discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py DAZ Father, Teacher, Villain [v0.2.0] [Abacus Games]

[Quetz]

Would have been better IMO, haven't touched Stormside yet but The Headmaster tends to stay away from clearly abusive situations which would be fun to see, and doesn't have incest. This looked like it would have given you a lot more potential to abuse your power.

The Headmaster is pretty railroaded, to advance the game the girls need to get punished. In FTV, the goal was different, so there would likely have been different ways to go about it.

This is the way it goes now, even for successful long-time devs. Make yet another boring MC-in-a-college-that-fucks-all-the-coeds for Steam for the kids on there to buy and use that to subsidize their original project that the loli fans actually want but keep it off their usual payment platforms. Ketzal ended up doing that as well. I forget what his new fake AVN is called on SS and it's still little more than a demo of a prologue but most still there actually subbed for SSP. He could have simply used a weekly cat video for the placeholder and prob got the same result.

 

[Nicest_Incest]

That is a bit harsh. Some devs want to have a product and with certain content they can't and would face legal trouble. So of course they have to take it out. Not everyone lives in a country that will respect the freedom of art.

I like Ketzal's solution: leave such shithole countries (France in his case) for friendlier ones. I guess some are more dedicated to their art than others.

I guess some are more dedicated to their art than others.

I agree with the basic premise, but I mean, that's a little easier to say when not confronted with an individual developer's actual reality they might be facing. If someone has only very difficult means to leave where they are — say, they can only afford to walk where they go and can't even afford a bus or train pass — walking a couple of hundreds of miles (or if you're somewhere like Russia, walking thousands of miles maybe) seems like a bit much to ask. Yes, technically they could probably do it and then show they "are more dedicated to their art", but that's still a huge ask of anyone. For most devs, I don't imagine it's even remotely as extreme as what I described.

But we almost never know about the actual personal lives of developers. I guess here, if we assume Abacus is honest, we can say he's got a family he needs to support and isn't just worried about himself. In this case, it would also require uprooting kids from their schools and friendships to go make an adult VN elsewhere. That might not be something he believes is fair to his children. I obviously don't know what considerations have gone on in his head, so I can't say anything definitively. But, to my mind, as far as Abacus (or any other developer if we don't know specifics about them, for that matter) goes, saying they aren't as dedicated if they don't move away is a little bit of an assumption that isn't necessarily based on anything tangible for that particular dev.

Yeah, true, I'm not even sure this was on hold for legal reasons as I have no idea where he lives. Seems to me simply the usual financial ones, as loli AVNs are hard to monetize on their own these days (even Ketzal had to start a new AVN relatively no one cares about to keep his SS active to pay for SSP, but a weekly cat video prob would have sufficed).

I'm sure, having skills to create a good game, you can always earn money fast enough for train/plane ticket out of the country by creating various content on request. Different thing is the family. It complicates a lot. If you are both young, have no kids and share common interests, it's possible. Otherwise, can be nearly impossible.

 

[User_9860]

Is there a way to bring up the quick menu or whatever its called?

 

[Soulstar]

a good start really enjoy games like this with the scientific corruption element (used to play alot of a game like this called lab rats..... I think its been a long time cant find the game anymore)

 

[hidekiwolf]

Is the game still in progress? Subscribestar is not showing up for me

This probably should get marked Abandoned — if not now, soon. Abacus' SS page was removed entirely, and there's been nothing on Discord since October last year. I doubt this game will get a v0.3 update ever.

His SS was part of the loli purge back in Dec. Given his Discord has been pretty much inactive as well even longer this AVN is now about as dead as Julius Caesar, it's just a matter of waiting for the remainder of the 12 months of radio silence to tick down to be official (another 4-5 months). Or Jan 2026 when it will have been 18 months with no new update, take your pick.

 

[jaredh72]

Has anyone been able to get in contact with the dev? When I hover over their name, it shows "Last seen Monday at 5:24 AM".

That doesn't mean much really. Could be the actual dev, or could be any random dude with access to his account. Prob just another dev mostly ghosting everyone just because they feel like it, it happens both online and in real life too more often than you think (with some even going as far as faking their own deaths with law enforcement then later suing them for wasting taxpayer money in the search/investigation after they are found).

