VN Ren'Py Rick and Morty: Another Way Home [r4.0] [Night Mirror]

[siusiaczek_]

Hiding the UI is a bit complex, but the short version is: I used a tool called dnSpy, which lets me decompile the c# code. Then, I can go into the system that controls the main UI elements (Fungus) and modify the code that displays the text box to screen (making it's alpha 0). I put a jank toggle in, so that I can turn the UI on and off during gamplay, and its~ okay. Then yes, I just use the window + g to do video capture (as well as a custom python script to get images).

While the Unity game framerate is uncapped (running 150fps for me), the animations are 60fps, which we can see in the motion data txt files:

is there any way for you to share modified file with ui hide toggle? or it is more complex than just swapping files
ps. i've managed to "unzip" the unity3d file with all png's that it contains, pretty much all of them are normal but some of them have tiling problem.

Not sure, I always manually inject the code. But you can give it a try.

File needs to go into "[game directory name]/RicAndMorty_Data/Managed/"

It's not made for other people to use so, good luck?

YOUP, it dont work as i hoped for XD i cant click nothing on main menu. (i am on version 4.0b if it is important on what version i am)
You said you inject the code mannualy, like you are changing it in the code of the orginal fungus.dll file? or you opening the code of the game. btw what is the toggle button?

05/04/23 - Ferdafs puts up some sexy art for May the 4th.

Is this art anywhere on this forum?

Maybe? People posting his pateron art is hit and miss. You could search through the Unity thread for it around May 4 2023.

F95zone says 3 months with no communication for something to be considered abandon.

So, lets look at some dates (and do some speculation):

• 02/04/23 - Unity v3.7f released.
• 05/01/23 - Unity v3.8 released.
• 05/04/23 - Ferdafs puts up some sexy art for May the 4th.
• 01/31/24 - Unity v3.9 released.
• 03/22/24 - Ferdafs puts out an update about the next patch.
• 06/22/24 - Unity v4.0 released.

Last time, I waited 6 months (with no communication) before continuing (Putting out r3.8P2 in Nov of 2023). Ferdafs returned roughly~ 8ish months later with a new update (and no communication in between). So really the question is, how much do I think Ferdafs has abandon the project?

All I can do is guess. At the moment, I think it's just another long delay, as we've been seeing for a while. I'd prefer not to do standalone releases if I can help it. This is a remake, and its main goal is to remake (into renpy), not to "take over" and push the game forward. The conclusion exists as the "backup" plan to wrap things up (and not leave this project abandon), but isn't intended to supersede the original (i.e. in addition to, not in place of).


So~ short answer (too late), right now I'm not sure. I will say I have no release plans for this year if we don't get something before Jan 2025 (and I'm ready to go if we do get an update before the end of the year).

At some point, I'll have to decide when long enough is enough, and I don't think we aren't getting anything more from Ferdafs. Or, maybe a new update will drop on us right after I post this, who knows. Without a info from Ferdafs, it's all just a guessing game.

I know waiting for an update sucks (it is really frustrating for me too!), but that is the nature of this project.

I just looked at his Patreon page and either he's sick again or having some life changes , but no response either way after his last update .......... I hope he's alive and well though

Hey NightMirror I really enjoyed the extras you put in the Mindblowers. Is there any shot you could add more things like that or unused ideas by you in there. I think it is just fun to see some "behind the scene" stuff.

Glad you enjoyed


Most of anything extra usually ends up in this thread. A lot of it doesn't really have art, its just weird or interesting things I encountered while working on this project. Putting it in-game as text over black wouldn't work great.

If you are interested in the more behind the scenes stuff, this thread is littered with a bunch of long winded posts from me about lots of different things.

Can this be translated into another language somehow?

Yes, renpy supports translations:

6 months since ferdafs made an update i'd say that night mirror should just mabye reuse old assets or make new oens and make some new content in the meanwhile.

 

[strenif]

(really, I just want to get back to normal 2-3 month updates from Ferdafs... but I feel those days are sort of over...)

Ya. I think one day soon, we won't hear from him again.

Finishing up your own ending seems like a good way to go.

We might get one more Vendacator update but I really wonder if we'll get more than that.

Hey that was a bit poetic....'Yesterday, upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there!...'

My hope is the new season next year (?) will respark his interest...I highly doubt it though...

I've just played the game and I have to say it's pretty good, but the number of rape-related things is really weird.
For example :
when Morticia gets caught and we go to save her, and she sees the line with all the Mortys there to rape her, and she says "this is not the time to be horny", I don't really get it. What's the point of going to help her if in the end it doesn't bother her and she's turned on by it?
Maybe I've misinterpreted the text because English isn't my mother tongue.

The way that I interpret that scene is that Morticia (like her brother) is confirmed to be almost always horny. She also has recently discovered that she has an exhibitionist kink. She isn't happy or unbothered by the situation. In a different context (consensual/Rape Play) she would be all for the thrill of what is happening. The body will do what it wants, even if the mind doesn't want it.

ooook, thanks for the answer. I think I understand a little better. When I read the text, I understood that since she had other things to do, it wasn't the right time. That's why I wasn't sure if it was me who had misunderstood.

At least most of the time we can avoid all the rape stuff, because I really don't like it.

You should be able to avoid the actual content, in most cases with an alternate scene that doesn't feature non-con, or almost always with a "skip" (specifically included for things people might not enjoy). I can't promise it will never come up in dialogue (such as the example here), but also, there is only so much I can (and want) to do.

Not clear if there is an issue here or not? It sounds like you might be saying that you've turned off character rename, but are still being prompted for it? I cannot reproduce this issue on any version of the game. The "rename" toggle only impacts character names, Nicknames (for Summer/Beth/Morticia) are still prompted.

 

[Letota]

Why are there so many high ratings? As far as I understand, the game doesn't even have a decent storyline and features a lot of repetitive dialogue and also mediocre art based on the original cartoon. The only thing that might appeal here, then, is, as I understand it, the fact that you're a fan of Rick and Morty—is that right?

Does it even make sense for someone who hasn't watched Rick and Morty to play this?

 

[dumdum1234]

I hate the show and love the game. The answer is Yes.

For everything else, that's a you problem, sir. I don't exactly get where you're even getting the "repetitive dialogue" issue from other than not playing the game in the first place.
