Ren'Py Lust and Power [v0.69 Regular] [Lurking Hedgehog]

[john1230]

Wielding morality as a weapon, and choosing to do it selectively because you're pissed off about something else entirely, is both hypocritical and evil. But you do you, I guess.

Your choice, of course, but to which end?
Once he is banned he won't surely update new content faster.
And Patreons aren't being forced to pay. They won't be happy the game they have invested money on is taken down without being finished.

I take it the way Thatguy phrased it to mean that he "would" report it, not that he "did" report it. I could be wrong though.

I'm very much against entitled player behavior, but in this very specific case it is entirely something else. The game itself did not improve one bit, on the contrary several things actually were straight downgrade from the previous versions. And it's not just the cut content. If someone watches this project for a longer time and played several version of it over the years it looks exactly like a scam. It might not be, but if something smells like shit and looks like shit is very likely shit. Just my 2cents.

There is improvements in game play but mostly it's under the hood stuff so it looks like there is not much that has changed.

Is it worth scrapping the current content and rebooting it?

In my opinion, that is a big NO but my opinion don't count for anything so it is what it is.

Some may see scam, others might see a test of faith. So it's up to the individual to decide. I have no opinion on this one way or the other as I have no stake in this.

Something about Patreon and other subscription services results in people subbing and then very seldomly checking to see if the creator is making good on their value proposition, resulting in way too much leeway which creators abuse. It has resulted in untold amounts of unfinished games and lazy remakes.

The free form "pay me to do whatever the fuck I want this month" contract needs to die in a fire, and it needs to be replaced by something more structured like Kickstarter pledges -- subscriptions, but with predefined goals and actual consequences for not meeting them, like withholding payments until those goals are met.

That's not really how Patreon works. You are not buying anything on there, people are paying to support the developer/creator in doing the stuff they want to do.

So there's no actual goal there, the payment is like a tip in the sense of "I enjoyed your content" so here's some money to show my support. Enforcing consequences on a tip payment is not really workable.

I am surprised that games like this exist and are very interesting. I promise to play it the sooner the better.

Additionally, I can leave you my link where I enjoy some content for the delight of your eyes.

You must be registered to see the links

okay this a man wearing girl lol and sadly it's true looking at the pic my eyes hurt

 

[JoeAngel]

Guys does this game will be completed one day and also does it still have Incest content or they remove it ? I hope it still there

Several years in the making... erm rebooting. Don't hold your breath

PLEASE UPDATE TO THE NEW UPDATE GAME

 

[1tomadeira]

PLEASE UPDATE TO THE NEW UPDATE GAME

Update to the new update? But I thought this dev was famous to update to a downgrade...

I wonder how much content was removed this time. You don't need to yell btw, you can write without caps.

 

[Dark Lord Nova]

I'm just going to say this and I know it will be unpopular for some. You know no one is forcing you to support this game, right? You always can cancel your Patreon subscription whenever you want and no the developer is not really milking this game at all, that's ridiculous and they only revamped the game once which they have been doing that the last three years if you actually follow their page and read their posts instead of jumping to conclusions, making assumptions and getting so frustrated and mad. Apparently some of you don't know how Patreon or SubscribeStar works but get mad. It's like those are mad at Rockstar Games taking too long, 12 years making Grand Theft Auto VI. If I was you I would move on to another game instead of fussing over this one for not being finished yet or because they removed content to fixed and revamped it which might take a very long time for them to finish like Rockstar Games is doing with GTA6. I'm thinking about canceling my subscription again just for a while (I already canceled once before, I'm already caught up with the game, have been using the same game save since the revamp started and go support another game for a while) since it might take them another year or two to get us back where we were left off with v0.37 with new content. Hopefully someone else can take my place posting new updates here for a while until I resubscribe but I might still continue to subscribe and support them anyways even if how long it will take them to finish. I still like this game and I hope it will get finish one day. I don't hate the developer at all and I know this is not their day time job and they have a personal life that's probably interfering their time working on this game and they have been sick too, I sure some of you never thought of that. Game developers have lives too you know. I feel like I discussed this before.

Chill, I'm just joking due the post above, since it was in caps as well. Even if this is a piracy forum, it's still for people to talk with each other, not to yell. And say whatever you say, what the dev did before was dumb, so it's normal for banter to exist here and there.

I'm very well aware game developing takes time and effort, and people around here who have at least a bit of IQ know that. Although I understand some cry for everything, and I personally defended some devs over some "delays" to release a polished product. So yeah, I'm not asking personal hatred towards the dev, neither asking people to support or stop supporting him, but the banter will always appear here and there because, let's be honest, was a pretty dick move. There's a difference between taking time developing and removing content after all.

You're more worried about the banter than the dev himself, chill. I dunno why I am making effort answering anyway. Maybe parts of this comment will be removed to follow the trend, who knows.

 

[Tatsuya2022]

TBH, I'd just report this dev for incestuous content till he gets banned from Patreon cause of the constant resets. Every time it resets and stuff gets put back in, it's nothing new. Devs abusing Patreon and subscribers. The content never gets better/changes so whats the point.

