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

[hopefuldoc]

Two cute little sluts; Cassie and Torr
and the two amazing abandoned harem games; Stormside and Stray Incubus.

What a fucking shame. They even got identical faces as well.

Well Illusion hasn't been around for a while but still due to copyright you can't use the assets for commercial purposes.

Illusion rebranded as Illgames with Honeycome Come Come Party so technically they are still around and Koikatsu is still being sold on Steam. It might be possible to license their assets, but that would probably require going to Japan and negotiating with them and I've never heard of anyone making the attempt.

What I don't like about copyrights is this kind of absurdity.

You would probably feel different if you created something and people went out and made money with it without you getting anything in return.

Well, I meant that if they don't exist, but the rights are preserved and there's nothing you can do about it, but the above comment clarified the situation.

i saw the beforehand abandoned tag but i didnt know it would end like that

This game reminds me of another AVN called "Summer Scent" since both of them have tons of route variations (albeit nothing can be compared with Summer Scent in terms of route split) to navigate and thus inevitably cost more time to develop, during which either devs get burnt out or (for me most importantly) players just gradually lose interest because the attention span can only last for a limited amount of time.

Nah stomside would have had WAY more variations/paths and routes than summer scent, its not even a comparison. The scummer scent dev is just the slowest dev ever seen, he creates like 10-20 renders a month lol, i think its the worst case of being a perfectionist.

While the dev here, we have no clue but its not really unlikely that he got overwhelmed with all the variations already, couple that with all the guys who predicted that and are now "Told you so", i can see why he went down under

Fair enough since I dropped SS ages ago due to the abysmal development period and the only thing I remember vividly is the overwhelming "walkthrough", but you are right, in terms of route variation AND combination of different LIs' different routes, Stormside really takes the stage. I just hope that if the game by some miracle gets revived, the dev should just dial down the variations and instead focus on the actual plot progression and relationship buildup.

I agree, I think the best thing Atemsiel could do if he ever reappears is look at what he has set up and seriously consider how to either reduce the amount of routes he has planned or at the very least reduce the variations between the routes themselves so he doesn't go burn out/go insane. Then again it looks like that advice is a little too late.
