Unity Abandoned Otherworld New Dawn [Goerky]

[b00marrows]

Is this dead or what?

Considering the guys getting like ~$30 a month on patreon don't expect any serious momentum. atleast not yet.
A more substantial demo will likely be a spark it needs, but in the end everything takes time and money.

True, Whoremaster and others like it may get updates once a year.......if we're lucky. But, basically, that's what I was wondering if I should categorize this game as. Thanks

Well, yeah. I mean the business model seems to be to take someone else's hard work, slap your own name on it, and then expect to get paid for it. Doesn't really scream "work ethic" to my mind.

Hello
Im back, still alive and nothing is abondoned. (how do I get rid of the abondoned-Tag? OH GOD)

Im not going for a cashgrab - I want to make this very clear (once again). I have not withdrawn a single cnet from patreon yet, and both me and Lysixa are doing this on a (currently) non-paid voluntary basis. All money raysed by the game is gonna get used for the game and we are only getting a small portion of it, if any.

As for where I and updates where:
I had problems with the update, lost interest, hated my codeing and questioned many things i shouldnt have - so it took way, way to long. Also I had to rework the Items 4 times and completly scrapped them twice, remove features like Moddable Effects and other things (eg Sounds).
All in all, the update as it is of right now, with all its compromises, is just not worth releasing or worth your time.

Instead, we'r gonna merge updates with the next one. A large chunk is already done by Lysixa, I "just" have to tie the knots together and fix the mess of the current update.

What will await you in v0.3.M: (M for merge, 0.3.1 + 0.3.2)
- Day/Night cicle
- Save/Load function (+ change Playername threw the savefile)
- Moddable items
- More/Better Sounds

Plus everything from the new Update:
- A new Map layout
- Moddable Locations
- DEMO: Npc positioning/chatting/random encounters
- A Rework of the Player's and Shop's Inventories
- Overhaul of the way Time and money is displayed
- Effects

And maybe: ("if we have time for it")
- More clothes
- More consumables

It's alive! AGAIN!!

 

[Reij]

how do I get rid of the abondoned-Tag?

Should be removed as soon as there is an update. Life happens, plans get delayed, but glad to see you're back at it. Good luck and looking forward to what you come up with.

I forgot about this game. Well, let pray that this game gets updated every now and then...

Yeah, well. If you check the commits for the original project, you'll find at around half the code in this project was written by me. So I was a little disappointed when the project gets resurrected without so much as a by-your-leave when I'm a regular on the forum.

And just to be clear, I'm not saying you can't use my code, and I'm not asking for anything. But without getting so much as "oh, hi, how you doing" when I first posted in this thread, maybe you can see how a fellow might jump to conclusions.

Anyway. It's a fun project so I'll wish you well with it (credited or otherwise) and formally grant you full permission to use whatever code and other resources I may have in the project. Just like I would have done had I been asked.

Whatever. Good luck with the project.

...Excuse me what?
My code is yours? How did that happen? What forum are we even talking about?

Are you sure you'r evenin the right thread? XD

And if we're talking about the original OW... your arware of the "Unity" tag, are you?
Its all my Code written from scratch, but ok



EDIT: Ok, sorry, thought you were just some random dude trying to claim my code...
The Game has been redone from scratch in Untiy/C# - Im only using the Assets from the OG, and even that will change at some point. Same artstyle and all - but i dont wanna be a copycat, since the game wont be a copy either.

Heya Doc! swing by their discord, koffii is here too! sometimes... lol
far as I know this project is a ground up new thing done by a fan of our old project. No code or anything crunchy has been reused that Im aware of. (then again Im still pretty clueless on coding)

I wouldn't do that

And you're quire right, I did miss the Unity tag. My bad.

Fair 'nuff. I do have a few art assets in the thing as well, which you're welcome to use for as long as you need 'em. If you use the soundpack I put together, Kevin Macleod needs a credit for the title screen music. The soundscape for the slaver's guild uses a mashup of samples from freesound.org ... and I have no clue where I put the list of credits needed for that one. But I'm guessing you'll want to redo that anyway.

