VN Ren'Py Abandoned Dr. Amana, Sexual Therapist [v2.0.0P] [Ianvs]

[ViperDevlin44]

Nop.
Game is developed slowly because dev lost his team (supposedly) and he is preoccupied with work, family, etc...
It is unclear when the next update will even be. I don't have much hope for this one, it has abandonment written all over it.

Well I can't really say I'm shocked alot of really good games get abandoned so hopefully the dev finds a new team before choosing to abandon the game

The dev is NOT abandoning the game, there have been dev updates recently, not every dev updates the game every month.

I am glad that you are so sure. So how many updates were this year and how much content?

He is not looking for a new 'team', as he is going on as a team of one.
He took a bit longer while trying to master the new skills needed to fill the abandoned rolls.

That's good it's always great to see a dev bounce back from setbacks

Content updates or dev updates?

If you read this thread you would know the answers to your questions.

I've been following the dev on this forum for almost two years, you've been a member here on this forum for less than a month.

So yes, I am sure on this point.

RomanHume has set out his plans for at least the next year, we wouldn't be backing him on Patreon and on here if we didn't trust him.

Is there any walkthrough for for 0.9.0 (alpha)? Series 1.x seems to be not just a remastered version, but completely different game based on mostly the same characters and similar story.

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

No idea about walkthrough to a older version since they really aren't necessary for the newer versions.

But it is a different game, with a slightly different story, e.g. there is no date with Monica (personal trainer) as far as I know.

in general, to get all the content just pick all blue choices on one play through and all red on the other.

and if you want, pick to enable trans or disable it as you get 2 different routes depending on what you pick.

There is neither color (blue/red/violet) choices, nor kink preferences in 0.9. As I said, it is a different game, with different story and choices. Some characters and events are similar, others are not.
In fact, 1.x series is the remake.

0.9 was the last installment of the alpha version, so not sure how much support you're going to find at this juncture. There have already been a number of releases for the revamped v1.x game and discussion of the alpha has been practically nonexistent since that point.

That bug (and others) were fixed in the v1.0.7b version.

So if i were to patreon pledge this guy would i have access to the version of the game I can get here or some other upgraded version...? (For instance it is said on his patreon page that he is working on chapter 4 for some characters... do we have access to these chapters here yet?) are we at chapter 2 or chapter 3?

 

[Deleted member 216663]

Hey he is working on it... HE DID NOT RELEASE IT... so no access here or on patreon...

And when you read his patreon page... look at this:

"Current Patron Version: v1.0.7b "

Now compare it with the version you can access here... any questions?

He releases playtests of scenes from time to time

So every character has their own chapters. Currently he's working on Amanda's Chapter 2 and is releasing her scenes for playtesting few scenes at a time. So far we have scenes 1-4 available for $10+ patrons, but note that it's not the full Amanda chapter yet, i believe the chapter 2 for Amanda is 6 scenes long if i remember correctly.
The version numbering has really only updated for the full releases so far and we are technically still at 1.0.7b, but the latest Amanda scenes were labeled as 1.1.2 if that matters to some of you.
So if you pledge $10 or more, you can play the newest Amanda stuff right away, but the story isn't finished yet so you might want to wait, your call.
I'm sure RomanHume has more specific answers since i can't guarantee to know everything, just what i remember from Patreon and Discord posts.

Soon it will be 2 years since this game appeared here, and still there is hardly any content, and updates are small and far apart. It is not hard to predict that it will be much sooner abandoned then finished... unfortunately.

Sadly I'm not a full time developer and I'm doing as much as I can in hours I have. Beyond that, I have a full time+ job and a family to take care of. I can't predict how long it will take to finish, but fortunately I don't get to work on the game long enough in a week to get burned out. So I have a huge reserve of stamina for this project.

Just finished the chapter 1 stories, and now none of the girls are clickable.
Any way to fix this?

In the 1.0.7b bug fix I've added an "End of Content" notification to flag this.

Yeah, I read, he hes many work and family obligations and is sole developer of this game... so, what of that is contradicting my statement?
We need to make peace with the fact that now becomes normal for release circle of 3-4 months, a that games are "developed" for 3-4 years!
Unfortunately, this uncertainty discourages players like me to support developers and we rather wait for pirated releases on sites like this. I would without a doubt support at least 2-3 games with 5-10 $ if I was CERTAIN that games will be finished in some predictable and acceptable time frame, and not dragged on for years and even worse abandoned.
I don't want to support developers with hundreds of my $ for few faps.

And the paradox continues. People don't want to support me because I'm not a full time developer, and I cannot become a full time developer without support.

Most of the devs on here do these games as a hobby or side project, that's why they take a while to update.
With this game in particular; the past few months have been all about the dev learning how to do everything himself and then rebuilding the game from the ground up. Now that the pieces are all in place, game development should be a lot smoother (and quicker).

I'm lucky enough that I'm able to support 40 creators on Patreon, some update weekly (mostly the artists), some update monthly, some take a lot longer than that; but they are -all- worth backing. RomanHume is no different; he engages with the community (us) and listens to feedback, something that a lot of new devs don't do.

In short, this is definitely one of the devs worth support on Patreon.

And I thank you immensely for that support!

RomanHume On Amanda's corruption path, you get the dialogue:

MC: It's easy. You just look at me and say '(Amanda's nickname)', you're a crazy son of a bitch.'"

Also, don't remember if anyone mentioned it, but any instance of 'Rog' needs to be converted to the nickname system, or somehow separated out(?) as it would obviously conflict with the custom MC name system.

Let me know if you're still finding instances of this with v1.0.7b + bugfix patch. I think I tracked down and fixed most of them, but there could always be more lurking.

I'm not sure if it's because I used 1.0.7a end saves to 'skip forward' to see the 1.0.7b content, but I noticed that Lita is capable of becoming pregnant. Considering the line of work she does, this doesn't make sense to me as I would think she would definitely take precautions and all that. If this was intended, what's the plan to explain that?

Girls like Lita are definitely taking precautions. But mechanically, in the code this just reduces the odds to near zero, but not zero.

I was thinking, if I could get really good at Renpy, we might have some kind of "coat hanger" mini-game. But my priest told me that would be a bit much.

In an unrelated note, I got to thinking about Emily's content. As far as I can see, this would immediately be the most complex content to make at the moment, as not only do you have the love/hate paths with cheating/no cheating triggers, but possibly two (sub-paths? sub-storylines?) within each due to telling or not telling her of the affair.

How's that all going, by the way?

Without going into details, telling Emily you cheated results in more of a temporary detour. So ultimately, I'm still only working with two paths. The cheating/no cheating will just introduce alternatives to some scenes. So a chapter may appear 70% the same between the cheating and no cheating versions, with a few alternative dialogues and renders mixed in at the appropriate points.
