Unity Abandoned Labyrinth of Estras [v0.0.8] [ASIMOFU]

[sadge0]

So, dev abandoned this game ~2 years ago, and then, suddenly, appeared half a year ago in August, made a post about being diagnosed with cholecystitis in early August and announced that everything is fine now so he's back on the track and plans to continue the development. Then, in December, he twitted that his family member fallen ill and died, so he's "going to stop completely", and recently twitted that he can't force himself to work on "naughty shit" in this state of mind.
Damn, what a rollercoaster of emotions

I think the developer is passionate about the work he put out, but he just needs to find the time to center himself and find the drive again to start development. I don't think development will resume anytime this year; however, looking towards the future, I can potentially see it being restarted potentially in 2025. Just my speculation though

 

[Meriance]

looking at this completely objectively, with the fact that he was working on this project while many bad things have happened to him, i dont think theres a chance of this game ever returning unless theres a big incentive for the dev to do so.

There is a small chance of him adding the fox merchant H scenes to the game still, as he was working on it way back in 2022, and he even posted a image of her H scene in his Ci en. But after this (If it ever happens), I think the project will officialy die for sure, because there is no way in hell he will ever work on the rest of the monster girls he had planned.

And another thing, I know this dev had a difficult life this past few years and is still going through stuff, but I don't think its fair for him to keep accepting subs in his Cien given that he has basically done nothing for 2 years (maybe 3). So, kinda of a wrong move there

 

[I'm_fine.]

Is no one trying to restart the project?

 

[Rat-attack]

I'm_fine. well it isn't open source and as far as I know it's not possible to make it open source currently so anyone wanting to do a restart so would have to completely clean. It would not be an easy task....plus as this Dev claims that they are still working on it and from how they reacted to a translation mod being made....I wouldn't be surprised if the Dev attempts to claim copyright or something against whomever attempts to do so.

So doubt an exact copy will be made....maybe a reskin instead if someone with the skills and time decides to do so.

Edit: Barely any game engines make it so the games packaged up/made from them can be opened up even partially to the same degree as how the developer had them shown to them during their development process. As a result modding games are usually done by using programs that essentially hack the games and allow you to do nearly open heart surgery on them while maybe blind or with no assistance. As with

you get a nice fairly customizable setup and display of roughly what the game looks like from multiple perspectives and an windows file explorer layout of the assets and code files that you can edit right away with standard coding software tool that can auto complete code or point out errors. The only biggest exception to this is Twine I believe since I've been able to put it and all the files back into Twine and pretty much work flawlessly to edit it all. I believe that as a result anyone whom mods a (non-Twine) game past an certain extent should have enough experience to attempt to make their own Very short game to see if they fancy and can deal with the extra work that can come with it all.

One of the sad flanks of a game... Still occasionally checking the Ci-en page to see it honestly feels like they are just drawing it out for money with no intention of updating the game...

 

[Rat-attack]

Which is why voting with your wallet is key these days, e.g. as I just realized today that Subverse early access was set for only a year....back in 2021, still not done and massively slowed progress and communication it seems, so I'm glad I still haven't purchased it as I would have been very disappointed with myself for buying before it was done and instead just because of hype and promises.

I know for sure that each member of the Subverse development team receive several hundred dollars per one day, so if I were one of them, I would sit in the same way for 50 years and make one animation, lining my pockets with stacks of bucks.

 

[Takku]

It's sad to hear what happened to the dev. I only found the game recently, and my heart sank when I saw the abandoned tag.

This game has such good animations, and the internal views are *chef's kiss*. I honestly feel like this game ruined other H-games for me, making me long for the same animation quality and internal views this game provides.

IF the dev decides to drop the project completely, I sure hope he/she passes it on, or makes it open source, so others can learn and build from it.

I sincerely hope the dev gets well soon, both physically and mentally. And finds peace at last!

 

[Rat-attack]

I severely doubt that the dev will make the project open source or pass it on as it's already rarely done as far as I've seen of projects having that done. Add in how this dev has been in the past when people attempted to make the project better......I'mma put a big negative multiplier on the chance of it occurring for this one.

The game's quality is absurdly high (I keep stealing from the shopkeeper hoping for that time to be the time where I unlock her as an enemy) compared to others and has made me raise my expectations for what I end up keeping as a result which does mean that my hard drives hate me less for feeding them less like pigs.

Are there any other games out there like this one? i really enjoyed the game and femdom is ma thing so i would really like to know if there are any other games out there like this one (with animated scenes) (probably not)

Other onee-shota soft femdom games with fluid gameplay and great animated h-scenes? You can pick only two and even this is asking for much.

There is no triple A level H game industry.....only unfinished aspirations that could have been the start of one. It's very hard to make games of a certain quality that aren't H games so adding in that aspect which requires a bunch of animation work and such....it's no wonder there's so many HTML/Ren'py/VN games which use clipped videos/gif/pictures with slight edits. (some of which are very good)

AAAA level games

Japan most certainly have a AAA H game industry.

hmtot your by far welcome to prove me wrong by DM'ing me a list of games that fit the bill although.....I was meaning that there is no overall AAA H-game industry not that a specific country doesn't.

What you you mean, "overall"? It just seems like you're moving the goalpost at this point. Koikatsu and SchoolMate are pretty easy examples of a AAA H game. These games are not vastly known in the west because porn is a taboo, but a LOT of money was spend in them and they are huge in Japan. Some of them have their own engine, too.
