VN Ren'Py Abandoned Mirror Mine [v0.19.2] [Lemonkey]

[botc76]

As far as dual family territory is concerned the issue with that guy is that he would promise updates miss the deadline and then make a new deadline only to miss it again over and over. Lemonkey is moving slow but he is moving.

That might be your issue with Dual Family, my issues with that game surpass that reasoning by far, it starts with the pretentious bullshit drama and angst and continues with the frustration of the game never getting anywhere.
The point where he stopped making updates for the game regularly, I had already long given up on it. So for me, the comparison wasn't due to missing or delayed updates, but to the feeling that the game is treading in place instead of moving forward. And to be honest right now at least with the romance path, Lemonkey is moving so slow, he might as well not be moving at all.

<cough> there's a potentially somewhat serious bug... so far this hasn't caused any weird side effects, other than that some addons (like URM) suffer fatal errors as a result, but no doubt at some point this is going to cause issues.

define sys = Character("", color="#0000ffff")

This name is actually a reserved keyword since it is a python module... not to be used as a variable.

I see a lot of complaints about the pace of the updates. I guess it just doesn't bother me. I love each additional bit of this story. I like the characters and I actually love the slow pace. If I want to scarf my dessert, there are other games I can enjoy. This feels more like taking an hour to eat a single ice cream, savoring every lick. It is slow, but the visuals are fantastic.

slowburn in a story doesnt mean that there has to be no content in updates and/or slow upcoming updates with not much content... this game ios 3 years old, and contenwise it just started... after 3 years this game has not the content most other games will have at the first release. Thats the complain around here, and its reasonable. I really love slow burn games, and building up relationships (will it be incest or not, doesnt matter if its good written) But after 3 years only this amount of storycontent? How long should the development take? Longer than a human life?

You should tell George R. R. Martin that.

3 years for 15 minutes of play ha yes he has work to do

this dev is pushing steady two-short-updates-per-year, and he has only 160+ patrons
cmon people arent you recognizing a dedicated game-developing even when it hits you in your ears?

hopefully his children and grandchildren will continue his work, so our posterity would have a chance to see some real content here...ofc unless those (future) devs drop down fully all that porn-needs-sex-bullshit, and switch fully to the very core of any porn - music!

I would add Don Milking, aka Gumdrop Games.

One of the most realistic games around but the progression is too slow.

It sounds like you have a borked copy of the game, then. If you get an error even if you try to save a game, the copy you have must be corrupted. Saving is a basic Ren'Py function, working properly out-of-the-box and doesn't get modified often. This game is an example of an unmodified save function, so it should be working if you have a good copy of the game.

 

[torgpolariski]

i got that copy here....

I'm just saying that whatever copy you have isn't functioning properly. There's no issue with saving games or anything at all in the copy I used, which is v0.18.2 that is linked on the OP. What link did you use to get it? Also, did the download give you an ISO file, or did it instead give you a ZIP or RAR file?

For instance, I've noticed that sometimes AnonFile recently has started downloading ISO files if you click the button. You have to cancel that download, and do it again. I've seen that happen at least a couple of times before an actual ZIP/RAR file gets downloaded. I don't believe the ISO file will work.

Game is interesting and the surprisingly closer to reality looking mother as opposed to most other games in the same genre is refreshing. I am curious though, while we finally got a bit of action from Carmilla of all people for the MC, will this continue to be a slow burn in terms of developing any romantic or sexual relationships? Secondly, aside from the mom, will Liane also be an additional L.I. or she just there to tease the MC?

It will most likely remain a slow burn. It would be extremely weird suddenly to shift to sixth gear because something finally happened between them. There will probably be feelings of guilt, shame, embarrassment, or whatever else. Based on the mom's personality, I can't see anything with her moving quickly.

At one point, early on, it looked like Liane might be a LI. There's even a lust point you can get with her, and she has romance points defined as a variable. But there haven't been any points provided for her since the party, so I am assuming the dev changed his mind. At best, she ends up being another LI but the dev works on her path after he finishes with everything else in the game. I do have a set of saves created for her just in case, although I haven't played on that route for a long, long time.
