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

[MyQso]

It is already normal that 1 out of every 100000... video games, is *finished or not abandoned and 1 out of 100000... is really worth its price, but meanwhile they charge you, for unfinished deliveries without any guarantee that they will be finished.

Well so far so good is the essence of capitalism, if someone pays you for shit or smoke, without breaking laws, no one prevents you, have you never seen packaged air for sale? ...well that, as they say there will always be some fool to buy it.

It won't be long before they charge for fixing their bugs, or do they already do that?


* finished, it doesn't mean it's out of early access, or that it's an official release, or any name or designation they make up.

Wow sorry, I didn't know that to give an opinion you have to ask permission or that it has to seem relevant to someone, my apologies gods and masters of the forum.

You don't need to ask permission. However, when you post something, others may have questions about what you mean, because I can see no connection of what you wrote with this game. And that actually it would need, for general off topic issues should go to the off topic section of this forum. So it would need to seem relevant to at least someone.

Aaaammmmm, well I'm sorry that you do not see the relationship, for me it has a lot, and you have not asked any question, you have attacked my comment directly as a question, which is not the same, anyway I did not intend to discuss nonsense with anyone, just give an opinion, goodbye majo.

Well, would you mind sharing the connection then? Because I still don't see how a general observation about games and devs (with obviously exaggerated numbers) fits this particular game and dev.

You're free to give an opinion, but;

a) It needs to be on-topic as this thread is for discussing the game

b) Nobody needs your permission to question you on anything you write. Especially when it's you writing bland generalised crap about people and their money. Welcome to the internet.

(some arrows)

Why do you think if they can't read, they can follow your arrows?

Guys, why the bile/sarcasm? Apparently a lot of people have serious doubts about what a story dubbed "dark" could be about. We all read the notice on page one. The author chose not to reveal the plot, which is correct, since it would spoil the fun to some. For my part, I'm really tempted to check the "dark story" out, but hesitate, because of the loaded title. "Dark" to me represents irredeemable evil, as opposed to "morally dubious" which is what we adults often waddle in, the so-called "grey zone". Actually, Poe was a clever one naming one of his darker stories "Gray". "Dark" makes me think about murder, suicide, cruelty, sadism or ending in a degraded, humiliated, miserable state - I don't feel inclined to play a game focused on those themes. On the other hand, to a lot of people, subjects like lust, corruption (as in loss of innocence), cheating, falling into temptation are dark themselves, whereas I would rate them "morally dubious" and would definitely play a game that featured such themes in an intelligent way, especially if it allowed for a resolution that didn't fall into a "crime&punishment" category. Don't need games to be lectured in "middle-class morality", there's plenty of Pharisees to put up with in everyday life.

Hence why I would join others here who, despite having read what the author wanted to say about the dark path, would kindly request a few tags, even full-on spoilers about what the dark story is about, and whether each subject is forced or avoidable.

Thanks you!

Apparently you failed to notice the tag on every page that this game is abandoned. There has not been a single word from the developer about anything for nearly a year, so I doubt that he is going to provide any more information about the 'dark side' spinoff for you or anyone else.

"Apparently you failed to notice" - I didn't, someone else might reply who played the dark story, isn't that what people do in these threads all the time? Not saying I'm entitled to be satisfied with the answer I'm seeking, I simply asked, like others did. Also didn't fail to notice the dark story is probably unfinished, like the main one, but would still like to know what type of content there is, since a few users have cared to leave a note of praise about it. Why does a simple question trigger the aggressive response?

Apparently you missed, that in the OP there is a link to a post where the dev, at the time, has written what the "dark story" is. And to be just nice OP means Opening post and that is what the Counts arrow was pointing to.

Also, I do find it very interesting that often others need to voice their concern about answers they didn't even asked.

 

[KnightOwlSC]

Too bad so many of the scenes with the hottest character require you to include that big nasty wife of yours..

I asked a question myself, having previously searched the thread, which I always do, to see if it had been answered before. Found that others asking the same question, which is NOT answered in the spoiler-tagged link in the OP, that Count's arrows pointed at, had gotten nothing but sarcasm in return. My mistake if I pointed that out, rather than just asking my question! The author's post linked in the OP says absolutely nothing about the dark story's plot, only that it was written as a means to overcome the author's writers' block.

WTF are you doing here? I asked a question myself, having previously searched the thread, which I always do, to see if it had been answered before.

The author's post linked in the OP says absolutely nothing about the dark story's plot, only that it was written as a means to overcome the author's writers' block. Why do you "respected users" feel entitled to shit on posters for no reason? You're toxic waste bags!

First of all, calm your tits.
Second, he wasn't shitting on you. There was nothing insulting or demeaning directed at you in his post, unlike your bout of white-knighting that's come out of left-field.

Instead of trying to berate people giving answers, take a look at what's been asked, and if it could've been asked better with different/more accurate wording.

Oh, and if you really want to know what being shit-on by someone here is - You haven't asked any question prior to your first post of unnecessary white-knighting.
This is all your account's posts in this thread.

Next time, check what you've actually posted in a thread, just so you don't get shown to be a liar.

I take the hit. My first post failed to be a simple question although I also described what exactly I was trying to learn about the dark story, but I guess my short description of what would make a "dark" story unplayable to me would also have rubbed some people off the wrong way. I didn't mean to "preemptively berate" the game, or a variant of the game, or the author, or anyone whose preferences differed from mine. Like many others, just wanted to know if the story was something I'd like to play. I was defensive towards getting a similar, unhelpful reply, as others got, can't say your crafty screenshot doesn't make that clear. I should have worded my post better as my intention was not to criticise, but to ask a question. The matter is that there is a variant posted in the OP, and a description of it that doesn't give you more than a hint at what the author's mood was when writing it, some people are cautiously curious and ask what it's about, all get pointed back to the OP and assumed as not having read the answer to their question. Would it be harder to post a helpful answer instead?

I assumed, the tags doesn't help either?


Game would be too much of a credit. Sure, paths are there, yet it is short and for now, it is entirely written in the stars if this or the "real" game will be continued.
For what it is rape, sleep sex and extortion..

Thanks, I thought the tags all referred to the main game (probably do) and assumed they didn't include the dark story. If rape, sleep sex and extortion are perpetrated by the MC, it's not for me, though I'm still curious because of the good feedback (not saying the themes themselves can't make a well written story, just not that keen on reading it myself to appreciate it).
