Ren'Py Power Vacuum [Ch. 12 Official] [What? Why? Games]

[indigis]

I highly, highly doubt we're going to get "double" content and it's not exactly like Power Vacuum chapters are stuffed with content to begin with. It's already been six months, seven by a week Thursday, and someone on this page floated December as a release window. A game like Power Vacuum is not a high enough quality to justify two updates a year. Sad to see another decent developer fall to the temptation of updates that release at a snail's pace for a game that never goes anywhere and will never be finished to try and drain the user base dry instead of developing a solid reputation for finishing games and putting out worthwhile content. "Double" content is just a smoke screen for taking advantage of patreon's lack of rules forcing more regular updates.

Bro what? If you actually play the game you can see each chapter's content increasing a bunch. Like there's way more renders and animations in a newer chapter vs the previous and you can count it yourself lol

You don't know what you're talking about. Chapters 10 & 11 each took 8 months to produce, we're 7 months into chapter 12 development and WWG is in the final phase (writing dialogue). We already get enough bitching in this thread, no need to do it preemptively. As mentioned, updates have been getting progressively larger, so even if this one takes an extra month or 2, I don't have a problem.

And eventually you’ll realize there are devs who do more than this, too.

 

[TGafy]

That’s an objective statement. I feel like someone out there outpaces him

Someone, sure. There's bound to be someone out there that does better. But looking at all the different developers as a whole, WWG has consistently proven to deliver. In the avn world where every other game seems to be abandoned or put on a milking spree, WWG has continued to put out releases that continues to have more content than the last one. If there is someone that does more in less time, please share.

I see NTR in the tags but is it mandatory or can I avoid it?

The only Netorare are the Bad Ends which aren't Canon so if you choose to turn off Netorare at the Beginning you won't see any.

(dinosaurs come back in a big way, but you didnt hear that from me. plan accordingly)

Ah thanks, in this case I might give it a try.

 

[SuddenReal]

Is this a sore spot or point of contention here?

Not really, just bad timing. Sure, we get the occasional "oh, he's milking because he hasn't updated in so long", but we had three posts above yours someone practically say WWG doesn't deliver. So, while you might have not intended it this way, it did feel like an attack on the dev.

Ok. I’ve deleted my comments. i will apologize for my original comment, which implied there were developers out there who are faster then him. While meant to be cheeky fun, I see how it could be hurtful. I’m sorry

 

[dorleans]

Btw, do you know how this story ends by any chance considering that youre not restricted by time

If I were a time traveler, that would have gotten me drop everything and immediately start fucking with you.

I'd warm up with spoiling every single future plot development and joke in Power Vacuum, move on to the general worldview shattering, and for my finale see how many paradoxes I could knot into a person's existence by tricking you into just fucking grandmother after grandmother after grandmother.

copyright that. especially the last part. you got an AVN story on your hands.

And after two years of dedicating my life to it I'd discover that I'd somehow rewritten timestamps word for word.

I was thinking about The Artefact. Shows how long I've been on this site.

No worries. I can see what you were going for, but the context was not in your favour.

Dear "people,

What if we don't want your perceptions to change?

Indeed, as a matter of broad consensus the fandom of Power Vacuum would like to present "people" with the following counterproposal -

Fuck off and die.

We feel this course of action would be in both parties' best interests, as "people" would be spared from the slightest chance of inadvertently witnessing another nanosecond of NTR content ever again, and the we would be spared their whining about it. In pursuit of this, we would like to inform anyone who has found this game to be alienating or unwelcoming to their values that we are dedicated to making sure that future content for Power Vacuum is offensive and sickening beyond anything they had previously imagined possible, ideally to such a degree that it inspires them all to die by their own hands.

We hope this has clarified how matters stand between us.

Sincerely,

The United Fandom of Power Vacuum,

Dictated not Read.

Why did you make a reply to a 2 week old comment when people have already moved on from that conversation?

I'm like 40 hours into a bout of insomnia and starting to crack . I remember writing it, kind of, but I have no idea what my motivation was.

Anyway it's deleted now.

All these double content enthusiasts are forgetting that there were what ifs till last update and last and second last update took 8 and 6 months respectively if I am not forgetting so if he gets this update out in December it will be one month later then previously so let's see how much content we get for this much time.
Regardless even if he puts reasonable amount of content, I and I am sure many still prefer shorter updates with shorter update spans.
So it's understandable that some might see it as milking.

I won't speak for others, just personally, I'd still wait until a full chapter was released to play. If it was chapters released in parts, I'd feel lost picking up in the middle of a chapter and have to play it from the chapter start anyway.

I totally agree. Even though we're talking about porn games, I find myself way less invested in a story when it's delivered in a lot of small updates. A lot of people agree, to the point where they'd rather wait for a game to finish development before they even play it, which makes frequent updates irrelevant.

Power Vacuum on the other hand has a satisfying amount of plot development each chapter, every (important) character gets featured, and their story threads are often interwoven. Chopping all that up to deliver more frequent updates would undermine one of PV's main selling points, which is the writing.
