UD was ok, but I never got into the story as much as I did AZL. Overall I thought he could have done more with both games, or at least finish one before trying to do two when you are actually doing content for both. At least one of these could have been done by now. Whatever though, at least he was open and consistent, not sure what the reason is he is stopping so I am sad to see these left unfinished.Haha, yeah that was me. Created the account just so I could post that! XD
I was never as big of a fan of AZL as I was UD, but I totally agree. And yes, I wish him the best of luck with whatever he has going on and maybe one day he'll return.
Icstor has a few games completed as well.So the only people who can actually finish a great game are Akabur and Gabe huh
*sigh*
I think it was because I got tired of the fact he wasn't answering ANY of the different ways I had tried to get in contact with him, so I started posting directly on his patreon page about things like bugs/errors I found in the code.@SmurfyBlue What were you banned for?
I do agree, he should've tried going one at a time instead of working on 2 projects at the same time.UD was ok, but I never got into the story as much as I did AZL.

That is indeed what Nergal is saying. So that's what we're hoping for.The final update is on August 25th right?
Incest adv. completed but how did it end? MC fucked everyone at the end write "the end". There was no story, there was no end. Robo something like that either. I didnt play milf control. It had a story may be had a real end.Icstor has a few games completed as well.
Both Incest Story and MILF Control from Icstor are marked as complete. Whether or not you like them isn't a factor of what is complete and what isn't.Incest adv. completed but how did it end?

Few patreon finished his game. I dont count icstor one of them. Tons of patreon games are in this forum. How many of them finished? 0.7 0.4 0.8 and lots of 0.1... Im happy to be pirate.:FeelsGoodMan:
I like icstor game but it doesnt mean that game has a good story or real ends. Good cg-char and good fantasy. In my opinion they didnt complete.
Just wanted to clear a few things up, about my last post based on some of the comments I have read.
Why don't you close your patreon, if you're REALLY leaving (scammer)?
My patreon will remain open for one reason, and that's to stop someone else from stealing the url. Someone could then potentially scam people, by stealing the url and pretend to be me "returning". I wanted to switch to the pay per release scheme (to ensure no one gets charged), but once you've set up pay on pledge, you can't undo it (and can't change payment scheme.)
So I'll be offering a refund to anyone who pledges next month (and beyond). I don't want people's hard earned money coming to me, when I'm not creating the content they expect.
But what if you DO return, how will I know?
I very much doubt I will any time soon. But if I do, just follow this patreon account instead of pledging, I believe you get the same updates.
What of A Zombie's Life 1.0? Will you release it?
I'll try get a more finalised version done by the end of this weekend. However it won't be in a state I would have wanted. I'll make this version available to public.
What about Urban Demons 0.8? Will that be public?
It will follow the usual method. 2 weeks after the beta release, I'll set the post to public.
When should I cancel my pledge?
Cancel it whenever, you should still have access to the post I will put up on Friday even if you cancel the pledge now.
What if we want to keep pledging to you?
Please don't.
But you make SO MUCH MONEY how can you walk away from that?
This has never, at any point, been my job. And I personally don't make that much money, the patreon makes that money. My take after everything is very small, not enough to actually live on (where I live at least). To get an idea of how much I've taken away, look at my "1 Year post" .
This seems so sudden, just a minute ago you were planning other things for UD/AZL/Future Project, is this just a whim?
Some things in life can happen very suddenly and they can be very life changing.
So you're leaving because of X/Y/Z?
No. You don't know the reason I'm leaving and I will keep it that way. It's private, but know I wouldn't be leaving if it weren't important and required the majority of my attention in my spare time.
I think putting "personal issues" was a mistake on my part, poor choice of words that made people jump to some conclusions. I think the word "private" would have been more apt than "personal".
How can you let your Patrons down?
No one feels worse about that than me I assure you.
I want to mod your game, can I?
Yes. I will be releasing unencrypted versions of both games, so people can patch/mod as they please. (Yes, even you SmurfyBlue.)
Can I take over the creation of A Zombie's Life/ Urban Demons?
I will not be officially endorsing anyone taking over these projects, however I can't (nor will I try to) stop anyone from doing so unofficially. But the only place for official work will be here, if I return.
You're Wootch aren't you? Just admit it already!
No. If I was Wootch, I'd just take your money without pre-warning. Without this post. Without any communication what so ever. Also, if I was Wootch, do you think we'd be on the 0.8 build, just from the start of the year? Don't be an idiot.
Anyway, I think that answers most of the common questions I seen. But the majority of comments I have seen have been well wishes and gratitude, and I am overwhelmed by the majority of support I have received, and I really appreciate it. Thank you all again.

Ahh @SmurfyBlue he mentioned you .From Nergal's most recent post
Oh, can't argue with the quality. The animations were well done, and the coding, overall, was better than I would have expected so I give him props for keeping two going. Yet, we could have had one done and another well on its way if he kept on the original trajectory. Though I think its more of the Patreon system where there might be some peer pressure to release more to those who pledge more, or provide more varied games as a bonus. I see it too much to think its just a coincidence that we end up with multiple games at some point.I do agree, he should've tried going one at a time instead of working on 2 projects at the same time.
But on the other hand, it was still quality for the most part when it came to both projects.
Also, technically AZL is finished. If you check the Trello you can see that he was only fixing/fine-tuning things.
Are you sure about that? For me the Trello shows that there are still six items in the 'Art Required' column.Also, technically AZL is finished. If you check the Trello you can see that he was only fixing/fine-tuning things.
