VN Ren'Py Abandoned Lexi [v0.052] [Chatterbox]

[ltpika]

I don't think it's that big a deal, people have gotten used to it with other games like DMD and the like. I always appreciate keeping the file sizes down. Plus people ask dumb questions here all the time, no matter what you do, lol.

So Here is Lexi Chapter 2 v0.051 Mega: PC MAC

We will have a Chapter 1 build sometime before the next update. We decided to do this as a way of cutting Download times and size without compromising image quality

You shouldn't make the game into separate chapters. Sam (the site admin) has said they may start making individual threads for different chapters of games in order to stop filling up the OP with spoilers and links. You can see that conversation in the new Timestamps Ch2 thread that I had with him.

You can get someone on here to compress it for you, it'd be better than having the game spread around several threads.

We do know how to compress it but compression leaves artifacts and messes up the color

if you code it properly you can simply build each update as it's own .rpa with all scripts / images / etc. and release it that way, no need to have separate executables. though that would be best done without changing renpy version throughout the entire game.

It's fairly simple with such a linear game. Granted that wouldn't work for android versions though since they don't use rpas and are more of an archive in themselves.

This is just a test, tho, not the full launch of a new chapter. It's the same content. So a new thread is premature, he might not even go that route if it's not working.

Just a heads up. If you try playing Chapter 2 v0.051, do not use the start button. Load a save from the end of v0.04 to continue. If you hit start, it will start you at the beginning of the game, and no images from v0.01-v0.04 will be present. In the next chapter I'll make it impossible to use the start button.

If you played v0.05 fine, then no worries. This is only for people who have not played v0.05 yet, unless someone wants to go back and play it just to see the replaced Lexi images. This version really doesn't even matter, it's just a test to see if the way I'm doing chapters works right. However, there are a couple bug fixes.

i really hope you dont plan on release chapters in new games because that is a shitty way of make some people like me lost interest, i dont want to have 20 games that are the same because you devs think its good to release games in chapters like palmer do...
20 chapters = 20 games , fuck that stupid shit
if u are to release lets say 4 or 5 chapters by game it will be good, like for example Drpinkcake

 

[over the edge]

Ok ....not an update? cuz i started with last save ,and that`s where this one ends......the kitchen scene where she strips in front of all and walks away........

I still think the whole timestamps chapter 2 situation was handled very poorly by the site, but given the new circumstances, not splitting the game surely is to be considered.
Yet chatterbox & co are also right, when they consider both quality loss through compression and keeping the file-size of specific downloads small.
I live in Germany and for one of the richest countries, we sure have a fucking bad internet and it can take quite some time to dl greater files, which is why I often choose compressed versions, except for my favourite games and there are certainly users with even worse options here, who also want to play the games with high render quality if they chose so.

is this just a bug fix. as my save game just ends at the same place my save was off v0.05c but see no diffent from v0.05c to v0.051

That's a good idea. For people who have already played previous versions to have only the content that is in the update ready to download so they can go from where they left off.

On the other hand, won't doing it this way leave out anyone who is new to the game? What about folks who are on a new machine since previous updates and don't have old saves? What about folks who played it from the start ages ago, and kinda forgot a little bit about what's going on and would like to play it from the start again?

Why not make 2 possible download links for your patrons?

Link 1 = All images included
Link 2 = Only new images included

That way everyone wins, and everyone is happy.

 

[RoadWulf]

Just a bug fix? I was wondering if this was gonna be him redoing the Lexi renders people were complaining about.

 

[Soul_less327]

I would vastly prefer if the dev would just leave the game as a single download instead of breaking it up into chapters. At least keep 4 or 5 chapters together in a single download. The large size of the file doesn't bother me, but breaking the game up just leads to confusion and annoyance.
