Dude, he's just a fucking liar. Period.No matter how much the work is, or how much help is received, it can be insurmountable when you're battling mental illness. When you're depressed even just getting out of bed can be a huge fight. I feel you.
But when it came to resolving the issue with patreon as soon as possible and getting free income back "depression" definitely didn't stop him. A weird kind of depression that only works to make money. Seriously enough, stop spreading this lie.When you're depressed even just getting out of bed can be a huge fight.
For those saying the game was too much work for Veq qith all the paths and what have you, just run back to earlier in the thread.
He had PhillyGames helping him and various other devs all chipping in, all for free and willing to help with whatever was needed.
He wasn't exactly alone and had help from some of the top devs here that were also able to get their own games out while helping others. On top of that he had offers from nearly all of his player base to help with little things from render farming to spell checking to translations.
He had all the help anyone could ever have asked for and a lot more help than some other devs get on here yet all he gave back was excuses.
I don't accuse devs of milking, i've never gone to threads of games that were obvious milk farms and I don't like painting devs in a bad light. I'm friends with quite a few devs on here, really good friends with a small number but some devs take the absolute piss and need calling out.
Throughout all of this devs absence and excuses he left payments open now I am an advocate of personal responsibility and everyone being aware of their own finances but you don't drop a game for years leaving payments open unless you are milking.
Reading those earlier posts the dev seemed really nice and genuine but here we are, a few years later and I don't think he's any better than the likes of Gumdrop anymore.
Dirty dev.
though i dont remember, a long time since Ive played it, "vaginal/anal sex" tag should indicate there are actual sex scenes in the game.This game abandoned second time I expected update but no hope in this game anymore -It started realy good with beatifull Milf-Mom and Hot Sis... Shame ...the realy bad thing that Mc didnt fuck anyone end with blue ballz
Hmm I just reread the thingy quoted below to refresh my memory. In hindsight it seems to be more about self-doubt than depression. Maybe it is a lie masquerading as a sob story, maybe it isn't. I know too little to argue truths.But when it came to resolving the issue with patreon as soon as possible and getting free income back "depression" definitely didn't stop him. A weird kind of depression that only works to make money. Seriously enough, stop spreading this lie.
What griped me was what was written at the end; to just leave Patreon "as is" while taking a break. Patronage is a symbiosis. Both benefit. You don't just decide to lose the effort but keep the pay. And going about it via an opt-out like this feels like it's taking advantage of those who don't stay up to date. That's a kick in the morality-groin.Hitting a wall
I've been thinking a long time about writing this post and I think it's the right move to be fully transparent here. These last few months were horrible and I am definitely going crazy taking the game apart and simply not being satisfied with both the content I'm currently working on and in the recent past.
There were moments where I was optimistic and thought "I will get there" if I just create and try out different versions of the scenes, and yet after all those attempts I end up going to bed feeling like I made the progress I can build on, only to find I scrap everything because it was horrible/unusable on the next day (It actually was horrible).
I would be lying if I said I don't feel burned out at this point.
Whenever I logged into discord, I just didn't know what to say, looking at how I am not delivering even though I am relentlessly grinding and spending my whole day on creating content for 0.08.5 for so long now.
I know people are waiting and have waited for some time now, but working on LaS now comes with pressure and stress to a point where it's almost crippling.
And that's what I want to announce in this post - I will be taking a break from working on LaS for the time being.
I'm sorry that I have to disappoint you guys, but I truly don't feel like I can keep going like this.
As for how long the pause on game development is going to be, I don't know, and to be honest, I don't want to set a date on it.
I will however still be checking into discord and maybe even make some posts about my thoughts on 3D related matters, but I really want to get a normal "relationship" with the project again, instead of waking up to a full day of failure and just feel like I am repeatedly hitting a wall.
While on the break I also plan to look into the script and I'm considering making changes to the dialogue or similar to avoid a repeat of the above. I don't want to run into something like this ever again and of course, I hope to come up with something that finally works.
I am not sure if it's simply a mindset thing or I may just be setting expectations for myself which I can't meet. Either way, I hope by taking a break I can both organize my life and get a healthy/normal sleep schedule once again. Also, I hope to get a less stressful mindset towards LaS in general (Which by all means is mostly self-imposed.).
As for the Patreon page, I've decided to leave things as they are for now as I have no idea how things are going to change (I will update the front page though).
I also completely understand that for many this is not professional nor acceptable, in that case, if you choose to drop or cancel your pledge altogether, I wholeheartedly want to thank you for checking out the game and for all previous support.
I will keep working on becoming the developer LaS and future projects need.
While this sucks, it is by no means the end. I will continue, I just can't say when that time will come.
For now, stay safe guys.
It would been one of the tops here, if it had frequent development. It's a shame but i still got hopes that some day it will be finnished (the question is by whom)men this game shouldn't been abandoned
No patch needed. You can set relationships after starting a new game.602 pages is a lot to go through, was there ever a renter/homeowner patch?
Only saw an option to change their name.No patch needed. You can set relationships after starting a new game.
