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

[Flyingnixons]

I never implied that you have an issue with people who play for free. But you do have a problem with them having any voice and want to silence them, as per post 1094 and that's unreasonable and even more regressive because you are basically denying the developers the entirety of the feedback pool outside of Patreon. And could you possibly point out to me how criticisms in our case lead to a regressive effect? Literally every major direction decision so far has been voted by Patreons.

And your basis is invalid, anyone who plays the game can and should complain about something that they don't like. Simply supporting the game financially don't magically make one's feedback any more or less valid for good game direction, as can be seen by the poll for her face.

To give you an example with exaggeration, say tomorrow a billionaire hijacked the poll with money backed dominant voting power and make the game scat based, every single smut scene in the game will have Kira playing with doodoo, now by your stance, since it's voted in, every non-paying player in some 3rd party smut discussion forum should just keep silence?

1. tf you mean i want to silence them i just said they have their opinions and i have mine i just dont like the complaining.
2. regressive.
adjective

1. 1.
   becoming less advanced; returning to a former or less developed state.

Like i stated before, this entire update will take mulan at least 12 weeks of coding and artwork, all of that coding and artwork is for the new character model. If all of the complaining works and Mulan chooses to go back to the old style, it would take another 12 weeks for the additional coding, changing coding and artwork. hence why i said regressive

Time to take this personal discussion to PM, please.

i agree with you saying my opinion is on the same level as yours. All im saying is there is not much anyone can do about the changes, its taken mulan 12 weeks for this full update to come out, thats 12 weeks of coding for this specific art design. i played this game for free for the longest time as well but i never complained because beggars cant be choosers. I am a fan of the old art as well but there is nothing i can do about it except move on. I still love the game, the way kira looks is not that bad so im going to continue to support Mulan.

I understand that. I'm not demanding anything. I'm just stating my opinion, because I've already posted my reasons to play this game. The art and the setting were the only things that stood up to me. I loved Kira's original look from the beginning of the game. She reminds me a lot of 2B, who's a character I also really like. The appearance change in the "New Look" event looked horrible to me. It doesn't matter if I'm not a patreon, this is my opinion and it won't change. I would definitely support the developer if I loved this game like you do. But like I said, there are very few things I really like in this game and the dev just ruined the biggest one to me.

I'm not imposing anything, I'm not asking the dev to change anything either. If he thinks that's the best thing for his game, fine. But you can't simply shut everyone up because you happen to support his decisions, just like I can't simply shrug it off and start to like the new look, because that's not how things work.

Unfortunately I still get the same sort of errors! The web browser loads the localhost as if it's loading the game, the defenestration logo appears in the tab of my browser, but I get the same errors. This was an awesome answer though, I learned a good deal from it.

aa14 Aahah... My fault.

I only tested it on the new Welcome Party update. Not the main game. I am guessing somewhere between version 0.4.3 and 0.4.4, they migrated to more heavily depend on RPG maker (or whatever else they're now using). Their code expects images in *.PNG format, but their files are in *.RPGMVP format, which is why it can't find any of them. And I don't even know where that "length error" comes from. So the game won't work in its current state without editing the source code.

I just tested it on a MacOS High Sierra VM. Welcome Party works, but version 0.4.4 has the same errors as you. As long as there aren't any errors in the game itself, the steps I outlined earlier should work, so maybe version 0.4.3 would. I haven't tested it.

I have faced this before, when launching the game (index.html) through www folder, I get these errors.

Firefox:
TypeError
this.imagePreloads[folder] is undefined

Chrome:
TypeError
Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

gamcore check out post https://f95zone.to/threads/defenestration-v0-44-fresh-mulan.10695/post-1987388
This works with the new Welcome Party update, but version 0.4.4 with it's missing images and undefined 'length' errors are a completely issue. If someone still has version 0.4.3 they could test it and let people know.

Cheers

So anything after the {new you} segment?

 

[Seipherwood]

After playing the Welcome Party ... the poll was totally between a Male and Female Protagonist wasn't it? The pole was split evenly so they HAD to combine them and we have the new ... Kee Ra!

But honestly? If this is her new "Base" form i can only imagine how bad the bimbo and other version is going to be. Ah well, only time will tell.

 

[88Michele88]

I prefer Bimbo Slut for Kira after mission New You. Or the same without pink hire if whe choise the Slut path.

I usually just lurk around but I'll share my opinion in this one as well, the prologue might not be super interesting but bear with me as I doubt I'm the only one.

There's too many projects I like in patreon and other platforms and with my budget I have to make choices, as such I tend to spread out my donations after a period of observation and use my gut feeling.
This is honestly a game that was on my radar for support but just missed the ship. I really liked the art and the story was good (i mean, it was no novel but for a standard of a parody game it was way up there).
For a game I discovered about two versions ago this climbed my list pretty fast.

I saw some complaints about the art using other people's work but it's mostly about giving credit.
Personally I think the author should have stuck to either, commission or enlist authors of previous work (if possible) or find an artist with a close enough style to keep going as unaffected as possible (again, i get that this is probably harder to do than it seems).

The current art-style looks off, and I personally dislike it. As a major point in why i liked the game, this effectively extends my suspension of support. (This is why creators have to know how to balance patron and public opinion, A patron is a source of income, the public might become one, and admittedly this is not an easy thing to do)

Ultimately, this is FreshMulan's project and I will not dole out judgement on their decisions as I think artists should follow their inspiration and whomever likes it will ultimately support it. (additionally I'm not self centered enough to think the creator owes me anything, I'll only go as far as share my feedback)
If the project keeps on this direction it'll probably drop off from my list, but I'll still wish them good luck.

If anything, I think the criticism that is happening on this ultimately comes from a good place. They are people who enjoyed the game and are frustrated to see it change in a direction that'll take that enjoyment away.

This is just the 2 cents from a random dumbfuck on the internet [which would be me for anyone who might actually wonder.]

It is just to big change how she looked before and now. It is like turning normal person to retired silicon pornostar in a seconds. Maybe new art look more favourable for new kira in larger cg's but I just lost all wiill to play after seeing her for first time. Dose she look like secret agent to you?

I'd be fine if her head matched the rest of her body, but they look like they were both drawn by different artists, it's so off-putting. I really hate saying negative things about an indie game, but I really preferred the previous art style.

Getting a bug after the scene where you put on the wig and coat and go to the park naked at night. After arriving, all of the dialogue boxes are invisible. I can still click through them, but I can't see anything that's being said.

 

[mattrixatp]

After arriving, all of the dialogue boxes are invisible. I can still click through them, but I can't see anything that's being said.

Sounds like the button to hide the boxes was clicked (by you accidentally or by an event artificially). I didn't even know this game had it. Did you try to find which key it is and press it? I don't know myself, but it's the simplest explanations that are usually right.

.:edit:.
A quick look through the change log and I saw the Ctrl hides the textbox, easy to click by accident on my keyboard at least

 

[AftermathARVIE]

link to the guide is broken - did i just fail to find a new one in this thread or is it down?

 

[Littlething]

anyone have full walkthrough?

 

[AftermathARVIE]

Allright . Finished what is to see for now. Tons of potential here, love it to bits, hope the development will go further in a steady pace!
