VN Ren'Py Abandoned Kindread: The Redburns [Ch. 5] [Inkalicious]

[inkalicious]

Everyone ready for a difficult post?

At my current rate I don’t see myself reasonably finishing this tome within the next decade. Or two.
I have many, many excuses, but it comes down to time, technical effort and time.

My life has moved on since I first started this. Some bad and lots of recent good.
'Spare' time is precious, but I still believed I could commit to a few hours per week and chip away at the chapters, however I’ve run into serious technical issues with HS. If the PC tower wasn’t under the desk it would’ve been bounced off of a few walls by now (It has been kicked. Several times).

It’s fair to say that I’m also fatigued with this hanging over me and it’s sometimes difficult to sit down and work on it. But that’s just defeatist talk.

Soooo... What to do?

The story is written (but I do finesse it and manage the choices as I work on each chapter). Creating the images is the bottleneck.
Here’s the plan…

Next few months:
I’m going to release the next chapter (6), complete with all the expected images and ‘animation’.

A while after that:
I’ll release the entire game, but from chapter 7 onwards it’ll be using simple images for key scenes. The intention would be to stop producing multiple images and animation.

I’ll also provide HS character cards for anyone who wants to pick this up and properly finish it.

I haven’t figured out the details and obviously it’s not the best news or even a great compromise to this situation I’ve created, but I want to thank you for your support throughout this. You're all great.

PRAISE THE LORDDDDDDDD FOR THE REPLY. Please do take care of yourself it is the utmost priority, you are already better than the majority of people that just abandon their project without a reason since here you are explaining. People will understand

If more devs were like you and actually cared about the potential for their work, whether it's them or the community that carries it through to the end, we would have way less abandonware
Thank you for not just giving up and walking away <3

 

[Desten]

It's not the destination but the journey to get there Godspeed Ink

 

[darlic]

I wouldn't mind the absence of animations... which is certainly not the unique point of this game. If you manage to complete it with the essential imagery (and, if you can, some different angulations during sexy scenes) I would be more than happy.

Thank you for this for keeping us updated and for your stubbornness in not abandoning this excellent game.

Glad to hear that you've decided to create the ending. I don't even care about the quality or length of the final chapters. I understand that life gets in the way. I'm just happy if it gets a conclusion, even if it's just mostly a synopsis version

Inkalicious, I want you to know that you have created a unique game with a very special atmosphere.

I've been reading visual novels for years now, and your game is one of the few games that can be counted on the fingers of one hand that I can say the same.

Of course, it's not about the game itself, but about your unique view of the world that your game reflects.

Please stay the way you are despite all your troubles and problems, you give us unforgettable impressions with your creativity!

RIP thank you for creating one of the best games on this site. Happy to hear you've come out of some tough times, I hope the recent good continues.

 

[!BlackOmen!]

Truly a sad comment there, I hope someone WILL pick up where it left Off so the "Tag Abandoned" will switch to "Completed"

 

[mickaj001]

I love this game and thank you for keeping us informed for the next part and I would like the sex scene to be if possible more intense and the zombie fighting scene more violent and why not also put violence and sex at the same time. ( why not put a rape scene). I’m not a fan of zombies but your game gives me another vision of zombies . I would like to know if there will be any translation other than English in the next extension. I can’t wait for the rest and the end or even a continuation if possible.
THANK YOU FOR ALL AND THIS GREAT GAME.

 

[Solidude260]

Holy smoke please keep this hidden gem of a game from being abandoned. I don't care how long, just take care of yourself and pace out the work. I have been occasionally wandering back here to check up on the game and am very please with this update. Thank you for you work.

 

[j_blackbass]

Hi Inkalicious, I really appreciate that you took your time to keeping us updated, and you have my full support. I'm truly grateful that you have decided to finish this amazing tale. For me, it doesn't matter how many images will it take, if any, and I don't even care about animations - I'm sure your unique style and fantastic creativity will be there to take us to a most satisfying conclusion. Take care and thank you for sharing this story with the world.

It's a rainy day today. I've been quietly following this game for years now at this point, always holding some sort of hope that it will be continued. But, with life being the way it is, we all won't always get what we want. At least you tried your best to update us and had every intention of giving us a real good story and game. Whatever happens now, I'll still wait to see how this project will continue and hopefully, maybe end. Thanks for everything Ink, I know it was probably hard to come to that decision, but you got to prioritize what's important for you. This is still one of the best stories/adult games on the web and nothing will change that. o7

Much love big man

Is it worth playing since it is abandoned?

 

[Demnor]

Is it worth playing since it is abandoned?

Definitely! It's a great game, and if you look a couple of posts back you will see that Ink (the creator) just let us know that he's planning two more installments (the later one will finish the game just enough so we get the end, but leaving enough information that anyone who want's can pick up the pieces and re-make the game).

 

[j_blackbass]

Is it worth playing since it is abandoned?

Yes. Even if it would not be completed (and it will, according to Inkalicious), what's already there is much better than many of the finished games I've played.

 

[SgtCrise]

It's a real shame, not just because this superb game will be a struggle to get done, but because we need more devs of Ink's quality in the industry and it's such a damn shame to see him go. But life is life. HS can be a bit of a bitch, but you managed to squeeze so much amazing visual storytelling and emotion out of it, that I am honestly amazed, even though I know the studio quite well. And the writing is miles above most games out there, in my opinion THE best.

All the best to you man, finished or not this is still and will for a long time be among the very best western erotic games on the market.

 

[dond1]

Oh its abandoned? Such a pitty, I did like this game a lot :/
