Others Goodbye Eternity [v0.11.0] [RNGeusEX]

[theMickey_]

Does anyone have a full save file for version 9.1?

I'd suggest to wait for 0.10, which should be out in about 2 weeks, because 0.9.1 saves won't work with the new version, we'll have to start over anyways (or use the new "veteran's mode"). For more details, see this.

Apparently, lame ass RNG hasn’t said a word on his discord server since the 24th or 25th (off topic). Guess he knows he’s out of excuses.

Now, he’s got his little payday puppet spinning more BS for him.

So since coding guys are taking extra time to resolve CPU threading issues, does that mean that art and story are still being developed at the same pace?
Are we to expect the next update sooner? Or is it going to be another 2-3 months wait after this delay?

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.

It's always the same pattern on those kind of games: they all aim to become the next summertime saga and delay as much as possible, you can't trust any of them because tbh if I was making an adult game, I would do exactly the same: people will pay because they don't know how gamedev works and how lazy you are. I've been a gamedev for a decade now so I know what I'm talking about.

Is there a walkthrough?

 

[dewrules]

I appreciate the developer's honesty. Making games is not easy, and this is not simple, RenPy. The developer wants to make Goodbye Eternity in the engine he can sell on GOG. All that makes sense although disappointing and I hope his coding team is not taking him for a ride trying to milk him.

Expanding on the existing game sounds interesting. RNGeusEX took the correct approach, getting routes with characters fully completed one by one. I've seen games that were developed for years, and although you would have tons of characters, with amazing art and animations, you have not had any sex with any of them (except some Rando characters for the tags).

So thank you for completing Noriko and Yasuka routes. Yasuka is missing an essential anal scene in my opinion, but overall game delivered the conclusion with the main characters, characters that attracted us to the game in the first place.
Kudos dev. Everything else is an icing on the top.

Its getting very close to that it starts with delays then slow updates become the norm then the uptates become small even tho still taking a ton of time

This workaround has worked for me to avoid the crashes.

1. Start the game
2. Open the Task Manager
3. In the Details section, find the game process (should be something like Goodbye_Eternity-vXXXX.exe)
4. Right click on the game process, select "Set affinity"
5. Untick ALL the CPUs, except for one (I leave CPU 0 ticked). Click on the OK button
6. Play the game as normal

Before, the game crashed within the first minute. After doing this, I've been playing for almost an hour without a single crash.

If this works for you, leave a comment.

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

 

[Vega Cifer]

A shame we can't get with the mom if you choose the daughter. I'll have to start a new route for her to see it. But damn 3 new characters eh? Can't wait to see it, even tho I have a feeling some will not be uhhh, smashable. Or wait, they probably all will be...this will be interesting

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

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.

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

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.
