Ren'Py Abandoned Heavy Five [Ch.2RS] [Nottravis]

[STNeish]

I apologize, I seem to have been misunderstood. I know she's had difficulties, but there had been a post suggesting it would be, apparently every couple of weeks. Obviously, that's not what happened. I'm not being critical of this, or complaining about it, I just wondered if there was a new plan. Is it still supposed to be every couple of weeks, or is it going to be once a month... or whatever?

I'm not demanding anything or complaining, I just wondered what to expect.

Patrons feel the need to defend the developer because she(?) is a woman and they're pulling our the white knighting. They're invested in the project because they've been loyal supporters of the developer for months, if not years. If the project goes bad, it reflects poorly on their personal ego and self worth, because they would be fools for investing time and passion for something that did not bear fruit.

I personally don't mind "milking" Patreon developers. The patrons who get "milked" decides whether it is "milking" or "supporting", and quite frankly folks who don't pay don't get a say.

But blatant lies about the progress or software development standards crosses the line for me.

The amount of reworks, convoluted UI, promises, delays, and the excuses given for delays makes me think the dev spends a minimum amount of time working. And when they realize they haven't done anything that month, they make up excuses, usually related to "accidentally deleting the work" or some bullshit excuse, for their lack of progress that month.

Just for your (and others) information, Patreon pledges are paused since April 2022 and counting so as long as I'm concerned she can do whatever she wants with progress and software development or whatever your red line is. No one is being milked here and no one can really tell if she's lying or not, unless of course you have a spycam or a trojan bug or something that lets you know when she's just slacking instead of fumbling things. On the contrary, we have seen game's modules being released and tested for the last months so we tend to believe her when she says she did a fatal mistake. It's all about building trust with facts and actions, not just promises. Uninformed opinions are not going to change the reality we patrons can see.

Yeah their "milker" claims fall apart when you point out that she paused payments for that long. I'm not a patron but I've been following the info in the thread here and it's clear this dev deserves some trust, or the benefit of the doubt at the very least.

I remember a young butterbar with a chip on his shoulder. First night in Saudi, a fistsized rock rolled into his tent ("someone" wrote the word 'grenade' on it). The next day, Mr Butterbar was a new man.

or a 50BMG apr on thier pillow with thier name on it

Well, you know, I just came back here after 3 years to see where the reworking of the reworking of the reworking of the reworking of the reworking of the reworking of the reworking of the early 2 chapters was going.

I'm glad to see that it went exactly as I thought and that nothing (not even the worshipping) has changed.

Good for you.

 

[ReaperMania]

For Chapter 4, are there spanking scene(s) in the game that the other 3 chapters kept on teasing us with? Lol

 

[dolfe67]

There is a rape, in one of the later chapters, but it's not the MC. If you land on the planet and leave the girl alone, aliens will rape her.

You DO get some nice abuse-your-authority scenes, but you don't get to roleplay rape as far as I recall.

Tagging rape for that is kinda nonsense, it should be for MC as a kink. Hope the tag system rework will be better

It's a single protag game, but you choose your MC at the start of the game, and the story will play out differently depending on which MC you're playing as. You can be male or female, and Black or white.

So it's not multi-protag, tag is misleading

Was going to try it out but you just made me change my mind, pretty much sounds like a game I know that makes +50k/month been here for 6 years+ and dev with same bs and when you critize them they delete post so a moderator has his/her cut.Also saw on page 1 this update is chap 2 and then I see a chap 4 so where's chap 1 and 3?

 

[michel.gellar7]

Hello there!
I can't make sens of the versions!
The tag says "Chap 2 Remaster", while the Changelog says "Chap 4" and "Chap 3 Remaster".
What is the latest version to download ?

Same here. I think Ch2 Remastered was released today. But does Chap 4 now contain chapters 1-4 remastered or no?

 

[I'm Not Thea Lundgren!]

The new CH2 is the proper remaster. The one labelled CH4 remaster is an old one.

 

[Wallenstain]

Is this the protagonist we choose or as the game start we plays female & male protagonist.

 

[Lavitz0813]

The new CH2 is the proper remaster. The one labelled CH4 remaster is an old one.

So by that, would you need to download chapter 4, then download the chpt 2 rm and slot it in?

 

[m3nic]

Reworking and remaster, after years the story no continue nothing new on the game. What do they want to achieve.

Patrons feel the need to defend the developer because she(?) is a woman and they're pulling out the white knighting.

Weird place to put the question mark. It make you question the use of "she", but not the fact that she's a woman.
As for the reason why they defend her, couldn't it be simply because she deserve to be defended ?
She release something of quality, is honest in regard of her own flaws, never blamed something else than herself when a release is delayed (except this time for obvious reason), and have always suspended the pledges the instant she's out of delay. And just this last point is enough to explain why people defend her, and why they would do exactly the same if Notty was a guy.
She's earned the respect people have for her, something rare nowadays and that you clearly will never experience.

I personally don't mind "milking" Patreon developers.

God, even at milking she's bad.
It's been now around one and half year that her patrons haven't spent a dime. She froze the pledges when she had her car crash and will only restore them when the chapter 5 will be released.

But blatant lies about the progress or software development standards crosses the line for me.

What lies exactly ? Because your post clearly show that you don't have a fucking clue regarding the reason for the delay.

The fact is that she had a serious car crash that left her with small, but yet seriously impacting, physical damages. Between the pain and the meds, for more than six months she was in the impossibility to concentrate enough. But, alas, not in the impossibility to think, what leads to new ideas and all.
Then, when she was back on track, able again to works on her game, the next chapter was already seriously delayed. Therefore she talked to her patrons and, fucked for fucked, decided to implement the ideas she had when she was only able to think. All this without earning a single buck from them.

Do you want to see a picture of the car after her crash ? Do you want to see a copy of the different medical acts performed last year ?
God, why do I ask ? Even with them in front of you, I'm sure that you wouldn't change your mind, saying that it's not hers. After all, you came here and randomly thrown up your anger. All this without even have the start of a fucking clue regarding what you're talking about ; proof that you haven't even cared to read a bit of the last pages, in order to know the context. You just came to feel important and try to fill the void in your existence.

With people like you, people don't need to be white knights, they just have to despite stupidity. So, why not just STFU instead of making a fool of yourself like you did ?

Sorry for the dumb question lads...
Do I need to also DL Ch.4 separately or is that included in the main DL? Looks like a very interesting title... Cheers.

There is something weird with you guys, clearly there are a few patreons here so why are you all lying about the ping pong game? It just take a second to check it and you can read that the ping pong game is still in testing phase. There is a VR test posted to use for future chapters (4 and 5), but it has nothing to do with the ping pong game.

So again, Why are you lying?


No, she is not in schedule, starting from 15 of July she said every 2 weeks we would have a new chapter (except one extra game I dont remember exactly when was said) so at 1 of September we should have had Chapter 4 in our hands already, but YES, she had a mistake and overwrite everything, its ok but shes not in schedule.

And btw, Chapter 2 from 30th July is almost the same than Chapter 2 recently posted, just a fix for an animation that was not seen and a few small bugfixes, that takes her A MONTH to fix. Lets hope that she has taken all that time to fixed it for future chapters too or it could be that we dont get Chapter 5 until 2024.

Oh, and to prove that all this information is not fake, here:

Chapter Two

PC

MAC

Chapter Two compressed

I am still waiting for my answer as to Why some of you, that are patreons, lied about the ping pong game and none of the other patreons, that are clearly here, correct any of them.
