I come back occasionally too

Kinda interesting that you kinda look there from time to time for years.

I'm still here.

@RollFizzlebeef Are you still there?

Still nothing.

Nothing changed? Pathetic.

Hey Razz! If you're reading this, I wanna say, thank you so much for the games! Love Ribbon and Wolf Tails were both really cute! You're very creative and very great artist!

<3 Whatever you're doing, I hope you take good care of yourself okay?

i dont really have any hope at this point lol

I was looking forward to qotp too

Or finally get their act together and finish it themselves. I guess I’m the blue lantern of this chat, lol

@Fenrir I really hope they hand it off to someone that can finish it, I was really looking forward to the Wolf Tails harem patch and The Queen of the Pack. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if they do the right thing and hand it off, or continue to be pricks and hold on to everyone's money while doing nothing game-wise.

I'm willing to wait and see what happens. If Razz is done with games, then maybe they'll hand off their projects to someone else who can finish them. Either way, I will maintain hope that someday we will see the games and patches that we were promised. I love Wolf Tails and I was really excited to see the harem update they promised, so we'll see what they do next.

Another year, another trying not to make any games promised.

They say that for 2 years. Or they lie, or just don't even know, but pretending to protect thefriend of them.
For my perspective, they equaly doing bulls$ht.

The last thing I heard about Razz was a tweet by @AikasaColle on September 22, 2022. They wrote: Aikasa Collective ~ 相傘収集（あいがさこれ) 🦋
@AikasaColle
I saw her 2 weeks ago. She's doing okay. Something very serious happened recently so she's trying hard to manage that. She is determined to eventually work on her games. I'll actually be helping with one of them. I just need to finish one more thing and I'll switch to her work.

I bought Love Ribbon and I cannot get the 18+ patch to work. At all.

I tried on both my PC and my Steam Deck and the game always tells me to 'check the website'... but it also says the DLC is installed.

Wolf Tails sees it's patch just fine.

Yeah, I'm thinking Razz just absconded with everyone's money and had no intention of giving us those games or the 'harem' DLC for Wolf Tails. It's even worse knowing that they're alive and actively choosing to do this, rather than something happening and forcing them to. If the latter were true, you'd think they'd make a post somewhere telling us that.

So yeah, I'm thinking they're just being ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and taking off with everyone's money. Don't buy their games, people! Don't support this behavior!

I saw that on Patreon before the page was yanked. If Razz wants to pull the plug, that's their prerogative, but I would like to believe that we might at least get that game.

i wish, from the looks of it it looked like it was about 90% finished before the vanishing

I'm still maintaining hope for "Let's seduce the heroine"

doubt she died, so most likely just bailed

She is either dead or just vanished from internet for some reason.
I don't like make guess, but NO post, NO update promise was given and that's it?
I am disappointed.

could it be an automatic thing? or was it manually done?

Still don't know what was changed.

Their last updates were about 2 mouth ago.

@Roll Fizzlebeef. yeah, i dont understand most of itch inner workings, but it seems to be a manual thing as their older titles have much older dates to them

yeah i get that (dont get starlight vega cuz its peak") and i get your frustrations, basically the entire fanbase has similar opinions from the niche posts ive been able to find questioning the sudden ghosting

@King Of Strangeness

Really? Well, at least there's an update on something. So they're still alive, at least. I'll have to go by that site and check, but I wish they'd update their Steam page too. Still, thanks for letting me know!

@King Of Strangeness

I've never been a patron of theirs, so I didn't know that, but I'll reword my earlier statement. They ran off with their patrons' money back when it was still up. And paying for the 3 games they 'completed' is up to the consumer. I say 'completed' because there was supposed to be DLC coming for those that we never got (like the 'group' ending for Wolf Tails), but at least the base games are complete. To each their own, and the base games are sort've okay (Starlight Vega has a serious problem, but I won't go into that here unless I'm asked), but all-in-all they're passable.

I'd just like it if they would let us know SOMETHING about what's going on. Or, if they are dead, then I'd appreciate it if someone told us that. What I'm mainly pissed off about are the ♥♥♥♥ they said was 'coming soon', getting us all hyped for upcoming content (Let's Seduce The Heroine, the aforementioned DLC for Wolf Tails, etc.), just to ghost on us.

i checked razzes itch. io site and saw that "lets seduce the heroine" was atleast last updated May 21, 2023, i think thats the most recent activity ever ive been able to find

i dont think its been up for some years now, but true, id rather say ran off with patreon money than people paying for whats out and finished though

@King Of Strangeness

Because of their Patreon. I don't know if it's still up, but I know people were pledging throughout all of this. We've even gotten comments here (or on various pages about their games) about people complaining about that. That's what I meant about running off with money. Even with their completed games, they've been promising DLC that never happened so people kept supporting them. The DLC never appeared and they never completed any of the games they said were 'coming soon'. So yeah, they ran off with people's money.

how would they run off with money... from complete games?

