which as we know becomes cyclical, because then not enough time or resources invested means less subs, it's the feedback loop of a dying business, and no one breaks it by magically having 200 customers walk into their store, rather they gotta have some 'over the hill' push.
- Thread starter VIGOR GAMES
- Start date
How many parts were available on day 3 ?
You think this game is abandoned ?
I don't think the tag is scaring people away. It's more of the fact that the Devs don't communicate for a long while in between updates like 1-3 months (note last time they ever said anything was in April) and Discord is dead and overrun with spams
The dev was quite active at the start but got bombarded by people complaining about the NTR part. I think that contributed to why the dev got demotivated. So yeah may be not "scared" but seemed to have been a sticking point.
I don't believe that the developer got demotivated, because of NTR (or whatever it is called now) - there are plenty of games with NTR tag and nobody cares.
Here is one of the laws in this life (that I've learned personally): if you want money - you need to work.
My advice to VIGOR GAMES (unless it is really a health issue) - continue working on this game or do something else with your programming skills (like a real IT job).
People are not going to pay just for promises (and a few screenshots) because "talk is cheap".
You have a good game here (many people like it) and if you cannot (or don't want) continue working on it (which I personally think could be a gold mine) - just do something else in this life (in other words, game development is probably not your thing).
Peace.

Is Bella and Valerie the only LI? I'm good with netori but doing it on a close friend is a no. If none is the story focus purely stealing either Bella or Valerie or both?
the 3 last review seems odd ,5stars and 8 to 10 mins from each one....take it what you want but seems that is prety much that someone is trying to rnk up this game
lol yeah last 4 actually - seems super random. although i like this game too but it's odd it suddenly got some traction (reviews wise).
anyway this needs an abandoned tag too, been months since last update and nothing from dev

It's even worst: they also liked the same three posts of VIGOR just after posting the rating. This is more than suspicious...
Today I decided to check this thread again and say a few last words about current game developement that I see way too often.
I think, people now have very unrealistic expectations - like after a few releases it will be more than a thousand supporters (or something like that) and forget that the fans want to see some results first.
Here is a good example - https://f95zone.to/threads/academy-live-v0-07-3-alpha-passhonq.169917/, which started about 15 months ago (with 2-3 months update cycle)
This is from my memory and the numbers are from Patreon site only:
After two releases - about 20 patrons,
After the third release - about 40 patrons
Next release - about 80 patrons
And I checked a few weeks ago - 334 patrons.
The secret is simple - the developer needs to work to deliver some results (plus periodically check the game thread and reply to people), so the fans see that you are going to stay and finish the game. The old times (with the numbers like BADIK) are long gone now.
So VIGOR GAMES if you still check this thread - I hope you will see this post and decide if you want to continue working on the game developement or move to something more appropriate (or lucrative) for you.
Unless you already have another game with a different developer name.
And Happy New Year to all!
