Isn't the dev working on some other game now?
Well, he is working on a new game to sponsor development on this one... idk man, doesnt sound promising lol
Thats the game people like and donated to him for.. so the money-flow gets only lower with time, and making a full new game will take a lot of time, and it may even not sustain itself, left alone sponsor other game.. just sounds too unrealstic to work out.

I think with this game it had nothing to do with money, the dev just got stuck in art-block, high expectations and such. Maybe just got tired of the concept. And thats why development stalled to non-existent. Well, at least it looks like it from my own game-dev experience. And i dont think there is a good way out of this, unless maybe he gets a producer or something, and since he didn't do it even after all this time, i doubt he ever will

But, its all just my head-canon. I dont think the dev said much on this

0.6.5.1 Images & gifs rip:

If someone can help and extract audio files, feel free. I couldn't do it, i guess they are compressed with zlib or something and can't be directly gathered
The audio is just a bunch of .oggs packed into the dandy_audio.bin file, binwalk failed me on this task but a project called OGG-Extractor on Github seems to have no trouble pulling them out.

How do you start a new game when you don't have money to "produce" the one you're currently making? And who rents an office to make a niche porn game?

So yeah, in the latest version you can enable easy mode, get max relationships in cheats menu and go straight to Missy to see the scene, instead of grinding fossils for hours. At last, relationships system actually does something in the game (though only with access to cheats lol). I dont think it ever matters anywhere else :/
wait you can do that? i had on easy mode and used cheats but thought relationship was worthless... i spent hours digging for nothing lol

he probably bought an office bc he has a whole family and kids iirc (i think he mentioned it in twitter in the past but dont quote me)
either way, he doesnt seem to at all be smart with his development.... but he is still hinting about dandy though

Thanks for the info! I don't really know anything about this topic, just love this game and wanted to do some digging. And yeah, everything i tried didn't work. So will definitely give a try to things you mentioned!

Yeah, i kinda get why you may want to rent an office to work, even if it's just you. I myself work from home and it's so hard to focus most of the time, it's just unproductive atmosphere all over the place. Even without kids and stuff, lol. But yeah, overall his money spending seems pretty questionable (from what i heard)

it's literally the only place i know where relationships matter lol
maybe he just made her content so long ago when he still actually wanted to use this system and never revisited it, so thats why it works lol

I really hate how he completely removed old Melissa bj animation. It was really nice. The new one is.. yeah, i get what he was trying to achieve and it's fine to have variety and unique stuff like this, but still it looks kinda silly and why remove the old one anyway... man, sometimes i really dont understand how the same person makes so great and so weird artistic decisions

He even deleted it from the files. Like there a lot of left overs there, so it's not like he cares about game size lol. No, he deliberately removed it completely
I just dont get it...
I mean, yeah, there are a lot of weird and bad decisions in the latest update, but it's just one of the silliest ones for me

Oh my, i guess i have to replay the old version again

It's a damn shame. This game had (and still has if they decide to retake it) huge potential, but they changed so much of the content and story that made it unique and interesting to appeal to the complainers, that it became just another generic harem game (with great art). But, putting personal preferences aside, I think their biggest mistake was trying to make this on their own handmade engine and use it as a showcase for said engine instead of relying on Unity or UE.

Edit #2:
My saves aren't compatible with 0.6.5, and honestly, with the feedback on this thread, I'm not too jazzed on playing the game over again until they rework the rework (lol). However, Kensis has posted a 100% save + Gallery, so if you are looking for that check out his post and give him a like, quoted below.


___________________________________________________________________________________

Edit: These saves are not compatible with 0.6 (to my chagrin). I have no current plans to play through the entire game again as of today, but that may change. I'll update this post with the 0.6 saves if I do. I also don't believe a save exists that starts with everything from 0.5.7 completed, but if one does please let me know.

Alright, finally finished this version, was pretty fun. Actually enjoy playing this as a game rather than just for the sex scenes (a controller/gamepad helps a ton).

Here's all my 0.5.7 save files and my 100% save with 59 Gallery images, all trading cards, all avatar viewers, and no cheats used (also all box puzzles solved). I created a save before every sex/lewd scene plus any other scenes/secret areas/story points I felt were important, and organized them into save sets. In this zip there are 4 save sets and a total of 115 saves.

To use the saves:
  1. Navigate to the save directory (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Skullgear\Dandy Boy Adventures on windows, will need to have "see hidden files" enabled)
  2. Make a backup of all the the files in here (these Dandy_#.bin are your saves, you can just put a folder in the directory and copy them to there. dandy_gallery.bin is the gallery save)
  3. extract the zip into this directory, you should see for folders named save set # and SaveGuide.txt
  4. Consult SaveGuide.txt to find the scene/save you are looking for (100% save is the last save in save set #4)
  5. Once you have found the scene, copy the correct save set # saves into the main save directory (where your saves were before) - don't cut, you want to preserve the saves in their folder
  6. Load up the game, the game should recognize the saves and run
  7. If you want to switch save sets, just copy the saves from a different save set folder and paste them over the previous saves in the main gallery - easy
This way the saves can be used as a pseudo-gallery, since the game doesn't have one. I'm also including an Info text document that I used to help me get 100% and find all the secrets in the game. I took all the useful posts and info I found on this forum and pasted it into this doc, then updated the info and added notes as I found out more. It isn't pretty, but you may find it helpful.
what that mean? nothing working

Was this his full time gig? If not: as a dev I'll say: this has 100% been the case of every side project I've ever started or worked on. When it stops being fun it reeeeaaaally gets hard to work on your passion project.

I was trying hard to become a full time indie for many years, and yep, thats what happened to most my projects too. Even if they weren't side projects and I pushed hard to finish them. I think you really need to have a right mindset and personality, and maybe a lot of other things lined up, to actually finish your own projects. Like even if your project is loved and brings you a lot of money, it doesn't guarantee anything sadly
