Ren'Py Champion of Realms [v0.97] [Zimon]

[Pr0man]

Sorry to butt in, can I say one thing in favour of the dev without being banned?
In the talk, it is said that a starting version will be posted here as a base, which will be updated in succession with the remade parts, not wanted to give a new version that must first be given to the patreons. If the game is to be distributed via launcher, this seems a normal thing to me, as it is not accepted here. Then he made a second thread since you didn't accept the first one, and in that one he added new things especially for your complaints, this one: MEGA, It contains renderings redone in some asmedia events and additions towards the end. Little stuff, but normal since patreons have precedence and this was a basic version for the forum.
Wasn't it better to discuss it civilly from the start?

First off: talking in favor of the dev isn't really a reason to get banned, but when people just create accounts with the sole reason to spam hard-to-verify information in threads, that's when the situation becomes muddled. No official channels of his have any postings regarding something that would constitute a remake publicly available - not the game website's news section, not the twitter (which it tells me doesn't exist), nor his patreon have any posts indicating a rework is in the making - which is the information most will have to work with. Then the version posted, as shown by redknights checksum comparision was basically the exact same, just renamed. Maybe that was an error on Zimons side, but at this point it's just hard to tell.

It is one of the reasons that there can't be much civil discussion about the logistics of something like a remake. When there's barely any info to base a discussion around, how is one supposed to take action? This isn't helped by Zimon ranting paranoiac nonsense as to how the F95 is out to get him and sabotage him every alternate step, especially when his fanbase goes at this with a crusader-like fervor and aren't interested in hearing the other side. From what I remember, this was even happening before the fiasco regarding the review manipulation occured. But when he then writes down page-long manifestos that ultimately convey nothing, but the facts he is trying to tell us keep changing around every other post, it's hard to keep track and actually keep a discussion running.

As an interesting side note, the reworked Asmedia scene is in one of the screens on that new thread, and I have to say - I'm not feeling it. The developer notes on that thread say it quite well: "The rendering method has changed, as renders go through Unity's postprocessing as the final stage" and it sure looks like he hit every post-processing option available to Unity. Spots look over- or underexposed and it just looks so blurred out and like a hazy mess. Sure, the previous version might have been of lower resolution, but at least it was crisp.

It's funny to see people defending Zimon yet, and that part of the "rendering method has changed" and "unity post-processing" just makes me laugh, never played Koikatsu? This is nothing but the types of Shadows you can choose when creating the character in the character editor.
Not to mention that the characters are not even original, (they are not made from nothing) you can find the original cards made by X and Y person (Pixiv, Fanbox, Kenzato, Bepisdb, Gumroad,.... etc), but I think nobody wants to see the real owners of the original cards come to complain and happen has happened with other game creators.
For me the moderators were patient despite all the problems that Zimon has been causing for a long time.
This thing of creating new posts is no longer a new thing or I have to remember that he tried to fool the moderators before, I think Mr. redknight00 remembers maybe:
https://f95zone.to/threads/champion-of-realms-v0-67-public-zimon.40009/page-214#post-7207131
CoR: RE version was Zimon trying to fool the f95 moderators again... Oh my god!

 

[bib4zqg63k]

It is also funny to see how you have an easy time insulting him.
Unfortunately it only makes you laugh, there are external programmes that allow you to improve renders, Unity can be incorporated among them, that pic there is not just a change of shadows, there is much more.
We know about that too, and Zim was even telling to report that stuff since it had nothing to do.
The moderators were not patient, not at all.
You keep repeating the same thing about creating more posts, doing stuff that the dev never did.
Continuing to repeat that he caused problems when he has not been there for a year seems to me to be stubborn.

And you're an idiot who just created an account and is spamming (if not Zimon in disguise) grow up a child.

 

[bib4zqg63k]

See? You are prejudiced and cannot dialogue peacefully, what did I do to you to insult me.
Especially why should my replying be considered spam and your insulting not?

Just ignore me, what is already done, is done and will not change the decision of the moderators since Zimon continues to show them how he deserves to be punished, and Man are you trying to argue with me? Go argue with the moderators, with them you don't say anything, do you?
They are the ones who change things, not me.
Talking to people like you who don't want to understand is the same thing as talking to a stone and I hope you're not a stone.
And I'm sorry if I insulted you, but I no longer have the patience for the stupid things that some developers do.
And much less for those who keep supporting this stupidity that developers keep doing.

 

[redknight00]

I'll leave this for the sake of transparency, but it's the same guy that's been spamming accounts since yesterday.

