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

[Jacowboy]

wait what does that mean sorry im asking cuz i idk what pirated hs content? was there a scene from HS that he take?

All of these 3D anime-looking AVNs use either Honey Select or Koikatsu to make the visuals... both of those are games, not licenced creation software (like DAZ, Blender or Photoshop)... which means they are mis-using someone else's intellectual property, and that's why they are ALL free to play and can't be sold on Steam or any other serious store front... they can't be legally monetized.

Same goes for AVNs that use the Sims or whichever other non-licenced game engine...

So yeah, HS "devs" complaining about piracy is a bit silly, tbh.

you have to read the fine print of w/e product you're using. Sony doesn't like people putting any of their media on their work. Bethesda likes people making social content with their media, but you're not allowed to sell it. Daz itself requires you to buy a license if you want to use their engine in the game(but apparently it's fine to create still images like most renpy games). It's all about permission.

Fuck, sad to see this one die.
I hope all goes well for Flynn.

I mean, up to a point, no big company will like or endorse porn creations no matter what... Even with a license, sometimes you can get dinged for TOS breaches if you do porn.

Wait what????? Abandoned??? Abandoned??? WHAT?????? I am so sad right now... Noooooo... . But, but but the last update was like what? Little more than a month ago???? What happened??? This is devastating.

Edit: Saw the discord post. Very sad news, but I hope Flynn is all right and everything goes well for him in the future. If you see this Flynn, best wishes and thank you for all you have done for us <3

I believe this might have been his last post on Patreon, a second (now perhaps last) batch of peeks from the new update:

Slowly approaching, yet just as heart breaking. Flynn, Stray Incubus was one of the first games I first ever played, and truly an inspiration to start my own adventure!

I'm extremely lucky and thankful to call you a friend, Flynn.
I wish you all the luck for the future! Don't be a stranger. Thank you for being you!

Your passion is etched into all of us, and within our projects.

Wdym slowly approaching? How did you know this was coming?

He did say that he was friends with Flynn, so it might make sense that he would at least have a cursory knowledge that something was awry with Flynn.

Losing this one actually hurts a bit. I was really enjoying reading the story, and of course, every single LI was fantastic. Sure I have my favorites but every great eVN makes it pretty much impossible to choose just one. Holy crap this sucks.

I'd say if money was tight, maybe Flynn could have posted Season 1 on Steam. It deserves more love.

For the zillionth time on this site, honey select can't be posted on steam. The models are technically all owned by the company that makes honey select.

AVN made with HS/HS2 can't be legally monetized directly due to licensing.
Edit: Yeah, what Tiger said, essentially.

The writing was sorta on the walls from last time, last time he was right on the edge but got just enough subs on patreon to keep going but the writing was there that if SI didnt blow up chances were it was going to be abandoned or turned into a part time hobby

 

[PeanutbutterJoe]

Just saw the notification that this is abandoned now, quite sad to see. This was definitely one of the better games on here, one that I've enjoyed playing quite a bit. No hate on Flynn though, I have no idea what's actually going on but from what I could gather from reading the last few posts it's some personal / family issue on top of other shit. So yeah, thanks for getting this far and good luck to you if you do happen to read this post. Hope things turn for the better ASAP.

This game being abandoned really sucks cuz it blows the majority of other games on here out of the water. Hopefully the dev decides to work on it a little in his free time here & there cuz I much rather see this get resurrected every 2-3 years instead of The Tyrant.

based on his Discord messages he aint coming back, he said someone else could take it over and left all the assets and such in the hands of one of the mods to hand off to someone that wants to continue it. I would love if Flynn kept it going but I give it a 0.1% chance of happening

Ideally, the new "owner" can continue the graphics and development, with Flynn engaged for writing, since I think bandwidth is the main problem where he's moving to. That's probably too much to ask for...

Sad to see this go. Was one of the better in terms of having an actually story and sense that it was going somewhere.

 

[Zemax]

Great game and an even greater developer, I hope you're doing well Flynn974

I just cant believe that Flynn will be gone now... I think this is the saddest I have ever been seeing a game getting abandoned... just sitting here, reading his farewell message over and over... feeling so empty right now...
God damnit, it was such a good game and Flynn was a great dev...
Even more unfortunate that his discord is kinda closed now, so... farewell Flynn and all good to you...
