VN Ren'Py Dual Family [v1.22.1ce] [Gumdrop Games]

[Turret]

Sometimes I theorise "Condrop", eh, "Gumdrop" and "The Typist" are actually the same guy, because the Typist has begun to post strange excuses as well and his release dates are the same extraordinary unreliable s... like gumdrop´s are!
In June the Typist announced that the new update was a week away, to this day it still is not updated. The promised teasers were far fewer than said and only for the higher tier patrons, not the grunts. Last week he wanted to release the update on the 24th first, which was pushed back to the 27th. On 27th the Typist posted that it would be released a day later since due to his anniversary he would be likely hung over and fucked out. Over two days later still silence and no release. That modus operandi sounds familiar to us DF-Thread oldtimers, isn´t it?
The only difference is that the Typist has changed his patron to release only, but just a few weeks ago and the few teaser pics are real pics, not the assinine, unusable cut outs gumdrop tries to sell as new.

Admins should have "Scam tag" to this thread.

 

[Bonhart]

let's look at the bright side, at least it has lost some Patrons, I remember it was always stable on 800/900, now only the remaining 600/700 have to wake up (if they are real)

(sorry for my bad english)

I agree completely: abandoned tag is simply too weak, it should be scam/cheat instead.

He popped up again and explained holiday means Oct-Nov. Though that's still another month beyond his last estimate.

 

[fotogaik]

Yeah, doesn't want to lose patrons. Some of them won't cancel because they might think that they'll get the next release in October, so no point in discontinuing now.

 

[fotogaik]

Oh, and it's only an estimate if you're actually, you know, working, and you have a general idea how much work there remains to be done.
I thought that the May 23rd date (that he announced in March) is the one that he'll finally honor. Then he admitted he's lazy and didn't realize that he has to learn some software to actually render an animation that he got from fatcat. So when he said Summer 2020, I thought that the extra four months he gave himself would be enough to complete Part X, since he was able to put together an update within a month in the past, so he knows how much work it is and how much he still needs to do.

Right now I really doubt it's Kyle that's working on the game. He might have wrote everything up to Part VIII, may have conceived the Christmas prequel as something to release between Act I Part X and Act II Part I, so he had renders ready, story outlined and code to be written, but somebody actually may have robbed him of his Patreon and of his assets.

 

[ImmortalNight]

So which drops first? Part X or the Radiant update?

I think that there's a greater chance that tomorrow earth get hit by meteor thus starting climate change and new ice age then Kyle ever dropping update part X for their supporters.

As of right now, 666 Patrons. Evil confirmed.

 

[ImmortalNight]

He now says he is hiring 3 people this week.

He now says he is hiring 3 people this week.

Now that could be true:

Three high school students to produce one (1) zoomed in render from the base game, and write a bit of text pretending to be Kyle on a weekly basis. The best one (probably his son / kid brother) can also pretend to be Kyle on Discord. Leaving him with just having to post said submissions on Patreon.

The students will be paid $50 a month. Kyle will be paid, what $7000 a month. I mean, he still had to work a bit (posting a bit of stuff and all), and we can't have that when you're making $7000 a month, can we?

I am sure he´ll be hiring them like he did with his annouced earlier team, you only hear about when he needs an excuse. Gummy lies when he opens his mouth. The only scenario I see he really hires help in is the one kilatin described. Maybe Gumdrop finally recognised that he already burned every milligram of goodwill he had with the wider fanbase and even his overgenerous patrons are slowly getting annoyed it seems.

I can think of a couple other games that should have that tag too!

I'm still convinced that SirDammed is in fact gumdrop Same milking and excuses after 6 months
