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

[Wolfen5]

Hey everyone, I popped into the Discord to see if there was any real news about the mer-pfffft ha ha ha, damn, almost made it without laughing. Anyway, for all the people (all 2 of them) wondering about Latecomer, I have seen proof that Latecomer is no longer working on the project. He either just hangs out in the Discord or hasn't left the server.

Latecomer was the one doing the merge. He was the one that used the Gitlab.

Two years of scamming from Latecomer and now its looking like two more years with Bluecat. The student has become the master.

Well, given the fact I posted Latecomer chatting in Discord in March, I'd say there isn't bad blood between him and BC or he'd have been booted from Discord I presume. So it begs the question, why is Latecomer still active in Discord and seemingly still friends. It would support the notion of the game being abandoned, or on life support at the very least.
At any rate, it's pointless now, as the only thing being posted there are manga comics pages, hugs and face pics (game avatars) and nothing concrete nor constructive about the "merge" or development.

Man, i can finally play this game, and is dead? For Foks Sake!

I'm so confused with the DL links for week 3 days 15-21. All the filenames say "d2021". Is this correct? It seems to imply only days 20-21 are included.

Yea, it's all there. And it's worth the download even if it doesn't get finished because there's a ton of content.

I agree its worth a play through because it did and does have great content, wish it would keep going but hope is very little now.

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.

I can understand re-working the existing weeks to clean up old mistakes, but I don't get why he wants to merge them. Wouldn't having those separations make it easier to build each new week without having to deal with the previous ones?

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

 

[Dukez]

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.

Your new here so just to let you know that if your post is the last one please do not make a new post but add to your last post.
You have 3 post in a roll that should have only been 1.

 

[Dukez]

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.

(Windows/Linux)
Added a hotfix to address a bug that may come up. Recommended to merge with your game.

Maybe BC will take your merger and pass it as his own xD

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.

Hey dukez, from start to finish how long did it take?

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

Hey dukez, from start to finish how long did it take?

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.
