VN Ren'Py Abandoned Corruption Time [v0.03c] [FilthySloth]

[Trono-10]

Dev disappeared.
Few things to note though :

1. Sloth was open about the gmae being a learning project for him, and warned that there was no guarantee he'd keep going until he had a full game.
2. Last news we had was in the middle of the worst of tne pandemic. Something about bad news for his families. We don't know any more (which is fair, it's his personal, provate life).
3. He dissapeared shortly after that and didn't give any news since.

We are a few thinking he might have had really bad problems and simply dropped the game because he didn't have the time or heart to keep going. That's entirely fair.

Absolutely true and fair ... buuut the one thing that bothers me the most is the fact that any time I've checked the dev's F95 profile it always says "Last seen online: Today".
I can't blame him for discontinuing the game, he wasn't monetizing it and he has no account to give regarding his private life. It's just that considering that he still logs on regularely 1 "Hey I'm gonna stop developping the game thx & bye" would have been nice.
I'm not expecting anything by now it's just frustrating is all, even more so considering the originality of the game.

While you're not wrong, might be that he just put the thread on mute back then and forgot about it since. He didn't promise anything nor was he taking money, so he's got no responsabilities to speak of.
Wouldn't be the first dev who goes back to being a simple user, either.

... If that was the case, Sloth would have taken money for the game. He never did.

several users have posted on sloth's wall regarding corruption time already, its unlikely they "forgot". unless all notifications are turned off.

i have a fear the dev lost close family and broke.

That is what I was implying in my post.

 

[Gerardo Nardo]

I miss slotty...I just can't get past the idea that it really corrupted our time .

Any way...I am happy that there's evidence of logging in, as it is a chance of reading any of it, and convince enough to do 1 final release and have full closure.

That would be so nice. So many bad games out there and only a few with good Loli Content. It makes me so sad.

I think that too many people are starting to forget about F95's general rule number 7:

Content (a game, image, video, story, animation, etc.) depicting nudity, sexualization or sexual/erotic activity involving prepubescent character(s) is prohibited. A "prepubescent character" is one that visually shows no sign of puberty, or if non-visual is otherwise clearly intended to represent a prepubescent character. 2D and 'unrealistic' depictions are generally looked upon more favorably. As this involves some discretion, if you are unsure ask a Staff Member.

1. This includes translations, bug fixes, etc for banned content.

I would add rule number 9:

Any AI-generated content that resembles minors or teens is absolutely prohibited.

It's discrimination !

 

[fulcrum]

It's discrimination !

its self protection. they dont want this kind of stuff here for several reasons involving law enforcement.
and its explicitely speaking of characters i would consider pre-lolita to begin with. in the nabokov definition at least.

Sadly what I assume too.

I wish Filthy all the best. And if he does read these threads (Since he logs in daily), I hope he knows we support whatever he's going through. we'd love him to continue the game. But never at the cost of his health, mental health

Hello.
This game is close to my heart as well.
I'd like to try to continue his game and bring it to the finale, but in the face of fan development.
However, I don't know what engine (and I'm sure it's an engine) he used to create the characters and scenes.
The graphics he used are not unique. I've seen both pictures and videos (hentai) with these graphics. It is similar to the Koikatsu engine graphics. There is something in common.
If any of you know what engine and editors the developer used, I'd be glad if you could tell me.

From the first post in this thread:

his game is rendered in Blender using a custom semi-flat NPR shader, whilst many of the assets are originals (because I'm a masochist) the characters and clothing are converted from DAZ3d.

From the first post in this thread:

Thanks.
I would like a continuation of the story. If the author doesn't mind.
There is no problem with the artistic part of the text, but the visual part...

 

[Trono-10]

Yeah the whole "why doesn't someone pick up where the dev left off?" is nice in theory but it's a lot more complicated than that in practice. Unless the dev shares his production pethods in details it's hard to follow up. Even then changing lead will most likely mean losing a lot of the original personality of the game. If the changes are drastic enough it can get some hardcore fans more enclined to send threats than thanks.
I really wish there was a way to bring this game back but considering how unique it was I doubt anyone could manage to capture the same vibe and feel even given the assets.

Serenity Life If you really want to do something in the same vein as this game, I'd recomend trying out something with your own style in it. Of course you can inspire yourself from this game and pay hommage to it but I'm not sure it would be doable to try to "continue" it.

I agree completely. And creating these VNs is a tone of work, so if you don't have the exact same assets etc... It would be very difficult to continue the same game. Would be easier to start fresh and new, maybe creating another game with the same Idea.

Hello.
Thank you for your feedback and support. You are certainly right in your reasoning, and we should at least be able to contact the original author to run the story the way he intended. But what if we want to pay homage to the game and the author's work? Does the game have to be a copy of the original idea? We can just tell the story as we see fit.
Some may disagree with me, but does the story have to be so unique that you can't find similar ones?
In my opinion, it turned out to be a classic family drama with a happy ending.
And as for the characters, there is indeed uniqueness in them. But again, question: what good story has cute characters that don't make you smile? I think there are plenty of visual novels with unique characters.
It's not impossible to find them. I just suggest relying on our senses and emotions. Perhaps someone has already interacted with the author and knows more and can share ideas.
My suggestion is to try to create a fan project as similar to the original as possible.
---------------
I already have a project, it's in the writing process. But it's science fiction and detective.
Except I don't have a designer, I'll have to learn it all myself (I'm more of a writer and musician than a 3D designer.)

This game had great potential, I wish this guy would pop back in and publish a new update, dev please respond.

It had three updates and there hasn't been a peep for almost a year, I wouldn't hold your breath. It was pretty much over before it even started. The dev said they had no set schedule and it was just them trying so I guess it wasn't for them in the end.

Last bleep from the dev was personal issues. Given that it happened during the worst Covid times... Lets just leave the guy in peace.

Are there any other games with this art style? This is one of my favorite games.
