VN Ren'Py Abandoned My Teenage Years [v0.1b] [MTY Games]

[MTY Games]

"I really hope you enjoy the project. Remember this is just the beginning, and as it's my first sole project please go easy on me! To begin with the full version of this release will be publicly available. Once there is more content then I envisage having a public demo available to everyone, with future full releases available to supporters. "

I just want to make sure I understand your meaning here (as there has been confusion over this kind of thing in the past with non-native english speakers), if you are saying that you intend to not have a public release for future versions at all, then that's a really bad idea. People around here tend to respond very negatively to "locked behind a paywall" content.

I know you're just doing the "business thing" and trying to funnel people to actually pay you for your work (perfectly fine), however that doesn't really work around here. They will resent it, and not donate out of spite. A few brave heroic souls may sub if the game is actually good, but they will immediately leak the game here for everyone else, and you will get a bad reputation for locking things behind a paywall, which could further negatively impact subscriptions.

I'd suggest more of a staggered release, once a new version is available to subs, make the previous version public. There's still a big chance it'll get leaked (it's just something that will happen once you get enough subs) but if it's "eventually free" people usually don't mind waiting. People will then decide to sub or not based on how they actually feel about the game instead of resenting being forced to sub in order to get content.

Yeah really good points, thanks for the feedback.

I should clarify that I absolutely intend a staggered release just as you described. I'll make this clear on the subscription sites as well.

error appears when opening the game

What error are you getting?

so...no scenes locked behind a paywall?only delayed releases for the public?that sounds very good.awesome actually
I'm not a fan of locked scenes...I know I shouldn't say that since we are getting the game for free but it is a reality so thank you for not making the game or better said parts of the game locked behind a pay wall only delayed

error appears when opening the game

it seems there already is a patch in the scripts.rpa, no idea if it's the same as the incest patch or not but it pops saying
ScriptError: Name (u'game/patch.rpy', 1614014198, 1) is defined twice, at game/MTY_patch.rpyc:2 and patch.rpyc:2.

i am finding a bug tho, you're supposed to find dad's fone, it's not in any of the rooms you have to look in, so either it's end of game or a bug.

so where the hell is the stupid phone? and why can't i go outside and check the vehicle we came in??

The phone doesn't show as clickable object, its in the living room

But there is a bug, I used the patch, my choices were "leave the laundry", agree with dad, peek once on sister, pour mom a large wine glass, after that I clicked on the dining room and game closed with this error

Thanks, I'll take a look now

heh if you ask about college it ends with a hug, then you click catch up and suddenly your sister's face is behind you, took me a second to realize it matched with the previous scene.

at the lake is jess saying 'can you please stop what that' heh should be with not what.

CTD after you talk to dad after giving mom the wine.
While running game code:
Exception: Switch could not choose a displayable.

Thanks for the reports guys.

Both fixed.

I can't replicated the conditionswitch crash, so will keep digging on that one.

Feel free to upload a save just before you get the crash, that would be immensely helpful, thanks!

 

[Samael-79]

Hi, the game crashes every time I click on the bathroom door .. I did several uploads, the game always crashes at that point, if I choose to stop free roaming, the game will advance to the end of the demo

 

[MTY Games]

Scratch that last request, found the issue. Thanks again.

 

[PixelRepublic]

Oh ffs, another stupid and bland free-roam system.

It's almost like developers enjoy making things difficult and poorly designing their games. Where is the fun blindly clicking from room to room, with no direction or clue what to do.

Unless you're a masochist, this is one to avoid.

Closed, deleted, ignored. GLHF.

 

[Fappable One]

Good luck. I'll check back in ~2 years to see how far this game has come.

Damn! This is the first comment here. That's gotta be a record here on these boards
That escalated quickly
