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

[shazba jnr]

Don't take it as an insult but this is just re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. The fact of the matter is that the numbers might as well be made up (and probably are) given that we have no tangible proof that any progress has been made.

Also, to the people making the excel docs and animations of the fake progress. I like the gumption but you guys are putting more work in to this than the dev is in to the game. If you are enjoying yourself then have fun but don't get worked, it's not worth your time.

I literally grabbed a handful of screenshots over the last few pages and appended them to the last gif. Looking at the timestamps on the files I saved, it took 4 minutes, so no skin off my nose for a laugh.

But I personally don't think the devs are completely bullshitting everyone. They did work for two years since 2020 and create a solid little game here, and even if the last two years haven't been at the same capacity, I don't see why they wouldn't finish this release, I mean, they have the skills to do it, so why not?

If they have been bullshitting all along, they've kinda painted themselves into a corner by pretending they've done everything and are now just doing the final touches, I mean, if I were lying about this shit, I'd make it look like I was deep into the thick of it, not on the tail end, otherwise, after another month or so, they're seriously gonna have a bit of a subscriber exodus on their hands.

I can't see this "polishing" bullshit dragging on for another 2 months though. I guess they could have a computer malfunction and have all their work destroyed and the cloud crashed and all matter of shit happen that they could justify to 1000 or so gullible people to keep paying them to redo it all, but barring an act of god, the episode's gotta surface eventually.

If it's as long as the last episode, people can't really complain too much (because the last episode was pretty long). If it's a significantly shorter episode, then I think they don't have much defense.

So yeah, it's all speculation on both sides of the fence, but it's fun to talk shit, so we talk shit.

I indeed did the excel mostly for fun. I'm weird like that, I like to play with data sets.

 

[Xupuzulla]

Thought some of you might enjoy a graph showing the evolution of progress over time. For each of the three main sections there's a column for tasks that are done and a column for total tasks, both as reported. The third column for each section is just a substraction, showing how many tasks are left to do for that section. Dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format, not the US mm/dd/yyyy format. The Y scale (for the rows) is not linear. Meaning there's a row almost for each day for the last few week, but the farther back we go (the further up the table), the more "gaps" there are in the date (because I couldn't be arsed to look for more of them, mainly).

If their work keeps this pace, the projection would be four months until completion.

Four months!?
But i want to play now!

Don't take it as an insult.

Don't you worry about that, I don't take things seriously enough to feel insulted by anything I assure you.

And believe me when I say that if I had to bet, at this point and with the few I know, I would not choose to believe that what we are seeing here with those daily progress trackers corresponds to the entire truth and that at least (conscientious or not) they are tricking people with them.

But you need to remember something, it should be "innocent until proven guilty" and not the other way around, and that's a rule that must be applied to everyone for more that the "evidences" you might have say otherwise.

There are many reasons for a game be tagged as "abandoned" (unfortunately), so just pick the one you think it may fit this game better I guess.

Ok, thanks for the info :3

 

[shazba jnr]

holy cope, dude, and tell me, when is the game completed? When you find a girlfriend(never)?

just give up and move on, stop giving this attention

The dude's just having fun, crunching numbers and shit, why you gotta start being insulting and all that?

And seriously, someone on this site insinuating the relationship status of another dude on this site? Isn't that like the pot calling the kettle black or some shit?

 

[DemiMaximoff]

So, according to the spreadsheet, the "tasks remaining" is the stat that decreases with progress, and doesn't go in the opposite direction. So, instead of "total number of tasks", or "tasks completed", this is the stat to keep our eyes on. It is essentially the true countdown timer to the release.

It's all fake bro. They kept posting making new arts even when the art column is ready and never increased

 

[RT5X]

Games like this are why theres so much slop on this site
so many shitty low effort koikastu/honey select/daz games are made cause dudes see games like this and summertime saga and
be like "Wow! They make so much for doing nothing! I'll do it too."
forgetting that you have to make a good game before you rug pull everyone and barley do anything

It's so exciting boys and girls!

And for those who have the stomach to post this fucking snail moving update on a daily basis, I tip my hat.

And they are smart for doing so. I lost count how many times some overly angry dude would go off about how some other game has better art than this game but none of the troubles. Then you check, and their "better art" is daz renders, or traced over porn

Patreon with $20 per month as well

 

[Safkol]

I was sure this fantastic game will never end! This much characters and locations and this high quality arts need more than 1-2 person to complete

They cant hire more people because THE PASSION PROJECT or some bullshit like that
Even Evakiss is humble enough to hire help,the ego of this devs is astronomical.

I doubt its ego, TBH. It's either A. the porn industry carries a stigma with it, or more likely B. why would they take a chunk out of their profits to pay someone else, when they don't have to?

Why would a husband/wife team hire other people to help them finish a hobby? I mean, isn't this game a hobby to them? Plus, their kids will be grown up soon, in 21 year or less (depending on local laws) they can legally work on a porn game, so we should be covered.

 

[Xupuzulla]

Im pretty sure the devs said this is their job so is not a hobby.

 

[ggray100]
