Ren'Py The Last Oasis before Chastity [v1.86] [MissLizzyAnthus]

[FuhQ6969]

The dev made a post on SS a like a week ago. Here is what it says:


Hey everyone.



So, first of all, sorry for the silence, it's not because I stopped working on the game. Quite the opposite, actually. I’ve been so deep into it that I forgot everything else.



Back in May, the new generation of graphics cards came out: the RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell, with a whopping 96GB of VRAM, compared to the 24GB I had before. That completely changed the game for me. I’ve done more renders over the past two months than I did from January to May 2025, because back then, I was basically rendering black images and constantly fighting to optimize.



For example, when I had a scene with several characters, I had to render it multiple times: first with only one character fully textured, the other two appearing completely white, without hair or details, just to save on resources. Then I’d redo the render with textures on the second character, and again for the third. I’d finally stack the three renders to get one proper image. It was a nightmare, some images took over 6 hours each, so doing them three times meant 18 hours per shot. Completely unsustainable.



As for the graphics card itself, yes, it's amazing (but useless for gaming lol). But there’s a huge downside. It cost around $9,000 after conversion. I didn’t have enough to cover it, especially after taxes hit, which is normal, but it hurt. I ended up taking out a $4,000 loan. And yeah, I’m scared. I’m not making much right now. I’m still ending each month around $700 in the red. Luckily, I have a few months before I need to start paying back the loan. It was a gamble, and I took it. I don’t regret it, it opened doors I never had access to before, and the workflow boost is insane. But I’m nervous. Honestly, if you weren’t still here supporting me, I’d be in serious trouble. So thank you, truly.



Anyway, the demo is almost done. I’ll need to redo a lot of the images, but I’ll tackle that later. So when you play it, keep in mind that many visuals will be improved in the final version, better expressions, better poses. Nothing too bad, but the overall experience will definitely benefit from the updates. Still, for now, it’ll do.



The demo should be out around October on Steam. But if you’re supporting me on Subscribestar, just send me a DM and I’ll gladly send you the demo directly. I’m not putting it up for open download, but I’ll try to pin this post so anyone who wants to test it can reach out.



I’d love to hear your feedback, just remember, this is story content only. No adult scenes yet. I’m working on them, and they’ll be tied to the desert setting I’ve mentioned before. As planned, there will be a scene inside an alien spaceship and another one with a mermaid. We voted on that, and technically the aliens won... but I wanted to do both, so you’ll get both. These will be coming in the next few weeks.



As for the alien spaceship scene, honestly, I’ve been stuck on it for a while. It’s not something I personally wanted to include at first, but a few people specifically asked for certain things to be in it. And… well, let’s just say I’m not super comfortable with those requests. I’ve been going back and forth in my head, trying to find a way to make it work. I really want to do it right, or not at all.

So, in the next few days, I’ll post a poll and ask for your opinion. Because I’m genuinely blocked. I want to please the people who made the request, but at the same time, I need to feel good about what I’m putting in the game. I’ll explain everything in more detail soon, there’s no point getting into it right now, but yeah, just know that’s what’s holding things up for that part.

So yeah, the demo isn’t quite ready yet. I still need to add sound, a bit more writing, and some code. Nanar’s handling the coding part and he’s fast, so that won’t be a problem.



As soon as it’s finished, I’ll make another post (hopefully pinned) where you can DM me to get the build and share your thoughts.



Just one thing I ask from you, please don’t share it. If it leaks, it could completely ruin my Steam launch and hurt me badly. So I’m really counting on your discretion.



That’s it for now. Thanks again for sticking with me.

Too late now but prob could have just bought $9000 worth of crypto 5% low and sold it 5% high and made more money and assumed less risk. Thanks to Collective Karen it's just not profitable at all anymore for 99.9% of porn makers (5000 in the past year didn't even make their $100 listing fee on Steam back, and that includes just normal games with no restrictions) and won't be too much longer before all porn that's not funded via crypto is banned as it's naive to assume the angry prudes will stop at just certain kinks.

