Ren'Py Abandoned False Hero [v0.39.1 Beta] [Enyo Eerie]

[buff]

I finished the Mel route, and I'm locked out of her house now. OK, cool, I 100% appreciate a Dev letting me know not to waste time on it.

However, I'm still allowed to hang out with the Twins, but they seem blocked as well-- I get nothing at their home or cafe. I got some pretty great bath scenes with Kate and some fun bedtime scenes with Ashley, but that's it. Have I hit the end of the road? Or is there something I can unlock? I'll be very sad if I screw up and miss some content here, since their bath scenes with each other were starting to get just smokin'.

I'm in a similar situation with Lucy (although in her case I obviously wouldn't expect to get locked out of "her" house, since I live there).

Your best bet is to use the gallery mod to see whether you missed anything or not

when will be the release of updated version? it's been 5 months now. I'm hooked up! Love the game.

 

[mauro]

waiting for the next delay

I actually tried that but the mod did not appear to do anything. The mod download page says "version 0.30", and since my game is at 0.35 I assumed it was broken for me.

I'm reluctant to just play an older version because it sounds like this game doesn't add content from vers to vers like most games, the developer tends to throw away a lot of stuff and replace it with new content. I don't want to confuzzle myself, I just want to see the twins go at it in the bathtub :lol:

Enyo is probably playing mass effect legendary edition

 

[ohhaiguize]

The game description says "The best corruption game you will ever play, with the most beautiful and deeply-developed characters." But I don't understand. The game does not even have corruption score for any characters. Am I missing something?

The plot has been re-written multiple times and the dev has moved away from corruption as a main plot point (sadly).

 

[mommysboiii]

Thanks for your answer.

IMO, this is not a game but an ill-formed visual novel at best. It's just strange to see that the dev has been struggling to make a VN to a game, totally unnecessary.

y I never understand why devs think this click games are necassary or farming games even worth

nearly 6 months gone, any update onthe next one yet?

 

[noctarima]

I think he's trying to do the "lose all your patrons without being obvious about it" challange and that's why it's been (insert_big_number_here) months. This is the only logical explanation I can think of.

Few big updates. Most of them revolve around the game being entirely finished - head to toe but right now since it hasn't been translated it essentially doesn't exist. think Schrodingers H-game.

Dog ate the translation!

 

[mauro]

At this point is obvious that translation was just an excuse to take time, after all these months the update isn't ready yet and now Enyo doesn't know what to say

I think enyo messed up when he didn't have the update ready and said that the next update was gonna be 500+ images about 3 months ago. Then he just kept lying to cover one lie after another. Don't know what's the current status but even if the original translator didn't give him even one page of translated text then too he arranged another translator 1 month earlier and knowing the copywriting business even the slowest translator would deliver 50 pages of text in a months time. Its just translating text from one language to another and doesn't take even half as much creativity as writing an entire page from your imagination. Basically this guy is slacking off since the last 3 months or so.

This is why I haven't supported this game financially. Every game I support not only is a high quality product, it also is well structured and consistent with the release schedule and story progression (for the most part).

Enyo has a great story to tell with fantastic characters, but his creative structure, time management and scheduling is a mess. The constant rewrites and game changes reveal a total lack of planning and structuring. If this was a AAA movie he was directing, he would have been fired long ago for blowing the budget and constantly missing release targets.

If he ever gets his shit together I'll sign up immediately.

I have weird question, all things considered. Is there or will be there way to give Mark happy ending, if not with Mel than in some other way? Problem with other male characters that are too well fleshed (or are interesting in any way) is that they trigger my 'bros before hoes' instinct. Also I like all cast to much, I can't even go my usuals "fuck everything that moves" route. Damn you, remaining shreds of morality

 

[mauro]

<<So all I can say is that the update will be soon(No. Really soon. Not like the other time "soon.")>>
Not like the other time "soon."... another lie to take time
Isn't he like ICSTOR? Maybe not..YET
He can say whatever he wants but now he's ridiculous

 

[MyFirstPornAcc]

So whats the hold up? No one can tranlate it from ancient inca or other obscure language?

I understand your feeling very well. I also thought how to make this not too sad for Mark. But I didn't think of anything yet So for now Mark is not in a good position.

Hi! Just a quick information about the progress of the update. As I said before, I'm only waiting for translation. Final translation of the update has to be sent to me on 4 June. After that I'll start to put this text into the code, test everything etc.
If I'll work according to my plan, I'll be able to release the update on 10 June. WARNING! It is not a deadline, it's just a plan that I set for myself. There may be some inconveniences, considering how much texts there are in this update. If you follow me in discord you know I said that I won't tell specific deadline dates for the release of this update. So when I say 10 June it's just a possible date of the release. I may release the update in a month, or in a year. I won't release it until I will be satisfied with the result. So don't be angry if I won't release it on June 10, I warned you.
Anyway, what I'm doing while I'm waiting for the final translation: I'm already working on the next update, in which I'm 100% sure will be events with Lucy and Tiffany. I already did a few of them. But it is not certain on whom exactly the update will be focused. It will be determined in the poll that I'll make after I will release this update. So I'm not in a hurry to focus fully on any character specific.
Peace.

IDK, a dev has to give the update release time anyway. Root cause of the problem looks like his habit to keep overestimating himself, as the game description implied.

Porn VNs/games with high-quality 3D renders has a common trend

Great start with positive reviews -> update slower and slower -> Game abandoned

People including devs and fans should understand that 3D art and rendering are "economically ineffective." The work requires too much effort and time for so little reward. The most successful AVN devs monthly make $3000-$7000 and lower-layer devs $500-$2000 from Patreon, possibly only income during the development. The reward even for a successful dev is not that much, considering the work requires full-time (8-10 hours per day) possibly without weekends. After a couple of years in that situation, devs get tired or have to find a better job/work.

Without careful planning and appraisal, devs may not see fruit of their efforts.

You're completely right about effort, time etc. Careful planning is very important!

But in my situation, there is no possibility of the game being abandoned. Because I'm not "working" on my game, it's my hobby and I enjoy every single second of it. I probably enjoy too much, that's why I keep changing and improving things and working at really slow speed.

I do everything in order to enjoy my project and keep being passionate about this. And I'm doing pretty well with this. It's not really good money making strategy though.
