Once in a while, some "random" dude come here and start debating on the development's game arguing as if Gumdrop's working on the game.

This isn't good, because they're giving F95's newbies false hopes.

That's why I've always written that this thread should be locked.


The Dude stopped working on this 2 years ago, at least. Every update came out quite regularly. Then it stopped.

The game never stalled. It STOPPED. Period.

So, let me tell you this:

if there were a "next update" it would have been released 2 years ago, at the very latest.
Yeah, but it seems the mods are holding out hope as well. Remember how long it took for them to call this game abandoned.

Is there any other place where people can find out that this game is abandoned and that it is an ongoing scam for the last 2 years?
Locking this thread would help gds scam by giving newbies that come here false hope that the update is just a few weeks away.

Someone should make a list of all his ridiculous, accumulated lies to drive the point home: remember the 6-8 GPUs :ROFLMAO:? he even had an "office" and a "team" that never existed :LOL:? he was even "training" them lmfao, but today he claims the team left (notice a pattern? when old lies become too hard to maintain he moves on to new lies). Remember the shitty cropped gif which he wasn't even making but which he commissioned to some poor guy (with stolen money of course) who later contradicted his bullshit? the "I'm learning Blender" excuse lmao (I know Blender quite well and I can tell you that this guy has no idea what he is talking about). You have to be out of your mind to fall for this.
This quote should be put in the OP as a Developer Note. They seem like a fantasy now but these posts are on gds Patreon page.
I remember lmao when I read them.

He was a next level scammer back then. He came up with ridiculous reasons for the delays and people believed him.
Now even his excuses are pathetic. He'll milk this "working on setting up free subs on my website and Patreon" for a couple of months and then there will be a month of silence until he comes up with the next excuse. This is his pattern for the last 2,5 years.

Member these? I member.


25 GPUs...25 GPUs. He probably started cryptomining and forgot about rendering.
Imagine reading this now and still thinking this guy isn't a total conman :LOL:: "Beyond that, there's not much else to report other than the more boring stuff, such as purchasing additional fans and PSU distribution to keep 25 GPUs cool and comfortable. As always, feel free to hop in discord or shoot me a message/email if you have questions about the story or process. I've got a couple to catch up on, but I'll be able to get back to you within a few days tops!"

It was obvious bullshit even back then, just as the bullshit he is pulling now. But if even with the advantage of retrospective you still can't see what this guy is doing, then nothing can possibly change your mind.

People want to waste their times here talking about the money that the dev is wining... We have to groups here: one on patreon giving money and one here writing useless words to a dev that dont give his attention to nothing that happens here.

You seem confused. Nothing this scammer could ever say matters at this point. I never liked the game either, as my review made clear.

I'm here to warn people about the scam. This site is massive when it comes to these kinds of games. Undermining it while I browse this site seems like the ethical thing to do, and it costs me nothing. How many people would be totally clueless about this scam if not for this site?

Your doing God's work :) Keep it up!

So apparently this one shares the exact same filename with this one:
(one of his early "previews" that's entirely new by the way, I checked)
0_patdan-Copy.png
which if true happens right after the kiss scene and might in turn lead to this scene

It all depends on the very slim chance of part X actually happening which I doubt it ever will

Wishing Tree is a Troll on gumdrop Discord Channel. He said it will be release next week. Dont take him seriously at first i thought hes Joshua Tree when i ask him

In regards to gumdrop post, hes doing the animation and thats really odd considering he hire Fatcat17 for that work. Then he said Act II will have less animation and thats it.

Problem is that even if he uses 25 GPUs, the character models are still like 4 years old and all the big releases in the meantime have utilized the heightened quality of newer G8 models for DAZ.

Still loving this thread. Loving the fact he's still milking. What a time to be alive. Simps paying 25 bucks a month for some OF chick in hopes of seeing a nipple someday. Even more degraded simps paying that amount to Gumdrop for essentially sitting at home and couting his money lol. xD

If you didn't like this game, you would delete it and just forget about it like other people did.
But you are constantly fueling interest in this game, are you by any chance one of these scammers trying to get money from people?
This doesn't even make sense. Why would I need to still have an abandoned game from 2018 to talk about it? is this some sort of cult, replaying an abandoned shitty porn game hoping to find the meaning of life :ROFLMAO:? or maybe "guys the next release was hidden all along in one pixel you have to click to access it, let's keep replaying it, don't give up, also no refunds".

Will never understand why an honest person would be bothered by others warning people about this scam, with actual evidence. It's at least understandable when it comes from dishonest people like his Discord "fans" (who did that some pages back).

I merely just had someone show me all the "previews" he had released in over 2 years, and the conclusion is unavoidable: this is an abandoned game turned into a part-time scam. Any rational person who dares to look at the evidence would reach the same conclusion, hence why I insist on reminding people of it. Normal people won't read hundreds of pages of some random porn game, so why not periodically warn them about it in case they think this is legit? it costs me nothing. I already wasted my time looking at the bullshit "previews" spanning over 2 years, why not make it easier for others to do the same without wasting their time like I did? I can't think of a single rational reason why you would be annoyed about it. If you fell for it, time to let it go. Just trying to shut others down won't change reality.

This guy could have just kept doing what he was doing and made so much more money. Doesn't even make sense to do this.

Was he doing it by himself? or did someone who was key to make it suddenly left and he didn't have the skills or time to continue it?

Would he really make more money? this game is way too simple to capture people's attention for over 2 years (patrons are clinging to expectations and fake promises, which wouldn't work if the actually released game contradicted all of it). Big games usually are more complex (open world-ish or with more characters and branching). Successful creators who create simpler games usually finish them relatively quickly and move on to new or more complex ones (e.g. the guy from Areas of Gray, or the guy from Acting Lessons).

How much work did he do to make thousands from scamming people for over 2.5 years vs. how much work would he have done if he hadn't actually scammed? the difference in work is massive, but the difference in profits wouldn't be as big. 10k was already near saturation point for such a simple game like this.

If it were not for your posts, which raise this topic from the depths of nothingness to the top of the forum, thousands of people would not waste their time and would never know about the existence of this game.
The game is flagged as abandoned, did you have to read 600 pages of the topic to be sure?

Next week? Yeah right.
I'm sure he will come up with another excuse. Maybe a translation error or has he already used that?