Dev ? he is abusing himself and he dont even know ... was goin to givr this game a re try after 2 years? but guees what as some of you people said up there, IS NO EVEN BACK to what was before getting remade?
Remember back 1 or 2 years back on time , he writing this decition was final and etc etc. Well puuf

well guess such a waste. maybe other people have the time or the lives and years to wait for games like these to even update, and is no a issue of being a supporter or not, is about what a game is it and what a game is NOT.

Actually I wasn't referring to you but the other person who said they want to report the dev and abusing Patreon and subscribers which is ridiculous and others who were complaining.

Unfortunately there are people out there who thinks they can dictate how other people can use their own money to support whatever creator/developer, and if you disagree you're a brain dead moron who have more money than sense.

Even though it's thanks to those brain dead morons that the game/content is available in the first place.

I half suspect that if they get their way and the supports stops, they will be the ones who will be asking up date wen? and bitching about how there's no update since forever ago.

If you cancel your patreon to Lurking Hedgehog don't feel bad about it, skipping a few updates ain't going to be the end of the world.

Thanks again for sharing the game Dark Lord Nova.

anyone else getting an unhandled exception error when trying to take the covers off Emma's during a night visit?

I forgot to check that when the relationship level is low for Emma and Kelly.

Post the error log so that it'll get reported to the developer, also check to see if the error is present with Kelly's night visit as well.

yeah I think it was that, it fixed itself I did a rollback, played for a few days and now it's not firing again -_-

Yeah some are sure brain dead. I'm definitely not feeling bad about it. I might continue just for now. I think I have plenty of money supporting them. Of course the dev isn't always consistent with the updates but I think they're sincere what they say. Independent devs are all different. Some are consistent, organized and some are not and of course some of them abandon their projects. I know Lurking Hedgehog isn't but at least they do tell us what's going on with them even after a long silence. I think I've figured their pattern by now. I think there's another factor why they're taking so long restoring everything because they don't have a powerful and super fast PC like mine and the render they do takes very long time, take a lot of hours plus there's the coding they have to do in Ren'Py besides outside of their personal life and day time job interfering or getting sick from Covid. I have DAZ Studio. Rendering takes time depends what PC you have and the speed on it. It still takes me some time to load everything on Virt-A-Mate on my new PC even longer than DAZ Studio takes. Lol. I don't know if you have tried it yet. Again you're welcome.

He gets 3k a month from patreon. He should have the money to get a super uber fucking fast computer by now.

This game has exactly 0 render graphics. Can't really follow the whole argumentation.



What's been taking a lot of time was obviously to remake the whole RPG part of the game, which is all nice and good, it plays much better than in the original version.

What people are legitimately mad about, is when the old sexual content is being spoon-fed back to them. It's been like... 2 years since the reboot of the game? And still there's about half the old content missing.

And then we can think about how much new content didn't have to be created, while just adding another old blowjob scene back (like in the last update).

I've been preoccupied with hunting for new game variables for updated games and testing them to see if it'll work properly. I'm downloading the game now to test it out, it's going to be hilarious to see if it'll run on my laptop or not

*OK, I've tested the game but it seems like it's a collection of small scenes, I loaded a few of them and it ran it pretty well.

Loading times was about 15-20 seconds and I set it to ultra after it was loaded and it still ran it very smoothly.

My Alienware laptop specification:

Intel i7 7700HQ
System RAM = 32GB
Graphics Card = Nvidia GTX 1070 (desktop version) 8GB of V-RAM
512GB M.2 SSD (got a bigger secondary 2.5" 1TB HDD in the laptop)
1920 x 1080 display 60hz

I am very surprised that an older graphics card like the GTX1070 is capable of running a VR game like this.

He gets 3k a month from patreon. He should have the money to get a super uber fucking fast computer by now.

Cost of living has gone up for everyone, we don't know his situation. If he hasn't got a uber new super computer he hasn't got it, end of story.

This game has exactly 0 render graphics. Can't really follow the whole argumentation.

I don't get why people are "mad" about it.

I don't like that the old content has been removed but I don't have a investment in the game so I don't really care that much about it.

I feel that if you had invested in the game then your grievance would hold validity, otherwise it just comes off as self entitlement and that's not really a good look for anyone.

That's not bad. I think having RAM 32GB definitely makes the difference while I have 16GB on mine. I glad that it ran very smoothly for you. I added a lot of content (scenes and beautiful/cute models especially celebrity look-alikes and fictional characters from my favorite franchises) to Virt-A-Mate that I found in the VAM HUD.

My Skytech Gaming PC desktop specification:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
System RAM = 16GB
Graphics Card = Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti
1TB SSD
3840 × 2160 (4K UHD) display 60hz

Yeah cost of living has gone up for almost everyone at least here in the United States, we certainly don't know their situation. $3K really isn't a lot especially depends on what living situation you're in. Buying a super computer is expensive like my new one that comes with particularly a graphics card that's Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti or like others who got the 4090 which is super expensive like costing $1K. Exactly what I'm saying.

I hated they removed the old content but I understand why they did it to fix it and revamped the game but at least they're adding the old content back while yes it's taking them forever, that's the frustrated part but I'm not mad about it. I have other games that I'm invested with besides this one anyways while it seems like I discuss about this game the most here more than the other games that interests me. I'm starting being more invested with "Friends in Need" even "Virt-A-Mate" (which is so better than "Honey Select 1 & 2" in my opinion) more than I'm with "Lust and Power" Lol.
