Unity Abandoned Timestamps: Lost Love [R11 PE P1] [Motkeyz]

[Just Jericho]

Aesouh should be fired/replaced loooong time ago. Motkeyz seems to not care imo.

You should really read the thread a little bit before you make stupid comments like that, dude. This was from just 2 pages before this page. It took me the whole of 10~15 seconds skimming to find it.

If you're still too smoothbrained to read the dev's post, then here's the short version: Aesouh is dealing with personal issues more important than TimeStamps. It's built with his own proprietary engine and he's the only one who can finish the coding. Motkeys is waiting patiently just the same as everyone else who isn't a whining bitch.

Of course he's not the only one who can finish it, it's a Unity game. They could easily hire a freelancer that'd be done in a week or less, whatever the stage of the update.

The problem is that said freelancer would have to be paid and I assume neither of the two wants to part with their money, so here we are.

Haha, right, all that money they have, from their grey-market incest porn game that maybe five percent of the audience has ever paid a dime for.

Not quite.
It's made in VNgine, which whilst it is a Unity derived engine is also an engine made by Aesouh himself.

It's only been used on the Timestamps games, under the purview of Aesouh only as the coder for both VNgine and both Timestamps installments.

I thought the whole point of having a proprietary game engine was licensing fees from other developers who wanted to use it. I suppose Aesouh must be some sort of auteur perfectionist who insists on crafting his own tools?

But if his motive isn't profit, then why is it proprietary at all?

No clue.
Possibly pride/ego/bragging rights. Hell, could even be about control.

Whatever the reason, it's gotten in the way of the game's continued development in the worst way.

Last news from Motkeyz on discord to a question about :

@Motkeyz are you still in contact with Aesouth or has he gone silent?

Motkeyz — 18/12/2024 22:16
I'm still in contact... is he reactive as much as I wish, sadly NO. He is still having personal problems right now and it may be more difficult than we thought dealing with all this. But he told me he is mostly done.

 

[Fappable One]

Hopefully Aesouth can wrap this up before 2025. Start the year on a high note...hopefully

 

[Pantanamera12]

Best Whishes to Aesouth to get fixed his Problems. Take your Time Buddy, i know Real Life can be harder than Iron. Perhaps the next Year will be better, i hope it for us all!

Think people are making a lot of excuses for the sake of hope. These developers should be ashamed of the shit show they caused and continue to perpetuate.
And before people tell me to have empathy do some research on the bullshit these guys pulled for almost a year. One word, unacceptable (no matter how you look at it)

Feel free to not visit this thread because anyway, everything you post is always to put some oil in the fire. I don't know what you gain doing this but you seem to take lot of pleasure out if it !

 

[Motkeyz]

At this point I'm pretty sure that they are the same person and he's just taking people for a ride lol.

Another brilliant post that lead to make people angry, WHY?? Some person will believe this. Look guys, I'm talking to myslef, every fucking days!

It's an adult visual novel for fucks sake, it's not the end of the world. The obsession over these just blows my mind.

I deleted my last post cause I am dumbfounded how you get pissed at criticism. Get some tougher skin.

How many times have you told people Aesouh is close to finishing and say he is weeks away. It’s become a running joke.

Some actually don't understand how some type of criticism may affect people. What is the point anyway, do you really think that saying this can change something positively? I will never be the case! The only thing it is doing is getting some Dev demotivated, never the inverse!

When I mention Aesouh is almost done, it is because he said it to me that he is almost done. What can I do more, I do not code this engine and I cannot do it for him. I said that many times already and I explained the whole situation, so if you keep calling it a joke, for me it is not a funny joke at all. Imagine how I feel after saying it is soon be available to my supporter and it didn't show up as it was suppose to be? Don't you think it get me even more frustrated when someone mention about it. Sadly Timestamps will be complete when Aesouh is alright and ready to deliver it.

Trust me I would prefer to have it sold on Steam than waiting for it!

 

[NoX Productions]

Well personally don't mind waiting because its a great game and worth waiting. Snags do happen in game development, its a process. And in the meantime plenty games out there i can play. As you can see by my sig i tend to play games that take a long time to develop so i don't mind as long as there is a quality update with a decent amount of content at the end. My only concern is that it doesn't get axed now that it is almost done. Its never fun picking up a VN and then having it be abandoned for whatever reason. So hopefully that doesn't happen with this one because this is one of my favorites

Please tell me the new game isn't in VNGine as well.

 

[RandomAccountHere15]

Please tell me the new game isn't in VNGine as well.

It's in Renpy and it's already had an initial release. The name is Alternate Worlds

Oh, darling... And how many dimes have you paid for this game? I think hypocrites like you should be ashamed of the damage they cause and continue to perpetuate until their bowels prolapse and they turn inside out to reveal what they really are: complete assholes.

In all fairness, he was a patron previously.
$60 at least a couple of times.

well that changes things, good for him to move on from something he doesnt enjoy/isnt trusting anymore.
