VN Ren'Py Abandoned Ecchi Sensei [Day 22-23 Final] [BlueCat]

Good. Bluecat's patrons must learn that they've been conned.

It's why I abhor those types of support sites. For "donations", absolving all accountability from content creators and enabling such abuse of the system.
Put in a little effort, bait the hook and let the support flounder while you rake in money. Some devs work and deserve the money while others milk and con their supporters. Bluecat has proven he doesn't deserve it.

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool others the same way, shame I can't throw a brick at your face".

How does this work?
Like I need to download all the previous week's or if I downloaded the latest the others are included?

You have to download each week. Do not merge weeks.

If you want the dark mind patch here is the ones to download:

Week 1 is Week 1 Final
Week 2 is Day 8-14 Final Release
Week 3 is Day 20-21 Final
Week 4 is Day 22-23 Final

Please rate your experience with this forum member with a number from 1-5 with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best.

Yeah there was an unofficial merge, which showed how comical the multi-year drama was. It's buried somewhere in this dead game's pile of posts, good luck finding it.

It was Dukez who did one. You may msg him or he may pop in and direct you to the proper post should he wish to share again.

 

[opiex942]

Do not merge weeks.

Bluecat agrees.

 

[A Common Crab]

Bluecat agrees.

That's wrong, Bluecat did go a step above and beyond all expectations and despite what people thought he decided on "do not" being his go-to sentence to the game.

Yeah I made a merge a while back, wasn't "perfect" but it worked. Actually went looking for it recently since I felt like adding in the latest content too it, but I didn't have it anymore lol. Can't remember what exactly didn't work on my merge before, I know there was an issue with a passcode I bypassed back then but I can't remember if I had a problem with the phone system before?

Reason I mention this is that I figured since it didn't take me that long before maybe I'll just do it again? So I started, moved it all into the latest renpy version and phone system was broken since python3 changed some things so the phone code doesn't work properly. So I moved it to an older renpy where the code works, phone system works on the latest content but not older stuff, seems like the phone code changed a bit in the latest update so I'd have to convert how it handles it to the newer approach.

There's a few more things I'd probably change, or rather improve if it's easy enough to retroactively change but in the end if I end up finishing it & releasing it then it won't have the bypass and stuff I did before, I'll figure it out and hopefully improve some parts. Also the "patch" content I'll have to make into a separate file this time. Maybe I'll even chuck a log on the main screen to identify it as a fan-merge .

I'm calling it now. BC will come here. Take it. Wrap it in a little bow and say they finally finished the merge with the same exact bugs you pointed out lol. I wouldn't post anything here. I know you're capable of doing the merge because I seen the first one you did but giving BC anything is kinda bleh to me. You could always charge BC for your services though.

No! Stop! Anyone that works on the merge becomes so unbelievably retarded that all they are able to do is post cat emojis. Think about your future!

I still have it saved in my Mega, 8.75GB. I'll send you the link. If anyone wants a link I'll happily shoot them a message.



Edit: It's just been pointed out this was actually Rexeit's compilation, not the merge by Dukez. My mistake.

Funny enough this is why a while back I considered putting it into a different engine, be that unreal, godot etc which I did explore and experiment with for a while to be honest just to spite bluecat if I did release it lol. The visual novel framework packs for these aren't really that good or had issues (One in Godot for example was just broken for me which I had the most hope in), Unity ones are all paid and I wasn't going to spend money. A free one for Unreal engine was alright which I worked the most with since I'm more familiar with how to use the engine but still required heavy modification which I did, but that was still far away from being complete since it would need some things completely remade although I never looked into seeing if there were other systems I could import and modify to quicken that process.

/shrug

I'd still like to do it one of those engines but eh, if I do it and he steals it then it is what it is. I'm still waiting to hear what exactly they have to change in renpy's source code for their save system .

Well I have the base version (not patched) version basically done currently outside a couple things I want to try and change/add before I move on to figuring out implementing the patch properly as an optional thing this time.

While I was looking through the code though... I want to point out that BlueCat (or whoever works on it) has definitely done some work, specifically in the last release since I can see they've gone back to start converting the old phone messages method into the newer one. This saved me the trouble since I was going to do the exact same thing they had here, so it became a lot faster to hook it up correctly.

This is neat and all, but I just casually want to point out that there is references to BlueCat being THREE DAYS ahead of what's been released so far since there is animation sequences dating the very files themselves. I'll even provide a picture of this, and since it's three days ahead I guess I can see exactly what characters would be getting animated in the future



Since this release was like 9 months ago, he must've at least been two full days ahead in terms of creating the pictures themselves so I still cannot understand why there hasn't at least been another singular release containing 1-2 days? I'm sure we can speculate on why... but this is as much proof as we're going to get that there's unreleased work.

The amount of work he has been doing in these two years is an imaginary number - because honestly the levels of copium required to expect anything at all is beyond my comprehension...

help

Lain mod is ONLY for the first week of the game

Mine works for week 2 (days 8-14)

then i have no clue if others made some for the other days

 

[Dukez]

All that excitement that we finally were getting Yuki content and then that was the last ever update. Sigh.

I can't imagine it going over well here though with the rules, I'd imagine at a minimum it would lead to the patch not getting linked on here lol. I'm surprised it took as long as it did to go down that route since his made a comic with her before.

On an unrelated note to this, F the calendar system getting changed and translations not being done the normal way for the old system. F a few changes actually...
