VN Ren'Py Abandoned Dual Family [Stream Extras] [Gumdrop Games]

[fotogaik]

It'd be awesome, but seeing how patron count has rebounded to ridiculous levels later in every month in the past year (per graphtreon, which is a trustworthy source), it's premature to celebrate.

But between payment processing delays, some banks verifying payments on working days and denied payments (which is a common problem for all creators, not just adult content), he'll bounce back.

Edit: And it looks like I'm not the only one aware of this, sabbathfun above also mentioned it.

Gumdrop is losing followers on patreon

Now I'm just gonna wait for middle of the month to see whether it increase or decrease

So no, after two years accept this, this dev never looses patrons, don't know if he's doing some dark business using patreon as a front or his patrons are the perfect examples of sheeps.

selling drugs.

Whatever it was, the game after 2 years still excites people, which means that it is very good.
But does she have real support or not, what's the difference? Everyone decides what to do, despite the fact that in this case, it looks very stupid.

 

[fotogaik]

Simple enough. Imagine 800 money launderers and ~50 fools who fund gumdrop despite doing nothing for the last two years, except maybe pretending to do something.

If that were the case the comments/patrons ratio on his Patreon wouldn't be abysmal (no game that is popular has such a low ratio). So no, the game is not "very good" in 2020, it's quite mediocre by today's standards (in fact, it's not a game anymore, it's an abandoned project, and it has been abandoned for longer than it has been a game). He is most likely profiting of dormant accounts who forgot they pledged. That or some other shady stuff (the alternative payment method on his site now looks even shadier).

I think the most interesting thought in all this is that we will play it if and only if it ever comes out as unlikely as it is and judge it super harsh, of course with reason. I said and only if as if you can play something that doesn't come out and decided to write this sentence instead of fixing the previous one. Anyways, the game really could have been something, I like the way it looks and some of the story elements. The game isn't anything original but for a game of this tone its what you expect. I also didn't know he had a website and you could just straight up play the game off of the site, not a bad way of doing business. But I enjoy once and a while seeing another complaint or theory or observation or what not commented on this essentially doomed scam games thread even though all our comments including this comment will amount to nothing if not a reminder in our notifications that this game exists.

Nobody comments on bad games, even when they come out regularly.

A remodeling contractor would be unemployed already, who keeps giving him money

It's good to see his Patreon numbers declining. I think for may followers this game became like a cult, and they blindly followed their glorious leader Gumdrop. All it took was a dose of reality, in that the game got marked abandoned. Which lead to the discussion amongst his followers and slowly they are starting to wake up.

 

[fotogaik]

Still too little, too late. I'm surprised gumdrop didn't release act I part X yet. It's not like he doesn't realize that the game is up and if he doesn't release anything, patron count will drop. Sure, he might have moved on, but doing just a bit of work now (like getting to, say, act II part 4? 5?) would set him up for another two years.

 

[Watcher X]

It would make sense for him to release something to keep the scam alive, but I honestly don't think he has anything close to being ready. Expect a few minor close up images of the mother and daughter at weird angles and horrible lighting to be released to the patrons shortly.

So I was just browsing a couple of other threads, noticed LoP mentioned on one, so I thought, why not give playforceone a quick visit to see if there's anything interesting...
...yes, there is. Dual Family v4 is featured on the front page... and people like it.

Kyle i miss you so much. Pls tell me another lie. It's been a while.

I wonder how many people spam gum on discord lol

 

[elsanna_iduna]

Only thing sad about the abandon tag is lack of posts in thread. I found this thread very entertaining.

it fires up on weekend.

There's only Kyle and Joshua left on discord.

his patreons are people who forgot to unsubscribe plus people who tried the game first time thinking it will be released soon. Most of the patreons are like people who tried a "good" restaurant the first time then end up not coming back because of the service.
