Yes and no. No, no gallery is necessary because I can use the Ren'py Extract tool to look at all the images I want. Yes, because I don't play every route, but there are individual events on some of these routes that I would really like to READ. I just don't feel like playing the game multiple times just to follow the Amber / Dylan story, for example. I know of course my problem. But I would like to have such a type of gallery function.

To a german, German may not sound too "rough", but to the rest of the world ...
Still, it's much "smoother" than its more northern sisters

He stated he lives in Germany. To my knowledge he has never identified himself as of German descent. Please correct me if I am wrong. Germany has many people living there from all over the world. There are many things to enjoy and it is a central location to western Europe so travel is much easier. Is he a German citizen? I don't know.he is German.

I agree his 'style' would get him fired if he worked for a business. It also completely violates the concept of under promise and over deliver. However, since I have always felt this was a late November (at best) or early December release it does not bother me. It is just par for the course.
Hmmm, wonder if the mods will delete this as well. I am sure it is off topic with the golf reference.

From what I have heard his Patrons wants the two side jobs dropped as they think that it takes up too much time but we shall seeI agree his 'style' would get him fired if he worked for a business. It also completely violates the concept of under promise and over deliver. However, since I have always felt this was a late November (at best) or early December release it does not bother me.

Yeah, that has been popping up again in conversation on Patreon. I'm just waiting on the comment, Don't listen to the haters and stay true to your vision. I still have no clue what his vision is at this time.

I would bust a gut if he dropped the side jobs or even DLC'd them (I.e. dropped). His steadfast, frothing at the mouth even, defense of Side Job #2 tells me he will never do this. I think he is too vested in the idea.
Now, the gallery concept, brings anew the discussion of 'Help'. A programmer would need absolutely no knowledge of his story to program a gallery capability into the game. L&P and the programmer could have a discussion of what type of Gallery he wanted (Specific scenes, unpublished scenes, scenes that ties to story lines for you to play from, whatever). The programmer produces the product and L&P gets to surprise, OVER DELIVER, to his fans. This could have been done, within days of his decision to include, if he had a team or at least someone to contract the task. He can focus his skill on the art.
Broken Record!
Hmmmm, reference to a team or a contract or records must be off topic again. It is so doomed.

I guarantee some of his vision is $$$$. I do not blame or deny him this. He deserves $$$$ for his work. I just wish he were not such a pain in the a$$ over it. If he were half the Dev Orb Origin is, as a person, this thread would lose 2k posts. How many Devs do you know that halt payments when they do not produce a product as planned? Just Sayin'.
Hmmmm, I am sure this has nothing to do with the thread.

As I said, I don't have a problem with the gallery. I have an issue with adding it now; when I reread L&P post, he said,
"0.150 will be the last update in the old format. After this update is finished I will start working on a Part II, where some new stuff will be available. Also a gallery mode. But I want to include some to this last version too (and some other tiny improvements), since it will be the last update of Part I."
He wants to add a gallery in Part II, but he only said "Some" for Part I but doesn't elaborate on what some is in his post with the exception of "Tiny Improvements." He needs someone who can communicate properly with him in English. I know his common language is German, but when he tries to communicate in English, it is hard to convey his thoughts properly.

I don't blame him for making money for his novel. My concerns are his communication skills and making statements that he falls through on for no reason given when he makes them.I guarantee some of his vision is $$$$. I do not blame or deny him this. He deserves $$$$ for his work. I just wish he were not such a pain in the a$$ over it. If he were half the Dev Orb Origin is, as a person, this thread would lose 2k posts.

His reasoning has never made any sense and it maybe an idea to hire someone to deal with the correspondence from people,I mean they couldn't do any worse than L&P already has

I'm still having a hard time believing this statement exists. There's been zero improvement in the time between updates despite cutting from full to half to third day updates. How (in)credible is this: "... all the last times I hit the release into that time span ..." Moving the goal posts, I'd say.
My **interpretation** is that since this is the final installment of part 1 he wants to have closure with it and try to have the "best" version possible (because of, you know, perfectionism...). Hence adding the gallery in (my interpretation of) his view is going to make the first part "complete": people can play it, go back to each event (assuming that's the kind of gallery) and so on. That's what I think he has in mind (and ca va sans dire I could be very wrong).
A replay gallery would be nice to have IMO, even in this version. If it is the case, I just hope it won't take too much. But it actually may require some work because he has to take into account all the variables used in a event, so double checking etc...
A simple gallery, even with just the best images from the game, or some new, or some of those who didn't make the cut is much less interesting IMO.
And, again, it can also wait in any case: he can release the update and later on a patch for the gallery.
And I think that for P&T it will less than the last time. There were a lot of dialogues in the last ones and sometimes a bit "technical", like for all the art history and the sex-ed explanations. Not to justify it, but I know for first hand experience that when you need to translate something that is not a everyday vocabulary it takes a little bit more effort. But then again we fall in the getting help thing, the usual discussions etc etc...
Anyways, for this release I think it won't take too long, it could even go 10% per day like for the 0.115 (18 Dec - 29 Dec). Or at least that's what we are left too hope

Actually, I would argue he is a politician. Seems totally like a Pol who has never worked a real job in his life, never met a deadline, never served a customer. He is his own boss. As long as the marketplace does not hold him to account then tada! This is what you get.
Hmmmm This one won't last a day. Not as venomous as someone else's posts that never get stricken. The mods are rollin in already.

To be from Belarus is probably a good thing given who is in charge there. Just Sayin'.

What a conspiracy theory, I'm from Russia in general, but you can leave freely from anywhere if you have money
