VN Ren'Py Abandoned Our Fate - A new family [v0.15 SE] [CedSense]

Ohh Emma gee is this game really abandoned? I have a pretty silly anxiety about ever saying anything on forums because of the pure talents that go forth to games like this one as I'm so so big a dreamer of doing it myself but back to the point OMGOIOOOOOOOOD I loved this game. Very good ! In all ways I'm left jonesing !!!!

Ongoing health issues as it seems. Maybe some complicated surgery or long term treatment or extreme burnout but we'll never know for sure until Cedsence decides to come back and write a public post about it.

To illustrate a bit how difficult it really is to pinpoint motivations behind these kinds of sudden absences I remember the dev from a game called Harem went MIA one day and came back just about a year and a half later and as It turned out we ended up discovering (to the surprise of absolutely everyone) that he had left because of the Castro Brothers' case, because it "hit too close to home" with his game's theme and lore and his guilt somewhat prevented him from continuing his work.

So let it be a cautionary tale that despite sounding like a seemingly stupid excuse to us you never really know whats happening inside someone mind and what the person is feeling and all that jazz.


...still wondering if some kind of work was done last May though.

What is the Castro brother case

What is the Castro brother case

You must be registered to see the links

For some reason I held it in my my memory that there were multiple kidnappers and they were all related but now that I've searched it it ended up turning out it was only this one guy, so, the "Castro... guy" case I guess. Weird Mandela effect.

Anyway, some dude kidnapped a bunch of girls and kept them captive as sex slaves somewhere inside his house. Ker (the game's dev) took it personally because his game's MC also goes around back and forth enslaving people (thus building the proverbial *harem*) and then the dev went on a spiritual hiatus for a long time.

Ahhh. Are you suggesting the game predated the crime of Castro? This is a slippery slope because I like Call of Duty, but I don't even own a gun so it'd be hard for me to go on a "rampage" like I do in video games. Also, I used to be pretty good at warcraft III, but I don't own an axe or sword and there aren't any orcs, night elves, or undead to slay...even if there were I don't think I'd slay them.

All creations are only what they are. You and I can read the Bible and come away with completely different perceptions and those can influence behaviors, but the Bible itself does not have any real power over our actions...only what we assign to it.

We are all influenced by our environments, but this Castro guy was criminal in his own actions because he didn't respect girls as human beings and instead viewed them as his sex toys. That is unacceptable and dangerous behavior and I've played games with similar scripts, but those are weird fantasies along the lines of incest where I would never act on them in reality...just weird fantasies...like most of sex fantasies (in my opinion)

Not to sound too snob and philosophic in a porn media forum but I sincerely believe we are all born, we live and ultimately die completely alone. No two people perceive the world in the same way, no two people ever "connect" or "soul bond" or none of that nonsense, and your first person view of the world is forever locked away from anybody else.

I mention this because the second best thing we can hope to accomplish is to try to imagine how the other person is feeling at some given moment by a somewhat flawed exercise of empathy, in this case, by trying to imagine what could've happened to this guy that made him despair in such a way he essentially BSOD'd on his own game

Sure, I know that kids dying from famine in Somalia is a very shitty thing, but I don't really *feel* bad about it while I live my mundane suburban daily life, but that could've been entirely different If I was forced to experience the horror right in front of me or someone dear to me died from malnutrition or even worse, If I experienced extreme hunger myself.

Going back to Cedsense then, whatever happened to the dude probably happens to be more complex than what we were led to believe but we just don't know for certain either way and we couldn't know, not yet.

You can feel completely alone and still respect another person's ability to feel completely alone simultaneously. Sex slavery, labor slavery, or taking advantage of a child is not providing them with the same luxuries you (or me or anyone) have. It is unacceptable and rightly criminal.

Of course our lives are completely individual. We are born from a blank slate and return to that at death. Nobody knows the purpose of it all, but it seems to me that all people enjoy laughing and trying to improve the world for everyone. So in between birth and death life should be lived to have fun, laugh, do what you like, and when you can help out a little. Friendships and romantic relationships can also be a lot of fun too and while our lived experiences are completely unique we can also enjoy our shared experiences with others.

There is a patch and it will show in a few seconds. You have to choose were you want to save it

 

[EvilChef]

I really miss this game.

 

[hideouz]

wish you all the best and still hope, that you will come back, to finish this masterpiece :]

Just to came here to say damn this game is good.

If dev is still lurking here I want to ask this: why not to put this on steam? Do they have policy against adult material? I am sure this would sell well.

While the ban of adult material on Steam has been lifted we don't know the dev's health situation, and even if he'd be up to it, games there are typically published completed or in seasons. I don't know if Early Access is the way to go here considering - once again - the health situation.

lol saw movement in the thread and got my hopes up. Such a gem of vns

 

[Haspes]

I realize that the game has been abandoned and not worked on in the last year and change.... But I just got to say, this was one of the worst games I've tried out.

Reasons for my feeling this way are listed.
1:About half the choices I made were the opposite of what I wanted to happen. (No stupid whore I do not want to have sex with you..... Then I end up fucking her...... No girl who I saved I do not think you should go all lesbian because I want you..... So the whore goes all lesbian.) Seriously, wtf.....
2: Daz is a pita to work in, but the poses, expressions, and clothing could have had a lot more work put into them.
3: Seriously did not enjoy the characters, the Dev throws every single woman in the game at the MC except the ONLY ONE that I wanted to do anything with..... Kinda glad it got abandoned.

 

[Maladika]

it's strange how the opinions are divided... i was going to say it's for me one of the best games around.
The story is nice up to now, the graphics are really great and especially for the main girl who is particulary hot to my opinion
It's a pity if it's really abandonned (i still get hope it's not), it's one of the 4 or 5 games i would really like to see the end of it.

Please come back buddy, we want your brilliant mind on it again!
Yes I still do keep an eye out on your game, its a gem.
I do wonder what happen, did you lost hope, or did to many paths?
Cant you find the strength to go on? Litterly, you must be really bored right?
Before you had something to all ways do, now, you have this thing.. on the computer.. waiting, your followers, your story.
I really dont care what others think in here, so damn many bad stories in here, and yours was rolling in to be my entertainment for every update there was.

Please be well, and safe in these trouble times.
And I do hope you come back really soon.
Kind regards



Thank you so much for your likes, its nice to see im not alone

The developer has serious health problems, as he warned about.
