VN Ren'Py Abandoned Watching My Wife [v0.6.1] [Illegible Mink]

[GingerSweetGirl]

Fellas this is why you don't give money to a dev that has no proven track record. They have to at least have 1 completed game before considering giving them money

I totally get the frustration, but I think that standard is a bit too high. At least this game got to some action, so we can't be too mad. The wife got sex on multiple routes, including with a man that wasn't her husband. Sadly, that's better than most games.

Personally I think the better approach is to pull your support quickly. I don't think it's crazy to support a new dev (how many devs will ever complete their first game if they don't get support?), but you need to be realistic. Maybe you only give support when they have a new release, or you only support if they keep to a schedule. Normally there's plenty of red flags that a game's development is beginning to flounder, you just need to be honest with yourself. The killer is when people support a dev unconditionally.

I only give/start support after at least 6-7 updates have been put out to see how the DEV is doing AND to see where the story line is going

nothing new ?

Nope

Even if this is/remains abandoned by the developer, I just wanted to say, well done, and thank you. This share path story is what I've been looking to find. Well done, and thank you.

I find it frustrating how hard it is to get the wife to actually fuck another guy, especially considering how much of a slut she was growing up.
I appreciate she doesn't want to return to those sad dark times, but just take the dick woman!
You can tell how thirsty she is for a decent sized cock. She almost eloped with with the dildo ffs!
Shame this was abandoned, because it did present cool characters and situations.

Keeping the Spirit Alive: Remembering "Watching My Wife"
Have you ever had a favorite game that left you wanting more, only to discover that the creator abandoned it? Well, that's exactly what happened with "Watching My Wife," a game that I was the translator for into Spanish.
Unfortunately, the creator of the game decided to move on, which means we're left without updates and without knowing what could have been. But you know what? I don't want to sit around feeling sorry for myself. I want to do something about it! I've created an animation that captures the essence of "Watching My Wife."
It's my way of keeping the spirit of the game alive, even if official support is gone. Here's my animation. I hope it brings back memories and some ideas of what we would have liked to see from this bad girl.
Let's keep remembering WatchingMyWife!

Yes, but DEV took some paths really not understandable.

It is really a great regret that this game was abandoned and I would like to know what the reasons are in this case? This is usually insufficient support and burnout of the author.

He still uses this site but ignores this thread and anyone who messages him.

If it was me who bailed after having people supporting me and all I would at least try to make an effort to look dead. Like, create a new account? I guess if I didn't feel bad about it or such I probably wouldn't care. Still, wouldn't it be easier to just create a new account anyway?
Ah well.. people..

 

[BangB420]

Dev come back plz

If it were me and I were the developer, I'd make up an elaborate story. Be like:
"Hey guys, I was having a lot of fun making this game until my wife cheated on me IRL..."

There have been a number of good games abandoned lately. I wouldn't know where to even start creating something like this and realize it can be time consuming and difficult. Have to wonder if some devs get in over their heads or simply get burnt out. This game was just starting to get to the good parts and can only hope someone would take it and run with it.

A combination of both. They all think they have this really epic story to tell, one that's so gud it transcends porn. Then they end up writing themselves into a corner and can't finish the damn thing. And then there's greed. Developers who deliberately and intentionally waste our time with lots of "teasing" because they're trying to keep their Patreon going for as long as possible.

I do agree with much of what your saying. We have a number of games out here that have been going on for years now with virtually every update being just another drag through the mud tease with no real progress in the story line which would indicate some milking going on. I think one of the other problems that presents itself is too many choices and paths mostly to appease a group of people. For every choice and path an additional story line has to be created capable of tying into the main story. I would think at some point this would lead to frustration and eventual burn out causing some devs to just walk away.

Totally agree. Finishing a game means ending that revenue stream. I think it's more common with games that were clearly half-assed from the beginning but they managed to strike gold. They're afraid, and rightfully so, that they won't be able to replicate that success.

Agree it could be a combination of burn out, over your head, etc.
However, I'd imagine for many of these devs, this is a side gig, not their main job.
And well, real life stuff happens, especially with jobs, and you have to focus on that leaving little to no time for side gigs.
It'd be nice to communicate that, but then IRL stuff may not be that simple, could be something much worse, and who wants to say anything about that. You just shut down, go dark, and say screw everything else...idk
I have no clue what the real story is in this case, just saying there are numerous possibilities.

Either way, this is a pretty good one, still has potential if Dev or anyone else picked it back up.
The sharing/swinging path was very good. You didn't have to be a shit/wimp husband. And your wife didn't have to "hate" you to play around.

The love/respect stats made the other 2 paths rough without being a complete shit husband and wimp, but that WT mod cheat option made that easier to work around. I'd imagine those stat mechanics made the infidelity and cuckold paths problematic, and could be a reason to just throw your hands up and say screw it...idk The cuckold path would still work even with high love/respect (similar to the sharing/swinging path), just need something to get her to pull the trigger and go for it despite the high love/respect. I guess similar could happen on infidelity path, even with high love/respect, just need that trigger to make it an "open marriage" type thing.

Any way, still so much potential. But for an abandoned game, this is the best one I've come across in terms of story, content, and potential. Despite not being complete, it has a decent "soft ending" feel to it.
A few others are close, but not disappointed they're abandoned...
