discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py DAZ Sides of Life [v0.2] [Rocky Games]

[Emelex]

From Dev:

Hello everyone...

I guess most of you already heard about the shit going on in Australia right now about an Australian AVN dev that got arrested for his game.

I've read a lot of law texts from my own home country in the last days and it looks like our law is just as strict as the Australian law, so for my own safety I have to stop working on my game, at least until things cooled down enough.
I know, my game was on hold for months now because of reallife reasons and I am really sorry about that, and with this shit going on now I can't say if I will ever be able to finish it.

I already thought about starting a new, "safer" game when I have the time for it, but for now I think it will stay mostly silent around here.

Thank you all for the very interesting journey so far, and sorry for disappointing everyone who waited patiently for a new update...
When I ever start a new game I will plan things ahead and hopefully learn from my own mistakes.

See you around,
Rocky

Is there any chance we could get a description of the plot of the cancelled chapters for some small sense of closure?

 

[Nezron]

Really nice start. MC is not a wimp (maybe a little creepy. lol), and so far really good job on the characters. I hope you will continue this game when things die down. peace.

i don't get why the dev's aren't just realeasing a censored version and pirates releasing the uncensored one.
This is how incest was always handled and this type of content also before LC existed.
If they did this along time ago our good man in aussie would still be around.

Hello everyone, sorry for being so silent over the past weeks. This is not easy for me... I have bad news for everyone who liked my game. I made a decision now. I won't continue my game, or better I can't do that anymore. It's been nearly a year now since the last update and the time is running like shit for me. I am totally out of the story, and on top of that I got a lot better now at making stuff in daz and looking at my old renders and especially the characters makes me wanna puke. So to have fun working on it again I would have to remake nearly everything, because I am a perfectionist in this regard. Sometimes a single render takes over an hour because I am not completely happy with a pose or the light. It's draining. And I just don't have this amount of time. As some of you know, I am an active army soldier from Germany and I spent the whole week at the base because it's too fucking far away from my home, and there I am not able to do anything besides watching movies and shit after work. So I only have the weekends at home and I also need them to relax at least a little. So there is maybe one and a half day left per week to work on anything, and I think anyone who ever tried to work on a time consuming project in his free time can understand that this won't work forever. I really like my game and I had big plans for it, but sadly reality just won't let me. I will keep making random renders from time to time because I still love to do that, and if anyone of you wants a special render just DM me and I will make it for you. I just can't continue working on a whole game. I am really sorry to disappoint you, but this will be the end of this journey. Thanks for all the nice comments over the time and for playing my game. Sincerely, Rocky @member

Now you can put the abandoned tag

 

[BadJM]

I think everyone saw this coming. Still sad to see another game abandoned but if the dev doesn't have the time to work on it, there is nothing we can do.

 

[User_48642]

Added the abandoned tag

 

[sexy66]

It really had the potential to be a really good game. I mean if the developer had some help with some of the things of the development of the game it could’ve got a long way in terms of development speed

 

[Dragon1626]

Have the assets I could probably give it a try

Maybe you should talk to the developer about that

I just wanted to post it here too.

Sorry to disappoint all of you, I never wanted to be just another dev who abandoned his game.
But I can't change reality, as much as I would like to do so. I loved making that game, but it just won't work anymore.

Thanks for everything, it was a great journey for me.

I will still stay around of course, I am not leaving the AVN community, I just can't be a dev anymore sadly.

I don’t think anyone’s blaming you I mean I think anyone can agree that making a game is not as easy as 1.2.3 and it’s done, it takes a lot of time and patience to do especially if it’s one individual that’s making the game then probably it’s I would say 10 times harder That’s why probably some developers former team to share the load of the Work like someone specialises in the coding someone specialises in the rendering and someone specialises in storytelling I mean I’m not expert on game development I’ve never made again, but I think anyone who has played games with it is adult visual novel games or mainstream games like AAA games from big time developers I think many people would understand, On the fact that it takes a lot of work to get it done and to get it done right?

great game!!!!

 

[Emelex]

Have the assets I could probably give it a try

If you did, I'd play it.

 

[Alanray64]

If you did, I'd play it.

You would need the assets as well as possibly the storyline developed to give a direction of where the developer was aiming for. That way there would be a bit of consistency for the AVN.

 

[Dragon1626]

No Problem

 

[pregame]

No Problem

I really hope you go ahead with this project assuming you have permission to take over. Too good to just end as there was so much potential.

 

[maximus]

Any chance you got the assets and are going to make a stab at continuing this? I assume its a long shot but I hate walking away from a story!

 

[zozo88]

Man this game had so much potential too bad it had to be abandoned. The dark corrupt cop angle was cool. While i hope that someone will continue the game/story ive only really seen i happen successfully once with PA and a million unnecessary times with the big brother games. I guess those that have the ability to make games like this, understandably choose to make their own games.

 

[Dragon1626]

Nope, I don't have the assets as we speak, I got a lot of them out(asking for the assets of multiple games), and I just see whose going to give them to me first
