Others Completed Future Fragments [v1.0.1] [HentaiWriter]

[comakill23]

The game hasn't changed much since the last time I've tried it, generally speaking. It's decent, not something I'd write home about. I do agree with the criticisms in this thread so I don't have much to add to that except that I really don't like HW's writing.

Was never a big fan of the quirky self awareness that has seeped into everything these days. What I really hope he doesn't do is that meta "Acknowledge the Player as a character in the story" crap. It's the thing that keeps me from playing Magic Matchup again. Since whenever I think about the game the thing that comes to mind was how much I hated the ending despite how cute the character design is.

I hated the quirky self-awareness. At a certain point it just feels stale as hell and cliche as hell for this type of dev/game. Not say HW's writing is garbage but I'd say that's the worse aspect of it. Just write a normal fucking story please or read up on what humor actually is.

So I've been following this project on and off for... A while now. Do people post map packs here on F95? I don't recall seeing any.

I believe some of my packs were posted here in the past. Since more recent game versions have broken some things in those older packs, I haven't been inclined to post them anywhere aside from the discord server. (Just one of those things that comes with the territory of making content for a game that's still in progress.)

A while back HW streamed a playthrough of my earth pack. (The more substantial pack of the 2 larger ones I've put together.) At some later date I have plans on going back and updating it to account for some of the changes that have been made since then. Fix some stuff that's broken because of updates, polish up some stuff with newer mapmaking functionality that has since been added, change some things that in hindsight I feel I could have setup better, etc.

Any mapmaking from me has largely just been on hold atm, waiting for a more feature complete version of the editor. Over the years I've had plenty of chats with the programmer about functionality to add and quality of life stuff to make mapmaking easier. (Some of that functionality has ended up being used in the base game levels). With that sorta "insider knowledge" of what we might be expecting in the future I've largely been waiting for some of that before going forward with some of the ideas for packs that I have. Some post release version of the editor basically, given that the editor itself will be coming later.

Right. So here's the Gallery Map Pack I've made. Usage is fairly straightforward (see the included readme/quote). Just be mindful this won't work on the most recent releases of the game, where custom map pack support is no longer present! Enjoy!

I see that you posted the pack over in the discord as well. After giving your gallery a look just now, I have some thoughts about it. I figure it would be more convenient to post them over on the discord, so I'll do that a bit later. In general though, nice work. Couple things in there that surprised me. (To my knowledge I'm the only one who's done those sorts of setups before now.)

The mapmaking crowd we've had has historically been pretty small, so nice to see others taking an interest.

Theyre gonna release a polished demo that has the boss in it some day (soon, allegedly) that will contain the boss and besides that the other levels will be in the full game, which will also release some day (soon, allegedly).

Bless you my dude. You did more, than developer in past 3 years.

Question for anyone who might know- will there be a scene unlocker for other alignment playthroughs after the game is cleared? Or if I get to the end, will I be unable to see the bad ending CG if I do a good playthrough? I get that HW wants replayability, but I seriously doubt Ill feel like beating the game in its entirety multiple times just to see one or two new scenes

IIRC he said there's not going to be a scene unlocker in it, but beating the game will unlock features that make it a ton easier to get the route you want

The fire boss itself has an animation right? Am I just dumb or can you not access it?

Man - I remember backing this game in the past but after quite some time with a huge lack of real updates, seeing how much they made monthly, later shown progress just didn't justify the amount of money that went into it. Seeing that the game still hasn't released confirms my assumptions. What a bummer.

devs just can sitting on bunch of money bags like Scrooge McDuck, and give lies hopes about full release.

Well, it looks like on the updates they've been giving show that they *just might* make a 2023 release. From what I understand from the bi-weekly updates, they're almost done? Maybe just the cutscenes they need to do along with some other things, I guess. And I think it's fine they needed to delay the release, since the game clearly was not finished xd.

Yea but if you look at the log from the previous 2 weeks it said Cutscenes left to implement 3 and then 2 weeks later it said cutscenes to implement 2 this dev is so full of shit he needs a giant sized plunger. I feel bad for the people that have waiting years for this game to be released only for the dev to keep lying to them. Its like a rabbit chasing a carrot on a stick they might get a little taste but they never actually get to it. Kinda sad but I hope its worth it for you guys when it finally comes out.

Yeah, but when it is "done", they have to submit it to steam which takes weeks to review, and if there is any tweaks (as in unacceptable bugs or unfinished content), they send it back for revisions. It's the last week of November, so it's cut pretty close. Considering the "polished demo" was supposed to be released only a week after the previous demo and now that's not happening altogether, I'm betting they've run into snags. 10 bucks says it's not going to hit it's 2023 deadline and suddenly it will be "steams fault", like 2022 summer.

Unfortunately, they're not present. I found out the hard way through manually text-editing the unencrypted .map files that the editor can only compile what it knows. In the older 0.36a version, the fire boss animations are missing as well as the entire ice boss.

Changelog for 0.51?

Is there anyone sponsoring Future Fragments?
















Patreon backers will have to wait before it is fully registered on Steam


Do I understand correctly?

Essentially, yeah. Patreon backers get the game as Steam keys earned from their patreon's questionnaire thing, from what I gather. So, it all hinges on how soon Steam gets the game out, and how many keys are sent at a time.

So at the ABSOLUTE earliest, we will see the full release on the 15th, though it could (and most likely will) take longer. Also hopefully this means full fire-level demo soon.

No game ever is accepted on day one of published submissions. It's all in the hands of the middle men in any storefront.
