Ren'Py Onhold Private Dick [v0.1.3] [Cisco Donovan]

Anyone have the first demo available for download? I'm interested in playing them in order.

Hi - it's still available

You must be registered to see the links

for download. I'll add a link to the top thread.

The new demo is written to be standalone and there's a big quality gap between it and the latest stuff. So do bear that in mind! The story is all canon though.

Absolutely love this gem of a game. Voice acting is hilarious and hot!!! Is the voice acting just in the demo or is it planned to have it throughout the official versions of the game?

Thank you! Thread reviews are very welcome

I plan to fully voice the whole game.

The zip should contain a folder called pd-redtie-0.1.3-market. This is the convention used by Ren'py (the game engine) when exporting a game.

I think it's a good name - it's got the version number in, so you easily install several versions at once and be clear which version you're playing. Which is typical for work-in-progress like this.

What folder name would you prefer to see?

* Basically this is a game about sex, not relationships.

Wow. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen a developer clarify something like this. It's not a game for me, but I really appreciate that clarification. I wish more developers would do that. Kudos for having that consideration.

Latest news from dev's patreon:


Taking a break.
Yep, I'm facing facts.
I'm taking a break. Stepping back a little.
I know that's ridiculous to say when the last 3 months have been almost completely inactive. But in my head, tomorrow is always a Private Dick day. I'm honestly going to start again (again) any moment now. One more push and I'll have a release ready.
I'm kidding myself at this point. And I'm hurting myself too.
The project is still close to my heart. I'm still jotting down notes and thinking about characters and stories. I'm still getting random boners thinking about Baku Satu's sexy voice overs (unreleased).
And I'm still riddled with anxiety as the end of the month approaches, wondering what I'm going to do about a backer update. Because it's shitty to release an empty post, but it's even shittier to post nothing at all.
I kinda fucked up you know. After putting the Red Tie demo out, I should have got my head down and rushed the first release out. With a few sales coming in I would have been able to justify more dev time and the game would be basically done by now.
But things changed. Priorities shifted. I'm still struggling with some real life shit. I just don't have space right now.
This is not a permanent change. I am not quitting.
But in October and November, I do not plan to touch the game. I'm not sure about December,
I need to find a clear week or two to reset on the game (again!) and rebuild my context. So much has drifted lately I hardly even know where to start.
So. No updates from me for a while. I will post before the end of the year.
I need to update Steam, I'm way behind on that, I know. I feel shitty about it. The admin and emotional overheads of Steam updates are way worse. I'll get to it.
Thanks for patience folks. I know I'm letting you down. I really hope I can make it right.

So I'd say this project is at least on hold if not abandoned for good.

I'm sad, I think Cisco is a talented fella.

So I'd say this project is at least on hold if not abandoned for good.

Cisco, the dev, said they'll post something by the end of the year regardless of whether any development time was put in for December. That Pateon post you've referred to is from September stating that they're taking a break for October and November is all. It even mentions they're not quitting. Sometimes people just need to step back and reevaluate things so they can proceed better. This passion project is on hold, certainly, but here's hoping that it's not abandoned either.

Oh, and for the mods:

• It's fair to say that the project is "on hold" per their post found here:
