Ren'Py Abandoned Private Community [v0.1.9c] [Boomatica]

[Grimtown]

Just found this game and read the reason why it is on hold.
Boomatica, all the best and much strength to you and your loved ones! I went through a similar experience 20 years ago. Thank you for taking care of your family member in this situation.

ALWAYS, family first....my best wishes Boom. TC.

I hope Boom comes back soon to do this game. I like this game so much and it's got great content. But we'll see what happens.

Why you would spend so much time on a game that is well received just to abandon it? Makes no sense. Yes I know about the whole having to care for a family member and that was completely understandable. But he has been back for like a year doing other projects. Seems kind of like a patreon milker regardless it's unfortunate to see this game that was starting to get into the good stuff get forgotten.

J..D writes "Sweet Affection" and does the art for it.

Thinking about deleting this game and making room for other games since it looks like it won't be updated for a long time and I might as well use the space for something that is being updated.

 

[boulimanus]

I didn't realise they were active again but on other projects, I though they still had to care for family.
If that's the case this one looks like Abandoned rather than OnHold.
A shame indeed.

Boom still takes care of his family member... Like I said before:

J..D is in charge of Sweet Affection - the only other project of BA-Games.
There's no multiple projects ongoing.

Private Community - onhold due to circumstances
Sweet Affection (former known as RIA) - in development

Ah that makes sense. No change to the situation then, hope they're coping.

Yeah, some people just like to stomp their feet and pout about stuff not going the way they want it to. "I don't care if you have real life going on! I'm pretty sure you're just dishonest, blah, blah, blah". I just let them whine and move on.

I think the current change of name situation throws some people off.
And to be honest, I was expecting something like that.

Not everyone reads every single post, which is totally fine with me - so I just make sure everybody is on the same page.
Just to avoid any spread of misinformation.

 

[boulimanus]

CookieMonster, I'm going to assume you meant that for me too but you'd be making the wrong assumption.
I did read post #1569 but didn't recognise anything in it so I didn't pay attention. BloodyFace reacted calmly with #1572 and in there as Boom was mentioned, I was able to get the picture.

If you expect I should have known from the first post, you'd be way overestimating my interest in porn games.
That probably applies to a few others too.

Thanks for your patience BloodyFace.

Nope, I didn't have you in mind. I wouldn't consider anything in your post "whining". No worries.

Very Important! : Please read!
Hi all!
This post has been made public as it will affect current and any new supporters we gain in the coming months.
Please note that what you're about to read will only be affecting our project :
(Private-Community), so please keep that in mind while reading.
The next section of this post is personal and written by me "Boom", not on behalf of our team.

Last week a Family member of mine was taken into hospital after suffering from a stoke, this family member is very old and has been suffering from them for some time now.

This last stroke has left her with permanent damage causing her to loose around 80% of their mobility functions and very limited brain/memory functionality...

Every 2-6 hours she freaks out, not understanding where/who anyone around her is... she needs constant care and supervision...

They do not believe she will make it past the next 6 months due to her age and the possible chance of another stoke...

I live in a somewhat remote location with only one retirement home nearby, this is where she had been living for the past couple of years, however due to the events that happened last week they can no longer care for her due to being ill-equipped medically for her current condition.

She has no other relatives and I personally can't bring myself to put her in a home hundreds of miles away to... to die alone...

After spending a great deal of time thinking it over and talking with her doctors I've decided to have her move in with me, I'll become her full-time carer until... well, until she no longer needs me.

Due to this, I have no idea how much time I'm going to have to myself each day, let alone time for anyone or anything else.

So for the time being, until I know more or until she...

I've decided to put (Private Community) on hold.
The last thing I want to do is promise updates when I have no idea when/if I'm going to have any time to work on them, if I do have time then yes, I will be working on the game, but as of right now, I have no idea if I'll have any.

So for those of you that are supporting us primarily for this project, you may want to change / remove your pledges until I am able/free to work on this project again.

I'm sorry, but at this time, I have to put my family first...

I hope you can all understand my reason for doing this.
If anything happens or circumstances change,
I'll be sure to let you know.

Thank you for reading.

Research Into Affection :

The development on this project will continue as normal with only some minor changes.

Those changes being :

1. Due to the "circumstances" above, JD is now free to work on this project with-out any outside distractions. "IE: Private Community"
Meaning all of the updates for this project should be fairly big.

2. The updates for this project will now come out at the end of each and every month.

3. Dev-Builds will now be released to all supporters after a given amount of time as the chances of corrupted saves / bugs should now be minimal due to time allocated for testing.
" Just please keep in mind, these are Dev-builds, not public builds,
" Back up your saves, just in case.

4. How releases will work :
- (Tier - 3) : Will have instant access to builds as soon as they're released.
- (Tier - 2) : 1 week after the initial release.
- (Tier - 1) : 2 weeks after the initial release.

" The Tiers will be updated once this post goes live! "

5. Progress on the latest builds :
We regularly update "

Nice game. The only thing that makes zero sense is when the other girls comment on how hot the MC is. The MC is pretty ugly.

I know this one is on hold but I'm still deleting the files as who knows when the other game will ever be done and I might as well use this space for something that is active.

Understand - I recognize and admit that the following is ONLY my opinion, and that I could very well be wrong completely.

Sorry, but I have to call a lie on this about JD being in charge, since Boom has said on HIS patreon page that JD has been ill, but getting better while he has been working on Sweet Affection, what with it now being version 0.7.0 and having the name, menu, and start screen changed to reflect the "name change" (not to mention the additional content, art work or renders etc... put into the update). While I agree that Family is important, the fact that Boom has devoted his time to "Sweet Affection" and has - to all appearances - abandoned this game (with not one word recently on HIS patreon page) tells me that 1) this game HAS been abandoned, 2) he could give a rats ass about his supporters - or potential supporters - for THIS game, 3) his word is suspect and potentially worthless, and 4) any game he is either producing - or involved with - is probably not worth the time to download and/or try or support.

Having gone through his patreon page, the last comment he made regarding this game was in February of 2020, and mentioned it was on hold due to family emergency. I will never say he lied about that, since that is not something (at least I hope) someone would want to risk lying about, but damn, it has been over a year since the game was put on hold, no comments (as far as I can find) have been made here - or on patreon - by him regarding this game since February of 2020. Apparently he has enough time out of his busy schedule of taking care of his family member to work on Sweet Affection (AKA RIA), yet cannot be bothered to work on THIS game which has patreons and a following of potential patreon supporters.

Sorry, but from my own personal point of view and experience - as a supporter (originally) of this game and as an experienced reviewer and critic of Porn games from Illusion and JAST, as well as a number of original Japanese Eroge and Hentai games - his word and actions at least seem to show me he is dishonest and cannot finish his games, instead working on other people's games and fucking over patreons and potential patreon supporters. Again, this is my OWN PERSONAL POINT OF VIEW AND OPINION,

THIS game had, and really still has, a great deal of potential, but due to the lack of work, updates, or actual comments from Boom, not only would I NOT recommend this game, but I would seriously recommend no one bother with ANY of Boomatica's games - simply based on this game alone.