And sounds like a rework that's back to the demo stage = never popular, no matter how much an improvement the rework is. Could have just carried on with what was already made, it doesn't need to be whatever constitutes perfection in whoever's head. What was already made was plenty good enough and could have saved $9k. Obviously 24GB and sometimes even less is enough for most AVN devs and they do fine by simply scaling back the details as needed that most will not pay that much attention to anyway, esp when it's not part of a fap scene. I just hope he didn't borrow from Cousin Vinny that will break his legs if he's late on repaying the loan.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for not giving any updates, that’s not nice, but rest assured I’m alive and still 100% focused on the game, 7 days a week, at least 12 hours a day.
Even though I’m currently dealing with thyroid problems that make me tired, I’m holding on.
Game news
In the next few days I’ll try to submit the demo to Steam, and if it’s accepted the game should be playable in October.
You probably also know that Steam has tightened its rules, so it’s not certain that I’ll be able to add the game there, even though I hope so with all my heart.
Especially since apparently early access seems to be no longer allowed for AVNs, which changes everything. You won’t see games priced around $15 that evolve over the years anymore.
Most likely, AVN games will be sold cheaper at first, but most devs will sell updates separately either one update = one new game, or as DLC.
I decided to add a last-minute scene, it’s a shower scene and might involve one character you know well.
As you can see, the animation takes a long time to render. For 16 frames, 12 hours have already passed, and there are 96 in total (and 4 animations in total or 5 if I have time to make them).
The render is very slow because there’s water on the character’s skin, which increases the render time a lot.



Do you recognize her? I think Lyzech does!

Interface

UncleNanard has been working hard on the game’s interface, and I just saw the choice menu (the menu that appears when you have to make a decision in the game).
He spent a week on it, and I think it’s fantastic.
The interface has evolved a lot compared to the version you’re familiar with.

Real life

Things are still just as tough. I haven’t started looking for a job yet, which means that in a month I’ll have a one-year gap on my résumé.
Since I work in a pretty competitive field, I don’t see how I’ll be able to justify it or bounce back… I’ll probably have to switch careers if I go back to working.
As you may also know, Itch.io decided to demonetize and dereference adult games. Only free games are visible now, which obviously doesn’t bring in any income.
Times are hard, I’m only living on Subscribestar and unemployment benefits. And I’m getting around $293 from Subscribestar...
(from which I still have to deduct taxes, Subscribestar’s share, the payment processor fees, and the currency conversion fees )
On top of that, my dog was sick and I had to spend $600 at the vet. Fortunately, I was able to pay in installments. The bad news is that now he has a medication that costs $65 a month…
(By the way, if anyone here is a veterinarian, I’d have lots of questions for you haha)
Thank you ❤
All this to say: thank you for being here, because without you things would be even harder.
PS
I need to make another post in the next few days because a 3D plugin just came out and it’s a real REVOLUTION.
I have to explain it to you, it’s incredible.

The post sounds good until you realize it was posted on September 16, 2025. It is now November 5, 2025. Nothing seems to be happening with this game. A post every 1½ months (or more) is not giving much confidence. The same has been going on for a very long time. In the current environment for games, things do not look good for this one at all.

Let's see... this is all I could share. I subscribed to see if he had any subscriber-only topics on Discord, and there aren't any... he should come back when he needs to, as he has done before...

The math here isn't mathing...

The dev posts about getting a $9000 graphics card (RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell) a few months before this post, and a few months after the dev laments a $65 per month medication cost for the dog?

I thought there was a post here somewhere about him not having a job also he only has 26 paid subscribers on SubscribeStar and not high tiers 417 on free tier

Have you already tried buying the tier 5 on Patreon?

Well Dah. Did you then enjoy watching

umm no i just downloaded the version present here, is there any download link for game with vip content unlocked ?

No

Of all the games that have been marked "Abandoned" why is this one still not a year since the last update?

 

[wookie ookie]

Of all the games that have been marked "Abandoned" why is this one still not a year since the last update?

Because it has to be 18 months with no update or 3 months without active post on another site

 

[Merlin-Magic]

An active post somewhere does not mean the game is continuing. A post promoting another game can keep the dev on Patreon. That MAY even stop the "Abandoned" tag. But it does not mean the developer is doing anything with the game. There are many tricks that have been used in the past, if no one is watching closely.

Correct: I should have added that posting status of updates or wallpapers at lease every 3 months will keep the abandoned tags off till there is no update for 18 months here on 95
