VN Ren'Py Abandoned But I'm the Bad Guy? [v0.081] [DLGB]

[thrashpoint]

Why does it say that it is abandoned, maybe the creator no longer uploaded it or those who upload it here?

I was holding out hope that the dev was just doing a 'patreon safe' game in order to be approved on subcribestar faster, but they seem to have wiped their discord clean of any trace of 'But I'm the Bad Guy' and are working on a new game that I think is called "My Husband Doesn't Know" with a new patreon link. RIP to a promising game, hopefully it can be revived one day.

As I understand it the dev didn't have anywhere to upload BITBG to paying subscribers at all even if they could identify and block leakers. Sites like f95 are also the only way many potential subscribers can find out about most AVN's in development so it wouldn't make sense to try and keep the game from being pirated.

I was checking his discord and judging by the new game's name. It is going to be some female protagonist BS. There are a few good games in that genre but in most cases those types of games are just about the female protag getting ran through by a bunch of guys. Maybe if I was a girl I would find that hot, I don't know. When I play those games I only go for the few girls that are available. I will probably not play it. It's sad because I really enjoyed this one.

SubsribeStar fucking sucks. End of story. It is a place where games go to die.

Subscribestar can be useful if it is the only payment platform that the dev has, as some games have already shown, if you give your audience the option to subscribe to patreon as well, then what do you want me to tell you... your SS will be most likely a failure.

Well it was a good run boys. I went back to playing this game and finding out that it's abandoned. but here's my hot takes on it.

Hot take #1: "Hailey is either immature or mentally retarded."

She's supposed to be in her teens and she acts like a child, let alone dresses like a child too. And her parents just sweeps it under the rug and make it seem like it's normal.

Hot take #2: "Oliver is a cuck and would want the MC to fuck his wife."

He even got a boner when the MC made a scenario about the milk man.

Hot take #3: "The MC has a DDLG fetish."

Not sayin' it's a bad thing, but it's kinda weird. He even stuck his dick into Hailey.

Would it be possible for the Dev to maybe start a new game and team up with another starting dev? Just search for the dev and who knows?

 

[loikl]

It can't be, another game with a decent MC and premises and ends up abandoned, while so many games with recycled and stupid ideas continue to be developed, how unfortunate.

Yeah the dev even scrubbed the discord, there's clearly no intention of going back to it in the future. Dev couldn't get it funded through SubscribeStar or Patreon and so pulled the plug. It's a big sad

Also I think you misunderstand "hot take" general observations aren't "hot takes" xD

About the Discord: of course he had to remove everything reminding of this game. He would risk again the new created Patreon since they check that and also the new game thread here on F95. That's maybe the reason why there isn't even a link from the new game thread to this one.

Huh. Soon porn games will be turned into the same sterile, vanilla, and uninteresting ****, that movies, TV shows, and regular games have already been turned into . And that's porn games, oxymoron. Sadly.

I mean, at the end of the day, that really is the intention behind it all. The only way to push back is to be a perverted as possible for free. I'm trusting the rest of you, my fellow degenerates, to keep fighting the good fight!

At least it can charge cards properly, Patreon doesn't work 90% of the time and you're waiting months beofre suddenly it'll charge your card again for a month then stop working.
Patreon sucks.

Hear, hear!
We're here! - We're degenerates (some probably queer)! - And we're not going anywhere!

Patreon sucks because of the content they are not allowing. But Subscribestar is only a bunch of moro.. anymore. No response if you want some help there. No payment ability for quite some countries (I tried at least four different credit cards, none was accepted). And as you can see with this dev no response since months for game developers trying to make a new page there either. That site was maybe an alternative some time ago, but now it's only a big mess.

 

[a4asshole]

as a newbie I am wondering, can the developer create his own site and enable transactions ?

That's not really the problem he's running into. It's all about payment processors - credit cards, bank transfers, paypal transfers, pre-paid credit cards or charged debit cards. Some site software handles CCs just fine, but few of the others. And a lot of people seem to use Patreon (Paypal) for it's alternate ways of adding funds. Other processors may not want to cover adult (or illicit entertainment type) transactions.

From what I understand, Patreon is cracking down as they're going public in the near future (?), and want to appear like they don't have any illicit content they're backing.

And there's of course the problem of independent website security. If you don't have a dedicated security person constantly updating the site/code (or an entire team), you put yourself and your subscribers at risk.

Personally I go for the Venmo option myself, and got a Venmo card to cover online stuff. I keep my regular CCs for daily and professional use.

There isn't currently a really easy option to get around the draconian Paypal issue that's safe and offers all the same payment options. It'd be nice to see SubscribeStar step up, get some more approved payment processing options, and allow the same unfiltered content it's always had.
