VN Ren'Py No More Money [v4.2.0 S4 Ep.2 GE] [RoyalCandy]

[TonyMurray]

I didn't hear about the about turn! Was there a post about it on the thread here or was it somewhere else?

It was posted on Patreon and reposted here.

 

[manmker123]

Read back some of the last pages.



(It's not abandoned anymore)

thank god!!

 

[arcade_nomad]

His Patreon post explaining it all was shared here, but you'll have to search for it as it was a while back, and lots of people added their own assumptions and interpretations afterwards...

Cant find but thnx for explaining.

Yeah I scrolled too and didn't have much luck. I found the post about him quitting the game, and why (which I'd read before), but not a post about him changing his mind and resuming. Not yet anyway.

Hey everyone,

I've been putting off writing this post for a while, but after seeing all your messages, I felt like it was time to share what's been going on. As you know, I've always tried to be upfront with you, but given what I do for a living, I've kept my personal life separate from this space. However, to explain where I'm at now, I'm going to have to open up a bit more than usual.

When I started this page back in 2018, I was a single guy who never imagined having a serious relationship or a family. But a lot has changed since then—I started a family and now have two kids, who are honestly the light of my life. But they're also the reason I've stepped away.

For a while now, I've been struggling with a kind of depression. I couldn't look my children in the eye knowing what my games promote. I felt ashamed, even disgusted with myself. What I thought was my “dream job” had turned into something I hated. That's why I decided to quit.

In the past few months, I've been trying to pivot to making SFW games. But since I've been doing this for so long, my mind kept going back to ideas that were... well, sexual. That's what I've always been good at. I thought I could finish No More Money, start something new, and maybe ask you guys how you'd feel about removing a certain taboo element that shows up in all my games. But honestly, I can't do it anymore.

I can't continue with No More Money. It's been breaking me to keep working on it, and I just can't do it anymore. I know you guys enjoy these games, and there's nothing wrong with that, but for me, it's personal. I'm not really a writer. I draw inspiration from real people in my life. Most of the characters you love from No More Secrets and No More Money were inspired by ex-girlfriends, friends, people I know, so it's hard for me to separate those feelings when I'm writing. I didn't value family before, so making taboo games was easy before, but I can't do that anymore.

So, I need to know where you all stand. I know walking away from another game is going to hurt my reputation, and I'm ready to face the consequences of that. But if I were to start No More Homework without the “household” taboo, would you still be interested in the game? I really need to know what kind of adult visual novels you're into now and how you feel about this shift.

I've included a few possible answers. Based on your responses, I'll decide what I'll do in the future.

Thanks for understanding and I apologize for everything.

And the initial post where he confirms the reversal of the decision, and continuing work on the game is here:

Hey guys,

After going through the poll results that I made last time, along with your comments and messages, I’ve come to a conclusion that I hope you’ll like.

Since you’ve all been so understanding about my situation, I think it’s only fair to give something back. So next week, I’ll be coming back to work and continuing development on No More Money. I plan to release a few more episodes, but I’ll be focusing mainly on the important parts of the story. I’ve decided to cut out some of the filler events, especially with characters that aren’t central to the plot or have . Also, I’ll be simplifying the endings a bit—not too much—but enough to wrap things up in a few updates without making it feel rushed.

Some of you have supported me from the very beginning, and it wouldn’t feel right to abandon the project or hand it off to someone else. I’ve put a lot into this game—time, money, effort—but so have you. So it’s only fair that I finish it properly, and then I’ll decide what comes next.

Just to clarify a few things about my situation: I’m not projecting myself onto the MC or weirdly relating to the game on a personal level. I can keep my personal life separate from the story. But when I started No More Money, I didn’t expect to end up resembling Erwin—a bit of a workaholic, with a wife I sometimes neglect because of work, and now two kids (a boy and a girl). That parallel hit a little too close to home. Still, the bigger issue has been around a certain fetish I’ve explored in the game. I’ve been feeling a lot of shame about that, and I know I need to make a change. It’s been a struggle for nearly two years, but I’ve made it this far—I can manage a few more months.

