VN Ren'Py Abandoned Stray Incubus [S2 Ch.2a] [Flynn974]

It's something we absolutely hate to see

Seeing all the silly theories about why the game stopped and people arguing in the thread trying to prove they're right, I’ll just share the last message Flynn974 posted on his Discord server. You can check it out in the 'flynns-final-message' section at the top left of the channel tabs.
I think arguing over those reasons, or trying to prove that one person or another is right, is pretty childish and unhelpful. Spreading rumors and false claims doesn’t get us anywhere either.

Flynn974 clearly explained in his message the serious and important reasons behind the halt of production on his AVN and why he stepped back from this activity. I have no reason to question what he said, and even if I did, it wouldn't change the current situation.
I’m sharing this message with you all, sorry if it’s already been shared, so everyone can check it out freely and maybe get convinced or at least learn about the reasons Flynn gave.

Also, I’d like to add that the dev was respectful and transparent with his community of backers by explaining why he’s stepping away. He could’ve easily chosen not to say anything, stopped communicating with his supporters, and kept taking money from them while leaving his accounts active on the platforms where Stray Incubus was hosted.
To me, that doesn’t really give anyone a valid reason to go after him or question his integrity. That’s just my opinion on the matter, though.

I'll leave it up to you to form your own opinion with all the facts, in case you haven’t read this message left by the developer.

I share this sentiment, I assumed people coming up with the theories all already saw this and didn't believe it, but I'd like to be optimistic that there's no reason for Flynn to lie when he seemed like a decent dev in the few posts I've seen of him here, and he seems to be an acquaintance of other respected devs.

Ultimately, I didn't know him personally either, but he seemed like a pretty decent person based on his posts here in the thread and our private message exchanges.

I can't stop people from debating, nor do I wish to, just as I can't stop them from coming up with various theories, even the most outlandish ones, if it suits them. However, I do hope they do so with all the facts available to them, and we can always hope for some intellectual honesty and decency.

Anyway, all this fuss will eventually calm down. What I'm more curious about is what’s next for Stray Incubus—will it really be the end, or will someone else take over and keep going with the work Flynn started, like passing the torch ?

And even if, unfortunately, the project really does end for good, I'll still have good memories of this game and can always come back for a few sessions whenever I want. I’d rather focus on the positive side of this experience, even though it’s a bit sad. Otherwise, there are plenty of other AVNs to discover and enjoy !
