thx

So he makes the switch to a new engine saying itll make everything better, and then it doesn't and makes everything worse and now the game is completely fucked up and updates are delayed indefinitely with no clear release area from now on. nice

Well, he needed to be able to sell this game on GOG and it has to use a specific engine (I do not think they accept RenPy), which I personally fully support. There are always growing pains.
Let's hope all bugs are fixed and the game is back to functional.

Does anybody know where the wifi router is? I know it's in the living room but I can't seem to find it

The upper right corner on top of a shelf, it is white and hard to see.

There's plenty of ren'py games on gog you can even get Love and Sex there. The only reason for engine change was dev teams egos; they wanted to be perfectionists, and they now have real engine problems. Should have focused on releasing their first game and getting some money and reputation from the finished product while still sucking on patreon/subscribestar.

I agree with you; they’re real perfectionists. The way they keep the game under 1 GB while maintaining high-quality visuals, and then adding extra encryption functions to the Ren'Py version to prevent reverse engineering (even though some people still managed to get around it =]]). It’s impressive.

In my opinion, switching engines is a massive challenge, with an overwhelming amount of work and countless bugs to fix. Personally, I’d never take on something like that unless I absolutely had no other choice

Almost November #Devlog

Like many of you, I thought the worst was behind us. However, our latest internal beta tests have revealed a critical bug, the kind that ruins the game experience and completely blocks progress.

To make things even more complicated, this bug only appears on the Windows version of the game. Due to the severity of the issue and the very unfavorable timing, we currently have no visibility on the time required to resolve it. Nevertheless, we are doing everything we can, as always, to address it as quickly as possible.

This brings me to discuss the deadlines we set. We establish them primarily for you, our backers, who deserve to know when the next version will be available. However, with the game engine change, this deadline has become an added pressure, as we face unexpected issues related to this new development environment.

I’d rather be honest with you: we can’t continue like this. This might be hard to understand for some, but it’s essential—even vital. My role is to ensure that the people working with me can do so in the best possible conditions. Constantly imposing unachievable deadlines brings the team closer and closer to burnout, something we must absolutely avoid.

From now on, the next updates will be released when they’re ready. This might be risky, but without this change, I’m not sure I can preserve the mental health of the team, nor my own.

Let’s end on a positive note: the storyline for version 0.11 is 90% complete, and it will forever change the story of Goodbye Eternity. Three new female characters will also make their debut: Erika, Nobu’s older sister; Hanako, Kenji’s mother; and Tsubaki, Takeo’s girlfriend.

Once again, I apologize for not being able to meet my commitments as planned, but please know that this doesn’t change our dedication to this project. We will continue to work hard to deliver the best possible version to you.

Thank you for sharing. This is one of my most anticipated games to play and I've been holding off as I had read this new update was coming. I sincerely hope it still is able to be released sometime in the near future. I intended on subbing to the Patreon as soon as the update came -- I've been really excited to play this one, sucks we'll have to wait a bit longer I guess, though, if it means it'll be done right, then it'll be worth it to be patient!

Thank you. I did not know about RenPy games on GOG.

Yeah, I also prefer well-developed games, even if they take more time. Let's hope it is worth the wait.

Just want to add that this release model where we get a full story arc with characters is the best one out there.
We are not being teased until the very last game release. We got Asami right away, then Yasuka (sadly no anal... that's criminal she has to have an anal scene), then we got Sakuya and Noriko (the most surprising and amazing release ever!).
Thank you RNGeusEX, I am sure once everyone calms down they will see things the same way. We appreciate all that you do.

I just started this recently and I'm curious. What's the structure of this game? Does it have branching routes, or a linear progression with varying focus on each heroine depending on your choices?

I went for Yasuka from the beginning and friendzoned befriended Asami, but then Sakuya's section happened and treated Asami almost like another lover. I thought the script there was written expecting you've taken "Asami love" route, so I tried to restart and do that for completion's sake. But then the events went differently, and I'm wondering if it's a different route or it's just extra events that will lead back into what I saw the first time.

Also, a few times I've seen screens like attached one. What does it mean by "Asami's storyline" and "main story"? How do I "come back"?

This further convinces me to wait for the next big update if it's going to be that major. I'm gonna be jumping right on it as soon as it releases, but I definitely would rather have a more-complete experience with what the dev has been hard at work putting together Thanks for the response!

This sounds like something a shareholder would say to a dev team. They've already gone out of their way to take on the monumental task of switching engines simply because Ren'py couldn't handle the animations that they wanted for the game.
It makes a world's difference for the dev pipeline when an engine is and isn't built for something.
The Godot release was...functional, nothing too game-breaking, but the sex animations were phenomenal. I say let them cook.

Hey, wait a sec. The dev's log post for October references v. 0.10, but then the November log post references 0.11 story being 90% done -- which update is the one that's coming next? Is v. 0.10 available to patrons at this point?

 

[Redsedila]

bruhh tbh now i need 0.10 and 0.11 at the same time !! so the dev can really take time to fix and work on the 0.12 update peacefully !!! And i hope we get update by December and i mean both 0.10 and 0.11 update !!

The next update will be 0.10 (for which the story and all GFX have been done already), but of course they've already started working on the story for 0.11, which is about 90% done, but the GFX for 0.11 are probably still missing or being worked on. And no, 0.10 isn't available yet.

 

[Hecatonchire]

Does the scenes in Noriko maledom route are replayable in 9.1 ?

Hey, thanks for the rundown!

Why are the download files linking straight to .exe files? Aren't they usually zips?

Version 0.9.1 is a single .exe file, you just run it and play.

Please help me figure out what's the deal with Noriko.
