You confound the lies of RAInces with the lies of Zip! even though there are some similarities, like almost all of the gameplay Zip took from Rain, it's clear that Zip is a different guy, there's a different style, a less inspired story, etc.

Do you know the first version from 2015? Then you surely know that the design changed every few years… logically after 9 years… of course, the developer also understands what his customers wanted in the last 9 years. That's exactly what the programmer is playing with… it is now possible to do more evil things… that is due to the influence of games that have been released in recent years… In fact, Zip - RAinces. When Zip was still called Axe and released the first version of his game, everywhere, exclusively RAinces was linked, only RAinces Patreon in the game. Someone spends weeks building new gameplay and doesn't put their name on it? Hmm, questionable. Back when RAinces was online for the last time, Zip was born… RAinces was online again by then but not for over a year and on the last online day, Zip was registered anew. Both were always on vacation at the same time… both tell the same lies… both build the game… where things are hinted at but never reached… that's why the game has many fans. Minimal effort with maximum payment. Where RAinces lives, the profit is more than a month's rent. In addition to his regular job. He only released one major update in the last 9 years. If you understand how DAZ works and how quickly supercomputers can now generate images, that you can also simply rent supercomputers… that a new image can be created within 5 minutes with some practice. Maximum 10 minutes for an image if it's the same scene. You just move the person within the scene. New position and done. The work is always only for the first image of the scene. The animations were always very simple. I can do that for you with AI in 15 minutes.

I agree with every word you say - 100%. I saw similar parallels in what was happening.

Não sei...

# You may be on to something here but nobody's sure:

- I do suspect Zip and RA are the same person but can we tell for sure? ( if he can't/doesn't want to finish the original game, why bother creating a totally different persona/artwork? Multiple streams? idk). He'd be more effective working harder on the original

- In Axeman's early versions only RA's Patreon appeared probably because all its material was RA's. Once he started adding his own he's put his own link (of another game of his).

- As for DAZ and supercomputers ( render farms ), has anyone tried it? Is it worth it (cost wise)? I'd be reluctant myself... A decent pc would take a bit longer but it'd do the job.

(rendering with AI) If you or anyone else are that skilled plz consider making a BBS version yourselves. The fans will follow. The demand is there, all you need is to supply...

I think the worst thing could be if he will be delayed until the holiday season because it seems that despite his promises he is not working on the game during them, so we may see the next updates as early as spring (in the best case)!

O mal disto tudo é só haver um dev....

# I still think the problem here is depending entirely on Zip to get the game moving.

The delay would be taken as something normal/natural if there was someone else filling the gap. Not saying he's put on the spot for no reason ( his broken promises and game stalling prompt the bashing ) but that he's too much on the spotlight because he's the only one.

There used to be 4 of them. Where are they? Nobody else steps forward? Damn...
