Ren'Py Abandoned Making a Mark [v0.18.00] [Fasder]

[Crimsonfiend76]

I don't do public releases.
Older version go to the $1 tier whenever I release something new. So now the first version of Down the Road is in the $1 tier while the latest version of MaM is in $10.
Technically you're not allowed to do public releases on Patreon, any links to adult content is disallowed. I know a lot of people do it and they're probably not enforcing it super hard, but that's the reason I don't do the public releases.

Does the latest update of MaM have an ending, or will the ending be in the next update? Loved the game and have been playing it since yesterday, now that you will be adding 2 more paths to the ending, will it be possible to see all paths without having to restart the game from the beginning?

Yeah, there's an ending scene, all paths will have the same common end scene.
Yes, there's a prompt that tells you that you're starting the endings, you can save before then and reload at that point to try the other paths. Alternatively you'll be able to replay the endings from the gallery, though that is not implemented yet.

Hi Fasder. Great work on this game by the way. The women are absolutely beautiful.!

I am at a point in the game where I am in the new house, and even though I go to the office at 12:00 and work on the QDPA project it briefly says +0 QDPA and I am stuck at 25 /35 on the QDPA project and I cannot seem to advance towards the QDPA project completion. Helen and Sarah have talked about obtaining new servers, but even though I have selected the speed up mode, every day seems to be the same over and over and over ad infinitum. Also, I have gone to the old house, saw Diane sunbathing, and overheard her conversation, but there has been nothing new along that story line for weeks. I am unable to do anything with Diane's laptop either. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

So... new servers means you need some money, which reasonably you should have by now...
Did Diane come to visit? Because that needs to have happened, I think you need to trigger a scene at the pool with Sarah and Jenna... I think?
If you haven't already figured it out, you can message me on Discord and I'll try and help you out @fasder#6969

Also, thanks, glad you're enjoying the game.

oh is the game done now?

There is an ending, but it's not quite done.
Right now there's just one path to said ending. I'm adding two more paths before I deem it "completed"

Well keep it up. This is one of my old favorites

The next path is almost halfway done, so it's coming along.

Hoping there will be a harem path with all the girls.

Hoping there will be a harem path with all the girls.

One can hope, but my feeling is that there won't be any scene with the lesbian housemates.

There is one in the currently available path. But there won't really be a conventional harem type ending, but spread out over all the paths most people should be satisfied with the outcomes.

 

[Crippy]

Did a look around and couldn't really find any answers to the issues that I am experiencing. The roll back stopped working about the time the move to the new house. Also, did a save regarding going back to the old house. Tried to load it and it took me WAY back. All of my saves take me back to the same spot.

Any ideas on how to correct both of these?

Is the OP correct that its been over 19 months since the last update?
Thread Updated: 2021-04-19

As per the rules 18 months and no update then the abandoned tag needs to go up.

Seems like if you ruffle some feathers you get an update, only took 19 months though.

No it isn't, because the OP only ever gets updated when an update actually is shared here. 0.18.00 was released this July but it hasn't been leaked. There has been update posts since then too.

Then the OP is correct for there has not been an update on here for over 19 months and until its here this gets the abandoned tag.

Usually how this goes is the game doesn't get an update and the dev doesn't post anything regarding the game's development and/or shows no signs activity. The title gets the prefix. AFTER this, the dev reappears and resumes development and in that case the prefix remains until said update arrives or at least gets released.

In this case, the dev was developing, an update was released (just didn't arrive), kept posting about it YET the title got the prefix simply because it didn't arrive. The prefix was set afterwards. Not before. In my understanding, that isn't the format for abandonment.

Will report my post so i could get a clarification on this.

Its regardless of the activity of the dev and as long as there is no actual update on this site in 18 months the tag goes up.
This lets the players know that we have no update here and that maybe not this dev but other dev's who string along the player base to get more money out of them without a new update.

Can not use 1 rule for some and other use a different rule or you can not count of what is posted.

Seems like if you ruffle some feathers you get an update, only took 19 months though.

These cases are rare, where a version has not been leaked for this amount of time, but we do not penalize a game for not being pirated. I've removed the abandoned tag.

I think the rollback stopped working one is related to changes in the script, but I'm not quite sure.
The other issue, I honestly have no idea, someone else mentioned their saves removing progress, which to my experience shouldn't be possible.
Making a Mark is... kinda poorly constructed and I have improved this over the years, but it's still a bit iffy. So you might be able to attribute my poor programming skills to that, or simply corrupt files.
If you have some save files I can take a look at them and see if there's anything going on there.
