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

[I'm Not Thea Lundgren!]

I've not played this because the remake was coming soon... for months. How soon? And will it cover up to the current latest content in one big release? Or will there be similar lengths of time between every remake update to get current?

I think i'd rather have just played the original at this point.

The remaster was due a while back, but Notty ran into a couple of problems with the new code. She's fixed one of those and removed the other for now (the gallery). She then went off to fix a couple of renders. She came back with what you saw on the previous couple of pages. (Different skin colours for MC and option for Female MC). She's gone off now to finish those bits off.

We hope to have something out by Christmas. (That's not official though, so don't quote me on it!)

It has been continually improved (particularly in terms of render quality) and expanded on many levels, and as TNT mentioned there were numerous issues that needed time to fix.

As for how soon, we don't know. It can be tomorrow just as well as in a few weeks. It all depends on how much work recently added additions of gender and race options (originally planned to be added after the game's conclusion) will take so that the release is as polished and bug free as possible.

And no, it will almost certainly not be all three chapters in one. That would be impossible to finish before the year is over. Most likely it will be released chapter by chapter as they get done.

Wishing Notty all the best with the game progress and personal life, and hope it all pans out like she plans. I've been involved in a few ambitious projects where 'feature creep' derailed progress and ended up stretching deadlines to the point where the whole thing became unsustainable. In comparison, the ones where we went a little more modest with scope, nailed down the objectives and structure at the beginning and stuck to the plan, allowing for a little flex and tweaks along the way - those we got done, and got the completion high we needed to go for the next one.

Obviously, every situation is different, and this might be the right choice for her. Just hope the added workload doesn't become too much of a burden. No dev should have to suffer burnout on a passion project. Anyway, looking forward to the new pretties, whenever they may arrive.

Guess we will have to put 'remastered' in the title soon then...

Also for the one asking about the size of the game. Notty made a remark that even after all the changes and additions she made, part 1 remastered will be around half the size of the original part 1 she expects due to better compression and use of file types. When it will be available is unsure still, but testing is going on and should be done soonish by a few more people. If nothing bad comes out of that the release should not be very far away.

I believe everyone should try the original just to see the warp in quality in the remaster.... effin hair physics!

Not only the better graphics, according to Notty there are also quite a few additions to the original game she could not add with her old comp besides the gender and race changes, so her recommendation is that everyone should try new version even if not needed to play chapter 4 when she gets to that point. (No will not be in a few weeks likely unfortunately ).

If not, Spiderperv is your new nickname.

I think it's better to quell the excitement until Notty tells us the only thing left to do is to upload it. And even then it's probs better to wait until that progresses to at least 70%.

If what he calls tier 1 is the $1 (wich I often see referred as tier 0) I've never seen any dev give them the game, it only give access to development posts

I only played the first chapter before, so there are any sexual scene or very erotic in this new versions?

Not many, most of them will be starting in chapter 4.

RIP wishing for a before Christmas release.

Work and testing is going on atm, based on information on Notty's forum bugs are being squashed and updated. No promises on when that will be finished though. Looks not very far away, but def not today or tomorrow and may well be another week.
