Mod Ren'Py Abandoned Time For Dragons - Defiler Wings: Deranged Dragon Mod [29-07-2020] [Jman]

[k64]

It's okay, I understand the desire to be helpful and normally I'd laud you for helping. It's just that it's really not helpful for my peace of mind right now.

If you want the public mod back, the best way is to leave it alone for a while and send some positive emotions my way occasionally. Then I might get some motivation back, round out the WIP version, find another place to host it and direct people there.

Edit: Or make your own mod off of DDM and make a thread for it. /edit

Unfortunately, so far the positive messages I have gotten since have been outweighed by the negatives.

Another lurker here. You didn't ask for advice, so feel free to ignore it, but here's my .02:
1. People come here to get content. Other than some longstanding members who have formed friendships, anyone helping someone get content is "on their side" and anyone blocking them from getting content is "against them". People don't think super deep and psych profile everyone they interact with, they just react depending on if the person is currently helping or hindering them. Downside: humans aren't very empathetic. Upside: it's not personal.
2. You'd probably have a much easier time getting cooperation from people if it was for a set time period. "Don't post this for 6 months" is a lot more manageable for people than "Don't post this". People can wait and play other games, and honestly, half of them will forget to come back, but waiting indefinitely feels like they're losing something right now.

I appreciate the intentions behind this post but, honestly, it's not helping me any.

...anyone helping someone get content is "on their side" and anyone blocking them from getting content is "against them".

Which is a relatively stupid stance to take with the author since they are the source of the content. Yeah, I know, people are bad at long-term planning.

Unfortunately, that would defeat the purpose behind the removal, which is for my own peace of mind. As you can see, the mod's been dead for nearly half a year and I'm still watching it.

I have also explicitly said that if you get another player to share, I'm okay with it as long as I don't see any of it. I'll even share the download myself if you're a known veteran player, someone I'm on good terms with, or get one of these people to vouch for you.

Apparently, people are sharing, I'm in blissful ignorance, provide the occasional re-download to old-time players with new computers or whatnot, and all is well. I even feel a little enthusiasm returning from some of these DMs. Until the next guy comes over and says "But of course we must repost! Yes, here, in this very thread with the dead dragon pic underscored with 'Please don't repost."

...waiting indefinitely feels like they're losing something right now.

Making the creator give up for good means they are definitely losing something. There's even picture evidence in the thread of several of those somethings.

And, well, unless they already have (played) the mod, how do they even know they want it so badly that they're willing to drive the modder up and over the wall just to get their hands on it now? F95 has a lot of games, many far more suitable for most people's tastes, even those who are looking for dragon or management games in particular. There's no dearth of stuff to play. If they can't find any themselves, there's always the 'Recommendations & Identification' subforum.

Not to mention the problem poster before (or right after) LewdNayshin - who, to his credit, was just inattentive and not ill-intentioned - already had the mod.

someone summoned me?

Hey man, i dont want to lose my dragons , its been 3 times i've changed PC's due to moving in and out of cities for work, not that i havent played any other dragon management games, but this is the best of 'em all imo, hell i saved this game on my USB drive that i use for work & college and make it hidden so no one knows about it and i dont have to redownload it over and over again

Of course not.

My brother in christ, I played the android version of the original game years ago and really liked it, to the point of wanting to play the game again today and finding out about this mod (which seems really good), but reading through the comments it's clear that it didn't do much good for your mental health. Can't you delete this thread to stop people from pestering you? Maybe ask someone else to recreate it without a download link and your name on it idk so no one bother you.

 

[Jman9]

Can't you delete this thread to stop people from pestering you?

No. I might be able to ask the mods to lock the thread, but I'm loathe to invoke them, because they're a very mixed bag and have a history of being completely petty narcissists at times. No idea what they will actually do.

Maybe ask someone else to recreate it without a download link and your name on it idk so no one bother you.

Won't work. I'll still know about it, and probably go looking at some point.

I also have no issues with polite and sympathetic people 'bothering' me, in public or via DMs. Even non-sympathetic ones with a good argument. Sadly, this is not everyone here.

 

[Fareeya_Snow]

Could someone DM me a link for this too, please?

 

[Deleted member 1515698]

I just found these series of games and this mod via search and actually suprised as in why would something like this could have happened as it's a first for me to see something like this where one willingly kills their umm... creation(mod)?

I can only hope that one day maybe you change your mind and share it again perhaps (or someone to dm me a link like everyone here) lmao.

 

[Deleted member 1515698]

I guess I need to reiterate:

• The mod is dead for the time being. It might get resurrected, it might not.
• Getting the last version from me requires that I'm in a good mood and you're a veteran player of the mod or have one to act as an intermediary who will bounce your questions, rage, etc before they manifest here.
• Getting it from someone else might work. But the mod is sizeable, and any blowback that bleeds over here will heavily reduce the chances that it will be me who will resume the mod.
• Any further public versions will not be on F95 if I can help it.

Just found out this game and it feels like I missed the train...

 

[caju]

30 out of the last 35 people to ask for copies of this game have a total of 0 comments collectively

 

[1953598523]

People find the game, they like it, then they look for a sequel, they find this mod, they want to download it, and then difficulties arise. None of the stages before this required leaving comments.

I do not share the position of the author of the mod regarding the removal of links (the Internet remembers everything), but this is his right as an author.

 

[minicarmine]

Someone can share the game please?

 

[Razor1911]

Bro you modded the game in your free times so progress being slow not gonna affect anyone, maybe you feel burnt out?
Being frank usually mistake to be rude or an asshole (people are dumb), just ignore them trolls or troll them back its better for your mental heath.
Most mods ive seen are pretty lass n chill, some are bias and delete post that not even violated the rules (power corrupt). I got some my post about DRM piracy removed because some snowflake dev cried to the mods to nuke their thread so not just you had bad experience.
Sad to see the mod died and i understand why you took your mod down , wish you still left it there for people to download it tho.

Anyway good luck on your next project or anything you working on .

 

[Makersmarch]

It's a mod, we understand it doesn't have to be perfect. I just found this mod and was excited to try it out if you change you're mind I'll be here for it!

 

[abeceda]

Hello
It is possible for someone to sent me message with means to get of hold of this mod?
Thanks

 

[proxyx13]

I remember playing the original game few years ago and just stumbeled on the new one and this mod. Any chance someone could share so I can try it? Thanks in advance.
