Ren'Py Abandoned Hero's Harem Guild [v0.1.2.3b Public] [Komisari]

[peterppp]

give me a day or so and I'll start porting this one to new renpy versions like the v0.1.3 is

Once I port everything, I will build for mac.

dude, friendly advice. you know you have problems with estimating how long things take, so don't keep saying stuff like "a day or so".

every time you want to write day, you write few months, every time you want to write month, you write year. every time you want to write year, you write 10 years.

instead of saying "give me a day or so to fix it, then another month and i'll release it for mac, then in a year, i'll release another update" you would say "give me a few months or so to fix it, then another year and i'll release it for mac, then in 10 years, i'll release another update".

this way, you can never disappoint people. everyone is happy

Or just be straight:
It comes out when it comes out.
Y'all can unsub anytime.

Gotta say for 3 years worth "development" it was so lackluster, its been years and the Action button STILL doesnt have repeatables for everyone. I expected for those 3 years the errors shouldnt have been in the release version. And also...Really? Just Really? We are STILL in the prologue?

Every fix was done in Chapter 1.

I used an UNCHANGED v0.1.2 version, the one that was public for everyone. It was easier for me to create extra v0.1.2 content because making it in Chapter 1 new systems and stuff would be a... well... mess to delete all the new stuff just to add the event hahahah.

Yes, sorry. xD

 

[Exeryon]

Don't. Thank you.

I just encountered a strange bug but dunno if can be considered like that... first of all I play on win, I open the board in the guild and after I select someone for a job I can't click anything else BUT after I open the screen for save and go back everything go normal until I send someone else on jobs, the steps I encountered are basically this ones:
- open guild board
- send someone for a job (anyone none excluded)
- select location (I have only the city all the other places are closed)
- go back to the screen board
- wherever I click nothing happen
- open save menu using right mouse click and close it
- go back to guild board and everything work again
- select someone else for a job, problem again

> yes, I'm using an old save of the 0.1.2 pc build... made with the previous build that I had dl the 23/11/2020, I have in my pc since then
> yes, I completed the winter event
> no, I didn't overwrite the old save and build, is something I never do

Use the patch provided messages above.

Great start. Load, crash.

You are using, somehow, a version of renpy you shouldn't.

more errors when lucy wakes up MC towards the end of prologue

I've tested this, it doesn't happen for me and the code seems fine. It's weird.

Finally after all this time i can fish again, komi it brings a tear to me eye knowing I can get out there and cast my line thank you for this update. I want you to know I never had any doubt that your fishing game would receive an update. Hope you are doing well and this is the part where my hook hits the water, the women love me but the fish fear me stay strong komi.

I need a bot or sth like that to remind me when this game is actually back on track and progressing. If at all.

I seem to be stuck -
Lucy - Continue finishing quests and relationships. (4)
Rebecca - Continue the prologue. (5)
Fara - Continue the prologue. (5)
Luna - Continue the prologue. (5)
Shino - Continue the prologue. (5)

(The only quest I have is "Prologue" and the only objective remaining is "Progress with Rebecca to meet a pink-haired girl")

(There's no quest to find Jimmy, I'm pretty sure I've checked everywhere to see if I can find Evie without it, but Rebecca wont give me that quest.)

Could you please send me your save?

 

[Gojii]

Don't. Thank you.

No problem there. You a government worker? With this level of output for money paid in you'd fit right in.

 

[Komisari]

There is a new patch, guys.
I've made a ticket to upload it.

I will try to wait for a while to see if anyone else has a strange problem, if they don't I will pack the game again and post it so people don't have problems anymore.

THIS PATCH SHOULD FIX ALMOST EVERY PROLOGUE BUG for now.
I really have to use Chapter 1 systems as soon as possible, working with 2 years old code is not funny. xD

How to apply; Extract the SCRIPT folder that its inside the .zip I sent. Move it to the "game" folder of the game and it'll ask you to replace. Replace everything.


EDIT: Updated fix from b to c. Fixed Delilah talk.

Hi Komi. Finished the update last night. Stayed way past my normal bedtime because I just couldn't put it down! Some favorite scenes were actually Elizabeth and Ari, even though I wouldn't have put them in my favorite characters previously at the end of Prologue. Also "the Boys" scene was genuinely pretty funny. I thought I would cringe more at some of the humor, but you got at least one genuine laugh out of me there, so I was happy with that!

If I could ask one question/offer one small criticism: Do you put manual pauses/breaks during the dialogue, like after commas and ellipses, for dramatic effect? Or is that something relevant to the increased amount of expression changes and images you're using? I felt like, especially in the opening section, a lot of the dialogue felt very stilted and jarring,
because every time it got halfway through a line
it pauses before displaying the rest.
Sometimes in places where it makes sense,
like after a comma,
but also sometimes
just seemingly at random.
The above is a little example of what I mean, but I don't think those manual pauses are necessary for most readers to understand, unless it's specifically tied to a change of character expressions or something else happening on the screen. If I see a line like, "Jimmy... what are you talking about??" I don't think a pause is needed after the ellipses, you can just display the whole line and I'll be able to insert the pause myself when reading the line.
I started a new game file just to see if it was always like that, and the beginning of the game definitely has a more natural feel to it without frequent pauses in the middle of lines, though there are a couple of times where it's used specifically for effect, and it works okay when it's infrequent like that. I don't know, maybe if you want to look into it, try and poll your audience somewhere if the pauses are distracting/jarring, or if it's fine and I'm one lone weird voice out there.

Now we just need updated incest patch

Happy you liked it!
The Boys' scene it's by far my favorite. I was scared that people wouldn't understand that strange humor but it seems like it worked. xD
I left all my bird-brain cells in there.

Yes, I put manual pauses during commas and ".".
This is the way I've been doing in Chapter 1, I wanted the game to be slower and have a more cinematic feeling.

I'm glad someone is talking about this because it was one of my biggest doubts, seems like some people don't actually like it. They just want to click and advance dialogue.

For now, seems like people is not complaining but some users are not happy about it; I have two solutions for now:
- Using HALF the time I use for small breaks. So It's more natural but there's still that feel.
- Add an option in preferences to disable this.

I think that with an option to disable it people would be happy!

>Taking thousands a month.
"Small breaks"
>Two years with no update.
Don't act like you work 40 hours a week on this thing buddy.

I can definitely tell you were trying to give it a more cinematic feeling, so no worries, because that does come across! I think both of those solutions would be fantastic. Glad to know this was something already on your radar. I do read every line, so it's not like I'm clicking through to skip dialogue or anything. It might affect me more just because I'm a fast reader, so I felt "interrupted" by it more frequently.

Thanks for the response, much love!

Imagine simping this hard you have to start spamming people's posts.
