Question since it's been a good long while that I bothered to play this game. Have they bothered to adapt the Standalone DLC's into the main game or are they still separate?
try this link its the latest ver 1.15g not like the one hereI tried this game...and crashes after the solution about the fullscreen it crashes befor the startscreen (script text cache fix line 132: NameError);
main game: Resource Graphics/Characters/Vehicle is missing
Script Mithran Text Cache line 132: NameError
My solution....delete and be done...there are so many other games without problems to play.
Did they even add new scenes to renpy version ? Or animated scenes ?Oh, yes, I so want the ren'py version.
Scenes and animations are the same as the RPGM version. CGs quality is upscaled (x1.5 / 960x720 ). There are new backgrounds for every location and reworked minigames to fit the engine.I have a question about the renpy version. Are there animations or are the CGs in better quality? like hd or larger than the rpg format or is it a simple port to renpy without any type of visual improvement (it is a serious question, depending on what is answered, I will buy it or pass on it because I already have the RPG version) and even after 2 years I'm still waiting for someone to update it to the final version and there it is like 4 or 5 versions below and without exclusive content
I see but that doesn't matter if I buy a game I want the full version up to the hotfixes but I don't blame anyone but myself for buying it without information so this time before spending the money on something from this developer I want to know and thank you for answering me Even so, I think I remember that the Patreon version had exclusive content that was not in the complete game that was sold in stores but maybe I was wrong, at least in the guide it provided, there was a Patreon stamp in some scenesScenes and animations are the same as the RPGM version.

Iirc RPGM version was updated months ago in every store. The only actual difference between Patreon and Stores versions are hotfixes.
Do you know if the Beast & Shota DLC linked here is the latest versions?try this link its the latest ver 1.15g not like the one here Mega
Renpy version is already available to patreons/subscribestar supporters who have supported for x amount of time, meaning its not available to new patreons right away, they need to sub for at least one full month. And it won't be available for public.Do we know if there will be a public release for the renpy version?
It was a bit different. Dev always promised the full game to every buyer.Even so, I think I remember that the Patreon version had exclusive content that was not in the complete game that was sold in stores but maybe I was wrong, at least in the guide it provided, there was a Patreon stamp in some scenes
the dlc has not been updated yet so the ones here are up to dateDo you know if the Beast & Shota DLC linked here is the latest versions?
Then don't.If that's true, they're definitely making it to my "I'm never supporting these guys" list, that's for sure.
Not what this is and the explanation wasn't hard to understand.I have an intense dislike of "you have to be subscribed X months to see benefits" type schemes.
Not what this is and the explanation wasn't hard to understand.As I said, IF what the guy I quoted said is true, then I'd be adding them to that list. Those types of schemes are a kick below the belt for anyone that newly discovers the studio and wants to honestly support them for whichever reason. Say you find the current game on Steam, which is already well behind in updates. You then track it to their Patreon and see a bunch of stuff and decide to support them. You pay in, and then when a post with an updated version in a new engine pops up, welp, sorry, no luck for you fam, you haven't supported the game long enough... and that's not stated up front anywhere either.
Then don't, especially because it's frowned upon / against the rules.That's what I believe anyone would call a dick move, because the person in this particular example is entirely blameless.
There's more to it than that, but this is hardly the place to extensively discuss my dislike of various Patreon schemes and whatnot.
No fake information, the information was explicit, you read the part you wanted.Now, if what you're saying is true, then nothing of the sort is happening and the guy I was responding too had fake information. No harm, no foul and all that jazz.
Mmmmmhmmm...Then don't.

They worked on a Ren'Py version which their plan was to sell on Steam so that the guy who did the port would get money for the work he did for reasons extensively explained in this thread. Everyone who wants it has to get it on Steam with the exception of very few people.
