RPGM My New Life: Revamp [v0.98.6] [Beggar of Net]

[Jamieee]

Jamieee I just want to add that sometimes the dev starts from nothing and when time goes on and they gather more experience of game development. After awhile they see what kind of horrible spahetti code they have made at the start of the game development and wants to correct the mistakes by abandoning the game and starting a new one or re-starting the current game..... Sometimes it works and sometimes it totally does not.

I agree. But to be fair, all projects have room for improvements. There are always things to tweak and finetune during the development of a project. Sure, whenever you are new to the industry you are bound to have more fixing to do than than a experienced dev, but it is not a reason to not finish your product.

A dev needs to be realistic in terms of what its goal is and how high the dev sets its bar for the quality that it wants to deliver. The thing is that starting a new project sounds like a lot of work, but you start with a different level of experience. Redoing your existing work sounds like less effort, but realistically you are rewriting the whole bunch anyway.

A revamp is even a riskier move, because the dev is going to overhaul everything to satisfy a portion of the audience (and perhaps his own ego). The other part of the audience - who were maybe okay with the game in general - will be left unheard. So you will create much more hostility, if you are not transparent with your changed goal. And a dev should not forget that people get emotionally attached to storylines, which is a tough line to balance whenever you are planning to apply major changes.

My advise would be:
If you are busy with a project and you notice a big difference in quality from the beginning of your project to the current state, you should tie up loose ends, announce the follow-up and release the final version of your game. This buys you some time to create a new product with a higher quality level, which should also give you more satisfaction as a dev because you are not just bugfixing and so on. Afterwards you can always remaster the old game if you feel the need for it, but at least you released your product. That's better than just abandoning it.

I can't pass the tuto with Alex, the game won't allow me to click on blowjob.
What can I do ?

If the UI is not working during the sex scenes, refer to the fix provided in Symphony of the Night's Discord (Patreon):

Don't get me wrong, but the points that I made are no reason whatsoever for devs to express lazy behaviour. It was ment to create general understanding amongst the audience. I think that the bottom line is that devs should be better prepared for the line of work that they are getting into. And I suspect that a lot of them are not aware of that, which I agree that it is their own fault that they have a meltdown halfway throughout their production.

Same goes for the audience. It is never a good thing that a dev points to the audience as a reason why their product fails. But that's a trend going on through the entire entertainment industry at the moment. The dev merely needs to understand the audience, so that it can cater to the need of the crowd that brings in the money/fame. Or, if you plan to go against the grain, you should prepare yourself with a thick skin and a proper planning. Sadly it often times it is their own pride, ego and arrogance that stands in their way.

I think that this industry is a high risk, high reward kinda situation, but without any controlling watchdogs or instances that create awareness of the risks within the dev community. I suspect that this is one of the main reasons why so many adult game projects go abandoned, because there is no insurance for both the dev and the audience. This is something that is never going to change, so we just have to deal with it.


Totally agree. A dev should never try to gain sympathy by opening up about personal situations as reasons for their own failure, because that often ends up with more backlash among the general public than keeping it professional. That stuff should be resolved within the inner circle and should not see the light of day, how big the impact of the issue even is.

But let me refrain myself to bore you all to death with my analytics.
I appreciate the convo, though!

You not boring me man. It all good homie, appreciate the view / convo

My saves are broken and i can't no longer load them does anyone know how to solve it?

My PC crashed and then when i tried to load the save the "continue" didn't show up

 

[Anon Nimus]

Since this game is no longer being worked on, can anyone recommend solid games similar to this one? Preferably with good animations.

Check if there is any save files in your game folder. If they are gone they are gone, but if not you might be able to restore them.

Where did you get the idea that the game was abandoned? Sure it's not gonna get a lot of updates because of diminished support, but beggar said he didn't stop developing the game.

 

[JillRoyce]

Revamping this game was a really bad idea. The developer ruined several characters, especially Amy and Laura. Instead of trying to reinvent everything, he should have just focused on fixing the issues in the original and updating the old animations. That alone would’ve made a much better experience.

What was changed about them?

Make a new save on a previously unoccupied spot and try to access the save menu that way? Or make a back up of a save and save in it's spot and then copy back the backup.

This question belongs more Recommendations & Identification section of this forum. Maybe try to narrow down your preferences for the game. Do you mean similar as in gameplay mechanics, game engine, animation style, CGs?

 

[raziel121z]

So this titan has fallen?

 

[JillRoyce]

What was changed about them?

Aside from their looks, Laura and Amy have completely different personalities in the original version. Laura is portrayed as the stereotypical shy, nerdy virgin, while Amy is someone you can manipulate and dominate. In the Revamp, however, their roles are practically reversed—Laura becomes sexually confident and experienced, while Amy takes on a personality more like the original Laura.

And why is that?

Once again which part? Also, big questions like that might be best aimed at the dev.

i have tried that... didn't try the onuccupied spot tho! but they're all blank, i just have the files... i tried to see if they still worked on a saver editor site and they loaded with no problem, but i still didn't manage to load the file into the game
