To be fair, we can all be prone to depression and losing family members, these are things that happen lol.Is it just me, or are a lot of VN developers unusually prone to depression and/or their family members dying?
The only excuse I can believe without a second thought is "my <PC component> is fried, gotta buy a new one" as it is the cost of doing business (photo-realistic rendering 20+ hours a day is bound to leave a mark).
Is there some correlation or cause in: being an AVN developer = negative mental state?
It's an honest to God question...
Polarity I wouldn't have touched (for free here on this site) even if it was not abandoned. It really looks hideous. If many people saw it like me, I guess he didn't earn much on it to begin with.Was it also because of his recent loss/depression that he abandoned his other game polarity 2 years ago? without stopping the payments?
People dying is normal, as you get older more and more people who are close to you, will unfortunately die. As for the depression/ mental health stuff, it seems like nowadays everyone claims to be depressed so it's hard to know what is real and what is not.Is it just me, or are a lot of VN developers unusually prone to depression and/or their family members dying?

I don't. I have no way of knowing that. How do you know?....nothing 'bad' has happened in his life. We all know that.
Not trying to defend him or anything, but the same way people that are depressed use drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism, I think you could use video games in the same. We don't really have any way to know for sure what is really going on in his life, so we can't say with certainty that nothing bad happened. But I can understand why people don't trust him. The way he handled things doesn't really help his case either.Bottom line here is (and I accept people deal with things differently)....nothing 'bad' has happened in his life. We all know that. When bad shit happens to a dev...do you hear from them? Rarely.
Whatever 'shit' he has been dealing with, it obviously wasn't too bad to spend all day online playing games and bitching on Twitter. Sounds like a real tragedy whatever happened.
One "small" problem.Not trying to defend him or anything, but the same way people that are depressed use drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism, I think you could use video games in the same.

Yeah like I said the way he handle the whole situation doesn't make him look good. Now we just have to wait and see what they do. They will probably release something before the end of the year so they can get rid of the abandoned tag but after that I am not really expecting things to change.One "small" problem.
On the one hand, over-indulging in drugs/booze is obviously self-destructive behaviour. But how is a Dev totally neglecting his game(s) while still receiving full payments from his supporters correspondingly similar ? Seems a lot more like SirD rewarding himself rather than punishing himself.
Well i've been one of his vocal critics but I suppose no one will turn down a free meal.One "small" problem.

Only officially.the game was abandoned ?
Yeah, but at the end of the day there is nothing that we can do. It's not like it's one of those games that doesn't get enough support and the devs don't have the time to work on the game because they have a full time job. People want to support the game and want it to be successful, it's up to the devs to actually work on the game.It's just a shame when Radiant was released it had heat showed promise of being one of the best but was short lived, now we just wonder it update will be done and if it is, will same cycle start over again just sad
