Cropping is the one big type of editing that I actually do. I know there are other pack makers who talk about editing out watermarks and sigs and such, but to me those are way too much work. Cropping is easy. As for Portraits, if I don't have 5-10 naked and another 5-10 non-naked for each pack, I always copypasta and then crop down images from the pack to make those.Portraits and profiles are different files, since Ren'Py does not have an advanced AI zoom feature. And most people don't crop portraits based on profiles, because it's a lot of work.
There exist a handful of packs based around a race instead of around a character. Someone did a blue slime-girl pack a good while back, and I know that a couple of WOW races have had packs made. And my recently released Pikachu-girl pack would fit in there. And I keep thinking of doing an ES Argonian pack some day. (Katia from Prequel satisfied my urge to do a Kahjit pack). But there are very few like this. Single digits worth. And I don't think that's what is being referred to here.Wait, wait. Different characters? Can you provide an example screenshot? The whole point of girl packs is that it's the same character, but different pictures of her.
Sure. This is the same character, I only pressed end day and this is the way their picture changed.Wait, wait. Different characters? Can you provide an example screenshot? The whole point of girl packs is that it's the same character, but different pictures of her. The only times this is not the case is if the pack maker fucked up, or you have default pictures enabled, which are generally anonymised, even if hardcore fans can still occasionally recognise a few of the pictures.
With 0.2 there are added ways to do sub-folders in the girl pack area. You have to name them in a particular way to have the game look at them as organization and not as individual packs. With 0.15b you need to put every separate girl pack right at the top level directly under the "girls" folder.EDIT: Okay, my dumbass just put the whole folder with the girl pack into the girls folder, so the game took it as every picture is the same girl, so I guess it just kept pulling from the whole pool.
0.2 has been available to download as a public beta forWhen will V0.2 come out to be downloaded?
Patches are for fixing bugs and sometimes for adding smaller features. As to installation, just overwrite your 'game' folder with the one from the patch. Note that the 0.15b patch is mandatory. As is the latest beta patch if you opt for 0.2.What is the patch for and how do I install the patch in the game.
Yes and no. It'll give you a barebones set of characters, but if you want actual well-made image packs, you need to take a look at the 1000+ pack spreadsheet. Playing without packs... I think it might even not be possible, but even if it technically is, you won't get anywhere in the game.Do I need to download the basic girl pack for the game to work and if so, where do I put it?
Thank you so much for your answers!0.2 has been available to download as a public beta fornearlyover 11 months now. When it will actually get finished, nobody knows.

Girl packs go in 'game/girls'. Look at Leortha's post and the discussion that caused it just above.

Huh? Last patch was less than five days ago, and the one before that about six days earlier. If this is slow for you, you've got some really unrealistic expectations.the updates are coming so slowly
Your choice. The game is basically feature-complete and the major thing it lacks is the planned storyline for all the chapters. Goldo is going to keep adding stuff, of course, but this is not an eternally half-baked project, like so many others. If someone pushed a magical 'complete BK' button tomorrow, I doubt the result would be so radically different from what it is right now.I'm not sure about keep playing it.
It's not 'going' anywhere it wasn't before. IMO, the pace of development has been roughly the same throughout the project, except for the half-year pause after 0.15b got its last update (Nov '19). Some of that development has been more visible to players, perhaps. But that's always the case when you go from creating a game to polishing and expanding one.sad to see where is it going...