Starke decided to give everyone who has been a Patreon for a while an early version, the reason why he did it that way is because if he left the version up on Patreon, one of the pirates here would've subscribed, downloaded, unsubscribe and upload it here making the guy who made the port lose a lot of money. That's what the actual dick move is. This way some people were "surprised" with a reward, the others can still get it in the originally intended way, no one was harmed.
Often, the devs don't bother if people share their game after a while, but nope, there always has to be a cunt who leaks on release day. The funny part is that Starke told me they're making a protection system that you have to be a subscriber or own the game on Steam to be able to login and play and considering their last asset protection took many years to break, people will no longer be able to pirate their games, and all because of the "heroes" that leak shit on release day! Remember to thank them then as well.
Not their issue here. They make enough money between all their platforms to sustain themselves at least. Patreon and Subscribestar wise they are not making a lot because it doesn't attract a Western audience but they more than make up for it on Steam just on China alone.Mmmmmhmmm...
Look. I get it. The amount of money they make between Patreon and Subscribestar is nowhere near enough to fully cover the costs of a proper studio. Depending on where these people live, it might barely be enough to cover a single person's full living expenses, taxes, insurances, etc. It includes all those costs that a lot of people don't think about because they work for more established companies and said costs are covered by the company/state-organization/whatever.
I get it. They need to make money if they want to keep pumping out content.
However.
Absolutely and unequivocally wrong.The fact of the matter is that the majority of people that don't buy the product and pirate it... will not buy it any sooner or faster because it has anti-piracy measures and may in fact opt out of ever buying it depending on the measures in question. Hell knows I don't want to have this sort of product listed in my Steam list, and I definitely don't want to need to have some shady log-in stupidity to get hentai. I'm hardly the only one and plenty of people will be put off by that sort of thing.
Once again you can't tell the difference of why this doesn't work for AAA games and why this doesn't apply to small niche markets. One thing is a few tens of thousands if that many, players on a porn forum trying to crack your game, the other is countless people who can make a profit out of cracking your game, doing it but it's besides the point here.I'll honestly be VERY surprised if their sales increase in any genuinely significant manner if they pull off what you're saying. Generally, it didn't work for any of the other people that tried it. It didn't work for EA either, and they invest ridiculous amounts of money in their anti-piracy bullshit.
Quality is massively subjective, especially when it comes to hentai. However, Heaven Studios has released enough stuff where at this point if you didn't want to support them, you probably weren't going to anyway.Fact of the matter is, I try to support as many artists and projects as I can, but at the end of the day, my ability to consume media vastly outpaces my income. It's a reality for pretty much most people where I live. It's even worse in some other parts of the world. Such is life. I wouldn't have even known about video games, much less hentai, if not for piracy. A lot of people like me will just be gated out of content that they couldn't buy anyway. Some might have made the effort to pay for it later, some, like me, may decide that perhaps our limited funds are better invested in creators that aren't as focused in maximizing their profit, rather, you know, focusing on the quality of their products.
They would be profitable regardless but not less than if people could pirate their game especially since they can often afford it for these prices:There's a reason why The Elder Scroll Series became stupidly, ridiculously well known and profitable, even though for all the time while Bethesda was still Bethesda, they put about as much effort into preventing piracy as most people do into critical thinking... that is to say, none at all.
Right, they're scummy because they want people to pay for their work. Landlords are scummy because they want people to pay rent. People in stores are scummy because they want you to pay for groceries. Imagining people actually wanting you to pay for stuff. Such scumbags.Basically, if Heaven Studios have issues earning money, the majority of those issues won't be because of people pirating. They'll be because their content just isn't as amazing as they're hyping it up. And at the end of the day, whether it is or it isn't is a huge matter of subjective enjoyment. As for me, well, as I said, there's plenty of other, less scummy creators out there that can benefit from my limited funds.
Everything the same but probably less buggy.Did the team mention whether the Ren'Py version planned for release on Steam will be the same as the Patreon version, or will it have missing scenes/routes?
