Despair Labyrinth (RPG) Latest Release: Ver.0.09 (4/18/12)

[Katiekat]

nope.. thats all there is so far.

[Darthan]

Okay, I finally found this page! I got this game from a friend, but it was incomplete. I get past this bar or lounge-type area, then it says that's all. Any updates?

If you have version 0.09 then that is where the current content ends. Kita always has the room at the end of the current content telling you that you have reached the end. If you have the current version that is all there is.

[Cumslut Tifa]

So, the game is dead? 8 months without an update - so sad. RIP.

[gravifan89]

I don't know what version I have. I've had it for a few months, though, so I was hoping it's been updated.

[Raio10]

Any chance of an update even if it says that the project is dead just to let all of us who are waiting know

[Wonderful Hawk]

God damn people, don't just declare it dead all on your own. Kita posted... a month and a half ago, saying that it is not dead - but is currently on hiatus. That information was as easy to get as checking his recent posts, which was like two clicks. Seriously, doesn't hurt to do a little research before tossing out comments with no basis in reality.

[wanted]

The basis on reality are:

- 8 months old version
- no time to even check a forum on the internet?
- he works alone

Sorry form the pessimism Hawk, but I'm tired of hoping to see some progress.
I also fear Kita doesn't like (enjoy) working on DL anymore, he can answer It the next time he shows up.

Kita has plenty of time to be online, I talk to him on an almost daily basis. Hiatus means just that though, Hiatus. If you say you want a break from something and people are bugging you about it every single day it kinda makes it feel like you're not really taking a break and not want to get back to it. Also, I've said it before and I'll say it again, a full time job eats ALOT more time and effort than college. Effort is a depelete'able resource and what may have been worked on almost daily before may only get one weekend a month anymore if that.

Also part of the reason updates are slow is because alot of the "lore" of the world is being fleshed out better right now. There's alot to the game world besides the labyrinth itself, as a series of RPs at his other "hang-out" site of choice show.

Try not wasting your breath Kyo. Most of these people, myself included I am sad to say, don't make games like this. However, as a connoisseur of said games, i am used to long delays to games such as this, where not only is there no profit, it's a one man project working with what little free time he has. The final project usually takes time to get out. People are just impatient because they want to play the final version already. If you people would check out other maker's respectful blogspots or personal forums, you would see that with the exception of Corruption of Champions's Fenoxo, who actually does this for a living and lives off what pitiful donation he recieves, everyone has work, health, and family issues that take precedence over this game which is just technically a hobby that he drop should he feel the need to do so.

[Rakarth]

All I have to say to all of this "Dead" crap is... The moment kit gets on and says it's dead is the moment it's dead... Now STFU and wait, or don't complain.

Before you start making judgements about what somebody should "realistically" be able to do, pick up a copy of RPG Maker (the trial's free, after all) and see what kind of work is involved.

[Wonderful Hawk]

And 3D Custom Girl! Gotta get 3DCG involved in that, and make images for eight unique characters (plus side scenes). Combine that with the RPG Maker work, and then you might have a small idea of what it takes to make a game like this. Much work as he's already put into it, he's earned a hiatus, oh yes. He's earned more than that.

[phoenyxz]

Agreed ure right Hawk though with the quality of the game is human that we maybe anxious for new version i kinda im, especially to see wat comes next, by the way happy xmas and new year ahead of the time hahaha

[Rakarth]

@Hawk You're right about that one.. After all he's not a professional game company.... So breaks are break, and I for one know that while making a game with little help you need a break.

[oni-san]

XD it's like ToffiSama all over again. Impatient people, and then Toffi comes out with something awesome...when he's damned well ready to make it. I for one really can't wait to move on with playing this magnificent work, but i'm not so pompous as to rush KITA. Lol this game is WORTH the wait.

[lok987]

Yeah, I have to agree: making these games is a shit ton of work. Patiently waiting and motivating the creators to continue their projects is really the best (and only) thing you can do. There are many games in development, which are really promising, but they all take a lot of effort and time.

Some examples:

- Resident Evil Progeny: there were no real updates for months, but it's now rather active again.
- Corta's Platformer: Corta completely disappeared for about a year until he picked it back up. Now he's been gone for 3 months again.
- Hounds Of The Blade: Small updates only approximately every 3 - 5 months.
- DirtyC101's Furry Fury: Legend of the Twin Orbs: updates about every 6 months.
- Projekt Wolfenstahl: they wanted to finish their game by end of Juli / August. It's still not finished now, but maybe in Q1/13?
- I think Kyrieru intended to have his new game finished by now (end of 2012) as well. Instead he's currently taking a break from it and makes another one, before returning to his main project.
- Gorepete is also nearing 4 months of hiatus mid January.
- Toffisama is also taking lengthy breaks in between. He was gone for over 6 months this year, before updating Amazon Kara.

So, it takes quite literally years before such ambitious projects get finished. That is, of course, if they aren't officially abandoned at some point.

[Triuneprophet]

I am just getting into making a game and I am already shocked by how much more work is involved. Give him time this game is like incredibly well done I hope he updates soon but I know no matter how long it takes, it won't dissapoint.

[Eumel2]

I really love thhis game.
great combat nice story perfect match between sex and game
only 2 things are bugging me a bit
1. u cant review scence against opponents that u defeated
2. the scenes are all somewhat the same for every character i would prefer less different scenes but unique ones for everyone

[Kyo]

I'd probably be deluding myself by thinking anyone plays Dlaby for any reason besides the sex scenes, but as I've said before, the world is far from dead because Kita is hosting a few RPs set in that world on a different site. I'd post a link, but I'm unsure of LOK's policy on that... still, if anyone is interested in the reading material I think I could send it over PM.

[Rakarth]

@Eumel2 Do you know how much work goes into the scenes already? It would make more work for kit to make very scene unique as they already are enough work just making them the same... So doubt you're ever going to get that for every single scene.