So, yeah, I’m getting back to work next week. The only hiccup is that, during my little “meltdown”, I ended up wiping my entire disk while trying to get some closure. So right now, I don’t have any of the No More Money project files. The good news is, I should still have all the characters, locations, and most of the game files on the machine I used for rendering animations, so I’m hopeful I will recover everything I need to keep going.
Unfortunately, a few events from the episode I had already written are probably lost. I really wish I could get those back, and I’m sorry about that.

I’ll keep you all updated, and thank you again for being so patient during these past three months—I really needed that time.

P.S. I will try and reply to all your messages, fix any missing links, bugs next week when I get back to work!

Bests,
Jason

Thank u very much for spending ur time to find this.

Thats one of the most legit believable fair reasons I've heard abt abandoning a game, hope he's doing fine and the game will be great as it was before.

I have zero interest in his games if there are no incest. Pretty sure most people play for Charlotte and Tris. honestly I can’t even remember the other characters’ names. They were just generic with bland stories.

Yeah, I like incest, and that has nothing to do with real life, like they’re completely different things. The worst reason I have ever seem.

Exactly, I love the genre/fetish too but have literally zero attraction to any family members, in fact I'd say I have negative attraction to most of my family members. It's just a kink for I'd bet 99% of people who play games and read stories like these.

Like you said I play this game and love this game for Charlotte and Tris, hopefully the devs crisis of conscience doesn't affect those characters badly moving forward

Same boat. It's probably my biggest kink, but is strictly a fantasy. Just the thought of doing anything sexual with any of my irl family members instantly makes me want to throw up. And after everything I've read over the years, I also suspect that with the vast overwhelming majority of people with the kink it's the same situation.

Maybe it's somewhat similar to all the women who have "grape" fantasies (not sure how bad the censorship here is ). They can go on in detail about what they find hot about it, but if you ask every one of them if they'd ever want it to *actually* happen, 99.999% of them would say "No. Absolutely not." for completely obvious and understandable reasons.

All that being said, I'm not a parent. As a *son*, I can differentiate between the two. But that's no guarantee that it'd be the same if I ever had kids of my own. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if it was a situation where his wife is *not* the type that would understand and be cool about it (or wouldn't completely freak out and file for divorce, etc.) if she ever found out. So that could also possibly be a contributing factor as well. Obviously that's just speculation though.

The music was magnificent, I agree. I strongly recommend getting a few songs from the first seasons and playing them yourself at the right moment...

Hi guys,
How is everybody doing? I hope you all had an amazing week!

PROGRESS STATUS
This week, I’ve mainly been focusing on posing scenes and preparing some work for Lovorko(which I'm not done yet).
However, I was held back a bit while setting up the new machine. After spending two days troubleshooting, I decided to call it quits for now at least until the software I’m using releases a more stable version.

If you're not interested in the technical explanation, you can stop reading here.

For those of you who are not interested in the technical explanation the post ends here.

TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
As I mentioned last week, I bought a new rendering machine, which is significantly better than the previous one. Unfortunately, using the Daz 2025 Alpha version is no longer an option. The viewport is extremely laggy. Once I have two characters and a decently sized environment (anything bigger than a small room), the scene becomes almost impossible to navigate.

So, I thought I’d use the old machine for posing and the new one just for rendering. But it didn’t work out. I tried four different scripts for batch rendering, even attempted to write one myself, but nothing worked. I can only render one scene at a time, which doesn’t work well when I’m creating 30–40 scenes per day. Loading them one by one is just not great.

On top of that, I’ve noticed other issues with most of the tools I use inside Daz.

So for now, if you know any developers considering switching to the 50xx series—please tell them to wait. It’s just not worth it yet.

That being said, I wish you all an amazing weekend,
Jason
