Hello all. I’m not Inkalicious, just a friend here to pass on an update.

There’s no easy way to start but Inkalicious has been in hospital and out-patient care for a long time now. I’m not going into specifics but he’s expected to make an almost full physical recovery and is receiving the best care and support from family, friends and fantastic professionals.
I’m here because I shared a flat with Ink when he first started this and the only one irl who knows about this. I also got into VNs through his work and this site, so thanks Ink? I’m also here because he’s an idiot who feels guilty about leaving this unfinished with no updates. (He’ll read this. So yes, you’re an idiot)
I’ve read the comments here and understand why he feels bad about this, so here I am with some updates.

So, firstly, he’s sorry (think we covered the idiot bit) and he’s very happy that people still remember this, even if they’re sad or pissed off at the unfinished state. He still intends to release the text-only with the models but he doesn’t have access to the PC they’re on. I definitely don’t want to search through his files to find them as there are many versions and different folders, no idea if I’d get everything and who knows what else I’d find. We both don’t want that. So Ink will get around to it when he’s able.

To the people who want to continue this with their own story. Ink says go for it. He’s all about collaboration and thinks it’s great that people are interested enough to continue it. I’ve suggested that maybe instead of trying to get the files he just gives an outline of the story and paths and others can fill the dialogue and images. He’s a perfectionist though so we’ll see.

He knows the related, and of course unfinished, Kindread game was released here. The idea behind that was to introduce a smaller VN with characters and story that will appear in the main game, but stand alone. It’ll never be finished and does have an uncomfortable start, so here’s a spoiler of the whole thing.

To any Patreons that are still around, sorry I couldn’t get the login to work and it’s too complicated to fix it. So this is the only place I’ll update and Ink will deal with it when he can.

I think I've covered everything he wanted so this will be the last time I login as Ink. Hopefully it won’t be too long before he’s back to his smutty ways.
I’d just like to add that I’ve been very impressed and touched with the general vibe on this thread, and Ink definitely has been. Hope everyone keeps well and this is not-Inkalicious wishing you all the best.

It is wonderful that Ink is returning eventually. Is there any donation drive that he is running? For a story like that, would be quite glad to help with his medical fees.

I agree. Is there ever a case where some other dev or skilled game maker takes over and continues a game if the original maker is ok with it? Kinda like when a TV network takes over to produce/show a series when the original network has given up on it?

I thought of one and DMed you (since you're not supposed to mention names of other games on a thread like this), but you're correct in assuming it's extremely rare to happen.

MannyTearson92 Like you mentioned above, Will you be working on this project? Wondering since RIC doesn't seems to be an active project right now.

No. The Original Dev is coming back. No reason to. And I'm glad, too, because I do think the Original Devs should be the one to finish it. Otherwise, if for some reason he couldn't, I would take over and try to finish things in his view.

Right now, no projects are active until I can buy a Graphic Card. Which might be a few months from now. Trying to get all my other debts paid off and then I can finally focus on Computer repair and Upgrades.

Wow. That is some fine dialogue and character writing there. And I mean not just AVN writing. Fun! These games are most definitely not the most important thing in the world, but it would be a real shame if the author couldn't play with it some more, at any pace and scope really. Get well mate, and best of luck!

Just came across your work Ink, and I'm glad to hear that you're planning some kind of return. I'd love to see more from the Redburns

Played this game so long ago.

Though I now a days seem to be craving a open world FMC Where they easily can choose to dip out of situations(that any normal person can) But can willingly choose what corruptions to partake in.

This is one of those gems that will always stick with you.

You get what you like, the characters make sense. While sure it wasn't planned, it just shows that even if alot of people don't got alot going for them, much won't change in the Post/Apocalypse.

(and that sometimes, things don't matter as much but your connections)

Always looking forward to this. Just like I miss so many other good games.
(hell, even some not even produced far games have alot of promise and comedy. Sadness.)

Hope the Dev is well, just like another dev I'm supporting during their turmoil ridden part of the world. (which funny enough. another game I want to see grow due to its "Journalistic" Promise and concept it has, is on the other end of the spectrum of that turmoil. cause of the artist)

Hope they are well(again I say).

This game has made many memories for all here. and we hope to seen the end. and all that may come from their conclusion.
