i bought the game on steam.
trading cards when?

They are actually long done, same for wallpaper and backgrounds, but I can't release them without batches, which I haven't done yet, because steam has some absurd dependencies for them...

What built in update system? The only thing I know about is the itch integration.

I was wondering the same thing too.......

 

[Avaron1974]

I just let Steam handle my updates, saves me having to remember anything.

I just turn on Steam and BAM, updates.

It's like convenient magic.

Not sure if it's what they're talking about but the dev of deviant discoveries has an updater built in. (no idea on how they do it though)

I mean this system here:

You must be registered to see the links

It will let people download fixes and changes without redownloading the entire thing. You can add this in the Screens.rpy as I did here:

# screen main_menu():

    # # This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    # tag menu

    # # The background of the main menu.
    # window:
        # style "mm_root"

    # # The main menu buttons.
    # frame:
        # # style_group "None"
        # style_group "mm"
        # xalign .5
        # yalign .66

        # has vbox

        # textbutton _("Start Game") action ShowMenu("Start_Game")
        # textbutton _("Load Game") action ShowMenu("Load_Game")
        # textbutton _("Scene Gallery") action ShowMenu("Game_Gallery")
        # textbutton _("Preferences") action ShowMenu("Options_Menu")
        # textbutton _("Check for Updates") action updater.Update("http://examplewebsite.com/gameupdates/updates.json") # This is where the updates are stored.
        # textbutton _("Quit") action Quit(confirm=True)

And you have to add this line to your Options.rpy to enable this:

    ## Adding the updater
    build.include_update = True ## Enables online download of updates. FALSE means it won't be added to the build even if and won't work.
    
    build.classify('**~', None)
    build.classify('**.bak', None)
    build.classify('**/.**', None)
    build.classify('**/#**', None)
    build.classify('**/thumbs.db', None)

Hey @
recreation

Just a small suggestion about future updates and such: why don't you use the built-in update system of Ren'Py? It is easy to setup and use. Just a thought

It requires a web server, doesn't it? Rec doesn't have a website AFAIK.

 

[BeenThroughHell]

my friend told was there was a Female MC for this game. i must try it tehee

Yes, you need your own hosting - and it doesn't support HTTPS.

 

[recreation]

and it doesn't support HTTPS.

That alone is the nail in the coffin for me

It's 2022, what do you expect?

Free choc chip cookies.

I'd expect renpy to go with the standards like open gl 4 and... Oh wait

Well, that was disappointing, 8 month wait to have more Katey story to be cock blocked and blue balled, and then a tiny update to boot, how not to give people what they want, and then just boom right to fucking Rachel with no logic at all, and now to wait until next year for an update.

If not for the fact it is pretty much 1 update a year at this point I would.

You can't rush quality.
And well, while I'll agree that the updates are on the short side, with a long update cycle, they're beautiful, the story is very far from the usual shit we see.
It's one of the very few well worth the wait in my opinion, but I can also totally understand people loosing interest with a long update cycle, can't please everybody

My best advice, is to do what I do with such games, just wait several updates, then play those in one go. While it won't fix the waiting time in anyway, it'll stop you from thinking about it that much at least
