VN Ren'Py Abandoned Midlife Crisis [v0.34 - v0.1 Dark] [Nefastus Games]

[lemonfreak]

whether it's abandoned for ghosting or officially abandoned through a statement, it's still abandoned. i dont believe i needed any more info than what i had.
what puzzles me though, is you taking my general uncommitted statement of surprise as some kind of personal attack.

Yes, that's my point, nobody knows so there's no point in asking. Maybe Nef has decided to give up on MLC, maybe he's having writer's block and is too ashamed to say anything after promising v0.35 was nearly ready or maybe he's having more health issues (a heart problem saw hospitalised a couple of years ago meaning he was radio silent for several months and almost earned the abandoned prefix then

The point, again, is that he hasn't said anything so we nobody knows and all this conversation is doing is creating alerts that give others false hope hence I'm unwatching the thread for a while (I also left his discord for that reason)

It was a good game with a lot of point of view

 

[Eisbaerle]

I hope Nefastus will return.. I liked this game very much

Honestly, at this point I just hope that Nef can pull himself together to make that happen and give this game the ending it deserves.

That scene is really all that is necessary to bring things to a conclusion. It may feel a bit rushed (ideally it should be led up to in 2 or so updates) but this game does deserve an ending and a rushed one is better than nothing.

MLC needs a Sisterly Lust style ending with baby bumps all around.

In this case, it just means 3 months of no contact. Status of game development is completely unknown as the dev is MIA.

Then there need to be a lot more games getting the abandoned tag also...
But I just hope all is well for the Dev as this has been such a great story with such interesting parts to it, so want it to be fully made and not left undone...

I get it. I only play a few harem games, as I'm mainly a romantic monogamist.

I absolutely hate harems, they're boring. I want drama and conflict not 'ooo fuck whoever you want I don't care as long as you fuck me'. Feels like half of those games are catered to hormonal 18 year old teenagers.

I mean, if you don't like harem games then why are you on thread for harem game? Seems weird for me to hang around on thread that caters to kink i don't share and try to kink shame those that do have the kink.

I think it's not so black and white. This game didn't start as a harem game, it started with the MC cheating on Sandra. First with his daughter's friends and then with his daughters themselves, but to a large extent they were also not fully aware of what the MC was doing.

The MC left everyone in the dark and after they began to figure it out, they were (miraculously) ok with it, or slowly coming to grips with it, and even getting excited by it. The various girls took their own amount of time to come to grips with the new situation.

Essentially this is a cuckqueen game instead of harem. But what makes it work is that it's quite light-hearted and humorous. As snowman44 said, there is drama, but not the tear-wrenching kind.

The logical ending would be a harem, but the path towards it isn't. And that is what makes this game good and quite unique.

The fact that you fail to understand that this post is the written example for definition of Abandonment. That utterly blows my mind.

What the poster states is true. The owner disappeared for 3 months. No responses, no reach out, no acknowledgement. Leave your daughter at school for 3 months and see if the point, again, is that you havent said anything so the school doesnt know and all this conversation is doing is creating alerts that give false hopes. (Obiously, that is written poorly. I simply reworded your own post to fit the scenario)

Sir or madam, that is abandonment.

Now, onto real post. It's a true shame that such an active and beloved game goes dark, whether true abandonment or break doesn't matter. This was one of the good harem games.

No, it isn't. You have to take Nef's history in to account and then it's a whole different story.

Then for what in all that is good and holy are you doing hanging around this VN?

 

[Joshy92]

Let's hope this comes back its one of the few harem games I actually enjoy and my goodness I want to see Christine and Amanda have some hot lesbian action.

It's a shame the game isn't on steam I would have liked to add it to my collection.

 

[ToshinRaizen]

why its always the good 1 that got abandoned...

Seems like the only developer in the entirety of the AVN space that has his shit together is Moonbox - consistent quality and timing of updates, no excuses, no being born again and quitting, no starting over or incompatible saves - just a steady stream of content with no bullshit. Everybody else just seems to half-ass it in comparison. Ah well.

While I love MB and his VN, that statement is just idiotic.

Do you train to sound sooo spoiled and entitled or is it a natural talent?

Yeah, but his updates are also rather short. Just lots of repeat/same renders over and over, just dialogue changes. Plus he doesn't really try too hard with the positions of the models for the characters. He just puts them together that seems funny/interesting, but just makes me shake my head. He's not trying for any type of serious content. Which is fine, it's his game and the direction for his game. But doesn't take as much time to work out a proper story/plot.
