Ren'Py Abandoned What a Legend! [v0.6.02] [MagicNuts]

[hoshimota]

I love the gameplay, the art, the humor and the story of this game. I hope that development can soon sort out whatever has led them to what seems like a halt for the past three months 2 fucking years. There has not been much change according to the progress meter.

they can just hire someone for a month or 2 just to fix the code or whatever they are struggling with, and they will be able to make the lost profit back quickly.

Or they could just keep grifting like we all would in the same situation.

Never thought I'd see the day.... that Waifu doesn't have an abandoned tag but this does.

 

[DemiMaximoff]

the updates merely teleporting people to locations for 1 or 2 scenes instead of them being fleshed out places to properly visit killed the map.

That is an interesting fresh insight, but I can't think of many instances of this happening off the top of my head

I always love to stumble on threads like this, game tagged as abandoned but making an absolute bank on patreon, you know its gonna be a fun read

 

[Milky Cow]

I absolutely love the overall mood of this game. Too bad it seems not updated more frequently.

Look up the Mythical Man Month, to see why just adding people to a software project doesn't make it go faster.

"software project" bro it's a renpy game, if the dev is so inept at coding he has to spend months debugging that, he should absolutely hire somebody who knows what they're doing

Not denying that the delays seem suspicious, and their skills need improvement, but just putting people onto a project/hobby/whatever doesn't necessarily make it faster. Thanks for missing the main point.

Nice but you should include other stuff like debug for example as it's the one that raises the cap the most each time to give the full picture.

Doing god's work here. I believe if you collect the data for the last 2 years and plot a graph it will be a perfect 1/x asymptote.
Is there proof this dev is from Spain or has he become a royal from Nigeria?

A RENPY GAME BTW!

I'm totally with you, but consider this. If you could make potentially 2 thousand dollars a day busting your ass or 1 thousand a day doing nothing, which would you choose? For a lot of people, the latter is good enough.

they could be making f*ck you money if they did updates like before every few months or so. If they had other people helping it wouldn't even make a difference. But they seem determined not to. With the art this could be the biggest game in the genre but they don't want it

Damn...

No they couldn't. In 2024 there's a limit to how successful a project like "What A Legend!" can be. Even the most successful games on the site would not be able to replicate their original success if their successful projects were started from scratch today. It has long since been proven that regular updates don't encourage more subscriptions.
