RPGM Abandoned Succulence 2: Re-Broadcast [v0.1] [(R)Nest]

[Humato]

Since it seems like we’re not getting anything,

I’m semi at here too. Like the game feels cleaner and plays slightly nicer, but it really depends on how much he sticks to it from here.

If I remember correct the dev behind [R]Nest used to work together with someone on the first game. Sometime after the second game started that person quit, and everything started to go downwards. The only person that was left tried to do the other developers job the same time as his/her own. And that made it all messed up.

From the feeling I get from this new version I think [R]Nest has stopped trying to save the old "sinking ship"-version and started with an all new one.

By the look of the size of this version on the harddrive I think there is a lot of mechanics behind that we don't know so much about at the moment. So I think the dev want to try go back to the game again. So I'm also semi here. This could turn out great for everyone, the same as the first game.

But I don't think it's right for some people to write bad words about how much [R]Nest get paid. We don't know if there is a Discord or other server involved in the work. So there might be a lot going on behind the scene that we have no clue about ("payers only" so to say). So I wish those who write in anger stop doing so. They are just bullying the supporters for their own lack of knowledge. They are not bullying the developer. I think the paying supporters might know more than we do.

The comments on his newest Patreon post is littered with sarcasm and I am pretty damn certain that [R]Nest doesn't understand sarcasm. In fact I'll go a step further and believe that he doesn't listen to his patrons at all. He puts polls and crap like that on his Patreon to get engagement and pretend he listens.

Oh and has anyone else tried to save in this 5-10 minute sample of the not long enough to be called a game?
Someone here exclaimed this had no errors or crashes, but that person obviously didn't try to save.
Whoever it was that said that about this "game" doesn't even deserve to be quoted or searched for the post.

[R]Nest should just stick all his project files into a zip/rar file and give it to someone else. If the dude is ill then start a Gofundme and get the hell off of Patreon unless he's gonna actually do something once a month. A month is a long time and once people give you over $900 you have a responsibility to at least do some kind of work.

0 hope for this dev but let's see how much content is there and if he actually makes reasonable updates this time, like the one he already promised in 2-3 weeks

 

[hazurasu]

If the developer will make content (story, events, plot) updates every 2-3 weeks without delay, the game will quickly regain everything it lost. But that's all up to the developer, not us and we will see in the near future

and also not near future
but "NEXT" update
from last info
he will give it less than 1 month
let's see on next 1 month deadline
does he stick to his own word or not

if yes
maybe

MAYBE
the prev supporter include me will become his patreon again
but
IF NOT
well

nope

yeah, from what it seen on first game
he must be easy to get the CG since all they do is mostly static or small animated things
based on (i forget) "some honey select, or koikatsu" type of games

so as far as we or other ppl had "basemodel"
we can make the story from thin air
and waste 3hour maximum for 1 frame of CG
then maybe waste 6-12 hour for coding is more than enough for 1 code lead to 1 cg (if the coder is noob ofc)

but let's see how well they stick on his own word this time
will this is become first and last post this year
or he will comeback to past
updating this game til the end?

 

[chiukeo123]

yes

 

[Dupson]

is the game now on newer version of rpgm?

 

[Karminator]

Wut... It's just into and ends with the park

This shit wasn't as bad as the Summertime Saga update which actively took 90% of the game content away, but coming back after so long with nothing and just saying "I lost my mojo" is still like spitting in the face of the people who HAVE actively supported these games. Hopefully from here there are good things to follow and eventually a finished Succulence 2

I mean, it was quite clear that he lost his mojo. And in the end, he also paused the payments during those delays, so I dont think it is that bad for the people subscribed to his Patreon.

IMO if he now delivers v0.2 in two weeks and can keep a schedule with shorter, but faster Updates, it might not be that bad. What he had previously planned did not work out for him, so it is positive that he is trying something new now.

He seems to use Realplay, an older Illusion title, for his character. It's pretty close to the base model settings, so it would be incredibly easy to replicate. With just a little work you could use a later Illusion title to create a better model. I'd recommend Honey Select 2. There's a studio plug in that you can do amazing things with and you could easily surpass anything he would've done.
Here's a sample, a character I made of Serena using Honey Select 2.

Succulence was one of the first game I played and is one of my favorites it's really sad to see it's sequel in such a state

 

[Shadowclonezero]

monroe
better change that changelog for AE lmao

" If everything goes well, new version of Succulence 2 will be done in the second half of November. "

the DEV said "OOF"

I'm not quite sure what you were expecting them to say. If that's what happened, then... would you have preferred a lie? People always complain about excuses, but when someone gives a very honest "I couldn't find motivation to do it" answer, then they also complain. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Make up your mind whether you want to be lied to or not.

this is the most "heavy" discussion i ever seen on f95
after quick checking
yes it's feels similar character, XD

if this dev really quit developing maybe i will follow the steps of "DAMON" dev, which make full game at once release....
seems simple enough since i know how to build game via rpgm so it should not the issue... less than 6 month if we already had the storyline on brain, it should be done really fast XD

but for this moment lets see how this succulence going....
2-3 update, if it's really true, well i think the dev is "worth enough" to get the patreon comeback

 

[hazurasu]

Succulence was one of the first game I played and is one of my favorites it's really sad to see it's sequel in such a state

i know how that feels man....
sadly enough on past i found succulence after alot of hour searching other game that had feels like a zombie's life, zombie retreat, and other's nergal games....

for nergal back then, the issue was on patreon which disabled his account
(now we had subs star, which allow most "Deep" nsfw plot)
but sadly the dev isn't gonna same again

then succulence comes with "good enough" content every update even though the ending little bit feels uncomplete....
succulence 2 feels will bring MORE of them... but sadly til 2024 we're on the middle of the year now, and the content still far from even half done...

sad

I hurried along using various settings when I created the character. With more time I could match the models. Messing around with character creators used to be a hobby. I played through all the old Saints Row games using a variation of Sammy Davis Junior. Kinda wishing I still had those character files for screenshots.

 

[ckt99]

Did he basically release this crummy update so the abandoned tag could be taken away, so it could look to his patrons that there could be another update?
