[micekick]

hey idk why it was marked the case but the game is very much not abandoned the development is just taking longer , you can check there discord i think they started a QA testing if i am not wrong ... so ya.. the game is still very much going i hope..

it's been 2 years since the last update, ergo abandoned tag

because he hates project managers and corporate deadlines. He is running his business the way he wants it run, even if we don't agree on his decisions. It's his business to run it how he wants. You wouldn't want people shoving their noses in your business if you were successfully doing what you wanted to do for a living and made good money doing it. That's why.

Whether or not I agree with how he runs his business is beside the point. It is his business. Not mine. Not yours. His.

Well if he wants to make it more difficult on himself...It's the "successfully" part that is odd at this point. And it is the business of those who are paying him, especially any "whales" which I'm assuming he has. If I were one of them we would have had some frank communication by now. The ones he has must be extremely understanding.

Maybe I should check out this Aurelia though. Surprised at the dislike Insexual Awakening has here. It was my first porn game and I thought it was great, sexy art, good erotic situations. Could've done without the loli but otoh don't think I've seen a hot gilf in the games I've played since.

All this talk of hardware, software and AI systems of the future. However, this tech update stays well and truly rooted in the past. Something tells me that DC has already made his money and this particular tech update will never see the light of day.

I actually expect we will get a small partial tech update around of the month. The dev team would be crazy not to follow through on that at least. They have easy money rolling in, why jeopardize that.
There is a massive question mark on how long the full tech update will take though.

Artificial intelligence will become a captivating addiction worldwide in a few years, while manual art will acquire a slightly vintage allure... i particularly enjoyed some of the renders from Dall-e

Until it gets neutered and you can't make anything 'offensive' with it. Like porn.

I'm not exactly sure of the timeframe but I think it's 18+ months of no physical updates is considered abandoned. Awesome that they are doing QA testing but that was only announced within a few days after receiving the abandoned tag here and on a few other sites. Correct me if I am wrong.

We're waiting for this 'small partial tech update' for more than two years now, forget it, I don't know why or how they still got supporters when they've abandoned (or at least it feels like it) the single game they've been working on ¬_¬

It's funny how revealing these type of lists are.



Paradise Lust is pretty average. The art doesn't really stand out and the plot is pretty basic. Mind you, average =/= bad. A perfectly average porn game does exactly what it needs to do, provide people with stuff to fap to.

I know, they make good taste evident.

Who are Abby and Jane again? I completely forget lol. But yeah, I think Annie's mom was the one I was referring to.

Abby is the incredibly forgettable fitness chick, and Jane is the librarian.

Then why not hire a real project manager? From the impression I get here of his success he can probably afford to.

I think there's multiple reasons. But mainly that DC's mentality has always been that he wants to work on the game full time but not increase the scope of operation just because people throw copious amounts of money at him.

Booo, I wouldn't let him off the hook that easily. Those existing characters are the ones people have known for years and have an attachment to. It hasn't even been that long for me and tbh remembering the girls from your list, I care much less about them in comparison to the ones we already got to know deeply.

I agree, the "main" characters are a lot more interesting to me than the side characters, and I'd love for the quests to be more interconnected (and have generally more content but that's another discussion). But they've never promised or aimed for interconnected design, I'm not keeping them on the hook for a design choice that's been that way from the start. I'd rather have it differently but they go with isolated quests, which is fine.

Or who to never trust with kids, given the amout of loli and shota on it.

Will it be possible to create/add a ipatch on the supposely next update (tech update)?

Likely possible, why wouldn't it be?

My guy we're playing a game that's basically in a highschool conveniently called college to abide by patreons standards lol
no one outside of this website is gonna buy the "A guy who goes to a college that looks like a highschool who lives with his landlord who's clearly his mom"

I mean, there's still a difference between that and Unteralterbach. Anybody who puts that game on a top 10 list has to be shitposting - at least one would hope so...

Oh god, i just looked it up....
I retract my last statement

 

[Syliar]

it's been 2 years since the last update, ergo abandoned tag

Odd given the recode is entering release testing as of April 30th on their Patreon...

We will all believe it when we see it.
And I will remind you since I was subbed to this turd of a developer. The Tech update. Will only update the game. There will be no new content. So even IF they drop a new version. There will be ZERO new content.
See you in another 2 years

 

[Fayrus]

My dear lord, "tech update", it never stops surprising me how ppl follow this joke and even gives him money. Also, it always cought me off guard how he just re uses everything, even more so animations, especially the internal jizz one, he just reverses the mini animation depending if the MC is doing doggy or cowgirl positions, and the dick doesn't even match with it's size and location hahahaha.
He is definetively the King of scammers in this whole site, I can't give him a trophy like youtube or patreon, but I'll give him the gouchebag star ☆

 

[JB08]

isnt this game making like 100k a month? why abandon this cash cow?

I have no memory of them for the life of me. But what we're really talking about here is just compelling writing, which an interconnected design would be a function of, and I don't think that needs to be explicitly promised from the start. If it hasn't happened so far, that just means it's still an unexplored avenue for them to tap into.

It is a pretty good game, especially when it comes to the actual shitposting. Not to mention, it isn't only finished, but it was done by a single person and even before STS was a thing.
