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

[I'm Not Thea Lundgren!]

Oh and we have a completely new tutorial btw!

All of the old gubbins is out and Becca now explains about naming saves etc as well.

Ooh, shiny! That should help a few people out, but please tell me that we'll still see Becca in the tutorial and that you haven't replaced her with a voiceover and screenshots!?

It seems Face Palm doesn't add likes...

Is it bad that everytime I see this pic I just want to reach out and squeeze?

Not in the slightest, otherwise we're all bad, wait a minute, if we're all bad because we want to reach out and squeeze, doesn't that mean we're all good?

*noddities*

It's a compromise of course. Some will prefer named saves, some won't. But at least this way it works, doesn't bugger anything up (which is very important!) and yet still helps the player have some order at least.

Well, it seems clear to me now, that if it really doesn't mess things up, it would be a good move to expand this.

I think new players would appreciate it, people who already switched to named system would appreciate it, and even people who would have to make some rearrangements would appreciate it because having more slots per page is much more beneficial in the long run, regardless of adopting named pages or not. Especially, in a game with a lot of branches.

IMO, the pros outweigh the cons, particularly if it's done sooner than later.

I've no idea how to add more slots per page. Sorry!

Though I agree with you on principle, if you have to scrolldown half an hour on a page, you are more or less back at the same situation as with unnamed save pages, just with a lot more saves.

Yep

 

[Nottravis]

Same that I doubt that what she wears when you spend an evening gaming with her is a coincidence after she invited you over.

Yep

Now that is a lot better.

 

[Akamari]

I've no idea how to add more slots per page. Sorry!

Fair enough, just saying my opinion that it could be a good idea to look into that. It is, of course, entirely up to you.

What? I didn't suggest any scrolling? You can fit a decent amount of slots in a page without scrolling...

Exaggeration is one way to makes one's point. Edit: I meant I was giving an exaggerated example, more saves a page might be nice, but not when they become to many.

Sorry, but I don't get yours.

I just asked Runey if he can explain it easily, it's close to my bed time, but I am sure if he responds before I wake up, someone else in that thread will pass on the info.

I did just show 20 per page with no scrolling.

OK, then we are in agreement. As with everything, striking a good balance is key. The whole purpose of it is to be more user friendly.

Guys, you gotta remember firstly I'm not a coder. It's a miracle anything works!

Plus I have my hands full re-writing huge chunks of One plus the remaster plus getting Four out. I honestly just can't do it.

However, speaking of Four.....NEWS!

I have feedback - which for your education, information and all round nosiness reproduce here for you

 

[DA22]

Looks like TNJ is having a blast and you are teasing her as well. Yeah more saves a page is not really highest priority. Might be nice to look into when you have time, but you have plenty on your plate already, especially when you decide to remaster three as well when look how nice and shiny chapters 1, 2 and 4 look when you are finished with them.

Well on Three my plan was really only to redo the hallways....

Actually most of it looks great. Seems like I started to get my shit together on that one! The graphics card helped for sure there of course as I could run more iterations and make more complex lighting in less time. But....*eyes Sarah's room and gets twitchy*

EDIT: Aye I might look at more saves per page once Four is out - but only if it doesn't screw anything up!

You are pulling a lot of miracles then. It's comparatively rather complex game.

Plus I have my hands full re-writing huge chunks of One plus the remaster plus getting Four out. I honestly just can't do it.

Perfectly understandable. Sorry, if I looked too insistent on this (was actually trying to avoid that). Just something I thought worth considering.

Goodness, it took me a minute before I got the joke.

If you fancy re-doing anything, just do it... but if the thought of getting more into the rabbit hole of re-rendering is really getting to you, just sit on your hands! Just remember to keep your hands still, we don't want you getting -too- distracted

 

[Akamari]

But....*eyes Sarah's room and gets twitchy*

Yeah, I can see why. But it's not your job to clean up after her!

Would you stop reminding me of that song?!
