VN Ren'Py Abandoned Elvensang [Ep. 5] [Worlaix]

[quandin]

Are you sure the game is dead? The dev was a student if I recall well and he never said he would abandon the game but I agree if he doesn't reply anymore, it's bad news... Just hope he is fine.

It's just kinda sad for Patreon Backer who supported the game. Also the game was pretty cool I'm sad it's not finished, I would have pay for it!

He was, now he's slaving away at a job, so less time

Are you saying the game is officially abandonned...?

It's not officially anything, except extremely slowed down and/or paused in its development. There's been no official word from Worlaix saying he's abandoned this, so it's only got the label because of F95 site rules.

I checked the Patreon page is still on, so I really hope the game will be continued. I'm even considering supporting the game on Patreon. I really liked what I saw about the game... I really really hope he'll get back to work and finish this game someday!

 

[hfjksahfjska]

Surely I haven't just spent 13 hours, reading some of the best game dialog and stories out there. Only for it to never be finished. I'm gonna inhale my copium and convince myself that the next update is only a bit delayed.

 

[massifteetees]

Is there still not any update? Sucks.. I have no right to complaint because I am not pledged to his Patreon but I did for a few months a while ago. This is why we need to support these 2D guys.. I get it the Zone is a pirate site but I hope Worlaix will go to Steam. I've seen many devs go to Steam to save their work. If he goes to Steam he can get some revenue to continue his work while doing his fulltime job. He is a talented writer and artist.

from i could hather this game is "just" a passion project that def never expacted to get any money from.
and def still rly wants to work on this passion project so it is still there (rightfully so since this game is awsome)
but they can only work on it if they have some free time. so we can only hope that someday we get something regarding this game..

Yeah, maybe if more people jumped on his Patreon it’d give him that extra push. I mean, I’m super busy too, but when there’s something I really want to do, I still find a way to make it happen.

It would need to be a large number of people on Patreon. He makes practically nothing from it right now, and IIRC his RL job pays pretty well (unless I'm thinking of another developer).

"if more people jump and dickride him then things will be fine!" -You,a fool
Thats how you get Bo wei and Koda,by showering with money those who are lazy or/and evil enough to scam their fans.

My message applies to you aswell,money shouldnt be the motivation to make a game here,this isnt steam. Especially if he already has a well paying job.

Thinking this applies to my comment means you completely misunderstood the point of my comment. This is a passion project of the dev. But do you actually think that all well-paying jobs provide loads of extra time or something? Many good jobs, even when you're not "high up" in a company (like working on an oil rig) take huge amounts of time and give very little for something like this. Add to that RL obligations and the fact that hand-drawn art takes ages to create compared to things like Daz, VaM, or Honey Select.

Stop pretending that money doesn't matter when it comes to something that takes as much time to create as this does. "Do it for the passion, not for money" tends to be the clarion call of those who can't themselves actually make a living off of art. If you're independently wealthy, good for you. Maybe instead of criticizing devs like this you could spend thousands yourself each month to support them so they can do only this (you know, since money's not important and stuff). Most people aren't independently wealthy like you apparently are. I'm frankly surprised Worlaix was able to do as much as he's already done.

Bold of you to assume that I misunderstood your comment,people cant disagree with you? You ironically misunderstood mine,where did I say that a high paying job means he gets extra time? You just assumed,either demonstrates your poor reading skills or just need to fabricate something to say "gotcha".

Again where did I say that money doesnt matter? I said that if it is truly a passion project then money is a non issue but again you try to attack others who disagree and try to be know it all,which is not conductive a any dialogue,you just want to be right so badly and its showing,why would I support the dev? Because your royal high-pain-the-in-ass said so? Im doing fine financially but my country is in a recession,we use different currency but nah that doesnt matter to someone spoiled like you who insists like an NPC "support the dev like that magically will speed things up".
We have seen plenty of such devs giving up halfway or earlier,I wont bother supporting till I see he finished product IF it comes to that,if not good riddance. Dont come crying to me that dev took 10 years or he abandoned it. You Mfos never learn XD

Posting here to keep my hopes alive... T_T

 

[jakers1234]

Dev may as well be dead...

 

[Kliorkt]

So sad

Not really. I hope the dev is having a great life, even if he can't work on this anymore.

I don't think he meant it that way. I think he was saying that the chances of him continuing to work on this game is the same now as if he was dead. The situation for us is no different than if he was dead. It's an expression

 

[EdenGenesis]

Karl Speidel I think you misunderstood what I meant. I never said money should be the motivation, I said that sometimes it helps make things possible. Passion alone doesn’t pay rent or buy time. If someone’s working full-time, it’s unrealistic to expect them to keep producing large, high-quality projects in their spare time without some kind of support.

Also, it’s not by downloading everything for free that we’ll ever get a finished game. It’s exactly this kind of unsympathetic attitude that kills a developer’s motivation. It’s easy to pirate and complain afterward, but that won’t help anyone.

I’m not saying people should support every creator blindly, but from what I’ve seen and from my own discussions with Worlaix on his Discord, he never came across as greedy. He’s just working alone on a very ambitious project and clearly lacks time. If I ever see the project is truly dead, I’ll have no reason to pay either, but honestly, I really liked what I saw of the game, and it would be a real shame if he gave up after putting in so much effort.

 

[gamesdisc]

Worlaix live/d in East Europe(Russia?) and do not answer anywhere(nothing on patreon, nothing on discord) since may 2024 where he was sorry for delay and promised content in few weeks/months. BUT nothing came after it.

Maybe he is dead or maybe he abandon everything entirely, but its kinda rude to not give any message.

Very sad to see this game die as not finished beta version.
