ive used that quote for the last picture on my best friend (currently living together since he has no where to live and we have somewhat of a father son bond (as a joke between our mates))it was really good. a true disappointment that this one went nowhere. had a story that felt like a real story, ripped off from an anime, inspired by an anime, felt like an anime. don't care. some of the characters were well written enough to make you start to care about them.
really really liked the sisters in this one. all of them. especially the lost one. i still have this pic saved, that i ripped ages ago. for me, game was that good.

Didn't he also say, at one point, that it wouldn't be continued as an AVN?
Not that I would mind seeing the story told another way, but just saying.

Ohhh nothing, I love them, particularly the one about Drizzt, I think it's one fantastic character.
But a lot of them books are a hit or miss for me.

I like a lot of them, but my favorite of the genera isn't actually from one of their classic settings (Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, etc.) ... it's called Red Sands: An Arabian Adventure. It is a TSR Books publication, so maybe they were planning a game book in that kind of setting, but I never saw any other stories related to it.

The Mega link and both the compressed and uncompressed file added here all seems to contain the same Script.py file and nothing else.

I've been putting this off because, honestly, I've been nervous to make this announcement. I've mulled it over again and again this year how I'd announce this as well as what my plans for the game should be. Not a day has gone by where I didn't think about Evermore in some way.
The story of Evermore will return, however I will be writing it as a book.
I thought about many options, like a full on RPG, but ultimately I settled on a book since what I was really passionate about was writing the story and characters.
I was a little worried about this announcement because "who would want to read a book written by a porn game dev" and other such comments I've seen in the past. I get the sentiment, especially looking at the early parts of the game, or even 0.4. There's a lot that could have been written or paced better throughout the game for sure, but I don't believe the first story I've ever written defines the quality of every future project I write. That's something I proved to myself when I wrote Dawnchaser (unreleased game). I loved the story of that game from beginning to end and while it's unfortunate that I never released it, it made me realize that I could write better than I had expected if I just worked harder.
I haven't been sitting idly over the past year, I've been practicing and studying writing, while working, as well as thinking about what would need to change for the story to work in the format of a novel. It will be a big undertaking for sure, and will span multiple books, but for the most part the story will be recognizable and have improvements (I had 0 experience with writing when I started Evermore, some changes are only natural). However, I made sure that in my plans I didn't remove the ideas and plots that initially got players interested in the story. There is a caveat though:
The book will not be a harem smut novel.
I know this might be disappointing for some. The target audience will definitely change but that's to be expected. Shifting from an AVN to a novel was always going to lose the part of the player base that's here to goon and nothing more. This is one reason why I considered just detaching myself from the community entirely. A novel would likely have my name attached to it and I doubted that many people who played the AVN would want to read the novel. Ultimately, I saw and read enough comments from people who loved where the story was heading once things started to pick up, that I decided I'd keep those who were interested in the story up to date.
I said I'd announce something in the summer, but sorry it took so long. As you might understand, I was pretty nervous to make this announcement since I'm fully expecting some criticism, disappointment, mockery, etc.
As for the timeframe, there is no definite timeframe as of now. I did start writing it and got pretty deep into it, but that was last year and in writing it I realized my writing needed some more practice and honing so I could do it justice. Since then I've written some throwaway shorter things for the sake of practice, read some books to analyze how authors do it, and I've studied writing from some lectures I found online (Brandon Sanderson for example has been a big help). I will start back up again soon and try to have more frequent updates and announcements.
Thank you for playing Evermore and to those who've sent me messages since I stopped working on the game. Even if I didn't reply, it meant a lot.

As long as I get to read the full story I don't care what format it's in.

I don't expect it to be some mega success best seller, but I do want to finish the story and writing is what I really ended up liking about doing the project so it was only natural for it to go this way. As I said in the announcement I know it's disappointing for some and I fully expect to lose readers with the change.
I was going to write it whether I published it or not anyways since I just love the world I created, and I almost decided to write it apart from the AVN community, but I know some people do want to see how the story progresses so the announcement is for them. If that's not you, that's fine. There's plenty of talented devs with fun games out there to play.

Hey no worries. For us you still are.
Ya, and not counting abandoned ones like a whole 3 of them are as good as this game
Nah for real though good luck with your book, it should be a good challenge for your writing skills. Big difference in a visual novel and a pure text novel and I hope it works out for you. I also think it's kinda what almost all of us were expecting but still sucks to hear it so definitively.

Because it's a shitload of work and he don't have the time to do it and that's why he abandoned the game in the first place.
