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

I genuinely hope they show me I'm an idiot for saying this and prove me wrong, but over a thousand patrons with the lack of update for 2 years is insane. I'm going to have to replay the entire thing by the time it comes out just to remember a single thing about the game.

Hopefully the update is great but I should probably forget this game exists again so I don't disappoint myself waiting for it. next update soonTM type shit

Games take time to develop. I'm actually glad a dev took the risk to go the classic route and continuously develop the game in a closed environment and release a new update when there's actually enough content to justify it.

That being said, it's also about how much content is added and how much progress was done. Looking forward to the next update.

Only thing that worries me about continuously developing a game in a closed environment is that you're not getting the feedback other devs get with smaller/faster updates. I hope it turns out great, but part of me is worried now that its just been over-hyped and won't live up to expectations.

With the games that do lots of releases with just a couple new renders each time I tend to just wait a year to update anyway. Getting so little content at a time just turns me away from those games. I feel like I might as well just download jpg or gif compilations instead.

From what I understand from following Komi's posts, there's going to be more content in the update than there is in the Prolog. Like lots more.

Komisari this is just a question about the file size of the upcoming update. I was wondering if the new version will be as big (file size) as the prologue which is 9.55 gb. So if the update is even bigger are we going to have to download a game that is at least 15-20 gb? Sorry if this question has already been answered or if it is a stupid question from the programming point of view. I don't know anything about programming/coding. But the possible 20gb file size might be hard to download for many people.

Hello, yeah, the entire Chapter 1 will definitely reach 20~ GB of size.
And yeah, it will be harder for some people, for now, I don't see any other fix than just creating an ultra-compressed version or something.
I want to make a launcher to auto-update the game, but that's for later.

Goddang that's quite the size. Can't wait to experience it in its full glory!

[masteryeetdoge]

Chapter 1 is great! I can't wait for chapter 2.

Playing the new update. Komi did not disappoint!

there's a new update?

Ah yes, the future versions of being 1 TB in size isn't so far from reality after all.

Yeah, that’s why i’m saying I hope that I become the idiot for saying that. I would agree that i’d prefer the more bulk release instead of updates of “two animations and bug fixes!”. Something that actually takes my time. I also still think that the 2 or 3 years is ALOT of time between the update. I’m able to admit I was wrong if i’m proved wrong, though.

Oh, I agree with you on games that do real quick, real small updates. I've been turned away from many of them cause it felt like they were going nowhere, but there is big difference between releasing only a few renders and what Komi is doing. There has to be a middle ground, but how to find the sweet spot between them is hard.

I loved the prologue and I'm eagerly waiting for the update, but there's no way in hell I'm going to download 20 GB of stuff. Content creators often vastly overestimate the resolution/bitrate they think they need for their images/videos, which results in assets that are 10x what they should be: not everyone needs uber-4k-shiny quality, for many 720p is more than enough (it definitely is for me, I'll play on a laptop, not on a giant TV). I'll wait for a compressed version, that's for sure.

 

[WSmith]

Is it still the plan to update in February or did I miss a delay somewhere

That's only for people in Ohio.

HHG's images are 1920x1080 compressed in webp and lossless. So, almost half of the original size.

It's not that HHG images are large... It's just that it has lots of images! xD
But yeah, it's still a lot.

Jesus Christ that resolution.
My Toaster PC is going to explode the moment it starts, I can already see it happening.

That resolution is the same that v0.1.2 has
