I'm weighing the pros and cons of creating an Omnibus 2 with not enough stuff in it and then adding future things vs waiting until there's enough content to "fill" a second Omnibus before creating it.
Currently, there are two kinetics that I consider "Short stories" but that are longer than the Shorts in Omnibus 1, an actual short story, and Chasing Beth. Doesn't seem like "enough." But I understand the benefit of people not needing to ask what order things go in if they just need to download 2 omnibuses and play #1 before #2.
I'll keep thinking about it. Mostly, right now, I'm focused on Toro 7, though.

You could always just update the first omnibus and give it version numbers as well, although I can see why that might create further confusion.

Renpy really wants you to have all of the images be the same size, but the old games have images that are a different size (and different aspect ration even) than the new ones. That's the primary reason I chose to split the Omnibuses where I did.

Remasteritis is a debilitating disease. The fewer devs suffer from it, the better.

Everything is possible, but the time spent remastering old games is time not spent making new ones. I'd rather move forward.

Hmmm. I'm not sure why it says "Seventh." There are two kinetics between Darkness Falls and Chasing Beth. So this is either the 6th if you don't count them as "games" or the 8th if you do. Anyway, those kinetics are (in order)
Elsa's Nightmares https://f95zone.to/threads/elsas-nightmares-ep-1-6-tora-productions.42937/
Elsaverse: Transitions https://f95zone.to/threads/elsaverse-transitions-ep-1-7-tora-productions.66298/

Thanks, I think I figured why it's called the "Seventh". Darkness Falls originally came as two separate HTML versions, But the Ren'Py version consolidated those into one.
And I do know about the two kinetics. But I saw those more as a collection of side stories.
On another note, I just finished Chasing Beth, and O.M.G.
I still don't know what triggered it, I think it was the way the scenes showed while Joel was typing out his final story, but I actually got a bit emotional.
I only suffered a very minor form of PTSD, I was involved with helping out emergency personnel during the aftermath of a frontal train collision (I lived next to a railroad) when I was only 18.
The first fifteen minutes, the only sounds I heard were the sirens from ambulances driving to and fro... it actually took a few years before I stopped hearing those whenever it became silent.
So I can very well imagine how hard it must be after experiencing things like the MC in this game, and others having experienced those in real life.
Especially if you're constantly in a situation where your life and that of your team members is on the line.
And I honestly don't understand how a certain someone could be so completely wrong about what the story is about, this says more about the player than about the characters.

For the love of all that is good, I don't know how the F I missed this one!!
Being a big fan of your stories (and the Elsaverse even more) this one was another great entry!!
Very deep emotions in it.
As always, the writing and the renders blend so beautifully with each other.
I'm thrilled each tie you release a new story and I'm looking forward to the upcoming ones!!
Now I'm up to date (including the new short PPF)

Will there be a sequel to the game "Chasing Beth"?
I have the impression that the game is not over, it stops with Mickaël who says: of course I have a power.
And poof, the game ends, but damn I'm waiting for the rest of this great game!
Maybe I missed something.
In any case, thank you for making such a game which is also translated into French, it's really important to me. It adds a big plus to a game that is already really good.
So a big thank you to “Tlaero”.
