VN Ren'Py Abandoned Offcuts [v0.3.1] [stencilbits]

[hirikumo]

Rip last estimate of October 12-18, Seems like it wont be coming out until the end of this year at this point. Almost the same copy paste monthly since July. Also....



Hell no.

I was just thinking the same thing. I'm fairly noobish when it comes to this stuff, but I find Ren'py so much easier and convenient to use compared to other engines. Changing from it might be what runs me away from this game, not the long wait in between updates.

I have lost my faith that the new update will ever come out. Over a year without updates. The game and art in this game are awesome.. but making one update that long is not too good in my opinion. I understand that Dev wants to do everything right, but there are many Devs who can handle even more demanding games and it takes them several months. (DPC for example)

Could you not compare a dev who does his game as hobby with someone who does it as main job?

Well, round about 17 months isn't normal, that's for sure!

Hmmm, I hadn't looked at the date. Think of it in terms of GRRM...at least we know he's working on this.

 

[Avaron1974]

He's always taken longer than usual, this is normal.

This is not normal.

At most there have been 9 months between updates, the last story update was July 2019, it's been over a year and a half.

From a dev that was aiming for a Christmas 2019 release we're now coming up to Christmas 2020 and still no sign.

I kinda cant believe it..but looking at the gif of the 3d stuff...I kind of like the older 2d images better. Idk if the gif killed the quality more than just the negative aspect he mentioned, but for me the characters just looked way better in the older 2d model...it is kind of what gave the game its charm for me.

Also sucks that the last patreon post doesnt even hint at a possible release timeframe whether its in the next month or at least by the end of the year. Given the amount of dedication to the 3D stuff according to that post , seems like that's where most of the time has been spent this last 16 or so months.

Yeah, I like this game because of the WRITING.

I know as a side project you gotta go with whatever interests you, but the fishbowl/distortion/?? effect from V3 looked bad and I turned it off immediately. The sample animations don't do too much for me, and I really hope that dev time isn't wasted going back and animating past content.

As a player, the whole route dropping at once is great, and is much more pleasant and easy to keep track of than the stringing everyone along thing that a lot of games seem to do. Obviously it makes sense to switch to a more frequently release schedule from the whole "making money" perspective.

Steam version is an immediate purchase for me, even without a James route.

Have to say i am disapointed in the dev over 1 year from last update only reason it dose not have abandoned tag is because he puts 1 screan shot a month on this site i love the game but now i am fed up with delay after delay going to delete game so i can install a game that has and gets updates sorry dev but i can only wait so long for updates

Well better late than never

from the devs last post on Patreon it appears that the next version should be released pretty soon.. no exact date given but I'd say sometime in the next month. Hopefully there won't be any more delays that took as long as this one.

He's been saying it will release soon since December last year.

Until I see an update with my own eyes I believe nothing.

Heard it all before, every month for the last year.

 

[Motoko Kusanagi]

Over 1 year and 3 months. It's become a joke at this point especially knowing that this release is a single path.

True. First time posting here and I don't understand why it didn't get abandonned ?? I stopped counting the number of delays. This is becoming ridiculous.

No abandoned because dev post update progress/previews on Patreon sometimes

True. It might be my first time commenting here, but I watch this thread regularly and read the comments. So, yeah, I know he usually post progress/previews, etc....I'll agree with you on that point. But man, this is just not right. An " On-hold " tag should at least be used, even if it's not the case. So many great games on F95 and so many hateful behaviors from the Devs... :/

1 year and *5 months:



0.31 was just a bugfix version.

Well better late than never

But better never late.

Even worse than I thought.

 

[Avaron1974]

I remember being here last year and saying this update won't be out before Christmas.

I didn't think i'd be here a year later thinking the same thing.

If he releases this on Steam and keeps up this level of updating they are going to rip him a new arsehole. They are rabid there with devs like this.
