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

[MagicMan753]

It is not a quite as random a comparison as you seem to think. Iondivvy updated his first game also very regularly until the day he announced his second game. He told us that this second game would not impact development of his first game at all or just minimally. Hell yeah, what a complete liar and a... he turned out to be!
The next update after he started developing game two was feelable late and small, but he promised another update quicker and with more content. That was nearly a year ago and we still wait for that "fast" and substantial update. His excuses for the continuing delays (he announced another delay just a few weeks ago) are a joke and clearly fabricated to sooth the fans of his first game.
But "surprise", his second game is updated very regularly.

As said, he once was also a developer we thought can be trusted. So pardon me that I get suspicious when a teamless developer announces/starts work on a second game now.

I think another thing that worries me too is not just the focus, but the content, the last chapter felt like a letdown to me, my fav path Emma's sub path felt bad compared to her dom. Other routes feel a little weird. This game dropped from a top 5 or 10 for to middle of my avn rankings. So I am worried about not only SilverLust's focus on the game, but also the story and where it is heading.

I think that it makes more sense to look at MrSL's track record than to compare him to some random other developer.

He has delivered 7 updates after the initial chapter 1 over the past 3 years. The time between updates has consistently been 5-7 months. Each update has been of a significant size - 10000s of words, 100s of images, multiple choices and complex paths that stem from your previous choices. The game itself has had improving quality, additional functionality and the addition of animations even back to previous chapters.

Out of all the developers of indie adult games, MrSL has proven himself to be one of the best. The game content might not be for everyone, but those of us who like this sort of intelligent and sexy gameplay REALLY love it.

I agree MrSL's "Nothing is forever" is great. Unfortunately his new game is not my cup of tea. But I understand the need to try something different. I just wish he focused on finishing this game.

It's been a while, what's the new update on this game. I left and I still recall Olivia only scene was swimming with her. Is it still it?

 

[SpeedZoner]

I miss Kim so much, looking forward for the next update

Do note we're over that now..... I very much want to see more of NIF, and I'd be a sub already if the updates were more reliable.

7.1 was back in february - so 8 months ago. One could say 7.2/.3 were subsequent releases in the interim, but if we're being honest the sum of these was more comparable in length to a traditional update. At least of his publically available patreon posts; it seems pretty quiet since the start of summer which is a little disconcerting comparing that span to prior history.

Quickly became one of my favorite games here, I know it's gonna have a bad ending since it isnt a harem game, but it has to be one of the most well made stories in the site! Loved the growth of the MC and all the challenges he goes through, and I love all the girls!

Nah team Emma or Jen gonna have a wonderful ending kind of sad it's nearly over even tho the updates do take sometime to come out. As I didn't start to really get into Jen or Emma's character until around ch 5 or 6. Only character I despise is Kim.

Depends, you have to play as a eunuch to have a good ending with Emma. She clearly won't enjoy the fact you've fucked a bunch of other girls behind her back, so you basically have to dodge other girls (which is kinda meh in a porn game).

Jen won't give a fuck, as long as the MC is pleased and satisfied she'll be happy

I really enjoy Lea as well, and since she is also easily """groomed""" and manipulated by the MC, she'd also probably become submissive and accepting of a throuple with Jen.

I guess it depends on how you play AVN's. I dont like harem play style so on non harem games I always stay faithful to the girl for whatever save that is. Even when they aren't in a relationship and they dont mind if I sleep around beforehand I keep my saves pure and faithful for them.

One of my favorite characters in another game. I wait 7 long chapters just to have sex with her even tho I can play her friends with benfits path and have sex alot sooner and transition into a relationship around the same time. I just didn't like playing her FWB path. So it very much depends on how one likes to play.

For me I dont see anything wrong in that and for me personally I dont see every AVN as a porn game even if there is alot of lewd scenes. It very much depends on the feel of the game for me. I don't even really consider this a porn game either even tho there is alot of fetishes and lewd scenes to be seen. As to me it feels like it focus more on the relationships than the porn. So I see this game more something in the middle between porn game and not.

Yeah Lea was great I liked her character kind of from the start and loved the whole sharing herself online thing but Emma and Jen are just something else for me when it comes to their characters.

I don't know about the dominant path for this, but unless I am missing something on the submissive paths there is absolutely to promise of exclusivity and no indication that anyone expects exclusivity except with Lea if you explicitly promise to be exclusive.

It is not a harem in that all of the LIs are not explicitly exclusively with MC while MC is with all LIs - but you can very much sleep around with everyone without cheating

is this onhold?

is this onhold?

Nope,

Dev just really doesn't like to communicate that often. He has done this since episode 1. So I am really not worried about this. Chapters get bigger so it takes longer to devellop. We will see it once its done. Dev usually post if he thinks he is getting closer to release. Don't expect anything soon though.

Given how he reacts to criticism it's best he stays away anyways, you need a thick hide and a cool head to deal with the shit people like to sling around here. Gotta get a community manager.

 

[Ninjaman2]

Man am I looking forward to another update!!

 

[pantypriv]

Don't be so skeptical, skep-tiker, the dev probably doesn't hang out here too much!

 

[PickerLewd]

Development is delayed because the game has reached a point where there are multiple branches, paths and relationships.

Also, this developer now has another game and is developing both at the same time.

 

[tremere87]

He never communicated that much. Usually just before and just after release. The radio silence has been pretty much from the beginning.

 

[Bloodguard]

Only been, what, 5 months since last update?
That doesn't seem terribly long to me.

 

[fengshui]

no shade to everything else but the chess stuff is legit the best part of this game lol

 

[Kolarded]

Chess was hot!