@King Of Strangeness

The only way I can think of is by people buying their (extremely limited) games here, without knowing any better. Sure, the games they did put here are good and all, but after the ♥♥♥♥ they pulled after that? I'm seriously advocating nobody buy their games. If I knew all this before, I never would've bought them. It's too late in my case, but hopefully if they lose enough money they'll post some kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ update, at least post something letting us know they didn't just run off with our money while flipping us the middle finger.

how would they squeeze more money out of people though? isnt their patreon down?

@Grizzy It's been over a decade, as far as I know. And not only have they not posted any updates on the games, they haven't posted ANYTHING . Hell, just something saying they're alive would be nice. But I honestly believe they just took everyone's money and ghosted. The only reason their ♥♥♥♥ is still here is because they're hoping to squeeze more money out of the people that don't know any better.

I legit came here to see if the creator was even alive. It's seems like they are but just haven't shared any updates on the games. My first thought was that they were dead because it's been 4 years without an update. Bloom has been sitting on my wish list for awhile now. Hopefully they can finish these projects and call it a day or make a statement that there alive and just can't finish them due to life events.

@Elleandra Yeah. Despite some people saying "They're definitely alive, just trust me on that", we've heard *NOTHING* from them in literal years. Not even so much as a response to all the posts saying that they're dead. They just took everyone's money and left. I'd highly recommend that people never buy any of their games on here, they don't deserve our support after pulling this ♥♥♥♥. Unfortunately, I had already bought their 3 existing games before I found out how big of a scammer they were, so I can't boycott them 'entirely', but I *can* recommend that no one buy any of the ones on here.

The games are nice enough, sure, but after what Razzart pulled they don't deserve the money or the attention. I understand making games is a long process, but they said that most of the ♥♥♥♥ they were working on was going to come out a decade ago, and have said absolutely *NOTHING* since then. No updates, no posts, nothing.

So are we officially giving up at this point? This is just my usual, annual check-in on this. Where the heck is Bloom :P

i mean thatd be sily to the point of comedy

Sometimes I wonder if all of our speculative and impatient comments are the reason they haven't come back.

as far as i know, which isnt far. but their friends on twitter said so when i asked

Is he alive?

i know they are almost def alive since i met associates on twitter who confirmed as much. anything more? not really, last i heard they were back to work on it, but after looking for that tweet again it seems to have been deleted

I really want to know if everything is going smoothly. I have been looking forward to those unfinished games for many years

@Kayla Yeah, I think it's safe to assume they're either dead, or they just ran off with people's money. Either way, I think everything's dead. Shame, too, as I was really looking forward to the 'threesome' ending they had planned for Wolf Tails.

wolf tails and love ribbon was wonderful
Sadly suppose there is no point asking when, why, are you ok any more

@Roll Fizzlebeef, thanks, yours is good too. Yeah, I know what you mean and I completely agree, it is frustrating. As I said before, I was a patron, so I do feel like I was left hanging. I just don't want to be one of *those* fans, if you know what I mean. I do agree though, if they're done, an announcement would bring closure to the whole situation

@Fenrir (nice name, btw) It's not that I'm expecting art on command, or that I think making a game is easy. I understand that it's a very labor-intensive process, and that it takes time to create something like that. *My* problem is, they've completely ghosted everybody. Even the people that've been supporting them through Patreon. Not one....single....post giving us an update on *anything*. Hell, they didn't even make a post saying they were still alive.

So it's not the lack of progress that's upsetting people, it's the lack of *updates*. If they'd just make a post telling us that they've had to put all game-related progress on hold because of such-n-such reason, we'd be perfectly fine with that because at least it'd be an explanation. Instead, it feels like they've just been taking people's money. And as soon as they got enough/got found out, they disappeared and left us holding the bag. :/

I'll hold onto my hope, but I'm not holding my breath either. If it happens, fantastic; if it doesn't, that's their choice. Art doesn't happen on command and if it was so easy to make a game, then any one of us would have done it already. I'll at least take solace in the fact that they're alright. That's some good news amidst years of uneasy silence.
