VN Ren'Py Single Again [v1.24.2] [Clever name games]

[Radical_Dreamer]

With all due respect, not the first time you've repeated this pointless phrase. If there's news,. it will be posted here, so why do people persist in constantly posting Update News, Wen Update, Hero..blah wah wah...news will be here when it's here.

That aside, it's even more pointless when very soon this is unfortunately going to become a one update per year title (when you consider he working on another title and doing the short stories)....really not worth worrying about...check the thread, no news, move on with your life until there is.

PREACH IT, O DARK LORD OF THE MIGHTY HOT CAFFEINATED BEVERAGE!

In all seriousness, I agree with this sentiment. 99.9% of those that play this (and other games) do so for free (like myself). With that being said, we really have no room to pester anyone for updates. Some devs make money off of their games; many have lives outside of their games that stretch updates out. And that's okay.

I'd rather have an amazing, un-rushed update than a shoddy one put out due to whiny demand. Do I really want an update to this game? Absolutely. One of the better titles on this site. But patience will win out. I'ma be okay. xD

My only issue with this is that we have now passed 5 years real time. It's not a complicated story, there is only 2 branching paths (Beth or not and one hasn't even started yet...vacation). There's no complicated code, no 30 different characters....

It really needs wrapping up.

I don't pester anyone. I am just asking if the dev gave some update on the date, that's all

well the issue with dev times doesn't just come from Single again. as we've already discussed before i believe that he's spread to thin as hes working to many projects at once.
i get patreon voted for some off it etc. but i don't think its a good thing in the long run , best work on them 1 after an other (whit maybe 1 smaller side project) then the what was it?? 3 Main projects + 2-4 side projects at once like hes doing now

For some devs that actually get enough patreons/subscribers that pay enough, it's actually in the dev's favor to string out the AVN to keep that paycheck rolling in unfortunately.

Oh of course. I've long said and believe that Patreon does not incentivize a dev to actually finish anything. Why the hell would you? You notice it's only AVN dev makers that use it? Not even kickstarter is as bad. I wonder why none of them make an AVN and then release it, complete...and live or die by its quality...

We all know the answer....

no doubt this contributes to longer projects, there still are exceptions to that though and they do tend to be the better VN's IMO.
