VN Ren'Py Abandoned Kingdom of Deception [v0.14.2.2] [Hreinn Games]

[mr_turBO]

Short version:
Nomo, the guy who drew the art and came up with the story, the characters, the setting, the personalities, the interactions, the scenes, etc. has disappeared from the internet over a year ago. Everyone we know has lost contact with him.
The dev team technically still has a writer and a coder who didn't quit, so technically the game is not abandoned yet.

But, if they don't want to shut everything down, they only have a couple of options left:

1. Keep things on life support and keep making reused scenes without progression. (commonly known as milking)
2. Nomo comes back from his exile.
3. Find new artists, narrative lead and project lead to take over the required tasks.
4. Start a new game in the same setting with the new people on the team.

So basically unless Nomo comes back suddenly, then the game is either over or both the game and the dev team has to go through drastic changes before they can do anything.

Thanks!
I hope the game won't be abandoned.

The game's pretty much abandoned at this point, at least from a development standpoint. We're just here waiting for its inevitable fate.

Don't mind me, just laughing at all the very special fellows who defended this game/these devs when all the signs were there. This was the only possible conclusion to Hreinn's excessive stupidity and non-existent work ethic.

Maybe they can reboot the project or just delete the patreon
They have already lost most of their loyal audience.
Well, they can be remembered with warm words. The old team.

I'm sure they could have found a good artist and writer if they had put in a little effort instead of waiting for something.

I'm not really in the know, but it looks like they don't really engage in communicating with the audience.
At least if you look at their Patreon, posts appear extremely rarely, I looked at several pages of other developers and many have posts much more often or relatively regularly.
It's bad if the creators of KOD are simply too lazy to do this, although, perhaps, they actively maintain their Discord.
I'm not ready to check.

These guys just doesn't know how to continue without getting rid of the source of income and affected them greatly.

I'm not sure if their Discord is active, either.

 

[Falso]

I am starting to think Nomo is genuinely deceased.

It's a shame really, it's one of my favourite games on this site, and I've been around here for 7 years.
by the way if anyone knows something similar , (2dcg , corruption, fantasy, point and click, with NOT F*CKING CHILD LOOKING JAPANESE DRAWINGS, I'd happily take your suggestions. I can't take of that japanese slop anymore.

KOD ticked all the right boxes for me. It is perfect for an 18+ game.

 

[Edward_Raimundez]

Could you send me the text file for the scenes? Or tell me how I can find it, I would really appreciate it.

Seeds of Chaos if you're ok with ntr
Roundscape Adorevia and Claire's Quest are also good despite being RPGM
So is Noxian Nights, this dev's other game
Tales of Androgyny if you're ok with futa on male
i don't appreciate the eroge slander btw

Where is the walkthrough? Can't find it in the given link

 

[calculateplus00]

any news?

I believe this is the latest walkthrough available, though as you can tell by the version, there's a lot of stuff not covered.

You must be registered to see the links

any news?

No, unfortunately. Judging by the last post shared from the devs, it pretty much implied the project was dead, or at the least, on hold until they could find a solution. They did say they were intending to finish the current arc, but this is a game that's lucky to release 1 update every 12 months. Last update was August, so there's still a few more months that they might drop something, but I don't think we'll know til' it's actually done & available.

any news?

Here's a post with the full confirmation that the game is effectively 100% dead.

G'day Strangers!

Seems like it's curtains:

The only thing I'll add is that Monsinne seems like a rather slow writer: (I wrote mildly successful erotica for a few years) granted you need to get in the mood, but 10k a day shouldn't be an issue (that said I have no experience writing *for a game*).
Only mentioning this as Monsinne brought it up themselves.

what a shame.
this is the best renpy corruption game I've found on this site. The art was great and the characters were all very sexy .

It's bad that such games are abandoned or are too short. I feel like there hasn't been much content about monsters, tentacles, and bestiality lately.

I'm thankful for that. I despise bestiality and it's done to death anyway. I love fantasy content but that doesn't mean we always need to have exaggerated proportions and monstrous stuff.
