Ren'Py Power Vacuum [Ch. 12 Official] [What? Why? Games]

I imagine because they think he has the same situation as Annabelle. They assume his memories are equal to his age. He is innocent and hasn't done anything yet. This is assuming Annabelle is cloned and given only memories up to whatever age she is. not sure how that works either.

Has anyone else reported getting a refund?

Has anyone else reported getting a refund?

aside from 1 person who said they got a refund on discord, i don't think i've seen anyone else. which i found odd because he also got the refund in a few hours. almost like he was told to say he got a refund.

could he actually be telling the truth though? sure.

I'll ask again because it has been bugging me. Does anyone have any good ideas on how Hunter Jr. was able to weasel his way into the household? And did new Anabelle show up right after?

You're still not caught up? I guess there's no rush, now.

New Annabelle showed up at the very end of chapter 12. New Hunter will show up in chapter 13, but it's not clear how he enters the picture. He was revealed in the Aug 1 teasers called "Another Mouth To Feed Or Another Mouth Feeder? NTR Lite Teasers"... "In Chapter 13, it appears that Annabelle isn't the only one who had her DNA rejuvenated."

So when is the next update?

Still only at chapter 8

Oh damn ok so she already showed up..so she is going to introduce HIM possibly as a young lover maybe? I have a hard time accepting that they would believe that somehow Hunter was a changed man or that his memory was wiped so now it's all good. Makes me think about the theory Pinkie brought up about Nora and Keira being in on the whole thing. Maybe Hunter really does have moles in the house that help convince the girls to accept him in.

I think talking about the delay has gone on long enough. especially when we have a rule against it.

View attachment 4700575

What people are going to talk about then? chapter 12 update was one year ago, and chapter 13 got
temporarily undefined delayed hours before release date. No one knows when will be ready.

At this point people talked about EVERYTHING there's to talk about the game, about chapter 12 and chapter 13.

SO YEAH, people are going to keep talking about it.

So at the risk of putting fuel on the fire, I will launch the hypothesis that at one point and until very recently he was sure he could release at the end of march, but then something happened. He might had a "flash" of creativity and suddenly he realised that chapter 13 would be much better if he changed or added things here and there and it would make it significantly stronger.

But to make that happened, he needed much more time.

I remember what if volume 8, and while I LOVED that what if, there is so many ways it could have been significantly better if it had more time. We could have seen more of Sterling trying to talk to Mallory and realised that she is only interested in Opehlia Now, that would have made a much more "alive" story then what we got, where Sterling just says that Mallory wants nothing to do with him. If we had seen that Sterling-Mallory discussion while Ophelia is breeding another girl and Stelring isn't aware of what is happening... Show don't tell is always more effective.

Or I remember Kevin NTR ending of chapter 12, and while it is good, it could have been significantly better if we had seen Sterling REACTS to Kevin taking both Brenna, Ophelia and Catherine. Because in the final products, we never see him learn that Ophelia got pregnant from Kevin. In this NTR ending it lacked a cuckold aspects.

More time of development on both of these would have made them significantly better. Now when I downloaded what if volume 8 and chapter 12, was I happy I got them sooner rather than later? sure... But Once I got them and I had an opportunity to play them, that "sooner" aspect is gone and now the focus is on what is NOT in the final products. Specifically the content that would have made these chapter much stronger in the long run.

This is why if WWWG got a flash of creativity recently, and he realised he can make the final products significantly better with more time, I think he should do it. I prefer a products with more content later then less content now. That said, he really needs to communicate more with his audience from now on, transparency is the key.

This is the feeling that i had gotten as well. I really believe he is so invested into his creation that throughout the years it has become an obsessive thing for him. You see this happen with alot of devs too. Some will even downright tell players about how they haven't been paying attention to life outside of the game they are creating and need a small break from the digital world to catch up irl. I hope everything turns out to be okay for him.

This game is way too close to the abandoned tag for enforcement of that rule.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the rule 18 months with no update? This is only like what 14 months? 3-4 months is a pretty long time.

You know whats longer than 4 months? 14 months.

 

[storm1051787]

14 months itself is not really that long for a lot of these games though. Isn't that one of the reasons why the time frame was extended isn't the first place because some many of these games were taking a year between updates? I know we're not supposed to talk about other games on this thread, but being a dik also took around 14 months to update.

WWG said he thinks the update is at least 2 months away. That would be 16 months, best case, but it could easily take longer and hit that 18 month threshold. Hopefully it won't, but we should be realistic here.

IIRC that rule was put into place for Light of my Life, which has consistent and semipredictable year-long launch cycles, BaDIK's second to last update was a in development a year as well. This games last two updates took ten months, but both of those also had multiple what ifs/dreams release as well.

Who else is staying up to see if it's a prank?

Probably not WWG

Considering that he thought he could get it released by this month it's possible it won't take 2 months either. My point is considering how many other games have similar update cycles to this one and several major games on this site also took between 12-14 months to update it makes no sense to not enforce the rule here. Imo a third of a year away isn't really close. Especially since we literally have this exact same conversation every single update cycle. At least wait till the game actually hits 16 months.

I'd argue this games update cycles are fairly consistent as well. They've been steadily increasing by a month or two per update. And the dream sequences aren't that long in the first place. Each one is probably only about 5 mins or so and they're just suggestions other people asked for so it's not like he has a ton more writing to do there than for the actual main game.

Me for sure that would be actually crazy XD
