RPGM Defenestration [v0.5j bug fix] [Fresh Mulan]

[zraider]

so what was the story with Saves?
i got lost somewhere in all these pages on the topic

 

[Nymphonomicon]

didnt he say the aug shop is added for versions 4.9..8 ? or did he just add the art?

Always check the Changelog portion for what is actually added in build.

Overall despite the number of variables in the game - this one holds up very good. Take a look at "New Dawn" for instance, every playthrough you are encountering new and new bugs, but this one - it's absolutely fine every playthrough. Dialogues are great, humour is next level in comparison to other games.

You just forgot one thing about bugs. One critical bug that is known for years and was never fixed - missing picture that breaks game down completely. It's mentioned here maybe on every third page. Mulan obviously reads this forum and must know about this bug. Do they do anything about it? Well...

This beautiful artist's drawing could have been made into a great game again, only this drawing should have been properly brought to life.
Instead, some lazy idiot is working on it again(or just someone who doesn't have time for it), who won't turn it into a normal game in 100 years. Or the other version when the drawing creator tries to make a game, which I doubt because the two things are separate branches and program designers and video game creators rarely know how to draw beautifully and vice versa.
In both cases, a good video game developer/programmer or company should be acquired for the project, which is probably expensive. Anyone who knows a professional amateur programmer should give the contact information of the person responsible for this game, because if this continues, nothing will come of this game and the artist will just waste his talent on this project.
There is a total chaos of breast size and accessories in the game, sometimes the breasts are big and sometimes small, the animations and the event animations are mostly not adjusted to the status of the character.

soren26 mentioned that if the developer fixes this, more money will come in... I doubt that the problem is that there are also many annoying bugs that the developer is not really able to fix or is just simply lazy. That's why I wrote that another developer is needed or help for the existing one.

It was reasonable sarcasm in my words. I meant he intentionally creates new bugs and don't solve old ones, his plan is to create illusion of game redesign, as it affords him to fool Patreon and patrons at same time. Sad this parasitic way is not bad for Patreon owners too.
If he wanted to finish some old quests and please patrons, his behavior would be another.
He probably visits f95 to farm here "neofites" for subscribing, that's all he needs.

игра есть в другом месте и она на русском

Yes, there is a third possibility, which I did not mention, that the developers of the game do not even want to finish the game, they just keep it in a half-finished state as a side income (with minimal updates), relying on the good faith of Patreon supporters and taking advantage of it.
But I think this is a bad business policy, of course it can work for one or two years and there are bona fide Patreon supporters who fund the project even after the third year, but most of them quickly realize that nothing is happening here, it's just a scam. I think it would be easier to actually make the game, which he/they could then sell on Steam(and on other similar platforms) at a medium price. And Patreon could move on with the next project or projects.
That's what a planning person would do. Of course, a short-sighted idiot would choose the other solution.

I just checked that the project is at least 5 years old. And he's making $2,246 a month now on this tragically buggy semi-finished game. Well, human stupidity is really limitless, and nowadays there are a lot of internet (often legal) scams that can be profitable.
But even then, I think that with the finished game he could earn more money and his monthly income of 2 or 3 thousand dollars could continue with the ongoing project on Patreon, but it could even be 10 thousand per month if word got out that this developer is making very good (finished) games.

It is very sad that this is the case because of the many idiots who finance projects that will (intentionally) never be completed.

 

[TheBlackCoon]

how do I get back to the residential area?

 

[A.sapien]

EDIT: supposed to be a reply to this but i'm an idiot and didnt proof read my post.

Dunno if you got a response to this, but if your save is from before a certain version it some events wont fire, I'm in the same boat. I figure eventually there will be enough new content to start a fresh run, EDIT: well this is awkward, i quoted the wrong post, was ment to be a reply about not getting the liquor for the party

 

[Ravellon]

Far be it for me to defend a dev when I'm always making fun of them but that's not how war works. Some places will just be hit harder. Unless you have confirmation that other dev is also living in Kyiv, in the same area, directly nextdoor.

If you wanna talk about awful; I don't know if it's worse that someone may be using war as an excuse for tardiness for their porn game's updates or that someone else, completely disconnected from the situation, is dismissing them out of pocket using what-about-ism as an argument when it involves a war. I won't go as far as to call it entitled, but it's definitely shallow thinking.

He obviously has frequent Internet access and is not directly participating in the war. So his situation is similar enough. There would be inconveniences as a result of the war, such as power outages and such, but they can be solved if one wants to do so. Like the example I've brought up and the dev getting a back up generator.

Mulan has being doing jack shit even before the war. His pace of development has not changed at all with the start of the war, only the content of his excuses. This is not me being entitled to this game's progress. This is me not liking a liar blatantly lying to people for financial gain. I would rather this game gets abandoned tag until a proper content update manifests.

 

[BroembroemBoris]

Anyone else having this error? I got this when entering Redtardis.

One or two years 5 or 6 years he pulls from these naive лопухов

If you played the game after 2019 this update likely isn't worth downloading, abandoned prefix would give the players a better idea of the games state since then.

 

[LoliDtheOriginal]

As I play this game for free, I don't think I have that much power to change anything...but those 961 patrons could change something right? it's their investment...is it? will they keep paying or stop...well, that is for them to decide!! we should just wait , vape and be a good little comrade !!

I NOW have frequent internet access, because I paid for fiber-optics internet that doesn’t get shut down.
I also have constant electricity because I bought a personal generator - and I am really, really fortunate that I can afford all of this, so do not compare me to other Ukrainians that can’t afford such luxury and are forced to sit in the darkness because of our “little brothers”.

Apart from that, you are absolutely right - nothing changed, if anything, we’re working even harder now. The only issue I have with your overall message is the mention of “excuses” - I never made any, it’s your own imagination.

Few questions:
1) 1 year before february 22
2) fake activity after "abbandoned tag"
3) bug with missing picture for 2 years (yeah its fixed, but it seemes that we have another similar one)
4) i`m subscribed on girl from Sumi (Сумы) who moved to spa on Kiev to celebrate her birthday one weekage, and its not so cruel as near front line according to photos.
5) there is mindbreaking update at 1st numbers of september? You told a lot words about suckers here (f95) in your discord in august.

1) One year?.. 2014 was 9 years ago, that’s when we got rid of Putin's puppet
2) I am active whenever I feel like it, so when my patron told me that my post got an “abandoned” tag - I removed it, naturally.
3) That bug may be fixed, but we will make more like this one. Heck, we already have a similar one in this version- “redtardis” waitress job.
4)Kyiv, not “Kiev” and yes, we are fine, no thanks to you tho.
5) I honestly don’t understand what you’re talking about, please elaborate.

2) I am active whenever I feel like it

I believe this is a statement no developer should make when he has several goals on his Patreon page which ask for a certain amount of money in return for more time invested into developing the project and/or hiring new people to progress faster.

This basically means that your Patron goals are a hoax as you'd do whatever and whenever you want anyway, regardless of what Patrons are made to believe.

It's also very likely the main issue as to why there's so little new content for a long time. Someone who makes a solid amount of money on Patreon, having several Patron goals achieved, should, atleast in my opinion, have a sense of responsibility and work ethic. But this statement right here doesn't sound like it's the case with you. I'm sure most of the negativity revolving around your project would evaporate if you were to change that attitude. But that's just my opinion, and it's your project.

Now for an actual question. Could you post a roadmap of what you're working, and what you can't work on, because it relies on other stuff to finish first? You get a lot of shit here because no one actually knows what's going on behind the scenes (And because some people are actually borderline braindead, but that's besides the point). Also no one knows what's next. I think a graphic would help a lot here.
