Ren'Py Abandoned The Red Room [v0.5b] [Alishia]

[Avaron1974]

I checked the Exif data, they are new renders. So that's good, the Dev is making new content again and their content is very high quality and always has been. Let's just hope they stick to it this time. Will be a very long time and need to see a ton of content actually released before I even think of resubbing though, let's hope they prove me wrong.

I think that's the main problem some people are having, the amount of new content.

130 images after this much of a delay is unnaceptable regardless of how you look at it. I see people making monthly updates that have between 150 and 300 renders so for this time i'd be expecting at least 5 times what we got.

I just don't think for a game that's been 4 years in development, it's anywhere near where it should be.

They have the ability and the work is high quality but it's bare minimum.

Before I ever think of giving them money i'd need to see a LOT more than what they do. Sadly I don't think they are capable of proving me wrong.

It says a lot about a dev when they could have an absolute hit on their hands bringing in far more income than they do but would rather release the absolute basic to keep it going and bring in a fraction.

Like I said, I won't say if it's a scam or not but I will say they are probably the laziest des i've seen come through here.

All of you don't really need to twist that knife deeper without even seeing what I had to say for myself.

Yes, I know, it's been 2 years. No, it wasn't because of "patron drop-off", it was my shitty work ethic. My level of donations was stagnant for a half of year and if you think I just want some barebone income - well, I had it. Yes, there is no excuse for that amount of time spend on this update and I know it well. No, making ~150 images per 2-3 weeks is just impossible with my working pipeline. Slow work process - better results. Yes, it's still isn't worth 2 years and I know it. And I shouldn't care least I want to get depressed looking at all of this.

We will see what the future holds for the game. I can't bring anything to the table that will make you trust me. But I'm still positive. You can pirate it all you want - I never cared, so why should you.

 

[ALISHIA]

I'm probably stupid, but I don't understand how to access the laundry room

Yeah, I know it is not really a best way of implementing the location, many of you seem to struggle with finding it.
It's in a corridor with mc's door. Around bathroom. Sorry for that.

Yes, we know you never cared, this shows in the update as well.

yes I found it immediately after asking the question and tried to delete the comment but too late

That's a cruel thing to say. I refrain from answering here for now.

last question, have the photos to be found around the map been removed?

 

[Slvh]

Smart choice. As cruel as it might be for me to say this, you will be getting next to no pity here. While it's true that you acknowledged your absence and your work ethics or lack thereof, it doesn't mean that people will be interested in the least to hold you in any high regard or hope that you've changed. Best way for that to happen is for you to not check this thread for a good while, while you pump out your updates and prove that you've changed. If that doesn't happen, well that just means that they were right.
As I've said, I personally have a tiny bit of hope since this came back from the Abandoned tag, but I'll certainly be waiting for a good while before trying this game or even thinking of supporting your Patreon. Good luck.

 

[YameteKudasai69]

Hooolyyyy a new update, i really hope this game is back and will continue the updating, fingers crossed.

 

[DawnCry]

Well personally to be a bit positive I really like the game, especially the visuals and it always had potential to be a great game, overall it's true that people (including me) are really disappointed with the updates of the game, on this point you will get bad feedback until people notice a true change on that aspect.

It's unavoidable that people are gonna be skeptical about the return of this game, even more because many of them loved this game and it is quite high quality, but that's about it.

"Like I said, I won't say if it's a scam or not but" .
Mild as ever.
You're thinking and knowing for sure : it's a scam!

 

[Ttyrant]

Very happy to see the game is still alive.
For developer, thanks for coming back. You created a beautiful game, good job.
Do your thing at your own pace.

 

[Dukez]

> It still doesn't have a save complatibility with previous updates for now

How is this still a thing? That's a pretty big feature to STILL be broken. Wtf is the dev doing?

 

[Yougiblack]

any god damn walkthrough Idk how to access shit

 

[Vinyard]

This is one of the first games I played on this site. Glad it's back. To the dev: Most players are very forgiving and the demands for their support aren't impossible, just power through it and good luck. Customer faith goes a long way.

 

[dersp]

It's ALIVE. Nice. 0.5 soon for sure.
