VN Ren'Py Abandoned Navigating The Rift [v0.5] [TrippyDippity]

[struzi]

I already mentioned that lack of communication is the only valid reason for people getting upset.

You can overreact all you want, it causes more damage than it helps and you're the one who looks unhinged as a result, so it's your own cross to bear.

It is you who is being hyperbolic with biblical analogies and labeling opposing arguments as ''unhinged''.
I believe this thread is full of people who would support the dev if he just gave a little update on the project. Me being one of them.
There is worth in these comments and do not believe they are as damaging as you say. As long as people maintain a minimal level of decorum it should be fine. If no one cared there would be NO comments. (pics related).

I for one would be happy to know so many people cared enough to write about how much they wished for my project to continue and the sheer disappointment about the thought of it being abandoned.

Firstly, the term "your own cross to bear" is a common phrase that just means your own burden to carry. It's not hyperbole when people genuinely act like unhinged entitled losers who whine at the first sight of a downturn. Secondly, I'm not referring to your arguments as unhinged, I'm referring to the people who whine on this forum a bit too early for any whining to take place and defending the need to act that way as unhinged. If you want to be unhinged and whine, then so be it, that's your own cross to bear... again. Thirdly, there are devs that have outright abandoned their games or at the very least stopped interacting with the forum due to people who do this very thing.

This is a forum full of people who act entitled and whine and don't pay a damn thing to earn that privilege.

Right and you know who's supporting and who doesn't.

People who are supporting are LESS LIKELY to come to a piracy forum to complain when they have more direct access via Patreon and potentially Discord. Not a difficult concept to grasp.

you are completely regarted if you actually think people learnt about the game in any other place than piracy forums...

 

[Niraeza]

I tried to keep it civil.Seems you forget what you write when you're a mouth-breather. Tell me what do i have to pay to earn the privilege of having a opinion? And tell me what exactly did i whine about ?

You're clearly not following the basis of this entire discussion at all since you're not the only person I'm talking to. I've strictly been talking about PEOPLE, y'know the word that is referencing multiple persons, PEOPLE who are whining. Please please please, learn about reading comprehension before you start interjecting into a conversation. So far your only contribution to this discussion is putting words into my mouth and not understanding anything that's going on.

I agree with the fellows above, you're wrong in every single Aspect of your Comment, it is quite likely to come to the Piracy site at which one found out about the Game and knowing the "Dev" is there when he's gone Radio silent on Patreon hoping he may be active on the other Site or perhaps wrote something and didn't for his Patreons. Of course there is then the only Option left to come here and complain about. People can see this way there's something wrong and prevent them from wasting Money by supporting a silent "Dev" who don't even bother to type a few simple Words about what's going on, but you do you keep the Act.

I understand the point you're trying to make, but the people who you refer to are the minority of the supporters. Most people who support won't be coming here to complain, they'll complain to the source and leave it at that. I don't disagree that SOME supporters would come here and complain, hence why I use words like "less likely" or maybe some other indefinite term, but I know that most people that support won't come here to whine about it. Most people don't even comment on the forums in general and just come to browse games and nothing more. You've not convinced me that I'm wrong in any aspect of my comment.

Clear cut case of vocal minority, silent majority.

Yet you have zero data to back that claim up. You are just "guessing".

Well guess what? Most people go to patreon from pirate forums. They use them daily and discuss issues with the game with others who play the game here. I do it with every project I support. I know plenty other supporters of games I follow who interact in these forums. They are usually the most active people in the games threads.

So shove your preaching up your blowhole.

I might not be able to check site statistics, but a quick look at the front page and scrolling through the names of people who have joined years ago and have 0 messages or even a few messages, you'll find VERY quickly that most people just don't post. This is also not counting the 10k guests which is by itself 1/3 of the total online as of this post that account for people who don't post just in of themselves. If you think I don't have evidence just because I didn't post it when I made the claim, you're dead wrong. I'd in fact like to see you post evidence of the opposite of my claims being true.

Don't worry, I'll wait.

EDIT: Also, another data point to add.

453 replies and yet... 237k views. HMMMMMMMMMM... interesting.

And you have correlation between people complaining here not being patrons and the number of active users how?

Just by its nature, patreon is a horrible place to discuss the game you are interested in. Most posts have a few comments with almost no discussion. So people either go to discord or here. Considering I dont see a discord in the OP, this is the only place for both patrons and non patrons to discuss the game.

As for proof, you know you cannot access that data, but I am myself a proof. That definitely beats your sample size of 0.

Your proof is "just trust me bro, I support". Which amounts to a sample size of 0.

It doesn't matter whether or not Patreon is a "horrible place to discuss the game". You can still discuss it there whether it's horrible to do so or not. That's a moot point.

Well guess what? Most people go to patreon from pirate forums.

Also, I want to nip this point in the bud. I've not once made the claim that people DON'T go to patreon from pirate forums. This is some dumb shit some dumbass put in my mouth and for some reason I'm having to defend myself against this point.

 

[soheil94]

is this abandoned?

 

[SpankyM42]

It's not abandoned. People have just lost their collective shit because an update hasn't dropped on the date that the dev initially planned and there has been no communication from the dev as yet.
Until the dev either says he's abandoned it or drops an update, we wait.

Obviously people are going to say it's abandoned. You literally pointed out the reasons why people think it's abandoned, and it doesn't help that the creator is frequently on this site while not even giving a peep of information at all. The least the creator can do is give a small, "I'm sorry" update and say its over schedule.

 

[backtrackerist]

man you shouldve seen laura lusty secrets’ discord.

 

[backtrackerist]

the dev also misses the day where it’s supposed to drop

 

[Taboofan]

Checking in on this because It is still one of the hotter new game concepts I've seen in a long while. Hope to see more of it, and more discussions about the game rather than the creator and his lack of communication. There are several medical reasons for such, and honestly, there have been dozens of devs that have performed disappearing acts only to come back later.


Things I would like to see: a few more body modifications. Mentioned this before, but worth repeating. I would also like the player to be able to choose which mods to go with, IE, piercings or tattoos.

Some more 'make fun of the cucked' content without him knowing. Secret sex is awesome. Example: the CUcked guy gets sent to a new portion of the ship, where there's a strange power drain. Other guy and the woman follow, have sex, he hears it, but cannot find them, only finds a computer replaying a porn video while the actual couple get away scott-free. There's a lot of things you can do with the whole derelict ship setting.

Some indication that the work on the ship is making some headway. Think it would be the height of netorare if all the work the PC is doing is actually helping them escape, but by the time they do, his girl's been completely stolen, and he doesn't get the happy ending with the girl, but the other guy does.

Some indication of whether or not the main plot will still remain KN type, rather than something we can control. I am not objecting to doing a first run through with the game as a kinetic novel, and then going back and adding the ability to control things, that could make for interesting gameplay, especially if we can switch between all three characters.

body mofication is a nice way to waste devolopment time

 

[Pdr602]

Radio silence from the developer for 3 months on Patreon and here. Based forum rules that qualifies as abandoned, no?
