I never thought this game would come back!

As much as I enjoy it (even with it's many, many flaws), aspects of the game design do have a few things that drive me crazy. One of which is the single choice button to click to advance things...

So, I made this script (specifically for this game actually (but end up using it in most renpy games)) a long time ago to change that! If you like the way it is, then by all means enjoy! But if you'd like a little quality of life boost (and a few less buttons to click), then... enjoy?

The year is 2035.

Most people doesnt know the name, but I do. Bad Bobby Saga v1.1.2.4.6.5.5.0a Demo just released.
Since I arrived on Mars, humanity new home, Ive been waiting for an event like this.
I will empty my cosmic founds with this golden project faster than I will empty my balls after the download.
Thank you for existing RAinces, hope you raised enough funds to finish this build before we meet in the afterlife.

I rather wait another couple of years until the demo is finished, but good to hear that dev pretends to still work on this game

I don't know if anyone has already made it available... I'd like the "full or partial saves" of version 1.0.

Thanks in advance. (y)

I formatted my PC and forgot to save my game. Version 1.1 saves are not supported. At least this save already has the pool. (y)
Yeah, there is some confusion about it, it's just a "demo" for the upcoming update, and there is no guarantee that the next update to v1.1 full release will carry over saves, or if it will be a "chapter 2", or another "Season" type thing.

If it's built into the current v1.0 (the demo shows last time on so very well might not be), should be 4GB-5GB.

There is something I don't understand, why the developer made the dream scene of the boy fucking the mother and yet the game doesn't have much mother content.

Your guess is as good as mine (or anyone else's for that matter) if you mean for the demo? I'm guessing the demo is proof of life type thing, to show, "yes, we are working on the game, this is just a teaser of what we have planned".

There was another comment saying each update will be a specific path for each character, will these updates come out? Will they stick to the plan? No clue.

I'm just going by what is posted here, and what was posted on Patreon, only time will tell :coffee:

i think we should give him a chance. If I remember right, he was very green at first and learning the ropes. Then covid was hurting everyone. Yes, he restarted over and over. But some of those was render updates because he started to get better, and the early renders wasn't that good. The story was also moving slow, but if the demo is sign that he is going to progress the story faster, then hell yeah. Break them and move the story faster. No more starting over. If you can stay with it and actually finish this story people will trust him. If he disappears again for long time or doesn't follow thru, then no one will support you or trust him again. Past few years we lost alot of developers, so if he is back and trying lets see what he can do. just my two cents

"Outrageous" is a massive exaggeration and an actual outrageous display of self entitlement on your part. RAinces made $413 last month and that's BEFORE everyone took their cut. That's a pitiful, insignificant amount of money, dangerously close to working for nothing, something VERY few can afford. I'm OK with him doing whatever it takes to survive and avoid completely killing this project. When he'll make $5000 I'm willing to reconsider but not before (Note: His max income ever was $1500 with an average of ~$800).

RAinces does NOT owe anything to anyone and least of all to freeloaders. Anyone dropping a coin his way is a gentleman and a scholar and should be fully aware of the sum total that gets collected every month because that amount is clearly not enough to ask full-on commitment from anyone so expectations should be tuned away from certainties.
The problem with takes like this is it ignores the economics of how most daz games are made.

The cost is almost all frontloaded - you need the gpu and a sufficient library of assets. And for sure, that's a non-trivial cost. However, once that cost is sunk, the capital cost going forward is extremely low, it's a bit of electricity and almost all labor - low labor at that.

I feel like most people defending devs haven't played around in daz themselves. It's 90% having a beefy computer and a large model/poses/environments/clothing library, and maybe 10% skills which develop over time (better posing, better camera framing, better lighting techniques, better writing). That's not to say the initial investment along with better directorial skills aren't commendable, they are - but once that initial investment is done it's extremely easy to crank out image after image.

In a nutshell, I'm saying you should be far more sympathetic to devs struggling to get off the ground - who havent had the capital for a full "buy-in", and far less sympathetic to those who have their setup and rest on their laurels.
