Update v0.39 John Doe Path:

Release date:
June*

*(The release date of the update is an estimate and can't be considered binding)

Playable days: Sunday - John Doe Path

Scheduled:

  • John Doe Path - Renderings (20%)
    • Battles (0/???)
    • Animations (???) I will probably create one, maybe two animations
    • Dialogues (0%)
    • Programming (0%)
    • Testing (0%)
Keep the save folder between updates. It needs to be transferred!

The lack of interest, reflected in the sharp and repeated drop in subscriptions, will affect the duration of the update. It may be concluded earlier than expected, not only due to low interest, but also because of the growing intent to pirate the game and play it for free!

is there any chance there would be a new Ghellar content?

Damn, ghellar and manila sex scenes are the hottest so far in the game. I would like to see an ending where Manila would have the choice to meet Ghellar again, and becomes his sex slave. And they would have an intense non-stop fuck session

From what I remember of playing through the whole game there's a few gaps of information/content. Like when the police-boss had some thoughts about a loose connection with the underworld regarding a bribe, as an example. Those gaps could lead up to a sequel if the dev feel in the mood for making one. I hope we will get another game with Manila.
The story around her has been top notch. But for this game it looks to me it wouldn't be much more content to expect.

This has been, for years, one of my favourite games (and still is). Big props to Abaddon for creating it and all the time and effort he has put in. I do think it's time to wrap it up though and look at something new. I'm in agreement with most that as soon as you get the long-winded train scene fight-onwards the game goes a bit... well... all over the place.

It was great as a "cop / civilian" game balancing between the two and uncovering some shady business, but hey I've only been a patreon a few times so my opinion/what people want/what Abaddon does is down to him. I love the fight club, the dojo and then everything inbetween.

Good 3DCG games are a dying breed (please correct me if I'm wrong/give me some to play lol).

Games like Officer Chloe, Anna's Adventure (still ongoing), Elena's Life (dead), Sarah's Life (dead), Downfall: Story of Corruption (ongoing), Adventures of Tara (sort of), Lida's Life (you get the jist by now/idea hopefully)... I'm just glad we've got to play this game given how much more content it has vs. a lot of other games (and paths!)

I just hope he looks to create a brand new game.

Abaddon wrote this a couple of weeks ago:

If I start a new game in Ren'py, it would still take place in Manila's world, with both old and new characters. The protagonist would be Manila's daughter, and both Manila and Jason would appear as well. I also have two other ideas in mind: one with a male protagonist (still set in Manila's world), and another game (also made in Ren'py) with a female protagonist. But these are just ideas for now — I’ll decide later whether to develop them. In any case, everything would be made in Ren'py.

the problem is the motivation, low income > low motivation > less content developed in an update that needs 3-4 months to finish ... just hope new game gonna be popular if it were to happen

Rather than making a new game (in the same world, moreover), I think the dev should erase everything he has done since v.33 (motel, metro etc.) and restart the game in "normal" mode with quests and a story without the crazy powers, fights, kami etc. It's a shame, the game was already good as it was before, with Lt Storm, Ghellar, Burk etc. It's just my opinion. ;)

Notice: Next week I will need to renovate my workroom and change my PC, so there may not be a release of the weekly post.
