VN Ren'Py Abandoned Lust Campus [C3 Final] [RedLolly]

[Blurpee69]

They are like 2 different embodiments of the same story by different devs, so you can play both) Ch 5 has better graphics and more content, but it was abandoned. Remake has less content and slightly diffent story.

Less content overall, but more content than the original run had through two chapters.

This is just a general aside and not directed at you specifically.
I know there is a lot of complaining about how long the remake is taking, and there is some legitimacy to those complaints. It probably shouldn't take as along as it has been considering the ground work that is already laid. BUT the amount of content per chapter is up, the code is cleaner than it was previously, the characters are better developed, and dialogue also flows better. Serious improvements are being made, and for anyone that wants to counter with "but the artwork" yes, objectively the previous artwork was "better" but the new artwork isn't exactly poor quality, and their are far more scenes and poses that the characters take which does add a significant amount of time.

I agree with almost everything you say, other than "yes, objectively the previous artwork was 'better'". This statement cannot be true, as art quality is inherently subjective, so someone's artwork cannot be objectively better than someone else's. You might like it better, even most people might like it better, this does not make it objectively better.

I, for one, prefer the new artist over the old. We can disagree on this, and that's fine, but it comes down to personal taste.

So is the new one, or the one currently under development, the one on the first page?

The quotation marks around better would imply that it is someone else's opinion, and not mine. I for one like the new art style better as well.

This issue I took with what you said was the word "objectively".

They're both on the first page, Ch. 3 is the new, reworked one and Ch. 5 Final is the old one.
The pictures are all from the new version.

Well, I should post some art here then you would see that my art definitly and objectively sucks agains any of the others . But yeah, of course, from a certain amount upwards, the "good" lies in the eye of the beholder.

now 1 or 2 months waiting until final version and i can come back here at easter 2024 to see progress of c4

i wrote that post on june 20th 2023. March 31, 2024 is less than two months from us... hate being right with my joke.
i really really can't understand people financing this idle, leasure time. whoever think that throwing her more money will make her work harder should think again. not only this dev but many devs with high number of supporters started to follow pattern of 1 or 2 updates per year.
also i really don't understand why so much time is needed. most of the game uses default backgrounds of several locations and generic characters in 2-3 positions are talking. no angle changes - 1 room - 1 background - 1 pov and generic character is added - hands up, hands on hips, slight mood changes on face

You know why. I know why. And it's not flattering for the dev

 

[Saerwen]

She posted a new teaser of chapter 4. Cant Eva help the dev somehow with the progress?

What I don't get: If you have a hard time developing and missing every deadline: Why make those progress-post only for the higher tiers? If I am on schedule and deliver good stuff, I can start to take a little more money from enthusiasts. But if I fail to deliver, I should do as much as I can to please the remaining followers with interesting posts.

And no, Eva cannot do much, I think: She is under very much pressure herself (even though she delivers good and plenty).

Spaniards are white.

The need to write something like this is embarrassing on their behalf.

Wanted to say - this is a great game but its sad that its abandoned now.

Yeah, it's "around the corner" 7 or 8 months after the chapter 3 (i never have seen this in a game before), lets admit, this game it's over, dead.

Summertime saga rings a bell?

The "Tech Update" for that game has been coming "soon" since 2 or so years ago and its still "around the corner for many", Girl Spy was stuck in "Bangkok update soon - jk no BK update but another update soon - JK here is a intro rewrite" cycle for so long I don't even care about the game anymore to figure out how many rewrite the game has now.

I dont know what the deal with this dev is but at least they can say they are not the worst lol

Any minute now, the update is coming out.
I'll keep checking the patreon page.
And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that notification.
It's gonna happen soon, soon, oh, so very soon~
It's just that times are lean~

And you say, be still my love,
Open up your heart, let the light shine in.
But don't you understand
I already have a plan.
I'm waiting for lust campus chapter 4 to release~

On a clear day, I can see, see that there is a long wait.
And on a clear day, I can seeeeeee~
See that there is a long waaaaaaait~

Are you filled with butterflies at the thought of the upcoming chapter?

See u soon.

Oh the air is so tasty!!! But it's just the air....

Another example of soon™ which means in a month or two... or whenever... and milk another month

 

[afc2112]

Anyone willing to share the Ch 4 sneak peek she posted?

But let's also be fair, it's a very big corner, it takes weeks to get around.
