Well, it boils down to "the devs thought it's a good idea" (spoiler: it wasn't) and it's pointless to focus on what might've made them think so. What's done is done.
Well that's a waste of resources.. They could have waited and used Godot for their next game but if they think it's good for them, sure. This is their brand after all.

GTX 550ti and i got the latest drivers installed
well there is your problem, even a first gen Ryzen APU from 2018 has more juice in its onboard GPU than your 2010 gpu.

Consider upgrading if not for compatibility for power saving, a 1630 or 6400 are far more recent and consumes less power than the 550ti, even a 1030 is a modest "recent" low budget option that would eventually save you enough money from the power bill to justify the change if budget has been your setback.

there's many reasons why dev's are moving to Godot and why its the fastest growing Engine over the past 2yrs, on top of it being Free and Open Source, and has rapid growth, with one of the most supportive communities out there:
1- Unity is poorly managed, and is actively trying to go against it's own userbase and trying to not be a game engine anymore
2- Unreal has gone full woke, they'll pull your license if you don't adhere to their ideology
3- Other engines are only made to do one thing, i.e. RPGMAKER and REN'PY, thus have severe limitations.

And then, in the end, for those who aren't happy... and who complain that they won't be playing the game,
I find it hard to understand. Pirates who don't play my game anymore.

Ya know what, I'm starting to feel vindictive. I threw away over $100 at you but you already got my money and in the end I'm going to have gotten nothing but spite from you, but that's fine now. I'll just become one of those asshats. You know the ones, that go to every listing you ever make to sell the game and give them more info about your game. Hit enough mods and eventually one of them will let their self righteousness get to em. So yeah, you won't. Fuck you too.

So when Noriko asks Saito for cunnilingus, we're in femdom.
When Noriko offers herself on the bed in her mother's room, she gives saito permission to do so. Femdom too
When Noriko finds herself in the bedroom with saito at the end, she takes charge. Femdom again.
Femdom refers to a woman who is a dominant partner in BDSM sexual activities. BDSM. A woman taking the initiative is not femdom lmfao

As for 2024-06-30, Debian 12 is not supported since it has glibc 2.36, not 2.38

RNGeusEX treating Linux users as second-class citizens is frustratingly common yet makes no sense (reminding me of good old days releasing HARDCODED)

Two questions:
1) Is "Linux" support is limited to Ubuntu?
2) Is there any hope?

To be fair, You are limited to whatever Godot builds when it comes to game builds, I don't know the full extent of compatible OSes but all of the actual "building" is handled by Godot itself.

Honestly I would just use Wine here. Not much reason to not in this games case.

Unless you are, ya know making one of those things. Then they're easy and smart to use. Wonder which of the two this is?
why shoebox yourself in? when you can become adept to a more versatile engine, and be able to make different kinds of games in the future? If all you wanna do is a copy and paste game for the rest of eternity, sure why not

OK. I know that I should not give a fuck, I'm needlessly poking a beehive, but...
Come on, my tolerance towards stupid shit is low.

[clipped quote]
I get that you're shaping the story the way that you enjoy it. Also that you'd rather focus on paying customers instead of leeching pirates. And, if you were highlighting either point, I'd tell you "go for it".

However you are not doing either here. You're calling people stupid by proxy, by expecting them to swallow such blatant bullshit. And Marcellus Wallace doesn't like to be called stupid by anyone, except by his dominatrix Mrs. Wallace.

You may not like my version of femdom
Calling a pineapple "my version of onion" doesn't magically bend reality and make it an onion. It is not female domination, period.

but it's the one that comes closest to reality.
You're implying that a more dominating behaviour would be "less realistic". People do crazier stuff in real life. Way crazier.

And this whole talk about reality is a red herring; porn games are all about fantasies, the opposite of an accurate representation of reality. And it's specially weird in a game where the protag undergoes a time loop.

If I stick to the definit...
Cut off the crap with this "ackshyually teh definishun".
Domination is about POWER - the domina[tor|trix] has power over the sub.

So when Noriko asks Saito for cunnilingus, we're in femdom.
A dominatrix doesn't ask. "Asking" is what powerless people do, like a submissive; a dom demands or allows it.

When Noriko offers herself on the bed in her mother's room, she gives saito permission to do so. Femdom too
A dom doesn't offer herself to the sub either, as relinquishing control over herself is a power reversal. She rewards the sub for a good work, allowing him/her to get some pleasure as he/she services the dom.

When Noriko finds herself in the bedroom with saito at the end, she takes charge. Femdom again.
If taking charge was all that was necessary for a domination dynamic, all couples out there would be dom/sub couples. You're grasping at straws and odds are that you know it.

And then, in the end, for those who aren't happy... and who complain that they won't be playing the game. I find it hard to understand. Pirates who don't play my game anymore.
You could be honest and say "I don't care about what pirates say"; or you could be polite and pretend that you care. Feigning stupidity through an "I don't understand", for the sake of passive aggressiveness, is the worst of both worlds.

Past that, you're framing it wrong. What people are saying here boils down to "this game isn't even worth pirating, let alone paying". I think that it's a bit too harsh but it is not the stuff that you can brush off with "lalala I'm not listening lalala those are pirates lalala" like you're doing.

And that is not just about Noriko's femdom-but-only-in-name route. Look from the players' PoV what your engine decision means: huge delay for a release that is mostly uninteresting, with new "arbitrary" requirements, and more bugs than the Amazon jungle and Oz combined. Pirates might be fairly vocal about it, but the paying players are likely just dropping the game - "I already paid for this, I'm not wasting my time with feedback".

Also consider that your current paying customers are likely watching your meltdown, and your approach towards criticism, reconsidering if they should keep supporting your game.

You don't "shoebox yourself in" by completing a VN in engine made for making VNs. It doesn't prevent you from picking similarly appropriate engine for your next project, if your next project happens to be something other than a VN.

I mentioned this some comments ago; I got the same issue under Mint. The typical solution is to compile the executable for a slightly older version of the system, he's likely doing it for Ubuntu 24.04 (numbat), while 22.04 (jellyfish) would be saner.
That's yet another thing that he wouldn't need to care about with Ren'Py. Oh well.
If you have WINE installed, the game runs as bad as natively, but not worse. Alternatively, if you don't want to dirty your system with it, VMing Ubuntu is always an option.

Wait, people really use Linux here?
We do?

Or even a future visual novel. It's not that the choice of Ren'Py over Godot makes more sense for VN in general, but the fact that this choice was made AFTER the project was already started in Ren'Py, that makes it a terrible choice.

Nah, c'mon guys, some of you are acting childishly and stupidly. Who cares about little dissatisfactions here or there in femdom route. If you're SO obsessed w/ being dominated, get out of ya houses and go find REAL girls, then. Stop poluting the critical sense in the comments section with your pooch desires, specially if you don't even PAY for the game subscription.

Technically, it does, since RenPy comes with lot of pre-built stuff aimed at minimizing effort needed to produce your typical VN. If you opt for a more generic engine, you have to effectively reinvent the wheel, implementing this kind of framework on your own (or do things manually and the hard way) It's just... not really worth the effort, unless you're intent on producing some sort of weird hybrid rather than typical VN. (and even when it comes to these, it's not like people haven't made even fairly complicated RPGs in RenPy)
