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

[walker188]

I posted on day 1 of this game being here and didn't even notice the 4 year anniversary came and went.

The switch to longer updates really killed it, wonder how much more money they would have made with constant short updates keeping the game in peoples minds.

They're making good money right now, NOT working on the game. From a financial perspective, the switch did not 'killed it'.

That being said, AVNs are already laborious projects, that are only completed after YEARS of work (if at all). If this is how much they can make in four years.... it can be safely said, this game will never be complete.

To me it did kill it, it's not progressed in years, 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.

I know how much they are getting a month, I wondered how much MORE they would be getting if they had worked at a steady pace of updates, not 1 bug a day.

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.

I'm just sad thinking how long Gretta's update will take and she not even the focus in v0.7

I had forgotten about this game and now is dead? Nooooo.

Is a renpy game my man,make the effort to make 2k instead of 1k shoulnt be that hard

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.

Edited for accuracy

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.

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.
