Ren'Py Abandoned Runaway Princess [v0.4 Final] [MobumGames]

[Pr0GamerJohnny]

I'd read something about this while scanning the thread, but hadn't given it much thought. Now that I played the game, I find it wasteful, but, most of all, unfair that Mobum was forced to stop development. And, you say, abandon the AVN industry altogether? Fuck dictatorships.



I hope it's not either/or RP seems to have had plans to cater to both, or better yet, the discerning few that don't see them as incompatible. I like the corruption and sharing aspects of the original game and dislike NTR proper, but honestly can't complain if it exists in games as an autonomous route. I don't think it was the main focus of the original RP, was it? (only played the prologue, I know there's more of that in subsequent parts)

exactly why i had a sad face to that comment, it made it sound like some sterile design-by-committee that downplays what made this game great - the worldbuilding, overall story and mechanics.

It wasn't some cheap "bang em all" type harem game, likewise it wasnt a "cucked from dawn till dusk" type ntr game. Games can be so much more - this was a great example of such. Hope the remake does it justice or inspires it's own cool storytelling and world.

I love that legendary ntr/harem divide. It never made any logical sense but some people are still adamant about it.
Also I agree with Pr0GamerJohnny here, some games deserve more than to be limited to the kinks they may or may not feature.

Well, as the guy working on making the remake sound good enough to earn the respect of the previous fans of RP and new players alike, it has been a tall order; fraught with problems, staff changes, apartment fires, a lot of illness and the occasional troll trying to threaten us with dire consequences for doing things like including NTR (there is some; some of which is avoidable, some which isn't (because if it were there would be no point in making the game - it is literally an integral part of the story)) or including illegal content (there is none at all, and it is totally stupid to suggest otherwise).

I have recreated and extended the original title music, created 5 brand new character theme songs using the original as a foundation, created a new song that will feature in the new prelude, recreated almost 100 sound effects and environment tracks from scratch using fully attributed samples (that's just in the first release, which is half of the original Willowdale content). I have spent hundreds of hours doing this since I joined the group in October 2023, while also working on 3 other games and being VERY active on Discord. This isn't a complaint, nor a boast, it's more to try to reassure people that even though we have not released much apart from a few in-game and special renders, we are most defiinitely working on the game.

I want this game to succeed. I want old players to nod with respect. I want new players to raise their eyebrows in surprise. My feet are on the ground though and I expect there will be some who really don't like it. That is the way of things, you can't like everything. I have loved working on this game though, and I hope that that love comes across when people play it.

TLDR - I do the music/sfx, there's lots of new stuff, I hope our work pays off. Oh, and NTR.

if they are going to reach on 1st release same as mobum reached on 0.4 then it's quite a big project.

I understand your hesitation, Fairtail, but am a little puzzled by it. I mean, I can't think of a single developer who's been able to revive an abandoned game successfully and carried it forward. We intend to be one of the first if not the first.

You don't have to believe that. You don't have to join the Discord server and find out for yourself the progress of the ReImagined rebuild. You don't have to support the game with even a $1 donation of support via Patreon or Subscribestar. You don't even have to consider the possibility that someone is trying to carry on a game that you clearly like.

But the game is happening. That's as sure as water being wet and the sun rising up on the morrow.

Rather than being negative about the prospect of the game's renewal, you could just sit back and wait until the game is released, and just play it. If you choose to support the game, you get renders from the game, news about release, get to ask questions about the game, and even get the game earlier than most. I get that early release isn't such a big thing [especially here], but some people like having the early access - especially those who are impatient or want to be rewarded for their patience.

And I do apologize for the game's long development time. It haas taken a fair amount of time to assemble a kick-ass team of like-minded devs to reconstruct the game from the ground up while holding onto the spirit and a lot of the content of the game.

So, there it is, Fairtail. You can remain doubtful that the sun will again rise, or look forward to it. It's all your choice.

I believe you guys can pull it. Not wanting to suggest distractions (the main goal being to release the remake with all of the original content) I'd mention I missed the opportunity to make Elly your lover. She could easily be steered into 3 different routes, 2 of which I would enjoy: love, sharing and NTR. Love would open up once love stat hits a threshold; sharing would be available as an option if her corruption is above a threshold and would include content of her love route, plus possibly content of the ntr route, but you discuss her slutty adventures at breakfast and Elly's only true love is YOU; ntr is basically what there is already, without your choice and her loving you most, and would be unavoidable if she has high corruption but low love. TBH the current content isn't particularly strong ntr, as you can't be in a relationship with her, but she does hint at getting soft on you, there's the scene where she cares for you after you get kicked in the balls, plus swimming in the lake and that does lend her content with Johnny and Randy a feeling that you may be losing your chance (which never comes). I'll leave it for others to think if it's worth creating a proper NTR route when she's actually your lover, provided you guys add that possibility.

Would be great, Elly's definitely my favourite character in the prologue and, in case it wasn't obvious, I prefer sharing than NTR, but think that both can be present as optional content.

Cant wait for the release!

We have been very careful not to hype too much. While we have mentioned 3 dates in the past and missed them all, that is down to this being a HUGE project to take on, plus the issues I mentioned in my last post here, plus most of us have not worked on any games before.
We know it is a long time to wait. This isn't just a fap-fest KN/VN and we HAVE to make sure the many, many pathways work (like potentially getting an MC-Elly sexual relationship created, as reidanota mentions above) or we will have failed the 300 or so patient folks that have joined us on Discord/Patreon/SubStar.
We hear and understand your frustration loud and clear, I hope you understand our frustration at not being able to release it yet.
