What do you think about re-playing it from scratch since the very beginning?
Last update I played was 0.36. Should I wait more, in your opinion?
Honestly, I think this "game" is a lost cause since years.
That seems like a personal preference question. For me, I
tried to replay the main story and the Lashley story this update, since both should have had a lot of extra content since last I played. Gave up when the first day at the office broke my saves… So no, I would not recommend re-playing (or even playing) this update simply because of how broken it is.
I feel like the developer for this game feel into a trap where, as the game got bigger, it took more and more time to fix things with each update. I'm no programming wiz, but the little bit I have done tells me that without a full on team, there is no way this game will get done anytime soon.
It’s less that there’s much to fix, but that not even basic care is taking while programming.
So often bugs are so obvious that any amount of even surface level play-testing would have found them before the release… yet they are released and kept unfixed for months regardless. Heck, even content-wise there are still bugs/issues that should have been added years ago. There are completed dialogue options that don’t show up because the dev didn’t change the link from the "under development" message to the actual content. There are art assets which have (according to the logs) completed more than a year ago but the game still has the temp art…
That is pure truth, since the start he barely fixed anything, that is why the coder he hired has to fix and re-fix things and i doubt the coder will reach the point of saying "i managed to fix most bugs", the game is in a point would be better start over with a fresh new coding, since he has already some content done he can remake the story and fill gaps of events that has too many of them.
Pretty sure there is no dedicated coder. There’s a "coder" who codes in the poses for the sprites during dialogue, and then there’s a coder who shows up once every blue moon but usually does nothing for most updates.
Is anyone else having an issue where none of the saves take you to the point in the game you actually saved at?
Every save after the coffee run was corrupted on my end. Those before work fine.
played a bit of the update that introduced the copy machine minigame and some office coworkers i dont recall caring about and dropped the game after running into a game breaking bug about 10 minutes in. Can anyone tell me if this game is worth playing yet? Obviously the bugs never get better, but do they still completely halt all progress?
If that game breaking bug was your save files breaking, then it is still around. Apparently, it wasn’t considered important enough to fix…
