Well, maybe XPModerator is Dr. Deviant...... BTW; the DrDeviant VR experience is really outstanding! I am using Oculus Rift S - as if you would be with the girls....

I did split up the postings about the Dr Deviant game. It now can be found under https://www.xmoonproductions.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6147


Whaoh... coming in this thread after so many times to talk about something not at all related to xplayer development is cold. Like, really ?

Sorry for the confusion. I actually have nothing to do with the game itself. In fact, I have just as much information as anybody else here ... and that is nothing. Whether you believe it not, it's the truth.
And I am here just to clean spam and sometimes do things like this. In my view the Dr Deviant needed its own thread, so I did split that part. No harm done.

Alright, fair enough.

And if you have nothing to do with xpadmin or this game, i can only admire you still cleaning up this basically dead place.

More than 4.5 years have passed since the Creation of this theme (about the new version). :roll:

It is a pity that the process took a long time ... apparently, the creator has his own reasons for this.

Perhaps it is worth arranging a survey on whether (is it worth creating a fundraiser on Patreon) to somehow speed up the process, or whether it will not be so effective after confusing so many years.

In any case, it will be very interesting for me to hear your opinion, dear participants of the Forum. (as well as the Creator).
Amen :idea:

While the creator may have his/her own reasons for the delay, and while they don't have to tell us what those reasons are, the fans of XStoryPlayer (including myself) have consistently shown up here, hoping for some kind of information relating to 4.0 for far too long. There has been speculation of XPAdmin's death, illness and many people have just given up on it altogether and left. Personally, I think it's safe to assume the project is dead "as of now".

If - in some undeterminable time in the future - XPAdmin decides to resurrect the project, I'm sure we'll all hear about it. However, all this time being left completely in the dark has left a sour a taste in my mouth and I don't think I want to trust X Moon Productions with my money again, at least not until the project is fully reviewed and certified with full, guaranteed support from the X Moon Productions team.

XSP 3.5 was a complete product and unmatched in terms of gameplay. It set a high standard for other creators to follow and people were happy to pay for it. Despite the bugs, clunkiness and quirks - not to mention the fact that the character models were un-moddable and unchangeable due to (completely unnecessary) encryption - the community were excited enough about 3.5 to squeeze whatever longevity they could out of it, and mods soon became available, but they were mostly just clothing items, skins, rooms, text additions and a few mechanical changes (poses and such) that didn't really allow the community push the game where they (we) all wanted it to go.

This project has so much promise and potential, but it's clear that it's not being managed as well as it could. If XPAdmin is still out there, I hope he/she is well and I hope he/she is finding the time to work on it in whatever capacity he/she can, and I hope we'll see more support and community interaction from them soon.

:(

I made a physics based puzzle map, Blackjack, Poker, Night out with around 8 endings and 20 achievements and a Doctor scene.
Even started a RPG game where you could chop a tree with an to collect wood.

If i get to play with 4.0 then i got some ideas ready to go.

The impression i get from X Moon is its a very small team and the programmers that make the game enjoy doing it and the challenges along the way.
Not going to say that they enjoy every challenge, I'm making my own games in UE4 and some days i don't even want to look at it, so i don't. Perks of being a solo Dev with no patron monthly update requirements.

I'll let them just work in their own time and if 4.0 happens then ill mod stories and stuff for it.

Thanks, Eskarn. Best ever response! Thanks for your contributions so far - can't wait to play 4.0 with your modifications.... if 4.0 does not ever get on the road... it's ok, too! Currently playing 3,5 with Oculus Rift S - cool!

Apologies mate, you're absolutely right - your contributions have been huge, along with many others.

I absolutely get that impression, too. It would just be nice to have some kind of clear update after so long. Sure - they don't have to update us, they don't owe us a damn thing, it's just common courtesy and good practice to not leave so many people in the dark and wondering for so long. Bit rude, that's all I'm saying ;)

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with 4.0, if it comes out.

I have no problem waiting for version 4.0, but I understand that there are people tired of waiting since it is not true that the Xmoon team do not owe anything to the users. For a time they put on sale a pack that included versions 4.0 and 5.0.
