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

[Bob89rt]

wth are you talking about man lol, i didnt defend him nor the patron who still sub, i just stated the situation of his patreon. i already stop sub to him since long ago after the very first sign.

I am just saying. It's been a year. Somebody deleted my post in this topic on something I know about it. Not discussing, or the forum nazis will delete.

But a year is out of order. He's been stringing people along. He had enough content in the summer when I stopped my sub prior spring. It spelt wrong then. Gonna add the polls, and blah blah, then excuses on crowdstrike. All he had to do was release anything he'd promised, in his comments on his discord. Instead it smelt worse, and worse. Now it stinks. A year later there's no excuse.

I like the game, a lot, kinks, genre, content, and as a VN it has a lot of choices, it animates them well, it has enough sandbox, potentially adding more, but it hasn't got the content, regularly.

It seems like the dev wants to create his FIRST game with as many possible routes as detroit become human, but without the resources or people to do so.

tbf some game (avn) famous one or not so famous one, do have a yearly update cycle for whatever reason.

the problem with atemsiel are
1. they start to ghost their patron, no patreon post in between month for example no post at all in september 2024; November 2024 and january 2025. i wont count discord chat as a form of communication (even he also start to hide in discord). this is the very clear and bad sign of a game that will soon be abandoned

2. instead of focusing in developing the game, Atem start a side patreon projekt (poll based render) to "appease" some (undestandable) people that start becoming impatient. only to drop the side projekt after 2 months of running.

3. the last post in patreon (december 2024), stated that because of his perfectionist, he hasnt finish the script for the next update yet........ so no progress AT ALL in more than 10 months.... (my bad this one wrong game but similar situation)

TBH, i am amazed by his loyal paid patron that give atem a minimum 1,2k per month or 120k per year even though atem clearly said that there are no progress in more than 10 months LMAO

To be fair, those games (ie BaDIK etc) with yearly update cycles tend to be from established proven developers with completed games under their belt. And usually the development cycle didn't start out like that- it lengthened over time as the underlying game became massive and far more complicated.

Stormside has been in development for only 3 years with a newbie developer and we are already at >1 year for updates. Numerous LI paths haven't even kicked off yet and major plot elements are barely even developed. Then you've got all the side girls, the ghost busting freeroam stuff, the ambitious underlying plot...

Maybe there is a monster update coming that Atemsiel hinted at in this thread back in November, but then what? 18 months till the next update? When you think about it, it's hard to be particularly optimistic about this game.
