true. While the hunter's translation was a pledge and was a great thing to have, he kept on giving out release dates for Aylia's Story when multiple people have told him not to. This is because of the track record of what happened over the course of 3 years, which has annoyed/angered people. Even with the reboot, which was supposed to be a new beginning, he just doesn't have the passion he once had, which he even said in a post.

*shrugs* It's an hentai game on the internet, what do you expect? A lot of people had hopes for the game and the patreon was over 10k at one point which is now down to 8k. While his "No money will be charged until a major release." is a good model and such, it just sucks when a promise from someone slowly loses value. Which, unfortunately, even YummyTiger sees. Hell, I had high hopes for the game as well, but I just check in every few months to see what has happened now.

 

[Delmach]

Its a spiteful world we live in, and even more so when it comes to the internet. But im wondering about the people on this thread, as they are probably those that are/were at some point interested in the game, and artstyle. How many games from western developers in this style do we have, that its fair to bash a single person trying to deliver more of the content that we want, to purposefully stomp the motivation of a person that wants/wanted to deliver something to your likes. (or you are just here because you like to vent out on the internet, wouldnt say thats a better option though)

Because, I do know of the games that are similiar, the ones that we have that are finished, that arent just japanese ones translated, and those are the very, very few that are repeated over and over when it comes to naming games. So maybe reflect on when to drop napalm on something that might grow into something great, even when it takes time.

come on, it is not 1 april? i suspected this, and in his patron theres a "

Objectively speaking, the issue with YT and some of his Patreons as well as other supporters (such as myself) is not about money but principle.

He has made a lot of promises that weren't kept, so some asked him not to make deadlines and take it easy (On Patreon mostly). Whenever people said that, it seemed to encourage him to make even bolder promises.


I think the Feb release promise got a little too hot. I did specifically told him to not to make any promises and just take it easy, then he proclaimed that he'd close his Patreon if he failed to make Feb release in March.

And here we are; he missed yet another deadline and broke yet another promise.

Of course, it doesn't help that the game has about 15 minutes of content after 3 years. Supposed Feb-release was going to be "a major update", meaning he was planning to charge Patreons.
Well, I don't know what's going on anymore at this point.

 

[Warlan]

So the game is now officially on hold?

Thats what you get guys whit being negative to him