 

[Pr0man]

Okay, time to split this up a bit...

If people react immediately without enquiring and insulting, you have to expect an opposite reaction, seems normal to me.
The argument that is made is very simple, launcher coming, stuff that has to be redone, this is the solution that can give you otherwise you will have no windows or mac version, it seems simple to understand.

Ohh this is pretty normal to understand, but this has to go both ways - If you want to have the game being remade and distributed via a launcher, then just go and do that, instead of trying to push a file that apparently is identical with the previous one and calling it a "remake" to draw attention to it being remade. "Show, don't tell."

The information about these things are supporters only on patreon, but some parts are already available on discord:

Listening to both sides becomes complicated, because the considerations of the dev are opposite.
For those who know him from Discord and Patreon, he is a good dev who is very active and always helping those who ask for it, for you he is a bastard piece of shit.
That issue you keep reiterating, some people believe it, some people don't, move on, you can't keep using that matter of a year ago to keep insulting for free.
Whether it is true or not, we are talking about something different now.

Well, information about a remake being mainly patreon-exclusive is basically like I've been saying: Not publicly available.
Not everyone considers Discord a public source of information to keep up with an adult games news when the premier information hubs for those tends to be Patreon, Itch, the games' own website and (for some devs) even F95 because they embrace it here.

Next up, you are seemingly projecting quite a bit there.
To me at least, he isn't "some bastard piece of shit" like you say it. I'm just not cool with what amount of drama the dev is involved in - nothing more, nothing less. Besides, we can't exactly "move on" from that, because this is some pretty serious stuff that has never really been resolved.
This isn't someone playing a rascly little prank, but a developer who allegedly tried to manipulate the systems to further his own interests - at that point, this is simply not a trivial offense anymore.

It is also said that he continually causes problems, but there has been no interaction from him in here for a year now, apart from last week, but that is still a year's absence, you cannot say he causes problems if he is not even here.
Honestly? In my opinion, this whole thing was created by miscommunication on both sides, and I don't think it's fair banning for an error or that the links on the front page should be removed, they should be included, because if they were removed because of this matter, then it's also the fault of the forum and whoever managed the thread, if they were removed because Zim "still creates problems", that's an excuse, because he did nothing.

I wouldn't be able to tell if he continually caused problems or not, but from what I've heard, it's simply not the first time this has happened. It could've very well all been a big misunderstanding, but Zimon didn't exactly do anything to diffuse the situation. Is it fair to just remove all of the contact links to him over this? Well, definitely not if this was a first misstep, but since this isn't just a developer messing up for the first time, I can at least understand this as a measure being taken.

How can you say that the old render is better?

The second render is much better than the first, the only thing I can agree with is the blurring of the bg, perhaps too strong, but much better in the new one.
You can see that it is not just a change of resolution, it is completely redone.

Exactly because of that. That was my main complaint.
The model sure looks sharper, but all the post processing filters just make this look washed out in all the wrong places. It is an awful contrast when the girl is so sharp and the backdrop so blurred that I have to worry if my glasses need cleaning - sometimes, less is more. The older simply looked more crisp. I just noticed... Is Asmedia missing her tail in that new render? For it to be so prominently displayed in the original, this is an odd thing to have missing.

It wasnt me bro, i just made this account a week ago and i'm only using this one. Its going well so far, no problems

 

[Solo0]

In the new render a very important part of Asmedia is missing. I just don't agree with it suddenly disappearing like this.

[BoltonGuy35]

Why are people still upset about this? It's heavily implied that she will be revived. Let the story unfold and stop complaining

People who are really into the game have EVERY right to discuss the game and story content on this thread! That's what it is here for. Who are you to tell people what to do and say? Everyone has a right to an opinion, people 'commenting' (not complaining) on the emiko storyline obviously liked her character, which is a credit to the game and storytelling.

 

[Daastaan007]

Well the thing with Emiko was really hurtful.
After just unlocked, she was murdered.

I hope in future both Emiko and Hera's lil sister Erica will be resurrect.

 

[Porn_Jesus]

Is the latest compressed build stable or do I have to expect bugs and other technical shenanigans?

Yeah, it was hurtful and made me sad. And im not a fan of fridging female characters. But its worse to resurrect dead characters that were killed off dramatically to drive the narrative or MC motivations. So let Emiko rest in her grave. She earned her rest.

I guess you are right too.

Then Emiko should be removed from the unlocked main girl section.
It really hurt to see a cross over the Lil Angel.

And I really hope in future MC will give a brutal death to Darcel that everybody will remember it.
