discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py [HS2] Money or Morals [Day4.5] [Ronovan]

[RG80100]

He at least gave us one of the hottest foursomes with smol ever seen in a VN.

I have actually: No, there was nothing severe, he is well, it's simply that the whole whack-a-mole just wittled him down and he stepped away from all of it for good. Just too much stress to deal with all of that sadly, like other Devs before.
IF he comes back to game creation in the future it will still be a clear break, with a new Alias without any of the old baggage (and 99% likely without smols), so MorM is gone for good.
Theoretically there is always a possibility of changing your mind obviously, but I wouldn't bet on some 0.1% chance

And yes, that is personal first hand information.

Thanks for the news, I actually stumbled onto this site originally because I was trying to figure out what the heck happened to Ronovan. I was randomly checking to see if MoRM had returned to the world and was instead alarmed at the creator's accounts all being deleted. I knew they'd planned to primarily work on other things a while back, but it's always a shame to see a developer burn out.

Huh, had no idea teacher was originally a smol game. Might have the best animations and scene staging of the games out there right now tbh, but now I'm really curious what the original models looked like before they were aged up. Guessing it might have been Version 0.1 or something, but his Itcio only goes back to vers ~0.4.
Is there any place you can see the vers 0.1 models, even just a couple of pics?

version 0.3 is what you want

 

[Jok4r]

version 0.3 is what you want

Where can we find 0.3 ?

 

[Shipfan66]

Where can we find 0.3 ?

Now there's a fifty-cent question lol. Hopefully somebody still knows where to find it, cause I unfortunately deleted my copy without thinking when I updated to 0.4 way back then. I mean, somebody could always make a patch to put the age-changing mechanic back in, but that's not gonna fix the models...

I've got lying on my drive the day3, day4 and day4.5 but even day3 doesn't seems to be the version you're looking for.
I've compare both day3 and day4.5 but I don't think it's what you're looking for.
The files doesn't seems to have versions, so it's hard to know if what version is related to each of these releases.

That being said, if you want to check this is

Ronovan, Ketzal, RogueOne, Royal Games. They are all examples of what happens when you think you can just decide to get another source of income from loli VNs: If your aim is to monetize with smols, either you will end up abandoning the entire dev scene or surrendering to doing vanilla content (either by creating a whole new VN or by aging your characters; ew). I personally don't do VNs at all because I lack the skills in HS2 (or DAZ, or VAM...), but it would be a hobby I'd love to partake in. I like writing stories and I'd love to be able to create a VN myself someday for this community; for free. However, I do have other hobbies, and for every hobby I've had that has implied sharing things with others, like my RPG projects and more (which I will not further elaborate here), it never crossed to me the idea of paywalling it or expecting to live off it. Hobbies are hobbies, not full- nor part-time jobs.

To be fair, From what I recall Royal Games made their change not because of monetization attempts (at least not directly). It was in response to their potential legal exposure after the whole Australian Dev incident as they reside in a place with similar draconian laws.

Still sucks, but it generally, IMO, it feels less aggravating when a dev quits or ages up due to concerns related to IRL issues like Family or Legal exposure, Than if its because they simply were not making the money they were hoping to make on the project. I think it's because the former feels like circumstances outside of the dev's control, while the latter feels more like something they could've forseen. (not like this niche has a large potential paying user base, and due to stigmas and other things, there are people who are legitimately concerned about a paper trail that leads to them with this content. Both of which should help set expectations for devs that this isn't going to be a cash cow)

RogueOne? What are you talking about? That New Teacher is still being made last I checked.

"either you will end up abandoning the entire dev scene or surrendering to doing vanilla content (either by creating a whole new VN or by aging your characters; ew)"
RogueOne is still developing TNT, but, as I said immediately in the same paragraph, the consequences of trying to monetize loli content (like early TNT) is that you either abandon it (Ronovan) or create a vanilla version (Ketzal, RogueOne).

Thanks bro i looked everywhere but couldn't find it.

 

[ObservantShadow]

On the Discord Ronovan's account no longer says Deleted User but that doesn't mean anything regarding this game

Even if he is back he'd just resume working on his new parody game

 

[TehScourge]

Sigh..as I feared the great loli/smol purge crusade has destroyed another developer.

At this rate there wont be any decent developers left in the genre.

Were stuck playing the same boring vanilla games mostly based on college.

Anyway thanks for sharing that personal info at least and wish him the best.

Yeah...Just wait, college themes will probably be their next target. Or, perhaps they'll just obliterate everything altogether by banning anything even remotely sexual or pornographic. Along with banning the use of VPNS and forcing ISPs to censor and blacklist anything on their naughty list so it can't be accessed. As crazy as that sounds, it's not necessarily all that far-fetched, since two or three politicians in the US have already proposed doing exactly that. So much for individual liberty, freedom of conscience, and freedom from tyranny.

Pretty sure Day 1 is what you want. I haven't played Day 2 onward yet because of the changes.

But because of that I still have the original zip file of

[hsmeister]

This game was actually good, sad to see this getting abandoned?/ Not getting updates

Yeah dev wrote himself into a corner he later found out he didn't didn't have the assets for (another apparent disadvantage of HS2) and gave up out of frustration instead of doing a rewrite. Sucks, but it is what it is.

Yeah sucks for real, did he completely disappear? Like no upcoming games either?

He kinda disappeared. I guess he got tired of it.
