Since there is no Thread for it yet I'll post the update for the new Game here.

Hello everyone!

I’m back with more scheduled posts! As some of you suggested I decided to heed your advice and from now on I’ll be introducing some (I don’t know yet if I want to reveal all of them) of characters from Race of Life!

The most important character in this game, without him there would be no story - I want to introduce to all of you RoL’s MC - Jake! Probably from the descriptions of the game you already know that he’s a college teacher, currently he’s doing his PhD at Hanford’s University. He’s trying to be the best father he can to his little daughter Lilly but he’s ex-wife is not very pleased about his presence in Lilly’s life. Why exactly? Maybe I’ll tell you more about it when the time comes to introduce Allison Jake truly loves cars. He enjoys going to car meets with his buddy Cooper where they can watch some nice cars and bet on races. He has some major issues with his private life - after what happened with Allison he's not sure about his personality and capability of falling in love. His friend from work Veronica is trying to change that but do you think she’ll make it?

Beside my regular work on some less important characters, refining the story and creating new environments I started working on the main menu of the game. I want it to be more modern and technically well-developed, so the first seconds after you turn on the game will be breathtaking (I know it’s a big word but I hope that you’ll like it!). I started writing up some ideas of mechanics and minigames that probably will be in the game. Minigames would be optional so don’t worry about them if you don’t like them. Next month I will probably start looking for a professional coder to help me out with bringing these ideas to life. If you have any ideas of mechanics or minigames that you really like from other games you can always text me or leave the comment down below! Maybe there’ll be something I didn’t come up with and it’ll perfectly fit into the game.

I need to bring up Underground Studio’s social media so that’s the task for next week!

Anyway, stay tuned!

It's a shame to see what this game is going through. I just found it and the renders are soooo good, the story is nice and I really like all characters and their relationships
I just hope the dev can find a new writer that'll keep the quality and the essence of the characters, and if they do I'll probably put this game on my list to support.
On average I just like 1 to 2 LI but this game all 4 girls are beautiful and their interactions with the mc are really good, this game even has good side male characters that's something pretty rare, even King has some nice scenes and isn't a complete jerk all the time

Ps: Vanessa and Sophia best girls but Jennifer and Rebecca aren't that far behind

I hope this game continues as well. Despite there being many other games set in a similar setting, the renders and writing both give this game a distinct feeling. Something familiar, yet very bold and gripping and really pulls you into it to want to see the interactions between the characters and the actions they make. I think this game is special. Despite the cliches, despite the overdone setting, it is able to deliver on something familiar, fresh, and something I want to keep experiencing.

Shit, I just saw this news today. My poor heart = (

The next game seems to be interesting, but if The Best Days.... come back again, he's going to have a lot of work to do with the 2 games falling into his lap.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that everything goes well, because I loved this game. Good luck, dev. I'm looking forward to playing your next game.

Man, another one gone too soon. Between games being abandoned and completing I'm running out of stuff to play. Doesn't sound like this one is coming back as the dev moved on to another game. Well, I wish him luck.

A new ERA is coming... that is all I am gonna say

You the new writer?

Very good renders but not much more.
Thank you and good luck for the next project.

O.k. ... this game is in limbo for no apparent reason, because all we did get
was actually have girls warm up to MC. It only took 5 updates,
but the paths are distinct enough so that the story could go into meeting and befriending more girls,
so as to offer a conclusion to all that character pampering in the first 5 updates,
or just evolve the two paths with the two girls we actually managed to befriend.

The game kind a postulated that MC was just part of a group that was apart from him,
meaning they, the others in that group, acted as one in pranking and actin mean towards MC.

Then MC warmed back up to them, seeing as any girl he would meet was spoiled by the group.

Some gamers felt good girls were not falling for MC,
the trouble is, the game did not build MC up, it just made him feel inadequate and outside the group.

We still do not have actual interests of MC, something to live for, something to strive for.

Of course, when all we get is babe interactions and the pranks and the feeling lost and lonely,
it got easy to welcome any girl who would warm up to MC and get the game rolling,
making the action actually captivate and go somewhere.

And then, it was gone.

This new game, seems to cater to building MC up pretty well.
Should they go the prequel damnation route again, they should show some of the actual interests and activites of MC that he enjoys, that attract people around him, that make him his own man.
A car gives him instant status and people need some hunk to drive them around,
especially babes. Drawing inspiration from those bas s hun ter videos might work.

Hmmm, you caught me

[Canto Forte]

You can never go wrong with one of the hotties in this game.
Eye candy to melt some time into hot tea with a bite.

 

[Canto Forte]

Sweet girl with a soft spot for computers and multiple wide screens. Neat.

Is Jachu no longer involved with the project at all? Is it planned for the game to continue where it left off or to start all over?

 

[ERA51]

We will continue where it left off... so the earlier updates are canon!
For more information... join our discord

This thing about asking people to join discord or even become a patreon from an unknown writer on a game that was abandoned by the other writer sounds so wrong. Deliver something first before asking for something.
This is why I hate most of vns developers. People support or spend their money on something that 96% of time won't come to an end.
The project will either get abandoned or the devs will either be asking for more and more money to do something as if they couldn't because we are not supporting them enough.

If someone is really serious about something they will do it and support and money will come with time as you become reliable and delivers quality.

Most of game developers, they first do their job and then as they release their content people buy to play it. That is why I like to buy/support VN's through steam. People are spoiling these so called "devs" by giving them money for something that most of the time you will never see the end of it.

I hope you people be smart about supporting any VN. And I advise you to support only reliable developers, those who already finished at least 1 VN and are working on others. They are the ones who trully deserve it.

These were the days. The best days of their lives. MC had a babe into him, some other babe a little less into him.
Now, there are just the memories of a starting up game that was still looking for the footing of a plot and intrigues.

Everything is about money in the internet "now", everything is a business that needs support. Also, since it's impersonal, people have no issues with asking and even begging...
