VN Ren'Py Eruption Imminent [v0.5.1] [MorriganRae]

[ItsNotUs]

I didn't say it would speed up development I said its hasnt stopped. You're acting like development has stopped when it hasn't the order things are getting done in just changed.

I didn't say it stopped, i said it ON HOLD.

And you didn't answer the question what he does? As he himself wrote, he corrected some mistakes, what else?

New post on patreon dev says to expect the game to come out either July or August

 

[MorallyLucky]

So end of july / beginning of august is the planned time. That means the development time for the update will be overall 8/9 months, thats fucking crazy. Thankfully the game has a vocal and engaged fan base, otherwise this situation wouldve had a finanically very bad outcome for the dev. I am not accusing them of being lazy tho. It just a case of biting more than you can chew. And at the end of the day its their first time developing a game

Many games have updates that take a similar amount of time at least once, stop being a drama queen.

IIRC, the upcoming update is very ambitious compared to a lot of the updates previously.
A lot of shit is going to go down at the party and it's apparently quite an undertaking to make sure it all works out well.

Normally the updates are a fair bit faster than 8/9 months.

Episode 6 - Progress Report #21
Hey everyone
I have some good news finally . I just got confirmation today that my new PC is fixed and on the way back to me . Assuming everything goes well, I'll be able to continue with renders sometime next week. Let's hope this was the last hurdle and things go back to smooth sailing from here on out .
I did spend some more time with testing and writing during the last couple days. I now did 5 full playthroughs of Ep. 6 in the last 2-3 weeks, and I have to say I'm happy how unique each of those was. I'm really curious what your favorite way to go through this party will be . There's also just so many smaller variations that are barely noticeable on their own, but I think they add a lot in terms of immersion. Your main route, relationships, drunkenness and other choices all form these scenes in some way.
The not-so-good news is that June is becoming an impossibility for a release unfortunately. With all the technical and health issues in the last couple weeks, there's no way I can finish the remaining work in 2.5 months. I'm not writing off July yet, since I still have hope that the new PC will speed up my workflow a bit. I'll keep you updated, but for now the release estimate is set to July/August.

❤ I wish you all a nice weekend! Thank you all for your support! ❤

I think you misunderstood me. The only "negative" thing i said about the dev in that comment was that they were too ambitious in their plan for a single update. And after that i added its their first time developing a game, so that happens, no biggie. I am nowhere near trying to create drama

It seems to me that people are exaggerating a lot, it has already been said that this update will take much longer for several reasons.

1.-It will be the update with more content until now.
2.-It is trying to put many characters in the background than before.
3.-There will be many more routes, since it will be in a closed environment, which implies many variables and outcomes.
4.-Problems with his team to work.

Besides I am sure that I communicate that after this update will return to the normal format that has been used so far, so the delay so far is something very exceptional.

I understand that in this environment we suffer many disappointments, but this is just panicking for the sake of panicking.

 

[Doner077]

Ok i deleted my comment. Its clear i was not able to communicate what i think, so people felt like i was saying somethig bad about the dev and came to defend them

 

[Onbunga]

It's understandable that the party update will take longer if it is meant to be really big, but I hope for the versions afterwards the dev can move to 2 or 3 in game days instead of 4 which was the usual so we can get updates in 4 months or so

On hold means temporarily stopped as in they are not working on it right now. That is not true they are not rendering right now. There are multiple other areas they could still be working on from the progress list they show sometimes. Right now from even before the update that was just posted they said they are coding doing rewrites and playtesting. That's not being on hold that's working on a different part of the project.

 

[JeezLucas]

I'm only very early into the game but the MC rreeeeaally feels like dobby the loser elf on hormones. I'm gonna power through the early game cause I think there's potential for character development, but after playing many VNs where the MC is Mr.Special living the dream life, playing as a miserable futacel ( ) victim with a mediocre life in a porn game really rubs you in the wrong way.

Won't stop me tho. Who said I ain't a brave boi ?
Anyway back to playing a messed up pothead who jerks off in every place she drags herself in !

 

[Sossse]

rly depends on the route you are on. on siren or kitten route the mc actually has impact and feels like a meaningful character who is active si shavin the world around her. in the cuck route.. yes there is nothign devnfing the cuck route; taking dobby as an examply is very fitting for the cuck route since the MC is totally uselss in that route and every single other char feels like their personality got exchanged for someone else

You're weird!
The dev spent months just coding and plotting, now he just checked everything for errors! What's stopping him from rendering and checking errors in parallel!? Oh yeah, PC! This is a pointless argument because you're defending emptiness!

I bet you never worked on the single project that involves coding, even smaller scale. If you do, you would understand that shit happens, and it's even harder to maintain everything whole year every year without a break of sweat, fir a single developer.

People on this thread are willing to die over semantics lol. People dont get that the renders will consume most of the time and if they cant work on them the development is very much on hold on a break.

"Miserable futacel" made me chuckle, that's a fucking funny term.

But also yeah, Ashe is very much just a giga-dweeb, even on the Siren route. It's something that's been a talking point for a long time now and we haven't really seen much meaningful progress towards being a bit more confident and sure of herself, and I don't think we will get that until the blackmail route is resolved, and potentially having Fiona be a bit more involved as I have a sneaking suspicion that she will be more of a catalyst than many other characters given how much Ashe trusts her.

It's fucking Ren'Py, mate, the dev is not making a new engine. If it was so unbearable, no one would use the damned tool to begin with. It would also make most devs get stuck coding and not rendering, something that almost never fucking happens, certainly not for that period of time.
