No clue why you write in all caps. No I can't. I don't do any sort of coding at all. It's best to just enjoy this game as is and hope one day Phalzyr comes back or move on.

I'd start accepting the latter. I wouldn't blame him at all if he never came back after what happened.

NXT UPDATE

If you would spend your time reviewing the last several pages of this forum, you may have not ask when the next update. Also there is no reason for you to use all CAPS, unless you are absolutely pissed off, then it would express your anger. Otherwise using all CAPs is like yelling at everyone like drill Sergent yelling at new recruits who knows nothing. Another word, it more disrespectful to use CAPs often.

Now, since you seems to be lazy. Phalzyr is on a "retirement" or "temporary retirement". I have to respect him for what he had done over the years. At this moment, highly suggest we all respect his space and peace for time being. He has personal things that is more important than any of the mod or games he has done. All we need to do is to back off and give him space and please stop asking for "Updates". I do have strong feeling that he may be permanently retired (hopefully I am incorrect), however there may be chance that he just needs to have a long break, which it does seems that he just need to space out and relax and do what he need to do with his personal life. Do not ask me what may have happen, I do not want to know. Those who wants to know, need to review several pages ago or other F95 forums that he has been in as well.

Have a great day and be safe... (y)

For anyone not into being given commentaries from high horses (I name no names), here's a quick rundown.

First, I agree that using all caps in a careless manner is not polite. Save it for things actually worth the shouting.

Second, if rumors on f95zone are to be believed, Phalzyr's wife passed away. That's allegedly what happened to him, and he has understandably decided to take a break from porn games as far as we know. It is unfortunate I know neither him nor more details about his life to have more information to offer you.

Finally, I think we are generally in agreement that we hope he will return...someday.

Edit: I just went to the front page of this very thread and took a look at Phalzyr's Patreon page. It is empty. I checked the comments and it seems the page has been closed down entirely, the only thing that remains being Phalzyr's personal account.

I do not want to jinx things, but it seems the possibility of Phalzyr's return is slim. Perhaps we should focus efforts more on replacing him, if we cannot reliably reach out to him, whether it be to offer our sympathies or to attempt to persuade him to return.

Oh, bummer about nopy, URL:

Message in quotes from their site:

"Nopy started as a side project in June 2017, with the goal of creating a sustainable, ad free, privacy focused, full speed file hosting service. Despite some issues here and there, we're incredibly proud to say that we were successful for these past 4 years. We never imagined this weekend project would grow to serve 10s of millions of files and over 15 petabytes of bandwidth every month. Even more astounding is the level of support nopy received from the userbase, fueling our growth and allowing us to maintain a high level 100% community driven service.

However, unfortunately we are now no longer able to continue operating, due to issues with payment processors. We use Patreon and Buymeacoffee for collecting donations, who in turn use Paypal, Stripe, and Payoneer for payouts. Stripe payouts are only available in a limited number of countries. Our PayPal account was abruptly banned last year with no explanation or option to appeal. Finally, we started having issues with Payoneer 3 months ago, with severe delays in reissuing an expired debit card, and suddenly a couple of weeks ago they completely blocked our account, again with no explanation other than "it's under review", and no further response.

This means, as of now, we have lost all ability to receive payouts from our fundraising platforms, so are unable to continue paying the $6000 server bills. We've looked at other options like other crowdfunding platforms (the majority use Stripe/Paypal/Payoneer), accepting credit card donations directly (ideally need a legal entity in US/EU for VISA/MasterCard), crypto (not widespread enough/sustainable), registering as an LLC in US or EU (having to deal with sales tax/VAT/international tax law/IRS/etc), and ultimately we've come to the conclusion that there is no realistically viable alternative at the moment. Nor do we want to sell or transfer ownership of nopy just to have it plastered in ads, completely undermining the very reason why nopy was created in the first place.

It's impossible for us to put into words how disappointed we are that nopy has come to an end, especially as it is due to third party payment processors, rather than issues with the service itself or a lack of support from our userbase. We will pause the Patreon campaign, and keep the code, database, and files backed up. If we are able to make a come back in the future, then we certainly will. Those with accounts are still able to login and delete files from the backup if you so wish. The code is unlikely to be open sourced, as things would need to be tidied up quite a bit, but we'll see.

We'd like to give a massive thanks to all the fantastic people who supported nopy throughout the years, nopy wouldn't have lasted more than 6 months without your generosity. Additionally, a final thanks to those who offered their help, expertise, advice and support out of the kindness of their hearts (especially PixelRepublic, Ryahn, and jimmy). "

Have a great day and be safe... (y)
