Isn't it more like 8 chapters in a single book? Doesn't 0.8 also include all previous version's content?

Thing is, these things (vns, kns, games, etc.) are not like books where you can write disjoint chapters keeping the thread in your head and each chapter can still make sense if read as standalone piece; they are programs, coded sequences of instructions and variables (data stores) to track progress and options. A later chapter will rely on its required variables to be set up by the the previous chapter's instructions and user progress / choices. Therefore a chapter cannot exist or function before its predecessors have been coded

I know there is a gallery unlocked but how do you get the 4th one unlocked legit?

Put the cheats in the game yourself, you coward.

Don't you have a choice menu with infinite conditionals you need to clean up?

Indeed it does, but at oaiki described, there is a lot of setup.

Sure, I could do all versions in one go, but then it would take longer to release. I still have to start with the code from version 0.1 and onward sequentially.

Thanku for explanation. And sorry for being a dumbfu?k

We never have enough time for all we want to do. Thanks for the update. To be honest, maybe its just me, but I'd say don't worry too much about animations or having them in every update. I'd personally do away with them if it made content creation easier and quicker! Best of luck.

Since I'm only porting an existing game, not creating the content myself, adding the animations that already exist in the official version does not take much more time than adding a static image. The reason animations take so long is the actual animation process. Since I don't have to do any of that, it doesn't make a difference to add the animations.

What exactly is this ? different content ? or what i don't get it. Can you explain a little bit, read the comments but still don't get the difference. Is it worth downloading ? like will i see stuff i haven't seen already ?

It's a port to Ren'py from the original engine. This does not and will never have content that is not available in the official version. As of now, this is 4 versions behind the official version. Other than that, it has a replay gallery and an Android port, which the official version does not, but will eventually have.

If you're happy with playing the official version, then this is not for you. The target audience here are people who only play Ren'py or prefer Ren'Py.

Updated Android port. Nothing too fancy but let me know if you have any issues.

Version: 0.9a build 38

Appreciate my porting? Leave a Tip! You're supporting my efforts, paying for storage, and encouraging more ports!
