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

[Oddball2k]

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...

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!

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!

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".

I think that it has been re remastered since then - right now only Ch2 of the newest one is out, but the release of up to Ch 5 of the new new version is imminent. Last note a couple weeks ago noted that there was a delay due to the funding platform for voice actors dropping NSFW content, but the issue has been resolved. If I were in your shoes I would wait for the release of chapter 5 instead of playing the older version up to chapter 4.
If you haven't played at all yet, you are in for a treat though, this game is one of the best I have played, I am constantly checking for updates.

On the first post, Ch. 4 Remastered means "chapters 1 to 4 remastered". What your screenshot shows is "chapters 1 and 2 reremastered", this newest version doesn't cover yet the preceding one, so no chapter 3.

The new remaster has only had the first two chapters released, the next release will include chapters 1-5.

You must be registered to see the links

from Notty... Charging is still off, VA work is being completed and the game is being play-tested.

You are suggesting that the dev is randomly making posts detailing the progress and delays while not charging on their Patreon?

To what end?

No he's just discouraged by the endless extensions of "it's almost done" that we continually hear.

We're all anxiously waiting & hoping it is finally released as the Dev's work is such high quality.

You might think of it as the Crew of the good ship Heavy - 5 grumbling ("grumble, grumble, grumble")
with a little "Are we there yet?" thrown in.

It'll come out someday. When?? No one on the development team knows. Even the Dev herself, doesn't.

Only God knows!

This and Rebel Moon are great examples of why some creators who are undoubtedly talented need creative oversight. I haven't been to this thread since the release of CH4 remastered and we're still at the same place? Not just that, but we're Re-Remastering the game? I'm sure stoked about Re-Re-Remastered version that is inevitably coming after CH5 Re-Remastered for the eventual CH6.

I understand the desire to create a magnum opus to end all stories when writing, but it's really better to have a finished good story than unfinished perfect one. I'm fairly confident that if none of the remasters happened even with all the RL delays the author suffered this game would already be finished or at the very least nearing completion. Instead it's not even halfway in.

It does look as if for a lot of people supporting all the reremasters is a game more fun than the game itself, I, for sure, had a lot of fun reading through some flame wars in the thread.
