VN Ren'Py Jessica O'Neil's Hard News [v0.60] [stoperArt]

[armion82]

No buddy, you are the one missing the point. It doesn't matter if there's 1 person behind the scenes or 1000. What matters is that more projects with high quality content is beneficial to us as it makes being lazy/slow/milking harder for ones like stoper. The more high quality projects there are, the less likely it is for people to subscribe to stoper's constantly slower development.

Also, slower development alone isn't really the issue. It becomes an issue when the amount of content is not in-line with the time required to release an update. Solid example here would be DPC. Updates take much longer now compared to the first Episodes of BaDIK, but the amount of content also drastically increases with the amount of time spend per update. Which that cannot be said about stoper, unfortunately.

Sadly DPC is probably the only good example.
He actually is putting way more content per month than what was at the beginning.
Do we have another one that is still delivering at least a close amount 1 year after start of the game?
For example at the beginning -150 renders per month.
So in 4 months should be 600 and in 6 months-900.

Some teams you mentioned are doing well. Still, my point is, the more developers there are providing the community with high quality content, no matter if solo developer or 1000 dev team, the harder it becomes for slackers like stoper to make a living out of it unless they put in some actual work. Even if these other developers were to slow down development eventually, they'd still claim a piece of the cake. More competition is a good thing as developers would have to put in some extra work to stand out.

This isn't just a thing for adult VN's. It applies to pretty much any business model out there.

Nice game

Another defender, oh god I am tired of this shit, if you like party scene everything is clear with you, I will wait 9 month for crap boring, lazy update but quality is there, one thing I totally agree- Jessica is gorgeous and she is one of my favorite characters too, one problem, with this developer this game will never be top of the list- NEVER, that's sad, because potential is huge!

What the fuck are you talking about? Defender?????
If you read my comments from the last 3 months you would see every one of them was me criticizing him for how slow he is and how his updates are short etc. Do not talk about things you have no clue about.

 

[Bolero]

Good point you made there. That's one reason as to why stoper and some other developers will likely not be able to pull this crap off for that much longer. Technological advancement/progress is a snail-speed developers (or milking devs) worst enemy. Or one of their worst enemies atleast.

The only thing seperating stoper's game from thousands of others on F95 is the quality of renders. Well, and in some cases also the writing (some titles are just horrible when it comes to their English translations). But stoper is losing more and more ground on that with every passing year, and at some point people will simply walk away as there's no reason to support a game with 10 month development cycles when there are a hundred other games with similar render quality and much more regular updates. I personally thought that JOHN's story was really engaging and interesting in the beginning, but even that went downhill for the past 2 or 3 updates, atleast in my opinion.

More developers on stoper's level (in terms of quality) on the VN market is the best thing that can happen to us, the consumers. Makes it much harder for the lazy, the slow, and most importantly- the milking developers to stay competitive and relevant, unless they get their shit together.

Exactly, before there were a couple of games that stood out of the crowd when it comes to render quality. Now with better hardware much more devs are able to make them too. Just look at 2018. and games that are being released now. Renders are so much sharper and more detailed. And 10 month cycles with the excuse of making good renders is not acceptable anymore.

Hi, everyone.

After the update was ready, and after I did some fixes, both on the script and the images, I took some time to set up the new rig and do some maintenance on the old one. That's finally done, both machines work well and are ready to render some naughty content. I already tested them by re-doing Jessica's nipples. I had to partially re-render a bunch of images, and fully re-render the animations, because the slight difference in the shape was causing issues with the movement of the clothes during animations.

Now the plan is to finish the current in game day first - adding the missing small branch in the last scene, and then another relatively small event when Jessica gets back home. I'll release that as a small update when the content is ready.

I also need to fix some variables and balance some stat points. That would surely require a new playthorugh. I will either do it for this small update, or leave it for the next major update. I know it's annoying to star the game from the beginning, but I think with the quick skip it's not a big issue.

I'll also release some bonus art this month. I wanted to try some new figures DAZ released recently, and I may as well do some bonus material in the process. Maybe something Christmas themed, we'll see...
That's it for now. Thanks for your support, and have fun.

Christmas themed? It will be September before we get another short update

Pre-Christmas 2023 I guess. lol

Also funny how he's gonna add another "small branch" for the current update. Not like it already took almost 10 months to release it, am I right? But hey, stoper said no Beta releases this time. What does a missing branch for 0.55 mean, exactly? Ha..ha...Oh wait..

Damn look where we've come I can't believe this game is going through this too but it was to be expected right?

What a joke. No way he gets this out before the end of the year. Instead, it will just be used as an excuse for why there's weeks more delay on the next update. "A path not many people explore", sounds like a great allocation of your resources.

 

[robrize2169]

of course this always happens when i find a game i really like. play it through then find out it hasn't had much update in a year and who knows when the next update will be. still, lots of games on here to try out which will keep me busy till about 2030 at least...maybe this will get a few updates by then..

Don't tell me that is the faithful path. XD

He has been talking about how big of an update his latest hardware is over the last one, so if we do not see any results with faster updates then we can catch him on his lies much better this time around since he cannot give slow rendering speed excuses anymore.

 

[Chucked_Sandwich]

Hes talking like hes built a car from the ground up..... setting up a PC from parts is a half day exercise at worst.

This guy litterally cant do anything without taking a stupid amount of time to do it.