 

[master101]

Any update with this one? Is it still "On Hold" or is it officially abandoned?

 

[sharkz]

Dev has been ghosting for quite a while now and doesn't even have the balls to make a little statement on what's going on, his last comment is 2 Years old, last update almost a year ago and as mentioned here, SS removed as well as complete radio silence on his own Discord, i wouldn't expect any updates of this Game either.

 

[Dnj]

Too bad if that's the case, it was an interesting game.

And he never released the loli-patch he promised for the latest (reworked) version.

OVERVIEW
You play as a married man and a father of three lovely daughters. Somehow you find yourself in the midst of many strange events that will change both you, your family, everyone you know and the world around you. You're not sure whom to trust but yourself and will have to navigate plots set in motion by foreign governments, shady corporations, ambitious heroes and power-hungry people all the while trying to manage your day to day life with your family, school and research. Will you be able to get out on top by making the right choices and living a caring, passionate life or will you chose to simply push your way to the top and savor the fruit of your power. That is entirely up to you.

Spoiler: More Info

About four decades ago 'something' caused an unknown number of ch*ldren around the globe to get born with extraordinary abilities. To everyones surprise this stopped from happening just a few years after it began but lately these strange births have started happening again and more ch*ldren are once again born with super human abilities. We don't know why and we don't know what caused it. Maybe natural evolution and the survival of the fittest. Maybe environmental pollution. Maybe alien manipulation. Maybe some divine intervention. However, we do know that from that moment the world changed forever. Humans fear what they don't understand.

You will play as a married man and a father of three lovely daughters.

Despite your relatively young age you are a renowned scientist and were recently offered a part time teaching position and in addition your own department for doing nextgen research on the human mind at an innovative but still very conservative, all girls education institution backed by the government.

The concept of the institution is simple. Take responsibility of the girls from a young age when they start in kindergarten until they graduate and molding them into the best possible young women by teaching them the necessary skills needed to be a productive citizen.

Your research is valid and unknown to anyone else you are on the brink to complete your first prototype formula and the promise of your own department giving you the means to further develop your research was too good to ignore even though you had to move back to the capital with your whole family.

You accepted their offer and one month ago you moved back to your ch*ldhood city where you grew up to a new house near the institution together with your family. They made the relocation very easy for you and arranged a new job for your wife at the major hospital and enrolled your daughters into the same school where you work.

You have barely started working and are basically in the planning stage so everything is still very new to you and the principal has requested that you have an urgent meeting today. You know that it is important but you have no idea why and that makes you a little nervous.

From here on you make your own choices. Not all choices are good or evil, there will be grey areas as well and all choices will sooner or later affect your playthrough in one way or another.

Spoiler: Changelog:

v0.2.0
Important !!!
Due to extending my code to allow for easy content patching going forward I unfortunately had to break save compatibility. Saves from previous versions are NOT usable. I apologize for this. Remember you can select "Skip Unseen Text" in the preferences and then hold down Ctrl to skip forward to new content.

Fixed Bugs:
- I'm an idiot! Changing the MC's surname didn't affect your wife's and daughters' surnames.
- You should now be able to change the name and age of all characters directly in the people screen. This should now work as intended with textbox, phone, quests etc. (Let me know if it doesn't). Just click on the name/age, enter new and then click on "Accept" to confirm change.

Changes:
- GUI is reworked to be easier to use. You can now change directly between people, quests and kinks without closing each window.
- Extended code to allow for easy content patching going forward (changed scenes, new scenes, new choices) for all who are interested.

• Re-rendered all images and applied de-noising at an acceptable level of detail.
• Re-rendered all side images and portraits to get the same acceptable quality level.
• Converted all code and dialogue to comply with my new framework (roughly 13000 lines).
• New GUI for pretty much everything in game.
• Changed some scenes to better comply with perceived meanings. This also affect stats.
• Added a few scenes and renders to tell a better story.
• Added quest information renders.

Not sure why my post got deleted it wasn't an empty reply but I'll post it again anyways. The android port doesn't allow you to play. When you open it it wants you to allow it access to the storage and if you don't it'll close
