VN Ren'Py Giant Guardians [v0.3.76] [Giant Guardians]

[Downloader4]

I wonder what the requirements are to go up another big version. Like, I wonder what needs to happen for the game to go to v0.4.0, I presume there were v0.2.x and v0.1.x before, what changes for the version to up a big step?

Nothing major I think

They used to increase the number every ten updates I think, but now they go on and on. I'd say because they want to prolong the development as long as possible as it's generating money for them on Patreon.

Not even remotely true of what their doing

Remind me again what exactly is their shtick? I know people talked about it, but it was a while ago...

My guess is when they change the art style and update the old images?
Or when the upgrade/update isn't a bugfix,update of the route, a new route? Like a new menu or gallery ?

From changelogs I noticed these changes

Version 0.2.1 (Pretty sure 0.2.0 doesn't exist, couldn't find it here or kemono)
- New gallery system.
- New cover image.


Version 0.3.0
-Now you can access the guest characters stories directly (Side stories > Guest characters).
-New main menu image.

I don't have the starting and ending versions so I can't check that myself

Probably in a 0.4.0 version they will include an interesting feature, like showing requirements for unlocking each scene

I believe you are too eager for seeing the game finished and download the full game at once

 

[Riaru767]

Someone have the update?

 

[Chumgum]

I'm willing to bet that Kendra and Maryen are going to share an illustration again. Kendra does that a lot

Ah, yes. What an audacity, to be wanting a finished game.
How dare he expect developers to ever finish their games.

Edit: I'm actually fine with how GG is being developed, the content is being added regularly and the quality is consistent.
But it did get pretty bloated with all the characters and their routes.

Why is that?
Also, I was imagining something like indication of interest increasing or decreasing with an animated icon after every dialogue choice. Sounds usefull to navigate through story, but at the same time it would kind of ruin the whole point of this interest system, since you may simply follow the best path by reloading after every choice.

And what's wrong with that? I believe any game that's ever been made is aimed to bring money to its creator. The question is not if the devs get paid, but how much they demand and what offer in return. Right now, by looking at the patreon thanking page and how big it is, the whole system still works. It doesn't mean that artificial night does their job perfectly though, not at all actually.

Giant Guardians' kemono page last updated over three weeks ago.

Honestly this may have some truth to it, we were told they would be working on main cast stories but they keep on adding new characters. Makla, Kive, and who knows who else. Just saying that if this keeps up they'll either hit burn out or lose supporters.

By main cast didn't they mean everyone but guest characters? How do you even tell who's the main cast among all characters? What is the main arc right now? Viridice-Lycalis war? The fall of Keisiema? That Timfalme businesses?

 

[Chumgum]

They are working on the main cast of characters, the new characters added are part of the main cast… There main plan is to build the world of GG just like One Piece, so don’t expect anything different in the future…

One piece is 27 years old. If these guys really are trying to go for that size and keep adding more characters with only 5 updated a month we're going to be waiting a long time to see an ending.
