They're a sort of What If...
Short answer to everybody: don't expect anything. Just sit by the river and wait.
WTF,this means 1 update per year?
I get that a lot of devs are so, but I really don't like it when people immediately jump to conclusions like a "Dev being lazy". A very large number of these devs do their AVNs in their spare time. Even if Az did this full time (which I'm not sure that he does), there is a lot that can happen that doesn't equate to laziness or milking. Az has provided posts on Patreon fairly regularly (usually no more than 4 to 6 weeks between posts), and he has also paused billing before, like with Ep 8 or 9 (I can't remember which; maybe both). From everything I've seen, he has been fair to his patrons.
okay man,thanks for clarifying.as i have said im new,sorry.
apart from "life", bonus episodes contributed greatly to this speedy developing/release schedule for the main (and only) game.
i.e. it is best to play the basic version first, and then the bonus 1-8
it's ok to be new but don't assume the dev is lazy. As creating games and actually uploading it for people to play takes a while. There's a lot that happens for game dev. Coding, writing out the story, clothing options, what the characters look like, what their personalities will be like, adding music to game, programming the actions in the game, doing artwork for the game, doing motion options for the game, choosing backgrounds for the game and where the game takes place etc. So a lot of different things go into making a game possible. I find that the games that get abandoned are games that have been out for more than a year or 2 and is only at chapter 1/ part 1/ episode 1. And most of the time you can see on patreon when the last time they updates the game. I find that if they're no new updates within the last 6 months to a year, then the games most likely been abandoned. Sorry to double quote. I just wanted to add a few things. So it takes a while for the game developer to update the game and put it out, as there's so much that goes on between the udates.
$4,000 a month.
it's actually quite easy to get into making a AVN through Renpy. Most of the Daz assets can be acquired in a er.. No so legal manner.. Many even linked on this forum. Renpy itself looks crazy complex on the surface but there are so many walk through videos on youtube. As for audio you can sign up to a few sites that allow you to use some music for a monthly sub. The only real issue is having the passion to keep doing it as creating an AVN is time consuming. Hence why you see so many abandoned projects here. Anyone can start it.. But not everyone can finish it.
I feel like I am having the wrong job, too! Guess I should learn how to code, it seems like the monetary benefit is worth it.
Coming up with a good story to make people want to pay is another issue. And there's a lot more to creating the scene, coding it (which isn't too bad) and covering all the possible branches that can happen due to choices.
I just reported the OP with several tags that are missing (like virgin, drugs, corruption). Lesbian (from planned tags) was finally added with this last chapter (if you hang out with Luis and have the MC peep in a room). I think most of the others either were already in the game (but not listed) or have not been added yet. If the tags list gets updated, you'll have a better idea of what's in the game right now.Has anything been added to the game from the “planned” tags?
Yeah, I think I forgot to include corruption when I asked to have tags added earlier. I've now made a request for that as well.
