last time i played this was over a year ago... this new update seemingly added nothing at all... except for massive text dumps for lore purposes(i think) (cant really remember if there was any text dumps a year ago.. but if there were i apologize) and a new level system with traits... which i like at least ... was this supposed to be remastered or reworked because of what i remember basically nothing changed... not even graphically wise... now i dont know the ins and outs of working on the ren´py engine... but of what the author added including the text dumps which nowadays could be done stupidly easily with AI ... i feel like 1y and a few months is too much for basically nothing at all...

A quick word, if I may, on some of the opinions that have sparked passionate debates here. I’d love to dive deeper or respond to each of you individually, but I’d really like to get back to working on Chapter 3 now that the remake is finally done—haha.

I completely understand all your opinions and preferences. Based on it's own experience, everyone sees things differently. As I’ve mentioned before, there are as many paths a game’s development can take as there are players. I do take your feedback into account, even if sometimes it requires a bit of imagination to find the constructive elements in some of it :)

That being said, you should know that the remake exists for a great many reasons, most of which, frankly, have nothing to do with you guys. A simple example: the original code of the earlier version of Apocalypse Lovers was quite chaotic and amateurish. I was just starting out, and I admit, I did’t have much skills at the time, cause my personality leans more toward the 'tortured artist' than the 'cold and pragmatic coder'. So, I couldn't see myself continuing with Chapter 3 while struggling with such a messy and unstable Ren'Py-Python structure. For too long, the code felt like a leaky boat hull that I was trying to patch with duct tape. I decided to dry-dock the whole thing and rebuild the hull entirely, to sail toward new horizons with more confidence. It took time, but it was the time needed to keep the project from really sinking, haha.

Anyway, I won’t rehash all the details here—there’s an I wrote that explains everything well enough, I think. I’m sorry if the game in its current form doesn’t fully meet your expectations, or if you liked it but wanted to see more of one thing or another. But I’m always listening and trying to do my best while juggling the other aspects of my life. And I hope that, despite any frustrations, you still found the experience enjoyable and entertaining.
And for the question of translations, why can't we change languages in the options anymore when it is offered?
Please specify if it is a bug and if it will be corrected or if the translations are no longer on the agenda.

Languages aren't implemented yet. This is a framework to help translators (and myself), as I will be working on the French version right away.

Les langues ne sont pas encore implémentées. Il s'agit d'un cadre pour aider les traducteurs (et moi-même), car je vais travailler immédiatement sur la version française.

I could never support this dev.
The game ends at the exact same spot as in the last update a year ago.
There is no new content from the beginning to the end.
The renders don't look different.
So he have used a year to "optimizing the code".

Do you have a save before the bug?
I delete all game files after playing an update to save space so I don't know which save file is relevant, but I can give the saves if you want to sift through them.

Interesting. That's the only error of this type you got? Or you had something similar with a music_marker_temp keyword?

Hmmm... I think that's the only issue - that I can remember. Early in the game I applied the crash fix you posted earlier so I was able to slide through that.

Unofficial Android Port of:

Apocalypse Lovers [Ep.1 Prologue v1.16]

MEGA

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
My android port has an alternative save location, the save will remain intact when you uninstall the game so don't worry about starting over. And my port has a textbox opacity slider and text size slider and added change name to the main menu.

if you like my ports, consider buying me a cofee or as to motivate me and get me going to do more ports, and help me pay for mega storage, thanks
Is there chance to make an update to game
