It is unlikely that they will switch to a new project. All their current patreons are there cause of it, i doubt they will risk losing them.
Current Patreon chart stands at 659, the lowest peak. It is 50 less than it was one month ago. There has been no update during March, probably cause no real progress has been made on the game. They get a small raise when they post stuff but, only temporarly. The less progress they make, the less money they get, the less work they put into this. This will fade away but i do hope Nomo will end up working on some other project.At this point it's pretty safe to say that this game won't get better it'll only get worse into eventual abandonment.
Time to accept this.
LMAO holy fuck that's a drop and a half.Current Patreon chart stands at 659, the lowest peak. It is 50 less than it was one month ago.
Would need somebody who knows how to code the game too. The game has enough unused assets to allow one coder and a writer to develop a few patches on their own. Given how much stuff the devs recycle, you could take it a step further and recycle other scenes and you could go on for a lot of time.Maybe someone who is good at writing can take this project I really want to see an end for this game.. doesn't deserve to be abandoned
The problem with this is that you're talking about a team of two putting no small amount of work into a project that cannot be monetized and will likely result in swift action by Hreinn. It's extremely unlikely on a good day.Would need somebody who knows how to code the game too. The game has enough unused assets to allow one coder and a writer to develop a few patches on their own.

Because they have no real update to make. They do not put much effort into development, which is why updates got slower and slower, while also having less and less content. They could just make an update saying: " we are working at it, we did X progress" but they don't, because no real progress has been made. Assets are made already, if they did something they would have updated the game already. The amount of work you can do in 30 days is gigantic, even with just one hour of work a dayThey could begin by posting a written update on the new patch progress once a month. Like how insane is it that former patreon milkers like 3diddly and DecentMonkey are now updating games on time and giving regular updates on patreon, and Hreinn who used to be so reliable are just perma radio silent on the game and take 5+ months for every update. No scratch that, every quest. How hard is it to write a post of 200 words with an art piece and say "yeah sorry guys this small quest is going to take 8 months again, next time its gonna be different".
It looks and feels to me, like the game they wanted to make is just too big and complicated for them.Because they have no real update to make.

I think the VN angle fits quite well for the sort of narrative that Hreinn used to be good at. But I think that's more due to Sierra's style of writing than anything.It looks and feels to me, like the game they wanted to make is just too big and complicated for them.
If I was them, I'd apologies to the supporters and fans, and then start over but make the game smaller (and not a VN).
Like the Sakura Succubus series?I cannot see them make a VN as it's heavily depends on writing.. unless they gonna make one with weird finishes that's only for players to use instead of porn and not for a story with good plot
yes they did a release of multiple patches and updates on the first of April.I shouldn't even bother but, is there any news on the "new update" aka second half of the top down view quest?
Yeah, I'd be happy to have a go at continuing it (and I think there are other people in the thread who would too) but it would need someone with at least a little bit of coding experience. KoD isn't a super complex game, but it's still different enough from a standard Renpy vn that it's easy to fuck something up and break it.Would need somebody who knows how to code the game too.

I feel like the best April fool's joke that Hreinn games can up with is this.yes they did a release of multiple patches and updates on the first of April.
Edit: just in case somebody does not get it, it's a joke based on April fool's day
