VN Ren'Py Abandoned Sweet Revenge [v0.09] [RhodiumRho]

[johnmnf692]

This game is mostly decent, but there are a handful of design choices that severely hinder it, especially in the later portion of the game.
First and foremost, if this is a harem game, it is downright stupid to keep making the player choose between scenes with LIs. You are literally just punishing the player for no reason.

Second, there is no point to cutting to black between renders so often, especially during H-scenes. A fade to black should only be used when transitioning from one scene to another, not within the same scene. For example, when the MC goes to Penny's office the morning after saving Himiko, he opens the office door and then the game fades to black and he is sitting next to Penny. Why?

Finally, every time there's a shot transition within a scene, it takes way too long for the text to change even with max text speed. This forces the player to constantly double click otherwise the play time of the game will almost double. I don't need to get carpal tunnel just so I don't have my time wasted.

As an aside, I recognize that this is moreso a matter of taste than an objective criticism, but everything involving George and Electra's goons was egregiously obnoxious; total filler.

Hello everyone!

We are excited to announce some big changes to our update schedule. Typically, we release one update every 3 months. We know... It's too long. That's why we are planning to change that!

Starting from version 0.10, instead of one update every 3 months, we will switch to releasing an update approximately every 1.5 months (45 days). The date may change; if we finish early, we will publish it early. However, to accommodate this new schedule, we have had to adjust the number of scenes (renders).

Currently, each update includes about 800+/900+ scenes and at least 2-3 H-scenes. With the new schedule, each update will feature around 500+ scenes and 1-2 H-scenes.

Kind regards,

Rhodium&Rho

Did anyone else catch the reference to GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)?

So... "we'll be updating faster" and 3 months later we've heard nothing from then.
It isn't in abandoned territory till tomorrow, but cna't imagine a lot changing till then.

It isn't in "abandoned territory" until December of 2025. The abandoned tag isn't applied until eighteen months without an update.
If you read the whole post it states that the date may have to change for when they publish their updates. Also that they'll publish early if they finish early.
Which sounds like they are making changes to both how they make the updates, and the schedule with which they publish them.
So all bets are off on when the next one will come out. Just have to be patient.

Or..... 3 months of radiosilence from the dev on their channels.
Seeing as last patreon is from July 17th, we'll be hitting that tomorrow.

Shit, they don't drop the tag after a year but 18 months? That's nuts.

As was said, not even a brief update for three months isn't a good sign either way for like 98% or so of games.

The Dev was Last seen Sep 3, 2024 on F95zone, they're still around somewhat. So it's been only a bit over a month of radio silence. However their last interaction on the site was July 21st.

They give the tag 18 months after last release if the dev is still active/posting on their socials. It's what happened with Summertime Saga. And then the dev's release the abomination of an update to get the tag removed.

From my understanding, them just logging in and lurking isn't enough. They actually have to be active on the forum. But I guess it can be reported from monday/tuesday and then a mod will make the final descision.

From my previous reports, it really seems to depend on whichever mod gets the report. Some will mark it if the dev is active here but not patreon etc. Other times they won't mark it even if the dev has been MIA for over a year.

There's one game I reported twice and the dev doesn't even have any account (or a name at all) here or anywhere else just a game released on steam. That game has only ever one update over a year ago and they refuse to mark it abandoned. So it really comes down to who gets the report and the rules be damned.

是的，这是可能的。

Hi, bro.! I really want to know if this game has been abandoned, after all, there hasn't been any news for 4 months. To be honest, I quite like this game
