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

[JigglyPal]

Well, I think if he isn't going to continue working on it in a reasonable timeframe, I would rather he just moved on.
Releasing more unfinished content for Stormside isn't gonna make anyone happy, better to move on until he actually decides he's ready to work on it, and if that never happens then at least he doesn't create false expectations for the people that liked Stormside.

It'd make me happy if he dropped the update he's been working on.

He's already announced he was "gonna see about getting the unreleased Stormside content packaged up and released" in September, so any false expectation has already been created. Two or three times for this exact same content drop, really.

And about a week ago he said he was looking to release it this past weekend... One week later.

And was abandoned for a shit game

The new game was designed to be simple to make.
If you know much about making a game at all, it is pretty obvious.
Atemsiel has the ability to make an excellent game. Unfortunately that requires work and thinking over a long period.
The new game is a reflection of someone who does not want to work hard in the long term.
Sure, the game took some effort to design, but updates would require very little work and the game could extend forever and basically... go nowhere.

Well, I can understand the amount of effort and attention to detail with Stormside was realistically not sustainable.
Still, I think he should have tried to reach some sort of compromise and maybe cut some routes or not make as many renders per scenes as he was doing. The quality would be worse, but I still think it would be on par with big games here + I think his followers would understand, better that than just abandoning Stormside.
