There is a problem with the day after party... Sascha's picture appears and disappears in every conversation.

Usually with porn games you can sorta tell what type of game you get, but with this one ... like, clearly, from a porn-stand point, you're bodyguard to a rich, sexy lady (who according to some characters needs "a man of the house", which, again, I can't tell whether this is supposed to some joke or for real ...) so indubitably you'd think you hook up with her (and possibly her sister, daughter, all of her friends, and, who knows, maybe her nerdy kid boy ... hey; what's not been done yet? ^^; ). But then this game seem at times more grounded and more serious than just insane porn logic, with a real relationship, and with some real traumatic character backgrounds, so ... maybe actually not?
Point is, I can't really tell what it's trying to do, and how much that's kinda randomly thrown in is supposed to be grounded in reality (so Bezos is negotiating something, Harris is President and Putin got putsched?) and what's just supposed to be cheesy gamer humor (unlike the previous game where clearly everything was just nonsense).
Scenes like the "I'm hired as a bodyguard but apparently have no clue what to do when the alarm system goes of" or the extreme choices of "I'll explicitly go against the helicopter mom who happens to be my prospective employer by ignoring what her daughter gets up to" and "I'll be a complete asshole to the girl and her boyfriend and pretend that's some dad-like/big-brother behavior which she presumably will later be revealed to secretly crave in accordance to story-logic" don't exactly help either. Or the whole "she's an Ambassador but FSB but her husband is an abusive fuck but she's going on about some marriage loyalty as if it were the 20th century but she's also fine with acting as naked bait but also ..."
In short, I don't really get what the game tries to do. I think that needs sorting out, but otherwise, yeah, sure, why not.

At least some parts of the game are humorous, that's for sure.

Will this game be closed down too or will you continue this when your health is better or will you start on a totally new project and abandoned this one?
Best of luck either way

Looks like he wants to make his games free, so I guess he doesn't want the pressure of getting paid without being able to give anything in return for now due to his health issues.
Huh. I wonder if just a bunch of people jumped ship when he started making Redwood, like I did. It's not, like, a bad game, but I didn't support Edensin because I wanted yet another person to make a landlady-focused ren'py game. I wanted more stuff like Candyman. Hopefully getting out of the Patreon ecosystem will get his shit back on its janky, kinda abusive, exploitation-movie-esque, ultimately fun and unique track.
this game i felt like had a fairly unique story i dont know about candyman though looks a bit too sandbox heavy for me but i really like this game and hope to see it continue

2 abandoned games and 1 barely surviving on life support.
Shame the dev has such good ideas for games because he sucks arse at being a dev.

Right? And it's a recurring problem with some of these devs. I have a f**k lot of awesome ideas for strickly story driven visual novels and I have all the necessary assets and more, as well as a beast of a PC to handle it, but at no point in time will I even attempt to start any of those novels cause I know I won't finish it. I don't have the time or dedication to do so, so I won't waste my or anyone else's time and money by starting something that I know won't go anywhere. I know some of these devs have to drop development due to personal reasons, but 2 abandoned games tells me it's more lack of dedication and lost of interest rather than any personal reasons

You should ask this over on the recommendations forum, where it's likely more people will see it and can offer suggestions. You can click this button to create a new thread:

It took the Dev a while to come to terms with the fact, that, the game engine sucked balls from the get go, endless bugs because of the game engine, it was suggested to the Dev to learn Renpy and return with a game made with Renpy.
Now, weather the Dev does that or not is another thing entirely, but, when it was suggested, he gave up on his old game engine, when I say endless bug from the game engine, I mean endless, he was running around putting out the fires and never seeing what was causing the blaze to begin with aka the game engine.
His story's in his games are good, game play is good also but can be grindy, renders are good, animation is nice, so he has the skills as a Dev to make a game, but, as said, he stuck by a shit game engine and eventually came to terms with how crap an engine it was, I hope he returns having learned Renpy and puts out games again then.

You should ask this question over on the Recommendations forum, not in the thread for this game. FYI, asking here violates Site Rule #2.4, so I would suggest going to that other forum. I have seen mods remove questions like this before, so this isn't some rule that generally gets ignored.
