VN Ren'Py Stray Incubus [S2 Ch.3b] [IP Studios]

if the game isn't profitable, they abandon it
if the game is profitable, they extend the money-drawing process as much as possible, after all, you pay every month, regardless of whether there was an update or not

and as you can see, there are plenty of ways or excuses to extend the time between updates
a new job, family problems, computer problems, illness, to name just a few, and every month a transfer from patronite comes

na, that's idiotic. Have you heard of the Hollywood formula? Let's say someone were to "mass produce" these games, they would know not to make a %$^& game and expect it to do well. Instead, they would copy an already known good model and just make variations on that instead of producing a bunch of random trash. Stray Incubus is of decent quality, and I don't see other, similar junk floating around on the internet, so where are these Other "mass produced" games at?

bro was living in another country to study and he needed the game money to keep there, but, u know, ppl started leaking his stuff too early and things got south

 

[Wolfeszorn]

oh boy, here we go again. There were multiple reasons why the game went downhill. Stupid Tier lists, sudden sex events out of the blue, no buildup with certain characters etc. Blaming early leaks is really just the tip of the iceberg

EDIT: Oh and before i forget to mention it, yes, i was a sub regardless. i upped my tier after flynn literally threatened to abandon the game if it doesn´t get more support. And guess what? He still abandoned it even after he got what he wanted. Never mentioned in any news that he´s thinking about abandoning it, even posted preview pics before he pulled the plug. I´m personally pissed as fuck about how he handled it in the end. Still loved the characters though.

Well damn, always liked this one and was waiting until the next update to continue from the end of Chapter 1 so I'd have a nice amount of story to go through. Guess it's time to catch up anyway.

I´m personally pissed as fuck about how he handled it in the end. Still loved the characters though.

I mean if he was literally posting preview pics and working on the next update right before all this happened, are you really sure he abandoned it because of all the conspiracies that it was unsuccessful/not making enough money and not the reason he gave about family issues and finding a real job that'll pay better?

Though it could very well be both, I'm an optimist so I'd like to assume he really had to abandon because of family issues, cuz if it was just simple game not making enough money, he could just get a real job and work on the game part time and just lengthen the development process and potentially decrease sub costs or just be transparent about it and let subs decide if they wanna continue supporting.

I feel like if he actually "got what he wanted" (and I'm assuming you mean the financial support that he required to keep this as his fulltime job) then he wouldn't have considered abandoning, especially if there wasn't actually a family issue, since if there wasn't an issue he could still just receive the money from subs rather than nuke everything and not get any money anymore.

I do think it sucks how he handled it at the end but again I feel like the abruptness is an indication that there were actually personal issues, but then again I'm an optimist and I also can't see any reason why he'd just abandon it, at the very least if he was being scummy and abandoning cuz he wasn't making money, he would just become a milker.

Though I've heard that he did stuff like move to an expensive location and shit so maybe there is some fault of his own there.

Ultimately, I liked the game, it had its issues but Flynn was at some points very communicative and open to critique on scenes so I believe he would improve future scenes to not feel like the ones people hated, and I hope one day he will be able to return.

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 !

This is so sad, the game was amazing with huge potential. It hurts the most when actually well crafted stories got abandoned, this one being one of them... I'm also someone who plays AVNs for their stories, not the lewds, and fantasy being my fav genrem its just sad...

I wish Flynn974 and his family all the best and maybe a come back in the future.

And kudos for being transparant and deleting his accounts for not being able to continue on the game! We have seen way too many devs just vanish without a word, but their pages still actively taking money.

This game was on my favorites list. Really sad to see it go. Maybe a competent team can take it over? Even then it might not be the same. I'll check back now and then in hopes it gets continued. Too bad.
