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

[Luncor]

I remembered this game again when I saw it on Steam sales. Frankly, this game was one of the best games I've tried, but I'm sorry to say that the developer seems to have lost his passion. It was a pity that, while he had such a magnificent work in hand, he left it unfinished and started another project that reminded me of old HTML games with AI-generated images.

He says that he continues to develop this game in some way, but as a writer myself, I must say that if you take a break from a story you start and take on other work in between, you lose your focus and over time that story starts to tire you.

I hope he gets back to what he does well.

The music is good, and I am so glad to hear people making positive comments about the game. Just wanted to jump in to emphasize that this game also has the best kink skill tree of any game I have seen. It is such a good way for letting you control the kind of content you want to see and feel like you are progressing to more and more kink as well as letting the player actually know what impacts their decisions will have. I kind of wish other games would take some notes here. The writing is also much more sex positive and realistic than pretty much all of the games I have seen. I know people have praised the system in the past and it is not a new comment - but worth reminding people and letting new players hear about it - if for no other reason than to balance out all of the annoying "why isn't this done yet" posts that clutter up the forum without adding any value.

yes

I wasn't aware of that. That's probably why last update felt so short and uninspired to me. Thank you for bringing this up.

Totally! The kink tree and pointt system is awesome.
this game is a gem imo anyway. Hence being super impatient about it !

Last DEV posting on Patreon ... I also think the game is SUPER and hope he doesn't give up on it.


Progress report: I'm going to pause patreon billing until chapter 8 is released

31. Okt. 2024
Hi everyone,
Just like last year, I'll pause Patreon billing for the month of November. Contrary to last year though, I'm not going to pause it just for one month. Instead, I'll keep it paused until chapter 8 of Nothing isForever is released.
(Apparently, t

You must be registered to see the links

Just Patreon things. I hope everything works as planned and I don't bill anyone without meaning to. Before turning the billing back on again, I'll make a post a week before or so, so nobody will be charged by surprise.)

It's been a while since the last update and I don't want to keep charging people excessively for each update. Furthermore, I have to admit progress has been quite slower than I'd have liked in the last couple of months and nobody should subsidize me slacking off. This is more fair for everyone.
So, when will the update be ready? I'm not sure. But I think it's better to set a goal for the release. Let's aim for second half of January. I'll keep posting in the meantime.
Thank you for your support, and I'm sorry if you're disappointed with these news. I know you all would much prefer that the update was already finished.
Happy Halloween!

It's a little sad that the developer missed the opportunity to make really good money on this game simply because of a lack of communication. If he had been making one or two posts per month on Patreon with a short status update and maybe two or three bonus renders, he would have gained so many more patrons.

The game is amazing—one of the best on this site. However, the lack of regular communication is kryptonite for supporters. Who is going to keep spending money on a game that may or may not have been abandoned, especially when there’s no way of knowing because the developer only gives updates every three to six months?

There are still some updates left, so I hope the developer will look at some of the successful creators and follow their approach to posting on Patreon. He deserves financial success, but right now, he is his own greatest enemy.

It's a shame that the game is postponed. I'm not sure why the dev posted on the working charts and timelines here and for what purpose.

We don't really care about that and not many people understand those things.

What we want is a commitment and delivery based on that commitment. That's it. No need long explanation, etc. What's the point of explaining all the reasons behind while you can't deliver...

The game is such a great game...

some dudes just need a boss breathing down their neck to be functional.

 

[Krytax123]

if the dev still released half a chapter after all this time that'd be beyond disappointing

Yet not surprising.

I felt the same as you a year ago or something like that, but at this point i consider the skilltree disappointing.

Considering there are only like three chapters left, there wont be this much time to explore the heights of the skilltree anyway, its like 1-2 scenes max per kink/skill which is kinda lame imo and if we dont use it THAT much anyway, we could have just skipped the whole thing and give the player the options he wants to chose.

Its a creative rpg element but the game aims to be more like a streamlined brawler or something like that

The skilll tree is just cosmetic, you can have the same game without it, you only really need to check decisions made

That was my point

That was my point

Can't say I'm disappointed, I didn't expect more than that

Some decisions require specific forks though IIRC. Like to get into a relationship with Jen, you either need the silver tongue or the other thing. A few others have conditions like this to begin their path.

I wouldn't say it's entirely cosmetic , I recall there was once or twice I couldn't go down a certain path because of it so i ended up cheating my skill points so I could.

its seems like the writing and story are good, but the renders and art look super dated....

The stark and simple style was half an intentional artistic choice and half because the dev started with a Laptop 1650 GPU so could not use any better textures. It does get somewhat better in later chapters as he improved with Daz skills. There are also a number of fairly good animations too.

As far as I understand, the game was never intended to compete on the visuals, although I think you will grow to like them over time. But when it comes to the story and writing, there are very few games that are on the same level as this one.

Has anyone got a twenty on the dev?

What? I'm not going to be rolling to hit MrSL! He's our ally, not our foe.
