Ren'Py Forgotten Cove [v0.060] [Passion Pixels Games]

[dajunk12]

Real talk, game mechanics are terrible. When you can't roll back, you need the ability to have multiple saves at random points so you can come back and try alternative routes. That's standard for all Japanese erogames, but the things done to lock down the game breaks that dynamic. Having already gone through a certain path, I want the ability to skip the text I've already read. That is not possible.

If you attempt to do an i-patch yourself (there are a lot of relationship settings) it breaks the ability to load and save your games. WTF?

So far the game isn't giving me enough reward to go through the grind and pain of playing the game. Because the ability to skip already seen text is broken, the grind feels even more grindy. Quit spending so much time trying to de-renpy the game, and focus on actual content. It's not very fun.

Hard pass for me.

Well... That was something. After a promising start once the prologue ends and you are told to write your own story...the dev apparently really meant it and you literally need to write your own story as you are deposited on an empty beach sandbox with no further story. (Unless you count chopping bamboo as story) LOL!

Seriously though, it makes no sense not to just end the dam game after the prologue for this update. In no universe is it EVER a good idea to release an empty unfinished sandbox where all you can do is grind resources and build things with no character interactions, that's a good way to scare patrons/possible patrons away...

Whatever... In case that bit of stupidity doesn't kill this game, I went ahead and did my thing.

Forgotten Cove Taboo Improvement Patch v1.3
(For Forgotten Cove v0.060)

- Sets all relationship variables to correct ones for taboo fun.
- Fixes wrong variable usage and accidentally hardcoded names/titles.
- Fixes incorrect gender pronouns
- Reduces the over usage of relationship titles to address others which sounded unnatural. (So certain characters now use names more as well as the shortened Bro/Sis instead of always the full word.)
- Minor increase in taboo dialogue
- Fixes some of the worst Engrish. (Honestly this game wasn't that bad compared to many I've seen)
- Enables Rollback (The dev clearly disabled it because of their sand box plans, it can really mess with resource collection either allowing you to rapidly increase or accidentally drain your resources if you roll back at the right/wrong time. The right time is after the +1 appears on the screen. The wrong time is after building something and before increasing something.)
- Adds the option to the inventory screen to enable the dev's hidden cheat menu.

What should the Improvement patch be renamed too?

You don't rename it. Just save it in the "game" subdirectory and it should automatically kick in. (If you downloaded any earlier version though make sure you delete it or you will get conflict errors)

Yarp. All it took was seeing this exchange to add it to the iggy list. I hate cold friend invites, ANYWHERE, much less from a porn channel on discord. There are exactly zero porn games I'd join a discord channel for.

OH! ... A-are there Discord servers that aren't for AVNs? This is like 90% of what I use Discord for.

Well, I had hopes for this game, but holy shit, grindfest for resources (seriously who wants to do that), forced waiting on transitions, ugh, the coding needs work, IE: You start a new game (which SHOULD clear all old choices, but it doesn't), so any choices you made in a prior playthrough are not cleared, IE: early game you choose which rooms to go to in the house, prior choices have already been made so all those arrows are not available anymore, no hints or anything in the sandbox stuff on the island, you just need to jump around everywhere in hopes of finding what you need to do, it is certainly not ready for release, I'm actually curious if it was even tested beforehand, so unless there is some major fixing done to it, it's a hard pass from me.
For all the spam discord accounts going around hyping this game up, it's a pretty big letdown.

I haven't gone far into this game yet (at all), but it sounds like the URM may be useful for the resources grind.

Forgotten Cove Taboo Improvement Patch v1.2
(For Forgotten Cove v0.040)

- Sets all relationship variables to correct ones for taboo fun.
- Fixes wrong variable usage and accidentally hardcoded names/titles.
- Fixes incorrect gender pronouns
- Reduces the over usage of relationship titles to address others which sounded unnatural. (So certain characters now use names more as well as the shortened Bro/Sis instead of always the full word.)

The right time is after the +1 appears on the screen. The wrong time is after building something and before increasing something.)

(edited to add v1.2 because I noticed I missed a couple lines in the rescue choice...)

Love this. I can already see the difference. Is there any chance you can fix the skip unseen dialogue? Or tell me how to add it to this patch? It appears to be broken in game (I have the option to skip selected, but it doesn't work. )

Unfortunately there's not really an easy way to do that via patch. The issue is that the dev has inserted the code "_skipping = False" into the script which overrides the user preference to blocking skipping regardless of what option you select. It can usually be put back to normal by just calling "_skipping = True" at game start (or entering that command in the dev console) but the problem is that instead of just doing it once, this dev annoyingly went ahead and added that "_skipping = False" tag to the start of practically every label, so you would have to constantly send the command. Honestly the only real way I know around that is to actually physically change all instances of "_skipping = False" to "_skipping = True" in the .rpy script files themselves and save the modified files...

Unless I've done something wrong, the patch isn't working for me. How should I save the patch as before putting it in the folder? I can only save it as ".TXT" as far as I know.

 

[cab18+]

@jonquilnatrix is your patch compatible / needed for v0.60 ?

 

[ea3794]

Code for 0.060 is 987654321

 

[katabasi]

plenty of missing tags?

Do you see the patch is for game version 0.40 and you're trying to run it on 0.60?

Now, logically speaking, would you expect something made for an earlier version of the game work on a later version? If you say yes, then you need to go think on that some more because that's the wrong answer. There's a reason software has version numbers and it's fairly stupid to expect something built for an earlier version to work on ANY later version of software unless it's specifically designed to do so.

Actually this is a false assumption, well maybe due to the fact that you are generalizing it so broadly. There have been/are plenty of times I have used older trainers/walkthrough mods on newer versions of the game, it very much depends on how much the game has been added to or how much the Dev has changed it. One can never just assume it won't work and when in doubt the best option is simply to ask.

Yeah and honestly it did mostly work because there is so little new content? (I almost felt bad enabling the dev's cheat menu as without resource grinding there is like 1-2 minutes worth of new content. But then I noticed that whether intentional or accidental your full inventory is reset to 0 every time the game is loaded...so F that.). There are just a couple new lines where he called Samantha by name instead of Aunt Samantha, and one place where the dev used the wrong variable yet again that I had to correct.

Anyways an .rpy file is basically just a .txt file. If it wants to save as the wrong extension for some unknown reason, just rename it to have the right one?
