Ren'Py Abandoned What a Legend! [v0.6.04] [MagicNuts]

[Sotman]

I had almost forgotten about this game.
I feel a bit disappointed about the minimal progress. I hope the dev team picks up the pace soon.

I had almost forgotten about this game.

I find the abandoned tag hilarious and am not sure why people still give this amount of money to the devs. But after one thinks about it, giving money to a project you like because you want it to keep going is all right. I have a tendency of thinking these people are scamed but they clearly know how slow the devolopment is and yet they want to support it. So let them i say. The ones that give the money are happy, the ones that recieve it too. Yeah i do feel schadenfreude and check the comments sometimes to have fun, but again everyone in the transaction seems to be content with it

I mean the current update is almost finished. The only reason why this one took so long is because it's only two devs and they had a baby, so there was at least 7 months they werent able to work on the game

I am looking at the code line and I wonder what they mean with 142/157.
Are they talking about line of code?
Different prompts or so?
Anyway, Abandonen is a fitting tag for now.
Yes, they are putting up far they have gotten with the updates, but it is not enough. I just hope this will make them get done with this stupid Orc update.

Those figures are called 'tasks'. It's the dev's estimation of the amount of work needed to complete the update. There's more info in the FAQ section in the OP:

How do you count coding tasks?
We count a task for each of the events of the story that requires coding to make sure it works well in the structure and doesn't interfere with other quests, adding various elements such as sprites or expressions, new backgrounds with their corresponding buttons and animated images, adding cutscenes and those that have renpy-animated parts, new features (such as the shard in the bag), hints, notifications, bag items, event-related convos, alternative talks, optimizing images, sex scenes, etc.

I think if a game is marked abandoned, the thread should be locked and no updates posted.....then maybe this site won't go full retard all the time using the tag. LOL

 

[MorbidViews21]

lol these guys output is extremely slow for two full time workers. Abandoned tag is 100 percent justified. God damn slackers!

Patreon needs to tie payments to the frequency of updates, for example, the developer undertakes to release an update once a month, as long as the deadline is met, payments go out, as soon as the deadline is exceeded, payments are frozen. Otherwise they relax too much, summertime saga is the same scam.

Never tried to draw anything better than a stickman, have you?

talking about sketches, not drawings, there is a big difference you obviously aren't aware of

Patreon benefits have always been met. The game is free for all and its release is not tied to how much money you give the devs or how much money they earn. They publish their daily progress for free and offer a weekly, more detailed report to their patrons. Every single person who voluntarily decides to subscribe knows what to expect and can make their own choices fully informed, they even know how much money are getting those devs (unlike those interested in supporting the guy who has just posted above me, funnily enough). Calling something a scam doesn't make it one.

regarding that abandoned tag, something more automated would be better, like a tag that shows how much time, weeks or months have passed since last update, so it is immediately obvious, and also something that tracks how frequent the updates are in general to get an idea what is the trend with this or that dev

Yep. Very good idea, that would be perfect!

 

[G3RWANT]

hahaha I knew he was going to abandon it, cash collected and poured over the game hahahahah

 

[Xupuzulla]

The fact this actually got the Abandoned tag is crazy,the next update is so close too
Some people got their wish i guess

 

[Urpo]

I was wondering what is taking so long. But seeing how little they make from Patreon versus the quality, I would say they have made OK progress.

It's been two years and two peoples full time job, that's ok progress to you?

It will be two years at the end of July. You know how a calendar works ?
Please stop spreading FUD.

Should have put almost two years, regardless "its not two years its only 18 months" isn't the win you think it is.

But, you know, year have 12 months. 18 month isnt year nor two years... Its somewhere in middle. Maybe somewhere is word for it.

 

[B_st_cloud]

I meant it will most likely be two years for when the new update is on target for release, based on the discord it was at 90% in early December, if its 95 now. 3 months is a fair assessment to take the new update to June/ July . That's slow progress.

What "win" ? I'm too old for this kind of games.
Spare me another "witty" reply. Won't be seeing it.

Wait, the last update for this game was 2 years ago? No wonder it got the abandoned tag.

Is that right? 0.6 -> 0.7 takes 2 years? If that's true, who the hell is still subbing on Patreon?

No, it's not two years since the last update. Does nobody know how a calendar works anymore ?
2 years = 24 months, not 18.
Get your facts straight before you start spreading FUD.