There's also, and I don't know if this is available anywhere, but ... a while back there was a fairly short lived attempt to redo the game in Python and we did some really cool stuff around the auction process. I whomped up half a dozen with faces and personalities and the auction was done as speechbubbles from balconies overlooking a stage, with various bit of flavor text to liven up the bids. Feel free to use it if you have it. Be a shame if it never saw the light of day.

Hey Tyr, been a while.

I'm currently resisting the temptation to join discords. Something about the idea of having all my chats linked to a verified email address and piped through a central corporate server where they can be crunched fro Big Data ... brings out the privacy nut in me.

Tell everyone I said "hi"

Nice to hear this is not dead!

Unless you use a throwaway email it's still linked to your phone which means you are doxed. Unless you also use a burner phone like I do. Also don't trust VPNs as they are not real security because they have to give data to governments.

(Copied from our Discord):
Donno if or where I sayed it, but additionaly to the Trello Progress-Bord, we have a "Roadmap"-Table via Google Drive Excel, that includes next to everything.
The Trello-Board has barely moved over the last week(s), even though I am and was working on and around the core of the game, so it gives a very wrong impression. On the other side its an ok-ish "loose" indication if you dont want to know everything...

The Excel list includes collums targeted/grouped at/by Modders, Technical stuff, Bugfixes and New features - and reaches back threw the history of all updates.

So...
Where have i been, hows the game progressing...
Well, I have bad news.

In the first Month after moving/starting the new Job (September) I barely touched it, due to whatever reasons.
In the past Month I didnt touch it for a single second.
Aside from working overtime since November until probably Crismas, the little freetime I now have with the new "job"
gets eaten up entirely by learing how to draw (around 5-10 different styles), getting good at them and drawing really good
pictures for my application to University, which needs to be completed before February.
Also, I wont be home for 3 entire Months starting on February, and I cant (or at least dont want to) casually devolop a porngame on a shitty Laptop while living with my boss and 3-4 coworkers in the same house or even as roommates...
I litterally cannot loose this job/opportunity. Also dont nessecarily wanna get new friends cause I wierded them out...

So yeah... things arent looking good right now.
On top of that, depending on how I will be living during my studies in a years time, progress will be slow and wierd to explain to my potential roomates. Or non-existant. I hope that its not the latter one...


After some contemplating, I think its best to formally anaounce and change the project's status to "on ice" until at least May.
It is still unclear if its break gets extended or what will happen.

I'm also gonna deactivate/inform the patreons that their patreonage will be halted.

The coming update is basically 70-80% done, and I will keep working on it if I find some freetime, but dont expect anything anytime soon from me. Also the 6 Patreons left get it 2 weeks early, since I never really offered anything good for their Tiers...
I say "from me", because I am the problem in this equation.
The project is coded in Unity with C# (C-Sharp). Lysixa cant code in C#, also my code is a slowly grown mess. Not "a mess" as in terrible,
but hard to read with a different way of thinking. So we as a team cant make any progress if I dont make progress.

Sorry that that took forever again.
The Game was planned as a 10 months/1 year project to get it to the OGs state, and then improve upon.
Its been 2 years now and I've gotten nowhere, not even to the state the OG was left at. (yeah, we are 70% there, but it doesnt feel like it, especially to me)
And its gonna be 3 years by the time it will be as good/broken as the OG...
God. Fucking. Dammid.


I want to take this oppurtunity to thank all of you for your intrerest in the project, support, messages and everything I cant remember or fail to mention right now.
Also thanks to Lysixa for his high efforts and many ideas, and thanks to Zarlock for volunteering as Playtester and Proofreader.

 

[Reij]

Thanks for being forthcoming about it. Good luck with the the job and university application. Hope to hear good news from you in 6 months or so.
