Hello fellow RiC fans,
I see a lot of what if's here and I think it's in everbody's interest, I clear up some things.
@Boomatica had to drop all work on RiC to secure his position at Patreon and is now full time working
on TPSR (his new game). Hence the releases every 2 weeks, as we were accustomed to when RiC was his only project.
At first he tried to develop TPSR and RiC at the same time and release both once a month.
RiC would be released on Discord and to make it more 'safe', I would have posted as a front man.
Now that ship has sailed and RiC has been abandoned.
Or not?
Feeling very bad about how things have developed, I offered to actually look into RiC.
I got the complete project from Boomatica and bought RPGMakerMV.
Of the programming I'm sure to get it done, as I have decades of programming experience (although for office use) and getting the hang of a new tool is part of the job.
Rendering and animations are a complete other thing though. I'm tinkering with HHS to get nice shots but that is going slowly as I'm not only trying to learn something new, I also have to figure out what clothings, surroundings and other items were used for the screens in RiC.
Now this all being said, I hope to release a (small) update here on F95, for free (maybe within the next 2 weeks).
This will be without animation as that's on the next level and I would have to buy another tool to get those incorporated into RiC as well.
So I want to check if you enjoy my work on RiC and if I should continue to do so, because I'm doing this for free and in my spare time.
And when enough people want me to continue, I can't promise release dates.
All I can promise is that the requests from the highest tier patrons will be rewarded (as I asked Boomatica as what they were).
TL;DR
Boomatica stopped working on RiC, I'm trying to continue for free here on F95.
