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

[ropershy]

So now only 281 patrons follow the dev. I remember one of those days when he could likely earn more than $9000 a month while the game was onhold back then.

dang only 281 patrons now? Wow can the Dev even pay for his drugs anymore? wink

I'd make this a review, but I don't know how to do that. What follows is just one person's opinion.

I'm not a financial supporter yet. This is the first, and probably the only time I will post something on this site. I love the second game. It's immersive, frightening, and has a very unusual sort of sexuality to it. If you've cared for a loved one or a patient with profound mental illness, you can recognize tropes within the format and dialogue. Discussions with angels, recursive memories with subtle variations, grandiosity, interrupted or incomplete ideas. There is enough subtlety on display to make it relatively clear (to my eyes, at least) that the developer is creating the game this way intentionally.

I will be shocked if the developer hasn't had someone in his life stolen away by severe mental illness--probably schizophrenia. It can be devastatingly sudden. Suddenly, they aren't the same person anymore. How incredibly tantalizingly miserable it is to reflect on the fact that externally, and maybe even neurologically, all of the things that made them are still in place. It's like the soul of who they are is locked inside a cipher nobody can break.

Even the meta elements, the severe procrastination, something that anyone with mental illness can understand. The anxiety piles up. Becomes overwhelming. It's terrifying. It starts simply, as simple as a minor fear of expectations not being met--not the audience's but their own.

I won't deny that part of this game may be a bit of a commentary on the modern method commonly used to patronize artists. There are plenty of porn games on here. Then there are games like this one and Lessons In Love, which sometimes contain porn.

But I hope the developer reads this. "I get it. It's okay to be ambitious. These are fascinating concepts to tackle. I've felt what you're feeling. One day at a time." When the game is complete, I will donate. I may donate sooner.

Hi Gumdrop, how are you doin', pal?

Give my regards to the Skeleton: is he eating well? I've been seein' him a bit skinny, lately.

Part 1 was going well...nice milf model with a bonus bush...rising optimism.. and then the guy started smoking crack.

 

[SirAuron20]

is there anything about the main story lately? i havent played the game since he started development again...

 

[darksouldrinker]

I just tried out this game and I'm confused. Is there a patch I need to add for content. Scenes seem to just abruptly end. For example, playing as the Father, I spied on my daughter and niece and then go to take a shower. I turn around and my niece is naked and being seductive and then the very next pane is her in a towel like the shower is over and the scene got skipped.

Hi Gumdrop, how are you doin', pal?

This cracked me up! I'm just a guy who likes the weird, experimental, pretentiously well-written shit. It appeals to my grandiosity. Really, I just like anything with good writing. I like Lessons In Love, Light of My Life, HHG, and Power Vaccum. They're on their own tier. A tier below would probably be games like Secrets of Whispering Pines, Depraved Awakenings (big Raymond Chandler fan), and this game. The next tier includes games like Dreams of Desire, A Wife and Mother, and Corrupted Kingdoms. I've played a ton of games on here. There are a ton of games that are objectively good and reflect a fantastic effort on the part of the devs.

Got any recommendations?

i wanna block this game and forget about it but for some insane reason i keep holding out hope that one day i'll come into the thread after an update and there will be praise for it again because the dev stopped shitting the bed for once but i know it's inception level of dreaming

wanna buy bridge in brooklyn in that case?

Is there any explanation why the game just turned batshit crazy out of nowhere?
I fucking loved the first part, one of the best mother/son games ever...
And just as it got good the game took a turn into an insane asylum.

Has the developer said anything why he is effectively sabotaging his own success?

money with least effort.

So there's no actual fucking in this game. What a load of shite.

as its been said like zillion times.

Chasing Sunsets...I just found it a week ago and I am hooked. Actual story and plot.

In my opinion if I was The Dev, I would try and finished this game cuz it’s only a matter of time before he loses all his patreons. I am curious on how this game would end and who would the MC would end up with

there is no game. if he starts new with under same moniker then getting new supporters won't be easy.

can we get close to making a end game party and get wasted and scream THANK GOD IT IS OVER

Common give me vote or like for kicking my ass for play this nonsense game

In this game there is an option to be the father or play as the son. So is it possible if one day there is a story that makes the secrets of the two people exposed by their own families?

*Edit
Despite the fact that I'm confused where to start, because this game has too many versions..

Can you avoid the wife / mom altogether?

If you are playing the son - no.
If you are playing the father - supposedly that is the whole goal?
Either way, neither the mother nor the daughter get any action in this game -- in any of the parts/versions.

is the first part of the game before the dev became insane/a scam artist worth playing?

Some think there is a bit of it worth playing, but if you are wanting to have sex with either the mother or the daughter characters, then no. Neither have sex with anyone.

This Game I swear.....lol. This game has become the F95 Cancer....852 pages, and we still comment on it. lol and here I am adding to it, but seriously though has this game actually had content added to it? I keep seeing a lot of talk on it.

You are asking because you really want to play this, aren't you? If you didn't want to play it, you would scroll back a page or two to see that all "new" content from the latest release has already been posted separately. And, no, no there isn't any content.

Part 1 was going well...nice milf model with a bonus bush...rising optimism.. and then the guy started smoking crack.

Part 1 was going well, when? Nostalgia lenses setting in while looking back? Sure, there were some nice poses with the models in the first year - but just taking in an honest cursory review of the first year's worth of posts in this thread shows that this lack of work, advancement on the story line, and false sense of artistic grandeur has been there since day one.

exe is a trojaner don't download this !!!!! Virus !!!

Nope. It's not. I don't have any love for this game - but it's not a virus (except one that slowly eats away at the soul of the 'true believers').

Like farming is pitiful.

this won't end even when dev kicks the bucket.

 

[franzo]

the more updates we get the more the rating drops

 

[Obiyo]

i'm so confused with these updates.

I don't think anybody bothers to download this anymore, so no one really knows what crap has been added.

dev dead, update when?

 

[Ken2111]

Lol. I just found a comic of this game that is more advanced than the game itself:
