RPGM Ren'Py Completed Alansya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris [Final] [Heaven Studios]

[Terix3]

There was never loli planned, at most there was some possibility of exploring Ayame and Fujiko past - they would be younger but not loli in that. No matter anyway as that DLC won't be happening.

afaik, there are going to be 2 updates for this game. Then it is finished.

first one is the beach update. It was supposed to come out in december and got delayed. It will be the last "real" update for the game so I guess the devs try to polish the game as good as possible. This update will come soon.

Then there is a "shota twin" update. No idea what that is but they plan to release as a stand alone dlc, like the beastie dlc. It should come in Feburary but I can imagine it will be delayed a little bit.

If only that ... the first time (early October) Starke was asked about the beach patch he said the plan is October release. That is quite a miss estimation, It's basically half year for this patch and the July patch was delayed one as well. We will judge it once it's here but this is unexpected.
More then that they were supposed to be done with FI by this point if this gets delayed to February i wouldn't be surprised if shota patch will get scrapped/postponed.

I would like to know about their past.

So..

How exactly do you unlock Gym sex scenes? Going in gallery, it says to do it with low morality they will unlock.

Well here Morality is 0. Her charm is almost 100(97) and I yet to see any Gym sex scene. All she does is run on treadmill or swim in water and that is it. Or is it a certain route locked only thing? I mean, I already progressed to Fallen state, just how much more do I need to progress?

So unless the team changed something up it should be like this:

They are kind of tied to Sato/Melvin route and all their subroutes.
- Free roam to unlock the gym.
- Morality has to be below 40 for Ty (the yoga part) to show up.
- Do 5 of each class to unlock the respective scene's / Next is the second scene with the pool.
- After this Ayame needs to be in Fallen state / Next is the second scene with yoga.
- After this, you have one more with each, yoga/pool.
- After all the scenes there's a repeatable scene in the pool.

Thanks. That might be problem, I don't believe I did 5 with either person. When I went, I did one and then another with the other a few times; therefore rotating between both with each visit, but I can't recall if any total 5 on one end of that respective trainer.

I'll try later by just visiting one back to back to see if anything changes. I am already on Melvin Loyal Route and failed the Office Route, due to avoiding it/not wanting to get hardlocked. So I assume I am at that point to see them; besides again, the possible lack of base tally of repeated scenes with each respective trainer before the ero content.

The delays were mostly due to expansions of the summer patch and health issues across the team added to their new "we won't crunch time anymore" working 12+ hours a day 6 days a week mentality which honestly they adopted too late in my opinion considering how ungrateful most people that give them shit and yet don't even support them are.

Most of the supporters don't mind because experience tells us that:

1) Whatever they release, as usual will be better than anything else out there.
2) It will have more content in one patch than most full games out there.
3) We receive news from the developer on a regular basis on Discord and there's a 1~2 hour podcast almost every week.
4) We're constantly being updated with the state of development and receive new high quality CG's almost every week.
5) They are working on 3 games at the same time, technically 4 because the shota patch will have nothing to do with the core of Fleeting Iris.

Even if you disregard all of the above:

TL;DR: Starke said in the last podcast that the summer/final Fleeting Iris patch would come out soon and then they would 100% work on the Shota patch which will come out whenever it has to come out.

 

[Terix3]

It's funny that every time you post anything in this thread it's to "crack the whip" as if the developer is going to read it or to instigate controversy. Conveniently you always seem to "not know" what caused the delays, it's almost as if you sugar pick which information to spread and which to hold to yourself.

Cracking the whip ?

Because i call them out on the delay ? It's not like they made a post apologizing for change of plans and that the patch will take much longer then originally intended will only come out in 2022. Nah they delay by one month , then again a month and another one every time saying the patch is almost ready. Due to nature of Patreon it is hard to give them benefit of the doubt here.

Let me reiterate. Don't make promises you can't keep, if people ask about release date but you don't know just say you don't know.

Cause of the delays - ultimately i do not care what is the cause for delays because i can't validate it. I have grown accustomed to 2-4 weeks of delay. You double that ... ok unfortunate turn of events happen. But beyond that .. yea.

Crunch - we have no way of knowing whatever they are crunching or not. Ultimately it's them that commit to certain release pace. If they can't keep it up that is fine as long as they communicate it. Another thing is the fact that they are working now on multiple games now and i'm sure they said that the other game won't impact FI.

Interestingly neither the delay or reduced pace warranted a dedicated post on Patreon - the info is "hidden" behind podcasts. Meanwhile when someone posted about dev death here without any tangible source provided Starke made post on Patreon about it same day. This also addresses your claim that what we say here doesn't reach the developers.

You blame me for "sugar picking information" and what are you doing?

The discord lacks any sort of discussion about the game, at most people ask about difference between patreon and steam version.
"We're constantly being updated with the state of development and receive new high quality CG's almost every week."
Starke posted in general channel : 2.11, 12.12, 5.01, 14.01. where only the last was an update about the game. There are 2 previews posted a month while earlier this year it was 3-4 per month.
"Podcast almost every week"... Last podcast Dec 27, before that Nov 16 ... almost .

It's funny that every time you post anything in this thread it's to "crack the whip"

I guess you are so focused on defending the game you only remember the times when we argued over the release practices of the studio but you failed to register my other posts. That's ok be white knight all you want but i'm not one. I can like the game and still criticize it.

Hello

A quick question about the routes , had a choice to do a particular route but the message says it would lock me into that route so i didn't , can you carry on with other routes after that which means i made a mistake or would that have excluded me from others

The recommendation is to always save before a route switch is made.
- And to answer your question, it depends on the route, but mostly if a route says it will lock you.... it will freaking lock you, meaning all other routes are excluded.

Here is a bit of help to get an overview:

 

[Ayame#1Fan]

I removed the part addressed at you because it's becoming more and more pointless to me to argue with strangers online, but since you took the time to write that wall of text I'll make an effort to reply to it.

7 years. 7 years delivering on their promises, 7 years releasing a game with over 300+ hentai scenes with the quality that they have, with the amount of work and effort that was put into that game, it's actually close to 8 now. They don't need your "benefit of the doubt", they have earned it from the followers, that's why it didn't "dip a lot below 3000$" as you said it would because the followers aren't as brittle as you are, they don't act bitter like you do and they aren't petty because every podcast, Starke explains why the patch is taking longer and among the reasons for it was heart issues, covid complications, etc. but most importantly, I am so happy they no longer kill themselves to release patches every 1~2 months because of ungrateful assholes such as yourself make it absolutely not worth it to work ten times harder than everyone else out there. You're getting what you pay for.

Let me reiterate. Don't make promises you can't keep, if people ask about release date but you don't know just say you don't know.

You don't know because you don't want to find out, you're just stuck on October and you're going to whine like a kid that was promised something in Christmas but didn't get the present he wanted. The reasons have been made clear for Patrons, if you don't know why the delays then it sucks to be you, I know and the other Patrons do as well.

Cause of the delays - ultimately i do not care what is the cause for delays because i can't validate it. I have grown accustomed to 2-4 weeks of delay. You double that ... ok unfortunate turn of events happen. But beyond that .. yea.

Your validation as well as your opinion is absolutely irrelevant.

Crunch - we have no way of knowing whatever they are crunching or not. Ultimately it's them that commit to certain release pace. If they can't keep it up that is fine as long as they communicate it. Another thing is the fact that they are working now on multiple games now and i'm sure they said that the other game won't impact FI.

Because it's hard to compare the amount of work they put in the game and the pace at which they work with every other project out there, right? How many teams do you know that release content at the pace at which they do? None? Then maybe they're crunching. Again, they communicate it, if you're poorly informed it's your fault, not theirs. If you really want to find out the reason for the delays just go on Discord and ask Starke directly instead of engaging on a petulant vitriol every post you make on this thread.

Another piece of info you missed because it was "hidden behind a podcast".

I won't even reply to the death hoax part, you're just.... ugh... just a sorry person.

God forbid they take a Christmas break. They should keep working on holidays because people like you make it so worth it!

Check the last time you came here to actually discuss the game. "Almost".

You won't "white knight" shame me for setting the story straight. If you want to criticize the game with facts then by all means but if you're going to get emotional and make up a bunch of lies regardless if there's malicious intent behind them or just out of misinformation then yes, I will "white knight", I will take white knight over gaslighting any day.

Does anyone know any news about the game update or any of the DLC?

 

[Zellemate]

Absolutely love this game so far. There is so much content already in the game, which is amazing. I just wish the progression was more simplified since the game doesn't really explain in detail how to access different routes or unlock new interactions. It feels like i'm looking at the guide longer than i am playing the game, if that makes any sense.
View attachment 1607874

Glad you liked the experience so far, I will take your critique on to Starke and rest of the team
I'm also sorry you used more time watching the guide then playing the game, I did try to make the guide to help new players since this game is MASSIVE and new players easily get lost in it.
- The guide is not an official walkthrough, and I hope when the team have made one it will be better then the current flowchart.
- I also do think Starke will try to help the player a bit in future version of the game when a route will split to get some information on to the player before it happens.(I talked to him about this a few times and this is something he is considering later on)

Anyway HF continuing playing!

Does anyone know any news about the game update or any of the DLC?

Next Friday(28) for summer patch. Shota DLC after!

 

[SholBlerk]

I don't know if this might be a spam question at this point (sorry if so), but what is the estimation for full conclusion of this game?
I'm waiting for it first before start playing the game, and the anticipation is very high.

 

[TotalDegenerate]

Next Friday(28) for summer patch.

Is the content for the main game finished after that one with only IF updates or is there more to come for fleeting iris aswell?

Everything involving Ayame (the MC) is technically finished all the routes have been finished all with endings.

The world story is still ongoing as I understand and is going to be supplemented in another game that's supposedly coming out this year involving 2 characters that were side/cameo characters from this game .

Hard for me to say precisely, Starke keeps saying summer patch + Shota patch is the last patch.
- But he does also say he want to go back at some point to do some of the incentive rewards for the game.
- However he have never said when, so take that with a grain of salt!

 

[cefepam]

Ingame it says that Robert and Ayame get married in 60 days. Is there a time limit that ends the game without you progressing in any route, or at least completing a route? I see ingame interactions where you can advance time and i'm worried that i might accidentally skip content.

There is no time limit, the story (or days if you will) only progresses by doing the key events in a main route.

In that case, wasn´t this thread supposed to be labeled as "completed"?
