VN Ren'Py Stormside [v0.23.1.4] [Atemsiel]

there are also some redflag that was displayed by the dev last year

1. instead of focusing in developing the game, the dev suddenly announce that they will make monthly special render based on polling and insisted that the special render wont disturb the development process..... it only lasted for 2 months (i dont know what happen because i stop my subs to their patreon since they announce the special render).

2. then from there on the communication started to slow down in patreon. communcation (progress update or similar) started to have a blank between month (there are no update or communication in patreon in September and November) which didnt happen before august.

i saw a lot of other game that have the dev show similar attitude and it never went well.

like the person before me said, a game development process NEVER got faster after each update, it always got slower (for any reason good or bad). and with the pace of this game being develop, any hope that i have for this game vanish.

The game needs sponsors. Or, alternatively, work with someone together, as far as I understand, the developer works alone.

The special renders stopped also. The last communication from the dev was on Christmas eve 2024. He did not really even mention the game. Just that on discord there should be a message sent out to the "pesky gnome" level patrons. These are very high level (much higher than I am). There was little to indicate any progress on the game at all. He apologized for lack of communication but that does not do much good, if the only thing you get is an apology. I am usually pretty optimistic but I am also loosing hope at this point. But, I do know of at least two developers that I thought would never again release an update. One finally released one a few days ago and I realized right away why it had taken so long. I was incredible. There is this possibility but there are no guarantees.

You are correct. His only help is to manage his discord. The game is all on Atem. He also has a full time job, which from what I can tell, has been very stressful this last year. He does need help, there is no doubt, but his personality will not allow that to happen. If he does get back to this game, I suspect it will take a long time. Even his discord has become silent.
