VN Ren'Py Abandoned Lara Croft and the Lost City [v0.4.9] [Old DVD]

[Honey King]

Is that a good thing? It seems more scummy than anything else to hide that he's taking money as a dev that's abandoned both games he's worked on.

People should know what they're getting into if he's receiving money from them.

Kinda wild to call a guy “scummy” when he spent three years working on his game for like a hundred bucks a month — and still gave out free links to people who’d stopped donating. I even got one in my DMs with a note like, “Here’s the link, sorry the update took so long.” Never seen another dev do that.

Any dev will drop a game if it doesn’t bring in money — it’s just a matter of time. This one kept going for three years; most give up after one or two updates.

I’d love to see Eva Kiss or DecentMonkey trying to get by on a hundred bucks a month. Pretty sure they’d tell everyone to fuck off within a month.

idk man, didn't he tried the first game with maleficent with same model and abandond it midway?, and now its the same case again. what's stopping him to try again with another angelina jolie model of femme fatale game just to abandond it mid development? it's like banging your head to the wall and expect different result if you just change your position little bit to the left

No idea if he’s gonna use the Jolie model in his next game. He said he doesn’t want people to recognize him, but come on — with that model, everyone’s gonna know it’s him instantly

Well, honestly i don't care so much about his past, if he comes with another name wanting to try again he is free to do that, at that point he will be just another new dev that will have to build his reputation. Of course that would be pointless if he have to come just to drop the game again after some updates but I believe into giving people second/third/forth chances since people may learn from their past errors. Will he? Honestly we can just hope so, his works were really good quality imho, i would really have more, hoping that he will find whatever he needs to keep working on a project to its end. All in all we (as gamers) can only benefit if he does and coming back with another name would give him less pressure.

My suggestion to Old DVD (hoping that he still reads here) is to take his time to plan his future game. Evidently something went bad with the past ones, maybe focusing on a single (even if goregeous) protagonist made him feel too cramped after some updates, maybe the issue is this kind of vertical narration or maybe he just find himself stuck due lack of planning the plot in advance. Only he can know what made him quit his past works so just look at those and avoid to do the same mistakes again.

... but I believe into giving people second/third/forth chances since people may learn from their past errors. Will he?....

Okay then, let's release all serial killers, pedophiles, terrorists, and those sentenced to life imprisonment early. They'll have their "second/third/forth" chance.

Yes, because this forum is to talk about serial killers and terrorists... I met the word "context" while coming here, it was looking for you, probably you missed it.

 

[KlausSeinth]

Ah, shoot. It's abandoned...

Yesterday I met a couple of mental hospital orderlies on the street, they were looking for an escaped patient, I immediately thought of you, after their word "wierdo". But now you're locked and blocked, inside your "context" world.
have a nice day.

 

[anminter17]

Incredible late response to tell me after 2 months that i'm blocked. I for sure won't be able to sleep tonight after this incredible revelation... And i'm the wierdo here because seems like i can understand the context of a discussion? LMAO, have a nice life mate, i wish your happines (even if you won't even read this post).

Abandoned, a true shame, it was really good.

Abandoned, a true shame, it was really good.

Not just abandoned, but abandoned in the middle of a scene.

This one really hurt and I hope the dev recovers and one day can come back to this.

 

[dreminh]

is this true abandoned or just f95 auto flag for those not update over time ?

 

[Old DVD]

The dev is doing fine, but he’s working on a different project now. When the demo is ready, I’ll release it. I don't know when it will happen, but I want to create a lot of content.

Of course, the new project will be released under a new account — both on Patreon and here. I guess maybe 1% of people who played Lara will suspect it’s that same developer, but there won’t be any proof.

As for Lara, I simply can’t work on that game anymore. To me, it’s one big mistake and a symbol of wasted time. I even have a hard time opening this thread — I try not to look at the screenshots or the header image.

As for the ‘Old DVD’ account, this is the last time you see it. I just wanted to clear things up so there’s no speculation.

Sad, that you think of it this way.

You made basically the same VN two times and abandoned it. Both of them I liked a lot as I like watching lesbian BDSM relationships.

I have no idea which complaints you had about your work but hope you will be Happy with your new Story then.

Godspeed and have a good 2026!

That’s the last thing you need to worry about. Lezdom is a must in all of my games.

If you regularly check games with the female protagonist tag on F95, you’ll run into my game in a few months anyway.

Oh shit man, I hadn't read that post... what Lara did to you? Anyway, good luck with your new project... I hope for the same kinks and an FMC as well, and... Let Lara in her dungeons, she is better there lol
