Ren'Py What a Legend! [v0.7.05] [MagicNuts]

[lilou.jerrilynn]

So wait, this isn't abandoned?

I believe the abandoned tag is applied automagically after X days of no updates.

 

[varpep]

Nope, it's getting an update in eight days.

 

[John-18]

At this point i am actually willing to bet money, the devs come up with another delay...

There's like just two fucking bugs; they need to get some red bull, a babysitter, and just nail this bitch already!

So we can nail this bitch

Sure there are only 2 bugs to fix. I'm thinking 2-3 days tops and the development process is finished. But let's not forget there's still beta-testing stage... who knows how long that will take

 

[Finuee]

I don't want to alarm anyone, but the last time the remaining work looks this close...

Credit to @Finuee for the table, I just drew that little dream crushing red line...

Yeah, I'm afraid of that as well. Let's hope not.

how big update u making for it to take 2+ years?

I hardly think it has anything to do with the size of the update, tbh.

One of the bugs probably corrupted all the files.

This makes my eyes hurt. These progression bars should only be used for computers, not humans. I get that its a a way for the devs to show they're working, but I'm sure these numbers are arbitrary. How tf do you know when you're 69.3% done with something??

 

[ProfN42]

Damn, people are already forgetting that helpful prostitute we met at some point, even if she already have her associated gallery menu (to be fair I don't remember her name... but then there's also Celestine so that's fine I guess)

Hmph! I'll have you know some of us have NOT forgotten Anne the Welcome Whore aka Best Girl even if the Nuts have abandoned her

There's like just two fucking bugs...

That's just the problem, the bugs fucked. Tomorrow there'll be 12 of them instead of 2

 

[yonikniknik]

really waited 2 years for a fucking orc update thats crazy i aint gonna lie

 

[Jarvis666]

The developers know a lot about torture and perversion))

 

[lbqlqblbq]

Can it be updated today?

 

[moskyx]

Can it be updated today?

No. It will be released on Dec 10th for patrons.

edging is more fitting here actually, if you will...

They had a triple threat of:

• Scale/Feature creep (update supposedly double the size of previous ones) - classic case with indie (and sometimes even AAA) devs where the amount of work becomes hard to both oversee/manage and actually do. One of the common reasons for abandoned projects.
• Childbirth - First it creates a pause which is already threatening due to indie devs usually having a fragile work ethic when it comes to delivering regular updates, especially when the project becomes more complex or is in an uninteresting change. It also means both devs (parents) operate on very little sleep (max two hours straight) for years. Sleeplessness is one of the rougher things to have in creative fields.
• COVID - again, messing up the everyday rhythm and demands a new one to be created/modified. It is threatening due to aforementioned fragile work ethic, but COVID and the lockdowns/adjustments that came with it had a strong effect in general on people's existence. Some found it much easier to get done with their tasks, some struggled even if in theory they had more time and flexibility. COVID break/slowdown doomed or killed the pace for a number of projects.
• BONUS: The psychological struggle to continue working on something you're ashamed of (assuming they are ashamed this update has taken 4x as long as previous ones).

Now whilst all these reasons are understandable, they're still taking Patreon money and proof of the pudding is in the eating. At some point you need to deliver something more than excuses, be they reasonable or not.

I have sympathy for the devs and I don't expect this to be the best update ever just because it took so long. But if they don't get their work pace back in order within the next two patches (after this) then I foresee this project fizzling out as many others before and after it.
