Here on F95 it's pretty good. I'm sure there are a plenty of devs out there who do way shadier stuff than just hoarding info but for the most part people are pretty helpful. I lurk in the dev forum a lot and find myself learning new stuff from time to time.
Strange. I've not worked much with Ren'Py, but my first attempt has the right-click go directly to the save screen. The documentation doesn't make sense to me because I've not really dug into it, but it does refer to a file (config.keymap) which doesn't exist in your game, nor my test game.
config.keymap isn't a file, it's just a configuration variable. You can change config variables in a script file if you want but I just kept the default keymap values. Looks like the default action for both esc and right-click is to open the save menu.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:
ScriptError: could not find label 'day003_eryn_exitramp'.

Mon Sep 18 00:19:33 2023Well, it's a small team and they had to redoing the intro, redrawn some characters, change some proportions and finish the overall background artwork to present a more professional work.
That's from a missing label that's now fixed in 0.13. Choosing to avoid those 2 scenes changes dialogue in her later scenes for consistency in the story but won't lock you out of future scenes.
Releases are about 60 days apart and version 0.13 was released just under 30 days ago, but we're more than halfway done with 0.14 so far. We had extra time over the summer and tried to do 30 day release windows for 0.13 and 0.14 but it turned out to be more like 45 days.
it's bullshit and you know it, there are 1-man teams that done 10 times more than this in a year. Everything you describe doesn't take more than a couple of days at most. Anyhow, not my circus, so not my monkeys!
No 1 man team would release often with all the game being drawn by hand. In fact, near all 1 man team often make 3Dcg games, that's not coincidence.
As mentioned previously:
Whenever we do an update we get a spike in traffic and the amount we're making each month goes up. Making content as quickly as possible is in our best interest so we go as fast as we can without burning ourselves out. When we eventually hit a tipping point in support the artist can switch to doing this full-time, but in the meantime 106 hours per release is what we have to work with.
Just ignore the idiots who expect everyone to be able to work at the peak rate of the fastest performers. They're so out of touch with reality, if they weren't so toxic, you'd feel sorry for them.
Honestly the openness about the inside workings of development is awesome. Keep it up, I hope more people support your project because it looks great and I really like the direction it's going in if that means anything.
We'll survive somehowI hope everything is okay with you and I didn’t cause serious damage to your physical or psychological state with my “harassment”?
