RPGM Abandoned Angelica Origins [v0.6.2] [Kelo Games]

Wait... I'm also disappointed but I want to hear what he has to say about it... in the first part of his Patreon post he said he was studying Ren'Py... let's see what he has to say in the second part (hopefully we don't have to wait another 13 months to find out)

I wouldn't be surprised if he starts again from the beginning with renpy

If he wants to try to earn shekels from his game, he will have to start developing the game from scratch, or at least release a remastered version using the RenPy engine. This is necessary in order to attract potential new patrons, as the majority of his former patrons no longer trust him and are skeptical. Given that the market is oversaturated, it doesn't have much chance of achieving even minimal success, he will have to put in a lot of effort.

Honestly, it's no one's faults but his own.
Though I don't know if he ever addressed that he's busy with life, it's apparent he never made it clear enough that they hinder the development process to the point he won't be updating (or at least, as often) for a while. Now I don't expect him to immediately signal all sirens upon the first sign of hardship or even that he should tell us the detail like he's doing now, but if he gonna trace his personal problems all the way to the Covid days, I'm pretty sure it gives him more than enough time to judge whether these piling issues would cause him to miss deadlines and delay the releases.

Not to mention, if his sob story and plans for the future are that important, he would've just cut the shit and tell us everything in one post as there's no good reason to split into a two parter other than to garner sympathy.

I'm not sure if this version is definitively abandoned or if it will be completed independently of the dev's studies on Ren'Py... can anyone, if they know anything, enlighten me?

I don't understand this whole reset and starting over (for the third time) after completing 80% of the game... maybe in a few years a new engine will come out and there will be another reset... will we ever see the end of this tunnel? I think this is what the dev should explain instead... he just wants kudos for the work he's doing

I'm back after years, of course, I want to refresh my game and my motivations. All scenes and dialogues are ready, so it's not too long to port my game to Ren'Py.

This is a correct and reasonable decision, but it will require a lot of effort. Are there any plans to release the game on Steam?

I love Steam, so, why not.

Any expected date release on steam?

Let me release the game again first. If things go enough fine then we'll see.

Definitely better!

Hello everyone!
My RenPy learning process is going great, and I'm getting very satisfying results, despite some difficulty. I don't intend to make anything too complicated. I want the game to remain enjoyable and straightforward in its mechanics, focusing solely on the story and cutscenes. I'm also trying to be original wherever possible and not copy existing games. I'm also removing many "unnecessary" images that were only for dialogue scenes. These will still be represented with excellent character images, making the whole thing much more enjoyable than it was in RPG Maker. With RenPy, I have more freedom to vary clothing, hairstyles, expressions, and so on, without having to reproduce every single variation with sprites in RPGs or faces in dialogue boxes, which used to take up a lot of my time. The character models are the same, but they're all updated. I'm also setting the format to 1920x1080, rather than 1280x720. Angelica, from the first seconds of the game, will be able to change clothes, roam freely around the house, and turn on her PC to view extra content and scenes in the gallery. I'll also be adding the ability to perform other free actions, such as taking a shower, bathing, inviting friends over to study, playing console games, and... more. Hehehe.

In the two images in this post, I show you a selection menu as it appears in the game. Angelica's wardrobe features all the starting clothes, fully wearable with nice transitions. Angelica will replace new clothes throughout the game. Also, in the top right, you'll notice three clickable buttons that I literally struggled to add to the game and make work the way I wanted. The three buttons will display information such as Angelica's stats (as you can see in the second image - I clicked the first icon button to show you its content), upcoming quests, or simply what Angelica needs to do, and a third button will show the status of all relationships with other characters in the game.

That's all I'll say for now. I hope you're satisfied with my progress.
Mike.
