Ren'Py Abandoned Heavy Five [Ch.2RS] [Nottravis]

[Oddball2k]

The easiest solution would seem to be to force a save and load to generate a new list. I don't know if that can be done seamlessly and that certainly isn't an elegant solution.

Brute force is not her coding style by default. I'm expecting for a more elegant and sophisticated solution from her, but it could be a first.. Something like a crunch time necessity, meebe..

Anyway, Chap5RS is coming soon with all the previous RS Chapters. For all the readers, stay tuned!!!

Thank you for keeping us in the loop.
I love this game and am looking forward to seeing my sweetie pie Chris again.

Well yes, it seems to be sufficient when the mini-games are as stand-alone modules.

As the designer of Renpy himself states: "Each time Ren'Py starts, an infinite list of random numbers is created, and a pointer starts off at the start of this list. Everytime you take a random number, this pointer gets advanced one spot down the list".

It's like a lottery machine with numbered balls: each time a ball is drawn, it is not replaced into the lottery machine.

Um, no, that's not it?

Spoiler: Random PRNG stuff that's probably too boring/pedantic for anyone :ROFLMAO::rolleyes:

Putting aside CompSci flashbacks , looking forward to Chapter5

To those that have been holding their breaths for the updates....rest in peace.

Remember being so excited in Jan-19 discovering the game. Used to check my patreon for updates constantly whereas now it is really depressing reading the latest monthly patreon delay update.
Wonder has the experienced project manager run off in exasperation.

Don't fall apart so close to the end of this 23 months gap in the release production. Notty went through tough life challenges, physically and mentally, and also made tough decisions about Heavy Five.. Not because they were easy to do, but because they were hard to implement.

You do know how Heavy Five evolved, from a simple AVN in 2019, to an actual game with much better renders(characters and environment) and its prime feature: freeroam with navigation maps(sandbox).. Something that was inevitably needed in respect to the amount of possible choices!

Don't you think she is totally fed up working on Chap1R-4Rs?! Code-wise, this has been a nightmare but the animations and VA lately got her back into the highest possible mood spirit.
The Chapter5RS is in its final beta version, stable with all the previous RS chapters.. You shouldn't be depressed about that but more relived.

Heavy Five Chapter5RS is coming and it will be huge!

How huge are we talking about, size wise ?

And as for the coding, I can relate when I was trying to become a web dev... Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, must work, from front-end to back-end. It is a living hell especially if it's a big project for a company. Working in IT is very difficult...

Will the MC finally realise that her sister is a beauty and that she deserves some attention?

I think Chris has got that covered, though she'll probably show you when she's done.

Hi All!

Just found this game and would like to try it. Since above it's mentioned chapter 5 is coming which will include all previous chapters shall i wait for that? Or shall i download what's on the front page? Though i see chapter 1 & 2 is together with chapter 4 being a separate download but can't seem to see chapter 3. So not sure what to do. Probably best to wait till 5 and get everything together?

Game is being remade. Chapter 4 includes the old version of chapters 1-4. Chapter 5 release will include the remastered chapters 1-5, just wait a couple weeks for the release.

Code size wise, in her last Patreon February post, she said and I quote:
"The coding for Five, for example, is bigger than the coding requirements for the previous four chapters combined (There is a lot going on in Five...) "
Defo not the first time she mentioned it..

She even referred Chapter Five RS combined to "this monster".. Quite something!

I'll be relieved when i play it, till then i'll stay depressed after reading the latest issue that has put it on hold.

Yeah, I'm still not 100% sure what Gumroad has to do with the voice actors... if it's a payment thing, just find another payment processor the VAs will agree to use.

And just like that the VA woes are over and VA work has recommenced. I thought it would be relatively simple and that Notty was panicking over a small problem.

Or maybe the speed and ease with which they dealt with it undercuts how difficult it was to surmount, but they made it seem "Super Easy, Barely An Inconvenience".

Fornax, the last 3 downloads I tried to do using Pixeldrain all were slower than a snail in fact they seemed to die in place, I paid for this subscription, fix the god damned problem

Cant access windows links for ch.4 remastered. Can you please add a gofile link for that.
