VN Ren'Py Abandoned Nothing Is Forever [v0.7.3] [MrSilverLust]

[Turret]

I dunno, it's a deck builder game so not even in the same league as NiF. But, it is on steam so who knows. Maybe people actually like that kinda thing.

As long as Mr.Silverlust does not turn out to be a second Iondivvy, it is ok, but this silence is disturbing. In Iondivvy´s case it began the same. First he gave a tall tale that his second game would have no to minimal impact on development of "Casual Desires", the game which put him on the map!
For those not following that game, the last two updates were disappointingly small and the time to the coming update is steadily encroaching the 1 year mark! You get three guesses on which game that liar concentrates to this day.
And he has the gall to say he will not answer all "hostile" posts, which "curiously" are the posts of the CD fans, no mater how acidly or nicely written they are. And to put it bluntly, that the CD fans are getting impatient and pissed is no wonder.

So hopefully Mr.Silverlust will turn out to be different.

This game is also on Steam, it's where I got it from. It's been a while for updates on both games, so it may be RL stuff that is causing the delay. If Dev doesn't say, we can't know.

Are you talking about the Deck game? Did you get the demo? Because for me, it hasn't been released yet.

 

[MrSilverLust]

Sounds like it could easily be another month before we get an update.

Or longer... no idea.

Yes, it's a real shame. When the game first came out in EA on Steam it had pretty regular updates.

If you guys have these kind of expectations, it's normal that you end up disappointed.

I'd ask that you please go read the last post on patreon which has a super detailed breakdown of my productivity since the launch of the game. The last updates were as productive as ever, there has been no slowdown, and you can see my average productivity: it averages to around 76 lines of dialogue, 5 renders and 0,15 animations per day.

You can also see the size of the previous chapters: between 15000 and 19000 lines, around 11000 renders and 50 animations. Now it's easy to do the math. Since it's been 67 days since that post, you can expect me to have written 5104 lines of script, did 351 renders, and 10 animations in that time. That's what, a fourth of a chapter?


But we are already back at talking about delays, just needing another month, how previous updates were more regular, etc. I understand that you guys just like the game and want more, but it's not realistic that you expect me to work 4x faster than I ever did. Unfortunately, my days don't have 96h.


Anyway, I hope this gives a better idea when to expect updates.

I loved that sweaty scene with Bri...I hope we can have more of that!

The difference between happiness and misery, is unfulfilled expectations. Now that we know what to expect, we can all be happy.

Is there a lot of cuckold content or not because I want to play the game for that?

 

[Bloodguard]

Is there a lot of cuckold content or not because I want to play the game for that?

Definitely not a lot. Only one true Cuck scene that I remember, with one variation, though there are a lot of cheating options.

 

[Pr0GamerJohnny]

Is there a lot of cuckold content or not because I want to play the game for that?

Like blood said above, no -however there's a fair amount of reverse-cuckold content if you're into that; what with Carl and Deb or later bitchface and her boyfriend...

Thanks a lot i will try it

 

[Vlbc]

Anyone can say to me which girls have a Sharing/cuckold path?

Such a good story in this game i can not wait to see my dear Emma, Jen, Deb, Olivia, Lea.

 

[kino2]

does this game plan to have impregnation content in the future?

 

[Gicoo]

does this game plan to have impregnation content in the future?

Not known, but it wasn't listened as a fetish and the game is mainly about starting a relationship, so it may only be a thing in the epilogue.

 

[Dessolos]

does this game plan to have impregnation content in the future?

with how the relationships are handled in this one while im most likely wrong out of the paths ive played. I can really only seeing that being a thing with Emma and maybe Jen but that one is iffy unless there is some kind of time jump or the MC just goes ahead to decides to quit and lose his license.

 

[reidanota]

There are multiple ntr/cuckhold routes, with Lea and Kim too

Are there any NTR routes with a MC that is NOT submissive? I've looked around and this seems to be the rarest thing. And rarity makes it sweet, doesn't it? A majority of NTR in games depends on the MC either being a sub, or making unassertive choices, with the outcome of being cucked without having the balls to claim even a share of the pie. Or getting their LI outright stolen from them. Why does it always have to be the MC's choice that drives the story? Most NPCs in games are shallow and, be it through paths or points, they adapt themselves to the player. It's so rare to see a game where NPCs have their own agenda, regardless of whether the player is submissive, dominant or just easy-going. For my part, I'd love to play a game where a LI will cheat independently of the MC's actions, because they're cheats, free spirits or sluts. It's ok for characters to be flawed. It's ok for players to decide how to deal with their LI's flaws, just as with their own. It's ok to forgive and not be portrayed as submissive cuckolds. A game where relationships were a bit more dynamic and less player-centric, had highs and lows, would be great. Personally, I enjoy some jealousy, but NOT what you'd call a "bad ending" where you're an accepting cuck or get dumped. Most NTR paths don't offer any off-ramps - you may get a choice to avoid it, but once on that path, you're done for. Why does NTR have to correlate with weak willed characters?

Does this game has that kind of nuance?

I have to say you are conflating cheaters with free spirits and sluts! Being a free spirit and/or a slut does not make you a cheater. Both can be completely loyal persons.

You're not entirely wrong, but you missed the "it's ok to be flawed" part. Why should characters (both player and NPCs) always conform to a type? Can an NPC be mostly loyal, but have a momentary fling? Can they be a loyal free spirit, but make an error of judgement and, possibly driven by impulse, take a step too far? And does the PC, upon finding out they've been cheated on, have to be a submissive who won't say or do anything that might risk them losing their LI? Or, for that matter, the opposite, like a strict alpha male who will lecture their LI on loyalty, make an ultimatum, take action against their "rival", etc? I simply would like to see characters that develop in unexpected, not stereotypical ways. The MC and their LI dealing with their personal demons and reaching some conclusion that doesn't involve a return to a vanilla relationship, or progression to one subjected to power dynamics stereotypes.

I see and understand your argument about unconventional reaction/actions, but I still think you got the examples (free spirits/sluts) wrong.
