VN Ren'Py Abandoned The Family Secret [Ep. 2 v0.1.2.2p] [Aorrta]

[tony95]

His original release date was last October!
Then he went missing!
Appeared again in February, I think, with a new release date of March 15th.
After missing that date as well, said he needed time to fix some bugs.
Here we are a month later

So, there's two lines of thought:
1. Scam
2. Incompetence.

I lean towards the 2nd option.

I just don't understand why he couldn't do it slowly version by version. Starting with a short start of the story and a playable system, he can easily get much more patreons because of the world class rendering.
He is just such an talented but complicated asshole.

He had some top notch renders. Now they're just very good considering that other dev's have moved past him. They're still high quality renders just nowhere near the bar that he set/was part of setting.

On the other hand, this also assumes he knows how to do other things like talk....

Mary is still one of the best MILFS. In the top 3 easily.

Nah

 

[incestdude]

Mary is still one of the best MILFS. In the top 3 easily.

Yes

 

[Darth Bane]

We can still be critical of Aorrta's work ethic and admit Mary is top tier! Mary is definitely top 3! That's why so many people are mad at him. He had a golden ticket! And he dropped the ball!

Wait so is he working on The Family Secret Reloaded or not?

Unlikely. At this point the odds are that Aorrta is a deliberate scammer.

smh man so much potential and greatness. such a shame. If he does make that comeback and it's strong, he could restore the hope and support he had once rallied.

Wait if he appeared in February how is it abandoned, I thought the rules was like 3 months no contact?

He's missed so many release dates and disappeared so many times that they've made an exception for him.

Well that's unfortunate but ultimately necessay

It'd be too easy for creators to release a few versions then keep patrons hooked for months or even longer just by stating "yeah! Still working on it!" It also doesn't help that some people never check their patreon or pay attention to their donations


Obligatory reminder to people that Irredeemable (dev to the now infamously abandoned game Teacher's Pets) is still getting about $258 a month according to his patreon page despite no posts in over 14 months

Which is about 50% more than Aorrta is getting. Ah, Deem...

Yeah, would like to see a new game thread too with that little tidbit information about how The Secret Reloaded was a remake of The Secret.

Hopefully (with emphasis on HOPE), the secret reloaded has content and story beyond the current version Episode 2 v01222p with how long this re-visioning is taking.

looked through console wiki, but dont know how to active skipping if it is not in the game, maybe im using the wrong name for it?
the normal fast forward skipping most renpy games have, can i force it with console or if dev not added it then it will not be possible?, I cant click this much this game require
