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

[sorco2003]

Words have to be changed, not renders. As to teasers today, no one knows, but probably not. He didn't post anything on the 21st.

edit: I take that back, i could be wrong. With how strict patreon is, he might have to change some renders. Like the one where he does anal with Brenna for the first time. She tears up as she tells him to stop. word change might not be enough for that scene.

The same could apply to the scene in the bathroom with brena or cuninlingus to Ophelia... At this point it is so difficult to speculate on what they are going to approve and what they are going to change completely...

It also comes to mind when they discover the drugs in Hunter's room....
I just hope this isn't a lethal blow to the game and WWG's energies.

Patches can fix wording and tears can be played off as happy tears in the unpatched version. So probably not a lethal blow. It could be a hit to WWGs morale though. Especially if he has to re-render. Before he just had to watch out for keywords, now he has to also write around scenarios. Like he could want to portray something dark, but how will he do it in the unpatched version that still makes sense.

I think If They Should close it and open another one. and redirect everybody to the new location. I Think it will save them Time.
And evade the double work with patching and all that. But that is if the other site give them the permit to load up what they already made.

 

[Stil996]

Tears don't mean rape, having a cock like hunters rammed up your ass would bring tears to a porn stars eyes, particularly if he forgot the lube.
Though saying that the way Patreon are, fuck knows goes through their heads.

 

[dartred]

Yeah i know, but Patreon will be dicks and probably find something to nit pick about.

Though maybe all WWG has to turn in is the new script and that means renders are fine. That would be a better case scenario.

 

[mrwebmaster]

hi guys , there is any update or game abandoned ?

"I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."
- United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart in Jacobellis v. Ohio (1964)

Nudity is art, pornography is not. And that's what we're talking about.

Is that what we're talking about? While the difference between art and porn is often in the eye of the beholder (e.g. Potter Stewart), I think it's a moot argument anyway. Porn is legal in many places, including on Patreon. Censoring all fictional depictions of sexual violence is not a legal imperative and it doesn't protect anyone. It's just the work of moral busybodies foisting there values onto others; values often based on psychological projection of hypocritical shame.

But I can still buy a Bible with a credit card or PayPal, right? Plenty of raping going on in that book.

EDIT: In Chapter 8 after Catherine's party, Lindsay Lohan specifically mentions Catherine's "brother Sterling". Will this need to be edited to appease the censorship gods?

Holy shit, you're right!

By the way, any word on the state of the edit? Dev's deadline was supposed to be today and his patreon page appears to still be up and running.

We got a status update and teasers, i'd like to share the status update (I don't leak teasers).

You must be registered to see the links

As of now, Patreon has my revised build of Power Vacuum and will get back to me when they're finished reviewing it.
Now, what that means for the update. The revision took a fair amount of time to complete(I honestly can't believe how much dialogue is in this game), so I still have work to finish for Chapter 10. As for a release date, if I don't get a response by June 11th, I'll figure out a way to get the update into your hands.
Some good news is that I was wrong on my initial calculation on the amount of animations. Chapter 10 easily surpassed the total animation count of Chapters 1-8. Well over 200 animations. Enjoy the teasers and I'll update the page if there is any news.


I had to ask WWG if he meant the game has 200 total and he said no, the game has a total of 340 right now, CH 10 has 220ish. 220 animations for CH 10 alone. that's insane! No one can complain about the development time!

Oh they'll find a way.

It won't make sense, but they'll find a way.

Please no if the game runs the risk of a violation over a scene like that it means 50-65% of all games using Patreon are at risk for a violation.

Also how the literal hell is anyone who voted for the What-ifs that are focused on NTR still supporting Patreon.

A woman says no during sex and now it's a service violation congrats Patreon just started the MeToo movement for Porn games.

 

[dartred]

Well you have to remember, the $20 support tier has always been a thing. The what ifs were added (relatively) recently and are given to us as a bonus.

Also you can still make requests, but he will probably change how it's worded for the Patreon release and "someone" will make a patch for it.

Yeah they were a thing BEFORE Patreon started acting like they are. Where yeah you won't get everything you want but at least you could still get some things anymore though you can't really get anything you want. It's like going to an ice cream parlor that slowly gets rid of some of the flavors and toppings till all you're left with is just Vanilla and you can't even get any SPRINKLES. Nope just plain vanilla in a cone.

 

[dartred]

The game will never be plain vanilla, so long as patching is a thing. Otherwise you imply that Incest is gone for good and you know it will never be, because again, patches exist.

Wording is key. So long as you can request it in a way that's not too obvious, i'm sure WWG can make it in a way that appeals to Patreons standards and a patch can make it the way the requester intended.

 

[strenif]

Sooo I know this doesn't solve the problem but any chance the dev will open up a subscribestar page?

If he's going to do it now would be a great time as he might get more conversions now while this is fresh in everyones minds.

 

[QuantumVNs]

WWG should release a "What If people took Patreon guidelines seriously" where there's black censor bars in every risque scene and half the dialogue is redacted.

I know you always have the inside scoop. Why doesn’t WWG just make his Patreon release content very generic, ie picture and wallpaper releases, things like that. And then just drop the game to the paid discord? Wouldn’t that pretty much eliminate all of the Patreon rules nonsense? Or is there something I’m not aware of?

Patreon doesn't limit their searching to just the patreon page. Many a creator has been slapped for content on their own website/twitter account/discord. Basically if you link to it on patreon they count it as part of you patreon page.

Really? And people STILL use Patreon? You know what forget it it's almost to the point Patreon could hire people to kick the crap out of content creators and they would STILL use Patreon. Seriously how many more boundaries does Patreon have to cross before people say enough is enough.
