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

[Nottravis]

Final full build compiling now.

Some of the compressed images lost a little too much quality and so had to be reverted or upscaled but the file is still not too bad a size for the sheer volume it contains.

1,945 final still images, excluding location ones for the chapter. This excludes the images needed for the bonus content, as well, so I think we can call it "Over 2,000" without any problems. Wordcount? North of 60 thou easy.

Plus, ofc, 73 animations for this chapter which required waaaaaaaaaaaaaay over 8,000 renders in production.

This bugger shot past the 10,000 render mark without me even noticing...

Letting the testers have the release build one last time - and then let's get this out shall we?

Wooh Congrats!

I'm so excited, I can't believe i'll finally get to play it.

After waiting so long it's almost here, the anticipation is killing me.

1 was okay, 2 was great but 3 is going to be awesome.

Watchdogs Legion is out tomorrow......


So, what we talking about here today?

About cyberpunk getting delayed again??

About cyberpunk getting delayed again??

I'm pretending that didn't happen and isn't another in a string of delays.

I see people praise the decision and sure, delaying if something isn't right is the way to go, but not mere days after telling your fan base the game has gone gold.

The worst part of it is reading the stuttery excuse as they try to redefine what going gold actually means.

They were the chosen ones and they are messing it up.

I read that people were sending them death threats and all...

apparently it's in the publishing contract that every version has to come out at the same time and the stadia version, to no ones surprise, is a pile of shite so buckle up boys and girls it could be a while.

Notty, is the game still going to be the same amount of chapters it was originally planned?


As an aside, I read a tweet from the Cyberpunk twitter to a guy yesterday saying the day of release wasn't delayed and he should get his holiday off work for it. Next day boom delay.

I hope they made the game very moddable, so it can become the new go to for AAA porn games, like Skyrim, just with piston dick hermaphrodites gangbanging and gang banging through the land.

 

[Avaron1974]

the stadia

Really needs to be purged. It's a blight to gaming.

The remastered is a lot bigger than the original so, I dunno. The production capacity could be a real handicap for some chapters. If this one took 10,000 renders I could easily see chapters Five and Six going north of 20,000 without blinking.

With one machine that would take an age and given my games relatively low popularity I suspect I'll just have to be realistic and split those chapters in two instead of planning on more powah.

you wont have to be concerned about the low popularity for much longer. Once this is released and people see how good it is, im sure its going to be pretty popular..

Thanks. I hope so. If I had two or even three machines the things I could do....

There is so much to like in this one. Even though it's been a bumpy road and has taken an age, it's a damned good piece of work if I say so myself. All the new tools and mechanisms work, the free roam is nicely intuitive, hidden content abounds and yet isn't required so no getting stuck, the main modules zing and Chadwicks module is something delightful

But what's been an absolute joy has been watching the testers finding new content by changing decision paths and actions weeks after they started playing. I've lost track of how many hours they've played now but "many, many" would be a fair estimate. Replayability with no grind? Got it in spades

 

[DanteRed]

Wow, can't believe that we are so close to the release of chapter 3. I wanted to thank you for your passion and dedication. I'm sorry to see that the game isn't as popular as it should be but I'm sure that one day you'll get there.

Wish you the best of luck!

Thank you. I'm sorry it's taken so long to get this bugger out but I think it'll be worth it. Something for everyone for sure.

 

[Krynh]

nd the stadia version, to no ones surprise, is a pile of shite so buckle up boys and girls it could be a while.

Stadia is a linux build with vulcan, it's not that hard to develop with according to Larian. More like the management are bad with estimates.

 

[Sheppard3rd]

Is someone so nice to me to tell when the update is?
