Ren'Py Four Elements Trainer [v1.1.6b] [Mity]

[RebelliousKnightMordred]

We don't really know about a drop in quality of writing. Based on the (very small) amount of writing we've seen in 18titans & spookytimes I'd say the writing isn't the same quality as the main game. I agree that Marty should definitely continue by coding the builds and flesh out the main idea for the storyline, but if they want tonal consistency I can see why they'd want to keep cbob.

The other thing is that no one is calling for cbob to be removed. FET turned into a large project and people were concerned he had bitten off more than he could chew. That's why there was a call for hiring help. Also the solution isn't to just hand everything over to Marty and have them do it because now they run the risk of burnout.

If they cared about their project they would hire help, either a new programmer to help ease cbob's load and then he can continue to focus on writing or a new writer that can flesh out cbob's idea because let's be honest cbob isn't a god and that's ok, he needs help as evidenced by the multiple breaks due to him "breaking down" or "hitting a wall/writer's block" not to mention the times a build got screwed by trying to implement a new minigame.

everyone who's been here since the begining will continue to dismiss what you've said. FET isn't Martie's game, he's only the artist for it, say what you want about should've could've but the final decision has always been Cbob. Marty could continue by himself if Cbob said he was done and gave it to him, but unless that happens it will always be Cbob's game to create at its highs and lows. We all know Cbob has a yandere dev aversion to hiring another coder, at least he has marty to actually create art instead of asset rip (and he can write pretty well compared to most adult games). *edit but we know he won't do it, for whatever reason he has, unless of course he himself realises he needs another coder, another writer at this point would just be more hassle then its worth and would be a bad idea

A bad idea like falling short of a stated release date twice and then going ghost for 6 months?

I never said the project should go to Marty. By all means I acknowledge that FET is cbob's baby, if you actually read my post you would see that I said that I'm not calling for some coup to happen where the game is snatched from him. I literally just said that all I want out of them is to show the project means something to them and hire some help.

Is that so unreasonable? Surely when a game starts pulling in 20k a month you can afford to invest some of that into expanding your work force to start releasing builds at a reasonable rate. Of course there's no guarantee that adding someone would improve the work flow but sure it wouldn't hurt to try?

My suggestion is for you to start actually reading posts if you're going to reply to them and for MITY to use that cash to hire a new coder or writer or whatever to help cbob out.

So the artist can make his own builds which are perfectly functional, have no noticeable drop of quality of writing, and of course still have the art (duh), and to top it all off, no minigame that assfucks the entire build!

So for what reason is cbob so immensely critical other than that FET is his project?

i said this a few times but i have a heavy suspicion that the writter block came from him getting stuck making a new pointless mini game, you know, like last time the game got a big delay.

HOLY BALLSACKS! I just jerked it the last 4 days straight with this thing.

---
I had one main save and a few others for various branching decisions. For instance my main save is the love route in book 2 with Azula, then slave with Toph, but I felt kind of bad bullying her so I chose love for Korra. On reddit I saw she can make out with a girl? Is her love route incomplete or was it a bad combination?
---
Also in case the dev is reading this, this has been a great game. Very humorous, doesn't drag, makes me smile every time there's a reference I get. I like it, really wish I found it earlier in the lock down. Thank you.

perhaps you should take your own advice, I talked about that, yes, but I also brought up you talking about how them hiring another coder or writer is pointless at this point, we've been there already, some even asked Cbob directly and he said no, unless Cbob has a change of heart it isn't going to happen and neither of the devs go on this site so you are talking to air.

If you really care so much become a patreon and bring it to Marty or Cbob themselves, otherwise shut up about it, nothing any of us can do about that fact and you aren't the first person to talk about it, its amazing how many people treat these forums like the developer's patreon page, we're just a pirate site, only exception being if the devs for a game engage in their forum on this site because then you know they at least have a chance of even reading what you posted.

The lesbian make out scene is probably in the Slave route, (Slave route and love route are practically different games, they're not the same thing, with love route being more romantic and slave route being more... slave like... idk), Book 4 Love route (so korra's love route) is still being made but the coder/writer has been "working on it" for about 5-6 months? don't know the exact date sorry

 

[dunkin6698]

Man... I come back once every couple weeks, and nada. I mean, I am unsurprised, and ultimately, it is what it is, but hot damn, I'm looking forward to the next update. I know it'll probably be a while, but I'm still looking forward to it.

Wow that's kind of a bummer. Oh well I'll reboot an older save and work my way back.

Also thank you, I appreciate your response and that you took the time to write it.

This is a discussion thread why would we not discuss the current state of the game? Or rather lack of it. I don't care if you don't think it shouldn't be talked about here just because it's a pirate site. Also why would I become a patron for a game that doesn't have consistent updates? That's just bad business sense. Get charged every month of the year to only see return on that once maybe twice throughout? No thank you.

In fact I suggest that if all you want to see is mindless praising for MITY you go and become a patron of theirs.

 

[No-Nonon]

Haven't played this yet, but I'm willing to wait for another year or so for a complete version. What would you guys suggest?

well the site mods don't agree with you. they've banned people from threads before for derailing the talk away from the game and towards the devs themselves and their development practices, I think most people agree that your talk about coders and writers are true, but it isn't relevant to why this thread exists, we can't do anything about that issue, so talking about whether Cbob should hire another coder here is pointless, talk about the game itself and nothing else that's why these threads exist, not to discuss whether the devs should hire an extra coder or writer for the 50th time, it has nothing to do with the game itself and just creates pages of irrelevent junk.

I feel you, every day I see notifications hoping for an update from the devs on when we might see a game update, but nothing, at least its the final part (though I was looking forwards to this one second to the Azula route) the game is mostly done, and you can get plenty out of what exists so far, just if you're into korra and not in a punish her kind of way, then it is disapointing.

All you doubters are gonna be sorry when Cbob releases the Four elements trading card game in 2022.

And then the trading card game crashes the entire internet due to a bug

 

[hornygandalf]
