Ren'Py Abandoned Chimera: Bloodlines - Season 1 [v0.2] [FunDi]

[Deleted member 2282952]

Just read the new reviews, ouch xD

Well, it's a good thing that it looks like the new update will address most of the issues/requests - I should be able to publish the v0.2 tomorrow - just finishing up some action and character scenes in prison/apartment.

The same version will go out to Steam as a Demo.

I hope y'll all enjoy it, I spent a lot of time refining stuff and introducing lots of content, especially since it's my first adult title on Steam, and I want to make the first release count.

At some point, I kinda entered a spiral of writing a scene, rendering - hating the result, redoing, etc. - which def impacted the speed a lot.

I like where everything is going - let's see what everyone else thinks. At the very least, it's more or less the game I wanna make (just not large enough to be fully satisfied). Everything else is secondary to me tbh, except for good feedback, which is present throughout this thread.

Anyways - it should be fun. Dropping some peeks:

Hi everything is good ? And the update is still for tomorrow ?

 

[Simulacrum29]

Why are the devs interesting games always prone to shitty choices?
Sandbox and asking the Patreons for kinks? Sorry but that game will probably go nowhere.

Hey all! I just updated the thread with the v0.2 version of the game - it took me 1.5 months, and more Python than I've ever written! I hope everyone enjoys it, at least a little!

I wanted to ensure that Day 1 of Chimera: Bloodlines gets done, but this went outside of the scope that a solo developer with an irl job like myself can realistically create.

I've written a detailed public post with the precise reasoning why I'm halting the development and moving on to I SCREAM if anyone is interested:

You must be registered to see the links

In short, the main reason - I've done way too much lore & world-building, and with how many characters there are, the exciting charage and sex content became too difficult to integrate organically into the story. In addition to the Sandbox taking a really long time to code, whenever I write anything.

In any case, I think the v0.2 version isn't bad, and I'm satisfied enough to publish it on Steam, too.

If anyone here enjoyed my game - I am now starting a more realistically scoped adult game called I SCREAM. You can learn more about it here: https://f95zone.to/threads/i-scream-fundi-games-game-dev-journal.177782/
​

Thank you, everyone, so much - I really love the discussions on this forum - it helped my dev process a lot!

Warmly,
FunDi Games.

Serious question, is this "on hold" until you find more time or acquire more help or is it "on hold" potentially moving to "abandoned" over time, just curious as it would be nice to get an idea of where this project will end up in the future. I enjoyed the first version and was going to play v0.2 but if it's on hold to potentially not be updated again I'd rather not get invested in the story, so I and likely many others kindly await your response on this subject.

 

[vs2011xyz]

so this game is put on Hold right now. greta HOW DARE YOU

well this is a bunch of S...t...u can't tease your patron and gamers with an intriguing story and lore just to put it on hold! that's why U SHOULDN'T WOK ON MORE THAN 1 GAME AT TIME....WAS SO DIFFICUTL TO FINISH ONE AND THAN START THIS ONE?? BAH..AND STOP WITH THOSE POOL ON PATREON ASKING WHAT THEY WANT...THIS WILL SCREW YOUR GAME 99 OUT OF 100 FOR SURE..and maybe drop the damn sandbox too , will be easy and , for me , much apprechiated for example

 

[GoldenEyeDrake]

Damn, the game is already being put on hold? The project just started. What a letdown.

So this game is like the trial run of creating AVN? And the focus of the dev will be shifted to his other game? Just asking

"Q: "What happened with Chimera: Bloodlines?"
SPOILER

1. The game's ambitious scope, featuring 22 characters, proved challenging for a solo developer, especially when striving for meaningful character dynamics.
2. The sandbox system required an inordinate amount of coding time. For every hour spent writing, I found myself dedicating 1-2 hours to coding—adjusting variables, interfaces, and more. As scenes accumulated, coding demands spiraled.
3. The core of what I wanted was an adult game emphasizing character relationships. However, Chimera's narrative became heavily entangled in world-building, limiting my ability to shift its focus.
4. I believe in integrating sex scenes only where they naturally fit the storyline. Chimera's expansive lore made it hard to incorporate these scenes organically, and I couldn’t turn back.

Despite its challenges, I'm genuinely pleased with what I accomplished in Chimera: Bloodlines v0.2. In fact, I'm in the process of getting it listed as a demo on Steam.

Drawing from the lessons and skills I've gained, I'm confident that "I SCREAM" will reflect a higher caliber of craftsmanship. I genuinely hope that my dedicated patrons will continue this journey with me. Your support fuels my commitment to delivering quality work that foregrounds the narrative, reducing the need for exhaustive coding.

Yeah no, that sounds more like abandoned for the new project not "on hold"

Yep same thoughts i had, not gonna play this devs games til he finishes something now

 

[Tyrranus]

cant say Im surprised but Im also still very disappointed. The new one sounds interesting but far less so than chimera was looking to be.

'on hold' sounds like an optimistic joke tho if Im honest. Im betting 'abandoned' would be more realistic

 

[Wolfeszorn]

First off, i agree with the previous posters. Asking the users about their prefered kinks is one of the worst ideas ever. Create your own story, not a story that´s catered towards a special audience.


Sadly though i probably won´t support you. I just don´t trust devs that put their project on hold after just 2 releases cuz they want to work on a different project. chimera was pretty interesting so far, but i´m glad i waited a bit and dodged a bullet there.
