Ren'Py Our Bright Days [v0.2.0] [keyclap]

[neronx]

The main character of the new version reminds me of the character of the boss baby.
How is it possible for a little boy to live alone, be combative , and be hired in a management position?

 

[neronx]

just played the new update and man... why does this dev keep doing this?? every time things start getting good, he hits reset like it’s nothing. the game had so much going for it early on—cool tone, decent characters, a story that actually had some depth. now it’s just reboot after reboot, and each one somehow feels more empty than the last.

yeah sure the UI looks nice now or whatever, but who cares?? it’s like he’s more focused on making it look polished instead of actually finishing the damn story. this is supposed to be an adult game and we’ve gotten, what... one optional scene in YEARS?? what are we even doing here

he really threw away all the momentum for this?? it’s like watching someone burn down a house cause they didn’t like the rug. there was so much potential and he just keeps tossing it out to chase some “perfect” version no one asked for.

at this point it feels like the game’s just sitting there looking pretty but going absolutely nowhere. i’m so tired of getting hyped for updates only to start from square one AGAIN. if next update’s more of this, i’m out for good.

He suffers from crippling perfectionism.
This means he often designs or creates something very good at first, but then ruins it by obsessively over-editing or over-correcting every little detail. Instead of trusting the good initial version, he keeps pushing for an impossible standard of perfection — which ends up destroying the quality or delaying the result forever.
Crippling perfectionism is an unhealthy form of perfectionism that can lead to anxiety, procrastination, and self-sabotage

Woa, what happened here again? A pity...

what did i just play? i don't even understand what's happening

That's the million bucks question, huh? If you or someone else finds out, please tell.

All the guys who whine "WHY REMAKE", the dev already answered.

I did not come across such a "EXPLANATION", so where? And sitting with the dev somewhere over a beer hearing "his reasons" i would even in my age remember.

I'd actually call it his third attempt (link for those who weren't aware), and say it's a pattern at this point. It's clear he really likes designing and implementing the UI stuff but doesn't know what to do with the actual game.

Thanks for reminding me he did this now already thrice. I forgot really the first one. And i agree, his work has high quali in the visual department and very high love to mechanics to the last little piece. Ability and willingness is clearly there. Consistency, dependability on the other side... well.

I agree. I rarely do anything on §atreon, but i read his sermon on ingame phone design. Such a infatuation, bordering obsessiveness, for a fraking virtual game device is very telling IMHO.

The "so called rape scene" cannot be "the problem" for all this, as the scene could simply be changed and the game was story and design wise on a good way.
The bathroom situation is clearly not forced, but admitable whats called "questionable consent", causative in the drunken state. So, if some people take offense from it the scene could easily altered to ease it a bit. E.g with some switch at game start, where you can activate a "risky mode" as alternative to "base(soft) mode". Renders could mostly the same, just some text changes to make something like the bathroom scene clearly non offensive. Easy.

I think its possible the dev doesn't really know what he wants, especially from the games story and that's mostly a killer to any game-dev aspirations.

Well, in the end we can discus all we want, for most of us it will still not make sense what the dev thinks is a good idea.

The game you played is dead.
It´s a new one. If its for you, you can test. But most people here didnt like it so much.
I think the new one is some impressive game. But i think it would have been better to work with the old one and dont scrap it.
There are both here on the side in the first post.
Best regards.

So I'm slightly confused as to why Ekaterina seemingly has two last names? On social media her last name is Ekaterina Novikova (the same last name as her daughter on there), but everyone she introduces herself to she she says her name is Ekaterina Alexandrovna? Did she like switch to her maiden name after her husband left/died, but then why would she not change her name online too? Or am I missing some kind of Russian culture nuance and she's like telling everyone her middle name instead of last name?

 

[GoDfLesH]

Alexandrovna

This is a patronymic...

You’re not missing a last name — what you’re hearing is something different from Western naming. In Russian culture, people traditionally have three parts to their name:

1. First name (given name) – e.g. Ekaterina
2. Patronymic– this is not a middle name or a last name. It’s derived from the father’s first name and shows “whose child you are.”
   • If her father’s name was Alexander, then she is Alexandrovna (“daughter of Alexander”).
   • If she were male, it would be Alexandrovich (“son of Alexander”).
3. Last name (family name) – e.g. Novikova

So, her full formal name would be Ekaterina Alexandrovna Novikova.

• On social media she just uses Ekaterina Novikova (first + last name, like in the West).
• In real life introductions, especially in more formal or traditional settings, she might say Ekaterina Alexandrovna. That’s a respectful cultural thing — in Russian you often address people by first name + patronymic.

So no, she didn’t change her surname. She’s just using two different levels of formality:

• Online → Western style (first + last)
• In person → Russian style (first + patronymic)

DEVELOPER IS BUSY

 

[Draim]

Though I can guess that something unpleasant happened to you.

YES, I had an experience, But not a bad one, although the next day I pee with fecal stones

 

[\\_Tremolo_//]

I have a Russian mentality.

 

[tmu500]

It looks promising, keep up the good work.

 

[sislov]

i think this is the 3rd remake btw

 

[MikesDK]

I played this back in 2023 and it was great, perfect sandbox type, choices that matter, even a rape scene kinda if you wanted it, then i come back to try it again and it has close to no content i would say less content then 2 years ago and its now hes 3th remake or fail trying to make a game....i had this rated 5/5 since it had so much potential, its such a let down to see a dev that just cant make up hes mind or just dosent know what to do, changed my review to 2/5 since whats the point when it keep getting remade or abandon.
