He's still on Discord contributing to the hugfest. Probably lurking here as well. Who knows?! Also, who cares?! He's too self-deluded to see how he participated in a losing battle and could not admit defeat.

There was a vote on patreon to see what people wanted. They wanted a merge and we all know how it's going....

Maybe Skummy should come playtest the merge I made before it's released, he already works for free so surely that isn't a conflict of interest right?
Thought I was done with it last week and went through a quick playtest on it to discover a bunch of issues... of course lol. It made me fix up some things and some sytems I downgraded to older versions (e.g character profiles) to make them work I ended up realizing how I could make the newer system work properly so I moved back over to that and got that working.
Old saves probably won't be compatible though.. had some issues with it so I moved on. Might revisit it after I've done a full playtest to know it "works" start to finish on a new save but I doubt something like a week 1 save would ever work because of some changes I made in those earlier days. I think renpy saves resume from the line number? Might not be fixable, no idea.

Well, my unofficial merge is done. (the only one that will exist?)
New saves only as old saves won't work.
Speaking of saves, for some reason the saves won't save into the usual %appdata%/renpy folders for me but it may not affect you. If you want to back them up after I would recommend copying them out of the game folder if you also run into this problem.
The merge includes Day 1 through 23. You can view the changelog of the things I did below.
This has been compressed down from 22GB~ to 3GB~.
Patch content is in a separate file that has to be extracted into the game folder.
Added a hotfix to address a bug that may come up. Recommended to merge with your game.
If anyone wishes to play the specials that aren't included in this through the days (They aren't "canon" from what I remember) then the only ones you would need to download are:
Halloween Special (2020)
Fapoween Special (2019)
Lewdmas & Lewdyears Special (2018)
You can find these on the first page.

It would be more visible work than we've seen from him in a while so sure, why not.
Also added clarification on my post that it's for Windows/Linux just so it's clear, since I forgot lol.

Another Patron leaves. By the time this merge comes out, or if it comes out, there won't be any Patrons to play it. Bluecat will have to come back to F95 and beg people to subscribe to his Patreon. (The begging part was a joke but my god I wish it could come true).

I wont play again until 12 straight months of updates come out, then I may even think about supporting again but I doubt it.

If this isn't proof enough in showing the total ineptitude and/or laziness of Bluecat with all the time he had since the last update (and the years of already working on the game I might add), then anyone foolish enough to take his assertions at face value of bringing this to fruition really needs to buy a screwdriver. Their screws are loose.
BTW Dukez Great job

Few weeks I guess, If I was to hazard a guess over those weeks I maybe put in like 40 or so hours total? A fair portion of it was me troubleshooting various things, like I started off on renpy 8.0.3 for a while before I moved down to an older version. Some of the things I wanted to do was get rid of the "Day 1" etc pages or when you go past page 9 the pages list would up to to 10-19 and so on but I couldn't get it working properly lol.
After that I thought "maybe I'll just change the save name to be the current day your on?" but I ran into the problem that it would use the variable that gets that info, so when you loaded a different save all the other save names would update to that... tried various ways at tackling it to no avail so I reverted it.
My least fun part was translating the calendar stuff, since the new system was VERY different to the old one and included a lot of new entries that weren't translated so I essentially ended up just having to go line by line creating my own translations (they are deep learning ones for those curious, more than fine for this stuff though) but this ultimately led me down the path of checking what else might be missing, hence some character profiles and such being added.
I was strongly considering filling out the replay system to include stuff from days 8-23... but when I looked at how the code for it was it just seemed tedious and I'd rather try to remake that instead which I didn't want to do. So Bluecat can do that.
Bouncing off that discord post above, one thing that is VERY clear to me having to skip through a few times from start to finish is that each day between 1 & 7 is A LOT longer than any day made after those first 7. I don't think this is a bad thing but it really stood out to me because even while skipping through so I could make sure the game works properly start to finish, It would take me like 20-25~ mins just to get to day 8, whereas days 8-23 is probably like 30~ mins or so. I only had to do this a couple times but I hated it xD.

Welp that just proves that Blue is either stumbling around in the dark with no clue what to do and just hoping that he can finish it or that he knows what to do but just doesn't care anymore.
As for what I think about you Dukez:
Also because I'm such a nice guy and want to reward you for your hard work:

Think I just figured out why the merge has taken 3 years and counting:
He took over the helm in July 2022. He can't do any of that himself.
Welp. Everybody type F in chat for this game. Someone that doesn't know how to do it took over to do it. Yep, its now confirmed dead.

I just hope the great save changes that required source code editing isn't just that... they went back and just changed how it's saved.... because that's not renpy's source code lol.
for context as an example, all the events on the calendar would previously saved as a true/false variable and be set to true as you go through the days, e.g can_see_feb_21st = true... so you can imagine this bloats the save file. They moved away from this after week 1 IIRC and started using progress = number, so it only saves once in the file and you can show content based on what number it is - way better. Not a source code change though.
I think even stumbling around in the dark would result in the merge getting completed, so it's just unfathomable how it's not released yet IF they were working on it. Bluecat should just merge whatever little amount of work his done into mine.

As someone who's been right up in the guts of this thing, is fixing it easy enough, or would a ground up remake be more efficient?
Do you have any idea what exactly could be causing problems on the devs end? Or was seeing the insides just proof that they're just sitting on their arse?
Either way, good work and thanks for all this.
