discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py EGBE [Prologue v0.3.3b] [Ketzal]

[superpuma]

I just wish that what had already been made available to all paying levels was now shared here, as usual... and also the other works... Ketz already had a lot of things defined... another one that is gone.

 

[Dummy256]

Wish EGBE continued, even without lolis.

Fuck censorship clowns

... another one that is gone.

Maybe not. There is a way around it:

1- He could create an account in one of those paysites and deliver there twice a year an update for a game with "acceptable" content, while he would work on the games he wanted.

2- The games he wanted would be shared in sites like this one, password protected. The password he would send to his supporters on the paysite according to their tiers and his schedule of release.

3- People wanting to support his work on the games he wanted would have to do it on the paysite with the game with "acceptable" content.

Damn, Ketzal I'm sad to see you hanging up the towel on the taboo content. But, I totally get it. The Karens of the world have just gotten too powerful.
But I'm grateful for what you gave us. You are one of the best, and you've given me and the community so much joy during the years. I mean, you gave us Leana, who is without one of my favorites throughout the AVNverse.
You sir, are without a doubt, the GOAT.

(I guess the new cannon for SSP is that the MC died at the end. )

I wish you the best of luck with your future projects!

Considering the fact that he just deleted every thing from his SS and put it on vacation mode, I think it's pretty safe to assume he will not work on these games anymore.
Unless he intends to just go get a regular job, what he will most likely do is either just release SMTL on patreon with an incest patch released somewhere else. Or he if just wants to cut off any connection to the Ketzal name he could create a completely new game.

Such an amazing scene at the end. Hate to see whats happening to the dev, but I get where he is coming from. Really hope he can come back some day and finish these, but I hope more to see what he makes in the future. I'm sure, smol or not, it will be fantastic.

That's what I meant. He could create a new game, use a new name, a new paysite account and deliver there the new game. While working on the Ketzal's games we love. Only his former supporters and those who would discover his games here would know he was still developing his original games, and would support him on the new paysite.

It would be hard to work on 3 games at the same time. Don't forget the supporters of his new game would want content for their game as frequently as possible. It becomes a question of, is the risk worth the reward? And right now it seems that the risk would be too big for very little reward. This was his job, and now if he decides to still make games he will have to start from 0 again with no guarantee that his next project will be successful.
We lost a couple of games that we really loved, but he lost his livelihood.

damn it really sucks that all 3 of his games were abandoned idk if this was confirmed by ketzl or if the mods just put it as abandoned considering everything going on but i understand why he would abandon the games hopefully he still feels like making games i don't even care if it has to do with lolis the milfs in his games are honestly good enough for me. and fuck that collective shout shit everything started going to shit when they had card companies pulling out of websites

You can see the post he made on SS HERE. For SMTL there is some hope because that game doesn't have any lolis and Ketzal mentioned that he will still make games. So he could just release that game on patreon under a new name, with an incest patch(if the game has incest, I never played it), and he can also put in on cuck95 so it can reach a bigger audience.

So Im in the process of having a commission made on a different site, and the way the creator is doing it is absolutely brilliant (I will not name names of the creator nor his sites for obvious security reasons)...

I requested the commission on one site and he referred me to a site that has ABSOLUTELY ZERO to do with content on the original.

On the secondary site, he posts short stories with no suspect content under a completely different "pen name" that you can pay for. You subscribe "to be able to read the books" (support his work) or can tip him any amount (paying for a commission). Even if he were caught and reported, you cannot draw a parallel between what he does on his primary vs his secondary sites and if you tried the "pen name" could easily say "That must be an outraged competitor posing as me in an attempt to take me down. BLASPHEMY I say!" and there would be no real way to prove otherwise.

Really wish Ketz would have asked for input on work arounds, I would have sent him a referral personally. This is a really bad time for AVNs with smol content, real shame is it seems I showed up just in time to watch the lights go out

hope you know what you just did.

oh let me tell you.
you just fucked everyone by giving this up, now everyone will be doing it by tomorrow morning and everyone will be shut down & its all your fault.

i hope this person blocks you.

Never trust .7z files, and other archives too.
Open them not directly clicked but with RMB and chosing "Open as Archive"
And use sandbox, god damnit
After Ketzal left development, i can say in future you may find 0.3.9R or 0.4 or 0.5 versions (and it hasn't game only malware)

one of the best is gone sad day for us

Ah yes, the unnamed sites and the unnamed individuals are soooo gonna be on the lookout for me PLEASE.

I didnt even go so far as to mention if the original site was sourced let alone based in clear or dark web

My suggestion is like I said, the new game is just for the supporters of his games already in development to have a place to support his work. The new game would be updated twice a year, when he would insert a scene and that's it, just to make it look like a real project. Ketzal should not expect income from the new game supporters who would be interested in it, only from SSP and EGBE supporters through the new game paysite.

He would have some of his former supporters back. I cannot estimate the percentage since I don't know how many of them visit this site. But he probably could message his supporters about how they could maintain their support.

That was what he was doing with SMTL. He created that game so the SS page could stay open and the page now is shadowbanned again. I would love for him to keep working on the games but right now, it's not worth it for him. He needs to have stable income to provide for his family.
He only has 3 options right now. 1, just quit making games and find a job. 2, do what you suggested and have to keep worrying about platforms banning him. And 3 Make a new and safer game that will not get randomly banned because of pixel warriors.
I doubt that he wants to just go back and have a regular job so the less risky of the other 2 options is to make a new game.
Either way he is not on this forum anymore and we don't have any way to contact him so we will just have to wait and see what he decides to do.
