I wonder what is the obsession of NSFW game devs of wanting to change the game engines a lot, i have seen it happening recently also with "the last barbarian" and "carnal instinct", the biggest problem of changing engines is that a lot of features from the original game will need to be cut or redone from the scratch, which will hold back the development for years and the game will never feel "complete" or "finished" which is sad (i'm not saying that is the case with influencing, but just nsfw games in general with how rare is to see a finished one)

In case of Influencing, see for yourself:

While patreons pays, the longer the better, ideally the better project in the patreon system is the one which never ends

Most of time they don't have new ideas or feel lazy to add new things so they start over like '' reboot '' or '' remastered '' things in popular series like last of us or death space. For this game crow said Ren'Py is a bad Engine. If we think he started this project for fun and passion from zero knowledge of how to coding i think his reason is acceptable. He also wanna improve the game and add cool features. Sadly he's one man army because of that the updates are so slow. He's busy with coding, artist job etc. Also i bet it's not his main job. I bet u're saying why he doesn't hire anyone? Currently his income on patreon is $1,221 so... i guess it's gonna be a slow going project for a long time. That's why i said u guys should wait at least 3 years for his reboot. If it will be good project and not abondoned one maybe he get more donate then hire a few guys to help him out. So the progress go faster. But he has to prove himself to get more donate i guess. I mean only i see is 4 years old game is getting ready to start over and that's not something i would support for now oh also bad communication and failed release dates. Thx to Future Fragments disaster we have to be more careful
Meh, I actually doubt porting stuff over to a new game engine takes that long. Most of the functions and features logic already exists and its a matter of translating it for the other game engine to understand what it should do. But I think Crow is gonna rebuild those core systems from scratch and make it scalable because he does want people to mod his game (as far as I understand) and implementing it in a way that's easy to bugfix later on even when extending features is more of a focus for him than delivering the same game in a different engine. Still giving it 3 years is a bit long imo. I give Crow until December to release a progress update/statement then a year and a half at most.
My assumption is that godot is a relatively easy to use game engine with a strong dev community so there'll be plenty of support for things he's trying to do. And he's one of the devs that gets fairly excited when talking about updating the game! Wish him speed, health and focus!

goDot is a far better engine for a data management game, and at last you can code a good UI with it.
But there is a lot of work to go from Renpy to goDot cause you can have almostnothing from the Renpy code you had.
Anyway I can't understand why devs (even new ones) continue to use Renpy for anything but Visual Novels, personaly whenI check for updates on F95 I uncheck Renpy (and another one which don't know that since some years there is a tool called mouse )

I hope u're right
I'm just expecting worst and decrease the hype otherwise whatever u expect it's not gonna satify your expectations. Maybe he transfer the game in Godot and rebuild piece by piece or start over and built from scratch in both case it will take time for sure. If he rebuild game it will feels like stuck in same progress but at least we have something to play. If I would him, I would already hire an artist and fix the monkey animations when transfer the game on Godot then rebuild the game piece by piece when adding new animations so it will feels like there is a real progress.

Could you clarify on this topic? I know that Ren'Py is made with Python, which is a code language based on C++, optimising what complicates in C/C++ and simplify the code so that more people can learn and use.
But is Godot similar to Unreal, that is C++ with plugins/mods, or is it another code language on its own based from something else? Because if it is based on C++, then I could definitely see GoldenCrow having a hard time porting from Ren'Py to Godot if he only knows Python before making this game.
It looks to be basically similar to Unreal but way more scripting mods/support allegedly.
I've not touched it personally but you can read and even use it for free and find out yourself from their website since it's all open-source.

goDot is also a Python based engine but you can also add some external code from C++ for example if needed.
But there are major differences :
- You can dev a standard 2d game but also 3d animated ones (with enough graphical knowledge).
- There is an integrated UI toolkit, you can really draw you screens with it
- The UI and code integration are managed by events and every UI part (buttons, lists, ...) are complete objects
- The code is far more object oriented
The common point is that you can also make shit, but it's harder
Note too that the documentationis far better and the community quickly answers.
Take a look at Strive for Power (for example) and try to reproduce the slave list and sheet in Renpy, but prepare some cleansheet, you'll cry...
Why is "fuckbuddy" considered a serious enough relationship that it's both the answer to "are you married?" and having sex with someone else is considered cheating? I'm pretty sure the whole point of being fuckbuddies is that it's not exclusive.
Also, bug, trying to watch my fuckbuddy cheat on me with our other fuckbuddy breaks the game.

As far as I can tell a HUGE mechanic of the game is "cheating", where using the extremely inevitable chat system to "influence" an NPC to fuck you. I mean everyone is game, there's literally no one in the game who won't fuck you as long as you spam the silly prompts.... honestly without the AI integration the game is boring.
Currently it is in text only.
By the way it is the last day of June so I guess the update has been postponed to July.

Hmm... starting a family and raising kids in a lewd game?
