VN Ren'Py Abandoned Demon Boy [v0.42] [EroMersive]

[-CookieMonster666-]

He's burnt out.

He actually started making another game to try to recharge himself, but that never got released.

So until proven otherwise, it's safe to say they aren't going to make this (or another) game anymore.


Actually, it was exactly 1 year ago that he said he was burning out and started the other game.

Yeah, it's very possible. It always could be that stepping away to the other project, even if it never went anywhere, helped with his burnout. It's possible he's working on this again but hasn't said anything because he doesn't want to pressure himself right back into another burnout. But I do feel like what you say is more likely. I'll keep watching this thread, just in case we turn out to be wrong and he makes a comeback. Nothing is ever certain.

Making a second game is not to prevent burnout, on the contrary it only helps it, you have 2 times the pressure. It can help to prevent weariness though, but I don't recommend it. Do you have an example of a dev making multiple games and finishing them?

Thank you for sharing the information.
I'm sorry to hear, but for creative people burnout is an extremely common phenomenon and not many find the strength, energy and creativity to finish what they started.
I can only hope that this author will find the strength to create something interesting and tell his next story to the end, create a full-fledged game, he has great potential and skill for this, his drawings are very good.

Burnout may be a contributing factor but bad business practices is the main issue. This developer lied for months on end, never released the promised update (that was only a few short "grammar fixes" away), and then ghosted all. He is still around, but doesn't think it worth 5 minutes of his time to give anyone even the simplest of remarks. I understand doing that to F95 pirates, but to do that to your financial supporters on patreon? Low.

Sorry, was this directed at me? You never quoted anyone, so it's a bit hard to tell. You only have "2 times the pressure" if you plan to do something with the second game. I had thought the second thing was only a temporary distraction to create without stressing about this game, with the idea to come back to this at some point. If it was intended to be a second full project that would continue simultaneously with this one, obviously that's a mistake. In any case, the effort to shift for a bit doesn't seem to have helped anyway.

FYI, weariness can lead to burnout, so I have no idea how temporarily shifting to another project to relieve weariness would not potentially help prevent burnout. Now, if the dev hadn't intended to make the shift in focus temporary, that's another matter entirely. I have no idea what's going on with this dev (as I've said multiple times now).

so what happens with all these abandoned games? (theres quite a few with huge potential!!)
> do the devs just sit on the code waiting for a buyer or an unrealistic continuation of the project -?

Nothing. Its just dropped and forgotten. This dev is very young (information from the ones who saw his stream), i bet he is in the college now.

it's a universal thing that the destiny of good games is abandonment

It is true for many, but there area also many that are at least good if not excellent have been completed. I'd say it's not a high percentage, of course, but it does happen.

Can we stop talking about this now its annoying to get a notice about a game thats not active anymore

so unwatch the thread...

I spoke to EroMersive a while back and he told me that he was gonna release the update and also a spin-off game for goodwill.
Looking at it now, it was just another broken promise and empty words from a person without any values.

This was always just a side hustle so he could earn some easy money to invest in cryptocurrency/stocks.

Man that game look fire though..

 

[snow123789456]

I hope the game would be back someday, (maybe),

 

[tt02]

maybe the dev is like cloudlet no news and update in a year

 

[GetOutOfMyLab]

So your a funny guy now, your all making dumb comments about how i am a newbi like yall never started from somewhere sighs little children

I gave you the solution to your notification problem. Not sure how that is a "dumb comment".

 

[Lucifer_Morningstar]

Man, this game's story had great potential. Sad to see this gone too, hope some capable Dev picks it up and runs with it.

Stop dreaming. He's just a pure cowardly scamming lazy liar.

 

[Oh my]

Stop dreaming. He's just a pure cowardly scamming lazy liar.

Iirc, the other guy working on the game asked for more money, he said no, they split, and the VN eventually got Abandoned.
He also said he wanted to work on a secondary VN where the Mom was a model, or something corny, because he was getting writer's block.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

This was a good VN, but I will never not be repulsed by short male MCs and tall, ballooned up milfs.

There was no "other guy" on this game. EroMersive was developing this game on his own.

And this game was not "eventually" abandoned. It was abandoned very abruptly, right around the end of January or beginning of February this year.
