Ren'Py Abandoned Deathable [v0.3.7] [Meorless]

[HELIO CESAR]

I didn't follow the dev other platforms but my bet is that bro got stuck and bailed hard from this, the project was too big, from the get go a bunch of systems like wardrobe and items, and way to many branchable patches.
a plot about a demon girl.
Patches with GF that could go fwb, exclusive, cheating on her and probably NTR.
Patches with sister that could go with being catch molesting her or not.
Patches of corruption with the mother or more romanceable that seemed pretty hard to write with the way dad was involved in the story.
Cheating with the GF best friend or not.

And it seems it would had at least one more branch with the male friend and a battle system? sheesh

These are what i remember at least, pretty hard to write a story with so many things, hope guy is safe and at some point drops with a rework that makes it more viable, i was loving the possible sister route after she catches the protagonist molesting her.

 

[samanseems]

I don't even know him but I hope he's okay and I know there will be a void in my mind until the day he shows up.

I was one of his first backers for the VN, and I suggested to him very early on to avoid adding additional cumbersome layers to it, such as inventory and "free roam mechanics," as it was his first experience building a game. He had primarily drawn comics before.
Unfortunately, an original art piece and a somewhat decent story were killed so quickly due to his stubbornness.
Dude "bit more than he could chew," as they say.

 

[ddtmm]

feature creep is the death of a lot of games

Dude "bit more than he could chew," as they say.

Should've done like Will Smith. He bites more than he can chew, then he chews it.

Sad to hear this GEMerald may never be finished. But I think you guys are right, all of these big ideas, it was scope creep. The guy didn't know if he wanted to make a visual novel or RPG Fuck-or-Fight shit with magic elements and a map system.

The truth is, you can do anything on Ren'Py, but it's hard as fuck. The Skyrim inventory system, combat system, minimap, magic, money system... bro tried to make something revolutionary and failed miserably, but props for having tried.

 

[Sir Weshmish]

Truly unfortunate. The game had an interesting story with diverse yet believable characters. With its own custom ui and functions. One of the few better games on this site. Sad to see as of lately, a lot of good games are being abandoned.

 

[tretch95]

Read the comments some pages back.


TLDR; update was already finished, but the dev disappeared a few days before the planned release.


There's a lot of previews to verify the progress, so either he's dead or is otherwise not in control of his online presence.

 

[Phase_01]

Well Deadmoon Survival's dev came back when no one knew wtf happened to him

So SURELY Meorless will suddenly comeback soon and continue the game

I just wanted more of the mom goddamnit, could've done so much with her
mom x son cuckolding dad, corrupting both parents to fuck in front of their son and daughter, making mom cheat with someone else, or full family orgy including the sister and dad

alas don't think we'll ever even touch the surface of potential this game had

 

[HalaMadrid15UCL]

Nooooooooooooooo

 

[\\_Tremolo_//]

 

[DryQuick98]

So uhh he died? Well that's explain for the delayed update, well RIP then.

He is MIA, not dead, as no one can confirm anything thus far.

 

[longjohngold]

Damn shame about this one... as others have said stuff like the pointless inventory system shouldn't have been in there... but there was some hot stuff brewing that there hadn't been a chance to capitalise on yet.

 

[ddtmm]

i hope the dev is ok and picks this back up when they're able

Oh, really!Feel bad for this game,but,thanks for the information.I haven't played dead moon survival as it was abandoned but liked it very much.Glad to hear that it came back.

 

[NTR unavoidable!]

I still think about this game occasionally as its dark and mysterious atmosphere really left an impression on me. Art as well.

Ugh, such a shame.

 

[arjunazuluna]

too soon, this died too soon

no hope?

 

[ddtmm]

The dev disappeared from all his crowdfunding and Discord, some days after he announced the release of update 0.4.0, which never happened. What we have is a bunch of theories, from being recruited for war (he is Russian) to having just abandoned the AVN and falling silent.
We hope that one day he will give us a sign of life.
IF he is still alive.

how can he disappear if he made an announcement?

 

[wolvovic]

People, maybe that's enough.
Every month, the same thing.
A wonderful project – the developer disappeared – was drafted into the war – Russian – killed – died, maybe, maybe, maybe, etc.

Yes, I agree, the project is good. And that's ALL.
He'll return to development, great, no, that means no.
Quite a few projects have been closed spontaneously like this, not because of death, but because of various life situations.
