Yes. And the conclusion is that I need help :). So, if anyone want to do the illustrations for me, then please send me a message.
I completely agree with you. I think if dev will post 2 or 3 update he/she will get more support.
Agree! There is a thread or forum somewhere on here where writers and artists can connect, but I don't remember the link. You should really check that out. There are many Daz artists on F95 that can't/don't want to write, you just need to find one of them and come to an agreement

Yes, I have had several posts in that forum, and I did find an artist that helped me creating the pilot for The 2nd Chance. But after the pilot was done and the response was mediocre then he decided to leave the project. We spent many months creating the pilot and with the size of the story it will take many years to complete a season unless I can have several artists working on this or can pay someone that many hours each day.

i like xxerikxx's text stories (games) so far... i like to read and use imagination, maybe because i am old (ok not that old hehehehe), but in my youth ages had only access to books, magazines and very rare occasions, videotapes. xxerikxx's stories is very good and too bad younger generations not appreciate text form of entertainment.

damn, no incest with Audrey (she's sexy:love:). thanks for clarifying with another person on the tread, this game wont be for me especially with multiple protagonist (i have found most games with multiple protags tend to fall short on one of story lines) but i do wish you good luck with your project.:)

xxerikxx this being worked on or abandoned ?
This game is abandoned.
If we manage to raise the money then we will make another attempt to create an illustrated version of The 2nd Chance. That would probably be with different artist than in this pilot, so we will start from scratch. This will not happen before we have finished the THS story that we are currently working on.

Marked abandoned as indicated by dev.

yay, more abandoned 0.1 internet clutter /sarcasm. I really wish devs would go in expecting to lose money instead of getting rich or even breaking even but finish what they start anyway, profit or not. Almost no one pays for porn these days, esp in a shit economy.
Trust me, most dev on this site doesn't expect to make money or even break even. To make an illustrated version of this story would cost me around 40.000 dollars if I remember correctly. I don't have that kind of money, so this game ended up just as a text-based game. Another thing that kills motivation is all the trolls and negativity online. I think many developers early discover that making games is not worth it. (Time... money...negativity.)

Actually, you'll probably find many abandoned games are for that exact reason, they go in to it for the wrong reasons, trying to get rich quick, and for most it doesn't turn out that way.
Alternatively, they make a game, it doesn't do well, so they abandon it to make another one, hoping that one will be successful, but they don't seem to realise that doing so just makes people not have any faith in the developer for it, so that one doesn't do well either.
If developers have a track record of abandoning games, it is completely understandable that people won't even give any of their future games a second look, and I don't blame them at all.

Most developers on this site are amatures who on their free time enjoy making some renders, do some programing or/and creating some stories. They put it out on sites like this because they're curious if someone will like the thing they've created. Some of them may even try to make a game but very few are naive enough to believe that they will make money from this. Most of them stop putting out things on this site because they get tired of hearing random people telling them how worthless they are. The best thing players can do to reduce the number of abandoning games is to be supportive of these people who are spending time and money on creating free content. If you don't have something nice or constructive to say, then just move on to the next game.

Strange discussion but I figured I have a few alerts from it in the past few days, so wanted to add my 2 pence worth.

Eight years into game development, I think I might have made back my investments (tens of thousands, between assets & computer gear, never mind however much a minimum wage gorilla is worth) this year after all is said & done.

Take a stroll through the earliest games here on F95 - the ones from the website's origins - how many developer names on those titles do you see in active development? None, to my knowledge. The industry has been around for a long while, it'll be here after all of us get bored & move on, and anybody who's been around the block once knows, there is no free lunch, no lottery ticket, etc.

Does a player care about any of that? Odds are good they don't.
