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

[HentaiWriter]

HentaiWriter and anyone responding: I had some monitor with unusual dimensions that displays showed badly on and that also didn't allow some computers to use their keyboards hooked up at 1 point, are you sure monitors never effect things?

That really sounds bizarre, I mean I can see a monitor not being calibrated to work with a computer's dimensions (although modern computers/monitors shouldn't have this issue ever using stock stuff, you'd have to really try to break it in terms of dimensions not working accurate on it either by a non-standard monitor or non-standard OS).

But for the computer not being able to use its keyboard, yeah, that should never ever happen solely from the monitor, as a monitor only receives input, it never sends it back to the computer, so it would have no way to disable anything outside of the computer failing to use a keyboard if the port the monitor is plugged into is somehow overlapping the other ports on the computer/taking priority over them within the computer's systems, but this is again total theory and i've never heard of anyone having that issue ever.

-Edit: Could Tor Browser cause it at all? I know it likes to mess with it's own window size in unusual ways, though I don't see why that would effect anything but Firefox.

Same thing, the game never accesses or runs in a browser outside of clicking the one link to go to the GameJolt page, so no browser should ever actually affect it.

Don't rush. The biggest complaint I've been seeing about games is tacked-on half-assed endings due to time, so maybe at least rounding it up to January, 2021 would be best.

Oh it's definitely coming out in 2020, we have the majority of the game done by far, and the endings are already done, we just mainly have the script, true final boss fight, voicework, rework of ice/fire level mechanics and a few other things to do.

There haven't been any demos since v0.44 in October/November, the next monthly demo is coming at the end of February/start of March.

We're aiming to get the game out by May 2020 at best, before the end of 2020 at the absolute latest.

Trying to get it done as fast as possible but we don't want to release an incomplete game either; we're probably 80% done overall with the game.

What is this? An end in sight! Finally a long term project reaching an end point! Now if I could only say the same for MatM. Oh wait...

Same thing, the game never accesses or runs in a browser outside of clicking the one link to go to the GameJolt page, so no browser should ever actually affect it.

Trying it on a noticeably larger screen caused it to put the taskbar past the top of the screen so I cant reach the mouse over it to drag it and puts it over half a dozen pixels past the left of said screen. It puts the play screen at least a pixel length past the top, too. Size-wise there was a little more than enough space on that screen to fit it in each direction, too. It didn't have dpi settings greater than my usual monitor, though.

Trying it on the tv made it appear in the opposite corner and it let me drag it to the center, almost like it was too obviously out of excuses at that point. Does it really need to actually be greater than and not equal to 1080 resolution in each direction to work? I can't use the tvs, though. 1 is in the main room and the 1 in my bedroom would be just as awkward physically to play it on.

Are you sure Irfanview isn't causing this? I don't know what could be altering the positions or size besides the 1 that changes the positions of pics in my browser while it sits in a different spot in the hard drive than the browser files.

What resolution are you running in the game?

 

[James3]

What resolution are you running in the game?

Huh, I guess it doesn't show up in thread searches and post lists when you post a screenshot. 1920 x 1080 (recommended), "Landscape" (If that matters) and just find my post if you need anything else, it's 1 page back from this 1.

That lesbian tag better be real......

*Edit* Never mind I found the info.

There's one lesbian scene in the game that we'll be putting in later, and there is a semi-lesbian scene in the Electric Level.

Well back to searching again... Good luck on the game.

Yeah, the game is not heavily covered with lesbian scenes; I did do a yuri game that ended up getting canceled for a lot of reasons if you want to try it out, over at

You must be registered to see the links

I do plan to do more yuri games in the future, with the experience I've gotten from Future Fragments as well as Reclaim Reality and the latter's issues with design and mechanics and such.

Newer versions of the game will have less content than v0.27F; for more information read "Disclaimer" above.
I don't quite full understand by less content that "v0.27F" does that mean that the Latest version (which is ver. 0.44) has less content than ver. 0.27F????? Cause im confused which to download right now...

Yes, this is the case; v0.27F has far more content than the later versions.

The other versions are effectively tech demos and have much less playable content per demo.

We're doing it this way so that we don't have to redo the art, writing, audio, etc. for the whole game anytime we change stuff due to playtesting, instead, we only have to change things within that localized level.

Once the game is complete and the script and all assets are done, we'll link all the levels together into the full game with all content present, so that every level has even more content than the v027F demo per level.

NOTED
Thanks for the notice and I wish you the best of luck in finishing the game

 

[Cylon]

So I'm sure this has been covered at some point, but how do we get the finished game?

 

[Tsugumi]

Cylon Are you asking about the game's distribution model in the future (when it's finished)? If not, check two posts above yours. The game is not yet complete.

 

[HentaiWriter]

So I'm sure this has been covered at some point, but how do we get the finished game?

If you pledged $10 or more cumulatively ($1 10 times, $5 2 times, or $10 in one shot) on Patreon, you'll get an email when the game's complete asking you how you'd like the game to be sent to you (direct download or a key on any site besides Steam; unfortunately, due to Steam regulations, I can only give out Steam keys if you pledged $20 or more).

If you didn't pledge on Patreon, you'll be able to get it for $20 on Steam, Mikandi, Denpasoft, MangaGamer, JAST, FAKKU, Itch.io, Gamejolt, and DLSite.

Is there any downside to getting the direct download instead of a key? Maybe future updates after the release or something?

 

[zarqupang]

question so when it's finished do those of us with out money are jobs get a way to get it if not that's cool with me. least i got to play the demo's and had some fun too.

We're on a piracy forum right now. That should tell you enough.

 

[HentaiWriter]

We'd attempt to send out patches through email but yeah, that would be the biggest inconvenience.

We're on a piracy forum right now. That should tell you enough.

Ideally people wouldn't pirate it day one, because if we lose most of our sales to that, we're gonna have a harder time making more games and/or being able to afford assets for said future games, as basically more money = more games and higher quality ones too, and the majority of sales for a game come in the first 3 or so months.

But there's not much we can do to stop that besides requesting it of course.

I'm all for not sharing the game right away. Not that that matters to me, as I should be getting the game anyway, but still. It's like the crack for Paralogue only being published a week after release out of respect for the devs. People still ask for it, though, so I don't know how likely it is for people to wait on this game.

Patreon can track that? Then damn, I don't know if that's the norm but, it makes me happy that you're retroactively rewarding people who has supported you.

 

[HentaiWriter]

Patreon can track that? Then damn, I don't know if that's the norm but, it makes me happy that you're retroactively rewarding people who has supported you.

They can, but I track it myself; I have three sets of databases/sheets that track when a person pledged, what they pledged, their email, their reward info they want (like username and all that they want in the game for credits or in the background or characters etc), and I hand email them (no email bots) so I can make sure to address each person's stuff personally.

We also use this system because if you pledge once to the $20 or $50 tiers, you get that reward forever and all updates to it even if you never pledge again, and you don't have to stay pledged to the credits or background or databank character tiers to get those rewards either.

I'm a really big believer of you getting your money's worth, so I'm happy to do this
