VN Ren'Py Abandoned This Time [v2306] [ApocalypseToday]

[Skeltom]

The game takes a more cinematic approach than other games. Think about when watching movies, we generally don't see person A pick up the phone and say "hey want to meet up and do something", instead when you enter the scene you make the assumption that the characters have done so. Unless that phone call has real substance, it would just be a waste of the player and the developers time to program it in in my opinion.

Regarding the hacker, it's not a character we have been properly introduced to yet. Again taking the cinematic approach, the story isn't linear. There are prologues appearing throughout and the hacker will feature at some point.

The game is now and will always be played through the perspective of our MC however there are scenes where the MC's body and now face will feature. There are several reasons for this but mostly because it's incredibly difficult to portray a scene, the background, mood and general feel for a location without showing the characters within. So to answer this aspect, the game WILL feature more third person content, but first person content is the main focus.

I can understand that I guess. But at the same time when you are watching a movie you are doing just that, watching a series of events unfold as they would. But this is a VN where the MC and player are the same person in a way, you don't play a movie. Those scenes remind me of parts of DMD where F just randomly has whole events planned like the player already knows what's going on. They just seem off to me for something that is so interactive, I guess.

I know what you mean about making the scenes not show the MC but there are VN that do it just fine. I struggle with camera angles like that myself. I just hope it doesn't pull a 180 like some others and abruptly change from a POV a few chapters in. HS for example. Like I said, it seems okay so far and I'll keep my eye on it. I was just confused about the future plans of this one.

In my opinion this is a extreme dick move to your long time patrons. Patrons of the first hour have supported you to get the game good enough to be on steam and thats totaly fine for me. But, despite this fact force your patrons to get the game additional on steam is questionable.

All patrons got a free Steam key at the Steam launch and for a little while afterwards. Steam is now the only place the game is officially distributed so anybody playing the game should own it on steam. I appreciate I'm saying this on F95zone where clearly not all players own it on Steam but I obviously can't and won't adjust my Patreon tiers to accommodate piracy.

Piracy was not my point, not even remotely. I wasn't aware of your gifted steam key for patreons - if i had known that, i wouldn't have written my first post in the first place, sorry about that. My quoted part of your post has rubbed me somehow the wrong way, it sounded unthankful to the old patrons.

In the matter of piracy you have my full understanding, but we both know piracy can't be beaten, never

The problem with steam - in my case - is: Some moron on Valve has decided, that germany has no access to adult contend on steam. So this bans many potential customers that can only get the game through patreon/SS or piracy - most likely the latter ...

It's fine, I realise without the context it sounds like a dick move to make

Yeah the Germany issue is a PITA. I plan on launching across more platforms (itch.io, GOG etc.) when the game is completed. Itch.io didn't generate anywhere near enough income to keep hosting the game there in it's current format so it's just steam keys on there at the moment. When the game is completed there won't be tonnes of updates / bugfixes to distribute across platforms so it can go far and wide.

he did offer the key to people who were already patrons.

but i had to cancel patronage.

honestly i had no issue with the reasoning behind devs choice to move to steam. but i didnt wanna set up an account for yet another thing i'll probably never use and i dont think i could download the game on the patreon site so it just seemed like my patronage was just a waste for me.

however it was mostly my fault for not wanting to go to steam though.

Hi, I just booted up 0.2.7 and my saves show up but won't load - they all give me An exception occurred crashes. Neither Ignore nor Rollback helps. Previous saves are from version 0.2. Is it just me? Something I should be doing differently?
Thanks for any help - enjoying the game thus far.
