Thanks for your interest and wishes.

Unfortunately still gradually getting worse. My specialist wants to put me on the list for lung transplant, what I don't want (too many uncertainties and too stressfull). So I'm looking at a year max. now.
If you are gonna die in a yeah anyway, and it takes time to find a lung, isnt a lung transplant fine?
Like, if you have 30 years left, and an operation has a 50% chance of killing you, yeah sure thats a risk. If you are not gonna survive the year without the op though, its not really a risk is it?

It's not that simple: 30% don't survive the op, 50% of the survivors die the 1st year after the op and the rest have 5 - 7 years extra with heavy medication afterwards and to some I don't react too well.

Besides the screening is intense, organs are scarce and the place on the list is determined by your condition (the more severe, the higher your place on the list). So chances are that I die before even a lung (or preferably 2) becomes available.
And there's the suspense when you get a call and an ambulance takes me to a hospital that performs this kind of transplant and the wait for the final check if the lung(s) are indeed suitable.

Thus for me, being over 60 and only having a girlfriend and no kids, it's the better choice to let it go.
And I don't have to go the full course (dying from suffocation) because euthanesia is a possibility where I live.

Fair, sounds like just living the rest of your life to the best you can is a great option anyway. Even if it isnt as long as some other peoples. Hope you have the best year of your life. :)

Harsh but true my friend, harsh but true. The only positive thing about those kind of choices is that must be done just once in a lifetime. Hope you can keep brave and calm and enjoy next year as much as posible.

I have said it before, and I'll say it again. Make sure that your girlfriend, or another you can get to do it, post here the day you pass. I have enough fond memories of this game, that I really wish to light a candle by my window to guide your spirit!!

Well, I hope you have candles handy.
No, it's still me but typing this in hospital with a huge flare of the fibrosis and my lungs are as good as gone.
Doctor still wants to fight, just like I because there are some things still left to do, but chances are the best it can get is on permanent oxygen, sitting up, rest, standing up, rest, you get the picture.
I don't know if I will find that enough to live for...

First of all, congratulations. Happy to see the game still being developed.

I gave it a spin. Looks... promising, although still heavily RPGM-style. I hope you do plan on changing that... eventually.

I encountered a crash on the first day, when trying to work on the LewdSites project:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
A hint for the future: it will be easier to engage the community into helping you if you include the source files in the project.

"RPGM-style", not "RPG style". I'm talking about visual similarity with games using the RPGMaker engine, with all its annoying quirks. I mean all of the dialog messages look identical to the RPGM games, the questions disappear when the game is waiting for user input, etc. Those issues are plaguing all the RPGM-based games I know, but can be easily overcome when using RenPy.

I know this game was originally made in RPGMV, I just hope moving to RenPy will allow you to improve it.

Fallen Angel, may I propose an improvement to the bugfixing process?

Downloading 2.6G several times a day is pointless, nobody will bother. You need to do something to cut it down in size. Note that I'm not saying you shouldn't release the full game as well; that may or may not make sense, depending on what you want to achieve. What I'm asking for is a "patch" release.

Now, assuming the bugfix only changes the game code and not images or animations (and I think this covers over 90% of bugfixes), only release the scripts.rpa file and ask people to overwrite the one in full distribution. This way we can have a fully patched game after downloading only 4M instead of 2.6G; 600x difference. And if you include the source code as well in that file, you may get bugfixes for free from the community (myself included).

Keep in mind that:
  1. including the source code (*.rpy files) in the game distribution doesn't make the game open source,
  2. not including the source code (including only compiled *.rpyc files) doesn't really prevent people from decompiling them (using tools like unrpyc for example), it just makes it more bothersome and raises the bar for potential helpers.

In case you haven't heard this in a while, this is also a reminder that you are a good person, and that for all it matters, that we are proud of you, and that you are loved. Let it be known that I, for one, stand by whatever decision you make, and that however and whenever it happens, may the end be peaceful, loving, without regret. Wishing you the best of luck, and as many happy days as you can have. Godspeed, Doc.

Hey, I don't know if you're still there to read this, but I just wanted to tell you that, from what anthropologists and historians have gathered, the idea of the afterlife goes back to the earliest proto-indoeuropean civilizations, or even earlier. And that concept is strongly tied to the concept of fame; or rather, legacy.
So, by the oldest of knowledges, you will live; even though you "simply" contributed to the joy of mere fappers like me, you made many hours of joy for many of us. You'll be remembered fondly by people whom you've never met, and thus, you will survive in our memories. Whenever and however, see you.
