I understand it getting abandoned, but why everything is nuked? Even on itch Oo
The game was great, with interesting story, and should have had a lot of fans, but sadly the bar was set too high for it, by the time it came out people was a bit too jaded by HS graphics. Some developers rework the beginning for a reason, and this one is also one of the games that needed that.
Also, patreon with tiered release date is...yeah, not a great idea. Why? Well, I am sure patrons want to talk about the update right after playing it too, no matter how high in that tier list they are, and lower tiered not really appreciate the wait even though they paid. And soon to be patron might reconsider being one when he sees something like that.
Rest in peace, Stray Incubus, may you be the experience that developer and players remember fondly.

Stop making up conspiracy theories... the dev had already talked about not being too happy with the support he got and the leaks and all that...

Most likely he just decided to cut his losses. As unfortunate as it is, it shouldn't really be a huge surprise.

I would assume this was a very painful or difficult decision. Artistic control aside, a clean break might have felt like a less painful situation. No reminders of what could have been, etc...

We'll probably never know the full reasons and yea it's probably multiple things.
Interestingly I see some games where I wait a month or more as low tier supporter unless I pay a sizeable amount, so I really don't know what affects something leaking or not. The whole financial model is weird. If you support a typical project for 5 years (typical dev length) for just 1$ a month that's price of a AAA game, for something that may become unfinished and it's a tiny project in comparison (1-5 people not 300 working on it, and it's a more or less linear story with limited interaction compared to an 'actual' game). Apparently the value proposition is not right, and the business model also doesn't work for most... kinda like mopbile development maybe?
Anyway, story was weird but interesting, characters kinda bland and 2 dimensional but some unique ones for sure, I prefer better models however this project sure had some interesting atmosphere and it's a pity that it's over. All the best to the developer.

damm liked this one though can understand why it got abandoned hopefully things improve for the dev and in the future they are in a better position to finish this project. Though to be honest i really don't think anyone should be creating games like this that rely on monthly donations as a full time job anyway unfortunately most of the time it never ends well. I think games like this should really be passion projects that developers do in their spare time and because of the passion they have for making games or if they choose to do it full time they have the means to support themselves financially from other sources.

shit what a bummer that it had to come like this....
but i must agree and i wrote something similiar regarding the time period for tier releases a couple of pages back here when his last update was leaked.
the most devs have a timeframe for about 14 days from the highest tier to the lowest and then on day 16 or 17 a public release.
i sayed it then and i see that i was partly right to say that the timeframe was too long and the prizes for high tier supporters were too high too no matter what the dev gives you as "extras".
you can do that with highers prices and more "extras" when you have a big fanbase like a thousand supporters or so,but when you lack those it gets difficult to make a living.
with fewer numbers a dev needs to stay low on the tier prices to gain as many supporters as possible.
you loose too much potencial supporters when the prices are too high and the timeframe between the tiers is too long.
if my memory serves me right he had around 260 supporters at the last update.just take every supporter to the 5$ tier and you have 1340$ already and thats is currently 1300€ for someone who lives somewhere in europe.
put the half of it to 10$ and the other half to 5$ you have 1950$ and that is 1892€
i don´t know from witch contry in europe he was,but 1300€ or 1892€ is a solid start and it is only a 5$ tier and 10$ tier that 80-90% of the supporters are paying for support.
i don´t know what the full reason behind this all is and i think it is not fully the financical aspect here alone,but it is sure a part of it.
however Flynn974 i wish you and your family all the best and maybe there will be a time when you will be able to continiue the game..

Oh damn, not another one. I've disappointed before here, but this AVN being abandoned really makes me feel both sad and disappointed. What a bad new on Sunday after waking up from a nap.
well, how much do you care? If you can gather enough caring people and find Flynn to negoitate a deal, you could probably get 'em back to work. From the sound of the post, I'd guess they probably need a thousand plus monthly in income. It's not easy.

Farewell Flynn and farewell Stray Incubus and all the girls in the game. I never understand the criticism towards the renders as I think they are just fine, the sex scenes are genuinely sensual and the story is engaging. I'm sorry things don't work out for you at present, but I think everything will be fine in the end, so keep living and fighting, Flynn, whether you return to the game or not, you are always one of the best AVN devs in my eyes. Thank you for the ride.
