Abandoned VN Ren'Py DAZ SUCH A SHARP PAIN [V0.11.7R] [KETZAL]

@Nicest_Incest
Sorry mate. I deleted that one because you said it's for Sub only. Probably best not to share that one.

Thanks. Will add this one to the thread.

 

[Mr. Tearson]

Subs/public will be using the same discord server, but as mentioned in my previous post, public only have access to certain channels and can't post links etc on there

Ah. So it doesn't matter in this case? Then I'll undelete it.

 

[Nastastic]

Too bad because Discord doesn't like my VPN and I don't like Discord for that reason.
And there is no way in hell that I will do any phone verification to visit a porn channel.

I am quite sure that there are more people like me who don't do Discord and for those people forums like this is a solution.
Devs who quit forums like this one therefore lose interaction with part of the fanbase, even if they are not paying *at the moment*.

On the other hand, devs won't have much influence on piracy either way. The game will end up here and on similar sites eventually.

We no longer have any reason to hold back. It's all fair game now. Newest versions leaked the day after they drop, subscriber-only extras leaked, etc. Ketzal gave up any right to restrict us when he left the forum.

Sorry, Naststic, we still have our policies to follow. If it has not been leaked elsewhere, we stick with the 14 days grace periods. Regardless of one's relationship.

Okay, that makes sense. I wasn't sure if the 14 day thing applied to all devs or just the ones who had a presence here. But bring on the extras!

Eh everyone knows I'm a pervert anyway and if they didn't they would if they hung around long enough (I have no filter and mostly don't wear a social mask). If they wanted to know (or wish they didn't know) what I like to fap to and which family members I fuck or would like to all they have to do is ask, not hack one of my porno accounts or look at my browser history, emails, or texts. I'm about as open in real life as I am on here (and the looks/responses I usually get are priceless when they realize it's not a prank or a dirty joke).

Actually they seem to be separate, as I had to setup a whole new Discord account to get in after the link and the differences between public and sub are huge when they are all sfw and missing a whole bunch of sub channels (nevermind no loli spoilers, but that was a given). Well, at least now people in general can know when updates are coming. Maybe the public one is also going to be set up with MEE6 subs as a work-around for SS's problems. So in short he basically moved from here to Discord for marketing as there's no point in having an SS link here if new people can't sub anyway even if they want to and his time is too limited to be keeping track of multiple AVN/social platforms. At least that's my guess in his thinking, so not really some disagreement with the staff here made him bail but just a time-management decision, though at least a dear-Jane/John letter would have been nice.

Chances are if the link you posted doesn't work, it's because the invite was created from one of the subscriber only channels, that'd be my guess anyway.
The one I posted was made from a public channel

The fact is that SSP was only a success thanks to non-paying followers. I doubt that it has that many paying followers. It's a shame if the only issue is actually financial. We've been here faithfully following Ketzal's work for over three years and it just ends like that? I used to be a paying user on Bootsy, and I'm really upset and disappointed about it. I hope that some paying user will avenge us by posting updates, devlogs and everything else here. LOL
Wasting time here? But he only posts updates!

It peaks at over 1800 paid subs after an update and the last few stayed above 1400 even in between Sure, not Dr. Pink Cake or similar but if one isn't greedy and trying to be a millionaire while overpaying for help and marketing it doesn't need to be. And financials are important when you need that to eat and pay bills (he quit his day job soon after he quit F95 and even left France to keep working on it legally, now SSP is his job). How many devs make their AVN completely for free? Only Deaufosse that I know of. Good AVNs, but those annual updates (or less even frequent) suck since he only works on them as a hobby when he feels like it.

 

[superpuma]

Seriously!!!! I never thought it would be like this, but he deserves it. But he already has too many subscribers LOL he shouldn't have left us, I feel abandoned LOL But everyone knows their own life, I can only regret it. IT WAS VERY GOOD WHILE IT LASTED!

I'm going to die of anxiety... I'm going to have a heart attack.

I felt that way earlear when I first got up and saw Ketzal was no longer the thread owner.

But what happens now, will the VN be considered ABANDONED? I'm trying to find myself on Discord, but it's more complicated there.

Not abandoned at all (devlog 80 a few posts back), Ketzal himself is just not on Lewdcorner anymore. I'm sure someone will leak the next update (11.5) here eventually.

Will it leak with authorization? LOL

He's washed his hands of this site. I suppose it was inevitable from the first time he reduced his participation; it was just a matter of time before he took his ball and went home. So no, leaks wouldn't be authorized.

It has a public release anyway, even if it doesn't get leaked, so nothing has changed other than him leaving the site, I don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal out of it and being hostile toward him, jesus, chill.

 

[Mr. Tearson]

Remember to keep it civil, folks. Not trying to be a dick but I do not have a lot of time to spend on LC currently and I am doing my best.

As for this... Well, we really can't blame them for thinking this way. Ketzal left so suddenly. Best to let it die down on its own until more information is revealed. Nothing in these comments is to be taken as fact until proof is shown, after all.
