Part II - Vow for Win compressed to 466.2 MB. It's worth neither downloading nor the time taken to compress it.

It wasn't worth developing!! But yet this Dev did just that ..............

ANDROID

Android compatibility has been abandoned until there's more time for development.

I apologize for repeatedly setting expectation for a mobile build, but we've found it impossible to successfully troubleshoot the android crashing with our three other projects and development schedule.

Until then, I hope you can find a Mac or PC to play this Part X airing!

Years after releasing of the game....people asking for more content...developer starts working on it.....relaunches the game as a legacy version with literally a lot less content compared to the old version.....
People KooL so looking forward to it.

I'd appreciate people keeping their personal feelings out of any responses to me. I asked a question, and I get a butthurt response from a guy who probably never was a patron in the first place, not to mention that the response made zero sense.
So, to clarify: Gumdrop abandoned DF ages ago, but recently decided to start updating Legacy again?

The game was never officially abandoned by the developer, but the developer did continuously push the release date back, sometimes by several months at a time. The lack of any demonstrated progress on the game, combined with the lack of updates, caused this thread to be marked abandoned after two years with no updates.

Meanwhile, the developer announced a level of dissatisfaction with the game, in that there was disappointment at the result, and no enjoyment in continuing. This is when the 'reboot' was announced, and this is what became part II.

Hopefully none of this seems like 'personal feelings' to you, but that kind of thing is hard to leave out since we are all, you know, people? Allegedly?

So Part 2 is a reboot, with the same characters(?) but now he's chosen to continue updates in the Original/legacy as well? That makes no sense. :|

Ignoring the sarcasm, yes, that's how you reply, not like a rambling, incoherent, lunatic. ;)

Part Uno: a well crafted and a "real-look" at people and the inner struggle.

Part Due:
Artistically it is a beautiful construct (has anyone done purple microdot ? its like that).

How ever - W the actual F

I was greatly disappointed that relations with the characters (of my choosing) could not continue to develop.

Hope the dev finds his way back from his trip....

Main thing I'm curious about original/legacy is just gonna finish of what was part one and then stop, or will it continue on for the rest of the story? Seems like he's adding only a little bit of story each update so that's perfect if he wants to seem like he's doing something yet still milking as much money as possible.

As for part 2 or the reboot or whatever it is part of me thinks Gumdrop has been following this thread the whole time and this is some weird trolling attempt. From what little I saw of it and what's been posted here about it it seems like he's tripled down on all the thing about the that people complained about. Weird artsy camera angle, goofy shit like talking skeleton dream sequences, meandering pseudo-philosophical bullshit, and the continual "incest is wrong mister" talk even though this is supposed to be an incest game. The again he really could this much of a pretentious bull shit artist so what the hell do I know anyways.

Part II was supposed to be a reboot, some kind of "re-imagined" artistic direction for the developer. But there are two problems with that -

1) It doesn't start the story over, and it's very difficult to discern what (if any) story it tells at all;
2) There are updates to the legacy VN, albeit VERY tiny, which debunks the original claim the developer would no longer work on the project.

There are some in the thread (and I am one of them) who believe the original developer is no longer working on the project, and the 'new' stuff is done by someone else (which would explain why it's so entirely different and disparate from the original).

To be fair, this game story telling is good, the development isn't. People love this game, but very hatred toward Gumdrop. It's the same situation with George R. R. Martin VS Game of Throne's fans.
scamdrop has earned it, version 0.98 was very much sexless and stupid dreams and then he stopped devving game for 3 years until made dfx which is shitshow.

Know a member on here that reported the game/developer to Patreon. They just got a update email today saying "Patreon takes these allegations very seriously. We are currently investigating this creator and all projects associated with the account." Original complaint was due to no real updates in 4 years and circumventing patreons guidelines.

I'm going to get my popcorn ready!
waste of good popcorn, he's been reported before but no avail.

Suppose it could be. I haven't really tried Part II because Legacy still got updates.
Played the latest update to Legacy, and that seemed on par with the previous writing, so currently that's what I'm just going to focus on. The updates are definitely small, if they keep getting pushed back, I get why people are get annoyed. That being said, I like the father-daughter story so far, so I'm not complaining, as long as they don't suddenly stop updating again.
