RPGM Abandoned Bones' Tales: The Manor [v0.20.0a] [Dr Bones]

[TrialRagnarok]

Hi, i was thinking play but i saw walkthrough on main threat is not updated. Is there any updated (up to date) walkthrough i can get?

Not really. The other one besides the one listed in the OP is this but it hasn't been updated for 0.17.3, last update was for previous version. Your best bet would be to use the guide to get the gist of all the scenes available, check the bottom of page 143.

Thanks for heads up. That one is updated?

I don’t understand why Dr. Bones makes so much non-canon art and remakes 90% of scenes instead of just making new content for the games. It feels like he does so much work but makes no progress because of this. I mean that last The Manor update wasn’t even worth playing because there was so little new content, and after 6+ months too. On behalf of the fans, I’m asking you to please make new, canon scenes if you’re going to use your magnificent calcium-fueled talents to draw stuff anyway.

EDIT: I was actually going to explain (again) why I'm reworking shit... but I got bored in the middle of the explanation. And I think the picture explains it better.

I never played this game and read all rework comments. You gonna continue rework story etc? Or you finished? If you gonna continue do that im thinking waiting until you became happy with them and start add new things instead of changing old ones. I mean its good you want improve your game but honestly i dont like it when i need to play reworked game again and again from begining etc...

Suddenly a lot 2d h game devs decided to make reworks, revamps or redux.
Jamliz does with SexNote (doesn't look good)
DC with Summertime Saga (looks better in most of the time)
Team Bieno with Amity Park (looks horrible because artist changed and can't duplicate art of the show, danny phantom)
You with Manor (which looks better)
Even if youre remake is the best (compared with the artists above) still the problem is, it ensures that to little progress is made in a big time frame.

Usually remakes are done years after a game is complete not in between development...
Btw isn't it better to just leave the old art like it is (for now) and do the rest with the new art and as soon as the game is finished simply replace the old drawings with new ones and bring out a kind of definitive edition with a few new scenes ?


Dc said in one of his streams: "It's a mistake to start a second game if the first one isn't finished".

Anyways as far as i know it took you so long because of the patreon purge, but you have that under control again through subscribestar, which lets you design the game as you want & then you apparently still had a lot in your private life to do but also that has subsided, according to one of your posts.
Hope that the update shedule gradually comes back to normal

Another mistake is starting a second game if the first one isn't finished (that's what dc himself said in one of his streams)

In a serious note... The thing here is the same old issue of people having little to no patience when it comes to porn games... people want the quick reward and most time don't even care about content quality. Also, those same people often forget about what it means for a project to be STILL IN DEVELOPMENT... This is not a finished game and the updates are not "chapters".

And yes, there are several reasons why devs make reworks: Artist change, Method changes, mechanic changes, etc.
But the main one is quality improvement. I can't speak for everyone... but if a "fan" is upset with a dev/artist trying to make his/her project look pretty then he is not really a fan... he just want the fap and move on. And I get it, it is in fact a porn game... But there is a reason why I decided to make an RPG instead of a VN, and why I decided to improve the art, code and overall game mechanic... and the reason is that I want to be proud of my work and make it pretty and entertaining as possible (under my own expectations, nor other people) and not just make a "profitable" product. I know it sound pretentious as heck... But I'm not in this line of work to become rich, If I were, I'd follow the "Summertime saga" formula and get loaded.

With that said, I guess you'll understand that I really don't care about what DC or other devs say is or isn't a good idea... because... "I do what I want.." and if a "fan" don't like my way of doing things... well.. there are a lot of other devs and games to follow. And lots of them are willing to bend under the "fans" pressure.


If someone is tired of my reworks, I suggest to forget about me and my project for a while and play it when the game is finished.

At the end of the day someone I know did say to me "you do anything to make your work better even if you had to redo it many times", not gonna lie your rework on the old scenes are very great specially the recent scenes with the Merchant and I'm enjoy it better than the old one so feel free do what you think it must/need to be done to make the game better. Of course I'm still want to see story progression of the game, new feature and action we could do to all the girls, new areas to explore and new girls,.... so hopefully to see you balance thing out with the rework and still continue adding new things even if they are small just like you have done all the time, love you and your game always Doc

Hey, a little help?? I don't know how to get Doyle's ring. I select the chest where is supposed to be but it doesn't open it. It's suppose to grab it during alone or with him??

That's weird. By any chance, did you modified your savefile beforehand? Otherwise, try exiting the game and load the latest save. If nothing works, send me your save in .zip or .rar mode so I can check it.

I do not modified anything. In fact, I start the game all over again for the update 0.17
Here, I send you my save

Hold up... 0.17? Latest version is 0.17.3. I mention this cause the first release of 0.17 was buggy, no one reported an issue with getting the ring but just in case, what specific version are you playing? You can see it hovering from side to side in the main menu, atop the logo.

0.17.3

Welp, couldn't find a fix to it, tried to have Doyle (which is required when you first unlock the attic) at different times of the day, no luck, but it still puzzles me why go through the motions of unlocking the attic and not check the chest the first time you enter xD my guess is that there's a "hitbox" that allows you to interact with it when first entering (I mean, that's the whole objective of unlocking the attic) but after you exit the area, that hitbox disappears, rendering the chest useless as there's no way to open it. Granted this is just what I THINK it's happening, not what IS happening.

On a side note, something rubs me the wrong way... the pills are still in your inventory but you already switched them with the protein ones in Martha's drawer... not sure what happened there.

So, you started on 0.17.3 or ported a save from 0.17 to 0.17.3? Sorry for repeating the question but it really is important, any save from an older version than 0.17.3 has bugs regardless.
