Ren'Py Bad Memories [v0.9.5.2] [recreation]

[colobancuz]

any new update guys?

Unfortunately no, on patreon and subscribestar post only for paid subscribers (7 April), in discord and Steam silence.
And it doesn't look like any of the subscribers will share the news here.

Yes, but the dev gets paid whether or not he does anything. People still pay
him ~$1500 each month even if he doesn't release anything so folks must
be happy about it otherwise they'd stop paying.

There is no way to know exactly how much he makes from this one game.
It has been on Steam for 4 years as well and sold 10k-20k copies according to the analytics.

Special render: Female Cop + Kat + Jill

News: Adding a little bit more to the update, and doesn't want to give an estimate yet.

 

[colobancuz]

Damn, for some reason I thought it was March news, and 7 April was not posted here. Thank you.

I doubt a bit that recreation will include pregnancy in this game.
As you can play a female MC, and in that case, it's a pure lesbian path. And it won't fit well on that route.
So unless, he create some exclusive contents for the male MC (and not just some sightly adjustments between the male and female MC route), I don't think there will be pregnancy in BM.

Maybe in your world such a payment model as monthly payments for lack of work is considered correct. But in our world most people are not ready to pay for idleness. If the author wants to earn money by developing games, then he should receive payment only for the finished product and upload his work, for example, to Steam. On the other hand, I am not ready to pay for games if they do not have my languages (Russian or Ukrainian).

For my convenience, it is necessary to make a translation into my language, it takes a little time. So I am ready to spend on the game renpy without my language no more than $ 15 for the finished product. Given that my monthly income is only $ 120.

No dev will not do translate for your need. It's a waste of time. You can do your own translation or wait that someone will come to mind.

right.

and what would you say about devs who make at best 1 update per year and not that long updates either? whatabout devs with 2-3 updates per year?

as for russian/ukranian language it's rare thing unless devs are from that area or were born there, you can try to get game translated by requesting translation mod here https://f95zone.to/forums/mods.41/

This game is on Steam, pay once and you'll get all the updates until completion. The price is like $6 or so. Sounds like a pittance to me.
About the language - all hope for the community (cxx pointed out where to ask), some fan of the game can make it. The developer will definitely not do it and it is useless to demand it from him.

You're right, that does sound like an insanely good deal!
I've never used Steam but seems like a great way to go. I've
never been a fan of patreon/subscribestar since it's monthly and they
just take it rather than making a 1 time donation. (I know I could
go set up an acct, subcribe to Recreation, go back and cancel, etc...)
but c'mon...what a pita.....

So, as you suggested, sounds like a killer deal... I just didn't know
it wasn't a monthly subscription like the others.


Cheers

Was the Jada anal only available on the male route (I don't play it) or was it a special render? That's the only difference I can think of.

I don't know, as I didn't play the male route (and don't have any interest at playing it).
So, I don't know if there is just 2 versions of the renders where you can see the MC, or if there is some exclusive contents depending of the MC gender.
Anyway, unless pregnancy is just something happening at the very end with just a couple of renders (which will probably upset prego fetishists who surely want sex scene with pregnant girls), adding pregnancy will add a lot of wok to do.
Not to mention that there are 5 main LI and a couple of other girls. Will the pregnancy will be limited to one girl? In this case, there will be complain from the player who want another girl pregnant. Every girls can become pregnant? it will be a true nightmare for the development of the game.

So, I'm not in recreation mind, but it seems to me that pregnancy is out of plan for BM.
Will fit more in WSIGTH, but will still require a lot of work unless pregnancy is unavoidable and the player can't choose which girl(s) will become pregnant (storywise, it will make sense that all the girls get pregnant).

Any news on the update? Last I heard something was back in early March.

 

[jackdanniels]

A frog, a squirrel, and an otter walk into a bar...
The continuation of the joke will be released in the next update

 

[LordWanze]

Now I really hope dev puts a short scene in where Mom goes to the doc with her daughter to get contraception... Obviously only on the FMC path, couldn't care less about MMC

Appeals to realism are hilarious - they're always brought up to justify why a game (or tabletop system) NEEDS to change to align with your preferences and imply that the status quo is objectively bad, and never that there should be a small chance that your character just randomly dies due breaking their neck falling from a tree, or getting hit by a car, as if the artistic license came with a subclause "but only if some random person interacting with the piece of art likes it!"

Suspension of disbelief refers to a state of temporary acceptance of something unbelievable, often within the context of storytelling or entertainment. It's the audience's willingness to overlook inconsistencies or fantastical elements in a story, allowing themselves to be fully engaged and emotionally invested in the narrative.

If you veer too far then you lose the above and everything turns to nonsense. You have to make your make believe shit seem like if fits within the reality of the story you are telling.
That said nothing we've been discussing is that important to the story nor has anyone implied that the game is somehow bad if things aren't implemented.
Try not to be disingenuous and make arguments in bad faith.

Ain't this thread truly about Bad Memories? People keep arguing about the obvious or about personal tastes over and over and over. This makes me remember a great horror movie where a family keeps fighting for no reason until they all kill themselves:
