VN Ren'Py Abandoned We Were Just Kids [v0.3b] [MissFortune]

[tannerjd2007]

I've tried out both We Were Just Kids and Move The Chains.

And I got very interested in the plot and characters of WWJK, and really want to see what happens next.

Meanwhile, I just couldn't get into MTC. I dunno why. Maybe it's because I have no interest in football, but I also didn't find the characters as appealing. I think the fact WWJK has two protagonists, plus a few side characters we get glimpses into, is another plus (I'm a sucker for multiple protagonist narratives). MTC has only one protagonist, and the story seems to be solely about him.

I accept that MTC is currently the money maker, but I'm still gonna be chugging the hopium that WWJK makes a comeback someday. Maybe when MTC is finished.

When MTC is finished? LOL

That's not really how life works man. If a dev just isn't getting the financial support the game just won't happen. That's how it goes. People gotta eat.

Seems like you are the one here who really gets it of the entire bunch. These games are expensive to make and take a lot of time.
If you have a regular job, it is exhausting to make even a simple game.
Now I would like to address a few other comments on this thread.
Without even knowing anything about this game, lets clear up some misconceptions and state the OBVIOUS.
The first game from this dev. Playing Judas. Why was it abandoned? Basically it was an ancient game with terrible graphics. Why continue?
The second game. We Were Just Kids. Just look at the title.
Can you figure out why this game is a problem? This is why it is not even mentioned on his Patreon.
He would get shut down on the first day. You can NEVER be reinstated without many headaches.
As always my disclaimer... your opinion may vary.

It's not about kids.

Patreon doesn't bother about titles, it's about content and they are all quite a bit older than kids.

How are you going to clear up anything without playing the game and knowing what you are talking about.

What you are stating is an opinion which clears up nothing.

Seems like you are the one here who really gets it of the entire bunch.

Seems like you are another that doesn't get it but i'm not shocked after reading your post.

The more games a dev drops and starts the less chance they have of building a player base. It doesn't matter how expensive they are to make or any other excuse anyone can think of. The simple fact of the matter is players will not trust that dev.

There are already less people backing new devs because of how many games are getting abandoned. A lot of people here have no interest in backing a dev that can't finish what they started.

I deal with around 28 developers by helping them with there games in many different ways. That does not make me an expert by any means. I am also not defending this developer in any way.
I am just trying to point out that some things that are happening with a game are not at all obvious if you are not involved in the development yourself. Not necessary this game.
I do not know what dealings you have had with Patreon or how they are also influenced by PayPal as well. PayPal looks at everything including discord. There are many things out there that are never mentioned on this site but happen all the time concerning Patreon and how they mess with developers of "adult" games.
I also have no idea what involvement you have had in direct game development. I can only go by my own direct experience and how many hours I have put in while helping to make games.
I know in the past you seem to know what you are talking about so I will not take this personally.
