Fucking hell... this thread is just stuck on repeat... 
- Thread starter recreation
- Start date
Every thread is, because there's always someone to say updates don't come often enough.Fucking hell... this thread is just stuck on repeat...

Yes actually, but still it is not that bad. As you said earlier: better to get less often, but bigger updates than more often, but smaller ones. We just need to be patient and let recreation work. He's doing great so do not adjust him.
I want to become a patron, but I need to wait a little bit to get some money. As you know situation in my country (Ukraine) is not good right now, so...
Briefly: be patient and support recreation any way you can, because he deserved it <3

And sometimes you're surprised. I've tried Desert Stalker recently. The game is in version 0.08c, but ho boy does it have a lot of content...
My New Family is also a good example, as it's in version 0.15 but divided into two games, the first one having... 9 chapters, if memory serves ? I've had it for over a month and still having finished it... It's so freaking long... So much content...
All that to say, sometimes, low numbers hide an actual shit-ton of content, but there's not way to know. We'd need some brave warriors to try and tell how much content there actually is.

There are many different versioning schemes and really is up to the development team how to handle it. I remember a company at one point skipping from version 7 to version 10 because of marketing reasons.
Anything less than version 1.0 is usually considered an alpha release. In the x.y.z scheme, x = major, y = minor, and z = release. There's also a fourth, x.y.z.g, that could represent the build number.
Traditionally in software development, x will be incremented to 1 for the first stable release. It might further be incremented when their are major changes to the underlying code (or even story in this case?). y is incremented when there are new features and typically is stable. z is incremented when there are bug fixes. g is incremented often internally during the development process and is usually not stable.

Yeah I need to right more reviews now that I know how to do it. A lot of the ones I see I really don't agree with. They seem written by people who are way too demanding. But to each their own anyway. I'm not too hard to please, and so far I'm still having fun with MNF.
Or I'm just a sucker for more laid back stories that follows a life more than "exciting events".

I reviewed MNF a while back and gave it 3 stars, but now that I've played much better games (like Bad Memories) I probably would reduce it to 2 stars. A real snooze fest with no good story progression...err...really no good story at all.

Some games go for a big over-arching story, higher stakes, etc, and other go for more low-key, simple stuff, people living their lives. Slice of life is a valid genre.

Sure, but I can only sit through so many in-game days doing the same shit over and over again. It's just monotonous. You can still have slice of life while having a good story.

The version numbers here are quite often completely meaningless as there is no standardization for them. Some 0.12 have far more content than other 0.80 versions. I just look at the changelogs, you can use them to estimate the actual content based on the render count much better than any obscure version numbers.

It's mainly because it's dependant on the amount of content planned rather than a specific amount of hours. That's why, even to games of the same quality, might have you play a 0.10 with 12 hours of content and the other having 4 at version 0.8. If the second one is planned to be a short experience, then it's logical.

Probably one of the commun 3D character creation softwares? Don't know the full list.
Though, this is hardly the thread to talk about that, if nothing else out of respect for recreation.

Honey Select, it's the same I use for Tainted Heritage (weird shit).

Honey Select is more of a game on it's own, it has a scene creator, that's what we (devs) use to create our own games. It's realtime, that's why it looks the way it looks, but this also means there's absoluely no rendering needed, so a lot less time investment.
If you like a good mystery story and haven't tried it yet: Weird shit is going to happen might be something for you.

Certainly. From my understanding people used tons of mods to get more out of it so there can still be big differences. Check out Pale Carnations if you haven't already. That's probably the best looking Honey Select game on the site.

Just played until the EOC, I hope we get more soon, it was amazing, I felt annoyed by Ward on the MC's behalve, so that's a sign of good writing.

If you like mysteries, did you try The Intoxicating Flavor? In case you didn't, give it a try.
- Just a warning though - The developer had some problems with proofreaders at the beginning. The English gets better along the way, though.
