RPGM Abandoned The Coceter Chronicles [v0.15 Beta1] [Nverjos]

[RustyV]

Nverjos may have decided that it was impossible to continue the story with all of Patreon's censures.
Sadly it appears that if you remove everything from the game that the puritans at Patreon demanded there would not be much left.
Maybe this is a case of artistic integrity. Still sucks though.

Yep, look at that beastly part, yea it had a girl and dog part and it had the monster and girl and Patreon was going after that, yes Patreon left him keep the monster and the girl part in the game but the girl and the dog had to be remove due to the patreon rules but lucky that he did save it since Patreon told him that once the game is done and off the patreon page, he could add that back in as a extra DLC to his game but some of the things that he was trying to do and add to the game, was getting reported and had to be remove to keep Patreon Police Patrols unit happy

Unfortunatley it seems Patreon killed a truely great VN.

I hear good things about this game. Anyone have a link to the latest update? I'm not sure how far it got before it was abandoned.

the beta 15 is the latest it got and you pretty much go back home but sadly it has some nasty bugs that never got fixed before the father death got to Nverjos but yea that is the latest, I am still watching and hoping to see Nverjos to come back but any questions, please ask me or someone on here, I was one of Nverjos beta tester and spell checker before the project ended where it is now

 

[1800 Mr. Tourture]

why is it I only found this game AFTER it was abandoned?

LOL you not alone, I been with Nverjos since the start but sadly the Father Death was hard for Nverjos but a lot of poeple are founding the game but sadly it now going on a year and no reply, there are some other sites that the game is listed on but here and there there is log in showing but no update or reply for people asking how Nverjos is doing these days

I wouldn't say so. I was able to complete 0.15 Beta1(futa route) since begining till the end without any critical game-breaking bugs.

yea same here, I was one of Nverjos game testers but for some it seems that game bugs got them or they trying to do something in the game that not following a certain story line becuase they working like 2 ending and the way Nverjos had it set up was, you at the start chose which way you wanted to go and then work on it till the ending shows up but I do hope that Nverjos comes back soon since I would like to see the ending and I could have it show game completed on my game page channel

Mr.Dots had to (was forced to) abandon Patreon and basically go to his own site in order to complete Dating My Daughter. He has doner options like "buy me a cup of coffee" to help defer the funding. Unfortunately the lack of funds caused him to have to co-release the VN Melody that was Patreon friendly to keep a reliable revenue stream. In turn this has forced the abridgement of the original DMD plotline and a rather annoying update release schedule.
However if Nverjos is not concerned with money and the big issue was Patreon's police of vice and virtue maybe going rouge might be an option.
This is just too good a VN to let die or have to water it down into a naughty Disney princess story to comply with Patreon's bullshit.

I love when speculations become in facts.

I agree, there was another creator who I was following, who left Patreon BS and went to make their own game and use that Buy Me Coffee way to pay for the making of the game but finally had to do a another project to just get that game going but then again it the BS Rules of what is allowed and what is not and if Supporters are asking for it, oh well, they can wait till it off the Patreon Pages, as a Patreon admin put it one time for one of my creators

 

[RustyV]

Yeah I have read in other threads where it was claimed Patreon would allow a dev. to do a game make-over how the game was envisioned once it was off Patreon.
So nice of Patreon to give you permission to do what you want in the rest of your life.
But again I have NO idea why this great VN has not been updated.

 

[Snugglepuff]

Given the newest changes on Patreon... That's actually a lot closer to the truth than you think. They will now decide a Patreon account holder's "fate" based on their conduct outside of Patreon itself.
Not talking about doing anything illegal, but anything they decide they don't like. They've finally put it in writing, instead of just acting like that.

 

[RustyV]

Yeah there needs to be a Patreon alternative.
It seem Patreon just wants to drop adult content and is making life impossible for the devs in an attempt to drive them away.

 

[openSquadw4]

will be of this some ren'py version/port , such a shame to be abandoned this game have a lot of potential im sure of that .

 

[MenWenna]

WHY ITS NOT COME IM SOO SAAADDD

 

[Snugglepuff]

The bigger issue is the payment processors.
In Patreon's case, Paypal. Paypal didn't like "all that content" that could be used against its image, and this lead to the crackdown that forced changes on many porn games etc.

It's basically the same as when Tumblr had that massive crackdown on all pornographic content. Reports of controversial (in this case, underage/loli) content, and "snap", the pornographic content is gone.
The funny part was all the "marginalised people" who had "safe spaces" in those areas of Tumblr... I shit you not, this was an actual point raised against Tumblr's actions

 

[RustyV]

You are correct in pointing out the issue with the payment processors.
I approached my former IT guy with what it would take to start up Patreon alternative. He has helped develop numerous start up sites. From what he told me payment processors are a part of the issue. There is also the issue of sites like Tumbler and Patreon being firstly a business and they have to worry about what is good for their business.
Bottom line unless a dev starts his/her own site for their game content will continue to be censured. The dev of the game Date Ariane did this, but it doesn't seem like the dev is concerned with funding .
But going it alone reduces your ability to have your product known by the general public, obtaining revenue and you still have to deal with payment processors.

So yeah the open expression days of the internet are over. The open range has been fenced in.

Ultimately like the rest of the fans I hope this dev finds a way to continue this great VN as it was conceived so we can play out the game to its intended finale.

Enough with the Off topic chat?
