I heard rumour on the grapevine, or probably one of his more rabid fans, that Gumdrop was planning an update ..... heard it all before ... many times ... but they seemed quite adamant this time ... again.
Just like the few Aorrta fans who expected the July update to actually release. Sigh. Well BSS fans can always look forward to the multitude of abandoned releases so that's something...

They are one and the same. They had multiple accounts post a game then abandon it and then post another game and soon kill it as well. They expected to be rolling in the money as soon as they dropped game for people to play.

Which is unfortunate, because I rather liked this particular game as well as Sex Coach or whatever it was, made under a different developer name but was more than likely Bright Sun Studios, haha.

Not quite how abandoned games work plus the dev was a joke and got laughed off the site, deleted his Patreon and was never seen again.

Bright Sun Studios/lusty rose (they are the same person) might of reopened it but it was a dead patreon that lead to a 404 error page as they deleted everything.

Malwarebytes BrowserGuard blocks the ZippyShare download of the incest patch.

Could we possibly get it in Workupload or NOPY?

=====================

Well, looky there - when i posted this, it popped up right under Johnny1507's post with a link to another site that got through.

I liked this, bummer it is abandoned. What is the likelyhood something like this might be taken up by someone? I don't suppose anyone knows the stats on that. Seems like high quality renders, probably not just anyone could do it.

The dev will never make another game nor come back to those he abandoned.

He basically blacklisted himself by making several account and trying to cash grab.

Bit late for this but Lusty and BSS are the same person, same as every other dev BSS "helped".

It all came out and he got laughed off the internet.

So I have not followed fuck all of all of this about BSS and such but on lusty the patreon states it is a she and is now doing lewd content with pics and voice and etc ? So is it a he or a she or is this another type of scam being run ?
I have no idea about who done what but it seems you know your shit hence why I am asking.
You seem pretty level headed and on point in most threads I have seen you in.

So is it too much to ask like a TLDR or a small synopsis on what took place ? You can even PM me it if you want ?
Purely asking because of curiosity and if it is too much to ask or a hassle or even simply don't feel like doing so then just say no and no heart feelings ;) .

Basically dev released a couple of games but didn't hit it "big". He had a couple of hundred patreons but his growth was slow although he was growing.

Then he released High School Crush Simulator. People really liked it and his growth started speeding up but still not earning him thousands.

So he abandoned it then released another game who's name I can't remember only now he had a disclaimer. If he isn't earning X amount of money after 2 updates he will abandon that game.

This happened 3 times.

Then this appeared and I don't know who she is but everything in the game is Bright Suns work from the writing to the character models to the IP address it was all launched from.

Same goes for another name that released a game with the same kind of character models and writing.

He just left a large amount of abandoned games and it started pissing people off how he was treating his player base then him using alts and other peoples patreons basically got him blacklisted here, laughed off the site and still mocked to this day.

Just to note it was only on this site he was mocked. A lot of it started happening before I signed up here and he was a laughing stock over on Reddit and ULMF.

He has no credibility anywhere.

Yikes, I remember that High School one alright, that one and this one did peak my interest quite a bit.
Sad to see he/she/whatever was not exactly doing it for a good reason other then to just make money, they would not have made it far with that mentality as in the end there would have been money spend on worthless "DRM" updates would have slowed down significantly.

Making 10 different games does not get you anywhere if you cannot even proper work on one game, the moment someone get's invested into one game and you stop making it and moving up to another you are just killing interest as no one will bother to invest in the characters/actors as they will be abandoned again eventually.

If they just worked on the game as a hobby and did it because they wanted to make a very good game they would have benefited a lot more. Moment you start making something and expecting X amount of or tell people you expect em to pay you an x amount or "blackmail" to abandon, you lose your credibility and respect and people will just avoid you or actually not subscribe to you out of pure spite.

I will never understand people and their way of thinking when it comes to these type of things. If it was money they wanted then they could easily just make and build the game and sold it or put it on steam for 30+ and get paid for a finished game but I think that that is not what they were after and instead just wanted to have an x amount monthly and prob would have dragged out the game as long as possible ending to abandon it anyways at one point when they run out of idea's and prop up an excuse to why they abandon it and started something a new. Shame... a real shame..

Thanks for taking the time and giving me the run down on what took place, much appreciated ;)

Honestly, for those on this site that have the time & aptitude to develop games, all these abandoned games could be a good opportunity for them, (if not monetarily, then at least in credit). For example, if they are developing their own game or considering doing so, Taking on all these abandoned games & finishing them would get them a lot of positive credit in this & other such communities, so when they go to announce, "Hey I'm doing my own game now", they would have a major boost & more people would be ready & willing to throw their support behind it because that dev would already have a good reputation as the guy that completed all those other games.

Now obviously, I know that a lot of people are hesitant to do so because of the possibility of the original dev going after them for "stealing" their IP, (intellectual property), though that's easily mitigated, especially when there is demonstrable evidence that the original creator abandoned the content, like here with BSS. They can't argue that the new dev was stealing anything or taking income away from them, since they willingly abandoned it. Additionally if the games were remade as "fan games" or "mods" that just add content to the original game, or were done for free, (meaning basically passion projects where no income was received directly for that game, hence why I positioned it as doing it for credit rather than monetary gain), then likewise, there is no real copyright violation argument, especially when considering things like fair use.


Look at Nergal's "Urban Demons" game. That was a remake of Wootch's abandoned "Urban X Life" game. No one remembers Wootch or his game, but many were BIG fan's of Nergal's remake & massive supporters of it. Frankly, this could be a great way for good active devs to give themselves a boost on their own projects. Maybe it could even start an "adopt an abandoned game" movement where devs could adopt & finish one or a few abandoned games, which would curry favor in these communities, which could easily translate to more Patrons for their own projects. Just something to consider.
