VN Ren'Py Abandoned Lexi [v0.052] [Chatterbox]

[m0us3r]

Is there a (more or less complete) story plot?

(I'm sorry I didn't read all this thread, I just recently found this game, and I would like to help it to be finished.)

I think that the first step for finishing "Lexi" would be to write the story, or at least to outline it.

Then it could be possible to flesh it out with dialogs, and then adding any suitable renders would progress it.

So what do you think about this:

• Create a wiki where volunteers like myself could develop and discuss the story?

(You could be surprized how much can be done this way; some large software platforms like Firefox, many GitHub projects etc. were done mainly by volunteer cooperation. As for the quality of the story, don't be pessimistic, guys. Collective mind can be surprizingly powerful sometimes.)

There are free wiki platforms, including private teams; so it requires ZERO investments.

I personally am not interested in profiting from this; just helping to see it done one day is good enough for me. And I see no problem if some other guys use my contribution for commercial gain.

So, side problems aside, what do you think about this first step?

(Discuss and develop the story.)

(It totally wouldn't contradict other plans like creation of proper dev studio.)

I loved the art work, characters and story of the game... Sad news its abandoned..... RIP.....

My english is not too good, can someone shortly tell me, whats happened? Development problems? Missing developers? If im not wrong i think that MrDots offered their help and none of you went into it.
If it makes sense to do something, do it and finish it - for Chatterbox.

I never got a formal offer from Dots. The only thing I got was a message asking to barrow Lexi's modal for a tribute render and my understanding is there busy with DMD and SL. Don't know where those rumors came from?

There is a main story overview. The side stories were going to be tailored to each character based on who was popular at the time based on Patreon feedback like most games.

I think at least both daughters would be popular, and the hotel owner, and perhaps that classmate. So it would be no mistake to develop all their stories.

What do you think about volunteer collaboration?

I would like to read what you have of the story, and I might share a few ideas.

(...) happy to keep milking money (...)

I share your feelings. Still, it is said on Patreon that there was a freeze for November & December, and I think it might continue in 2021, so it's not as simple as you said.

Maybe if we are more constructive and welcoming, there are more chances to get this back on track.

he has explained his circumstances and his opinion on how to proceed multiple times now, and reminded everybody that they can always opt out of supporting the patreon.. and most of us don't really pay a dime for the games we download from here.

so you guys tried, or didn't try working together on this and neither of you were happy or satisfied... is it worth staying salty over?

 

[gtz-god]

Or they could have suspended Patreon like an honest dev would do (plenty of examples here) but no, they are happy to keep taking money from people for no reason other than its free money. I support quite a few games on Patreon and Subscribestar so their attitude really sticks in my throat.

why the good games Always
Abandoned

I'll miss it, one of my first favorites and nothing else compares to it or has the same potential.

Very true, I agree. Story of Lexi, where it goes and what it has to offer is one of my favorites

I hope that his work will inspire others to create new stories and games

It did



I urge everyone to not be so harsh on gamersglory and the project. He is a very hard working guy but It's not easy to just jump into someone's else's shoes ESPECIALLY if those shoes belonged to someone that talented. Creating a game on its own is a very demanding process so I for one respect the decision of holding back till it can be done properly. Besides it's not just that, to do this particular vision justice.. well it requires let's say a "special touch". So you see odds are kinda against him and he still wants to make it happen. Just keep that in mind.

Thought I'd check where this was at and saw the abandoned tag. Well, Shit.

Nothing will ever replace Lexi, but... Hillside has a similar feel (bodyguard looking after a young girl)

 

[Gh0st_Harambe]

Another game to the trash bin, this is very disappointing just like Connected..

I don't know if most of you have read earlier post but to those of you whom haven't the original dev sadly passed away ....... the guys taking over had worked with chatterbox and said they were going to continue to make it but it would take time to get it right and try to make chatterbox's vision a reality maybe they'll do it or maybe not it's just a lot to be thrust on one's self please be kind and understanding

Sorry to say you guys, but Chatterbox the developer of this game, has passed away.
