No, my fault, I thought that we were on the Welsh comedian thread.If there was more than the indirect link via Icarus's topic, I missed it.
I'm not really sure, there's few things bothering me here.
Firstly, in July 2021 they arrested him and seized number of devices. They haven't done this without having suspicions, that have been soon confirmed since I doubt that it took long to find the first ones of the 19,120 p*d*shit pictures. And they let him free until the trial in August 2023? No preventive detention to not increase the number of victims?
Secondly, well, in July 2021 they seized number of devices. He used Ren'Py, so downloading the game from here is enough to retrieve the source, and he used Illusion's Studio for the CGs, what is less a problem than if he used Daz Studio. But still, he lost everything and would have had to recreate a big part from scratch in order to continue his game. This would have been felt in the game.
Thirdly, his last post really do not looks like someone who know that he'll pass a really long time in jail. Anyone expect to be lucky, but it would be stupid to expect that you'll walk out free after pleading guilty for 42 or the 53 charges against you; especially this kind of charges.
Of course, he wouldn't say, "hey, hmm, you'll pass the following decade, perhaps more, in jail, so I'll not be able to works on the game", but neither would he bullshit about him continuing it. With the charges, it's obvious that he wouldn't be able to continue the game, not to collect the pledges.
I can't affirm it, but it really looks like someone wanted to shit on the quitting dev, and finding that news, used it for this purpose.
Adult games players are annoying as fuck, it don't worth discussing seriously with them. Worse, some would get hope that the dev will return and mods would frown at me.People who want to dispute it can play devil's advocate in the game topic, but they should warn me first so I can prepare popcorn.
