Ren'Py Rogue-like: Evolution [v1.54b] [Oni]

[salscou]

So is 1.1c stable?

Havent run into any problems in the bit of testing ive done.

We talked about this a few months ago. On average, Oni is earning $7500 a month from Patreon. That works up to around $90000 a year (we'll just say Patreon takes the maximum of 12%, so a little under $80000 a year). From what I understand, Oni is doing the entire game himself, from the art to the coding.

Oni has to do a couple of images a month, so lines of spaghetti coding and he can just sit back for the year and work at a snail's pace.

I wouldn't really care as much if he just put the effort into his art, sure we'd probably still complain about his work ethic, but at least you could say his art was good. Right now I can't say any of this stuff is good. If it wasn't for the hard work of modders like Prime, this game would barely be passable as a game.

 

[Semondemon]

That doesn't make it right, and btw, I'm paying too. You're free to ask questions and offer suggestions to a developer when you think it's something that might be good for the game, but you don't really have the right to complain about it if he decides that it's not part of his vision. That's just childish. Live with it or don't, the latter reflects on you, not the dev.

Dude were not talking about consoles here, it's also a free country I'm allowed to be critical of things if I so desire. Don't be a fanboy, don't blindly defend things because I don't care for that type of behaviour.

because I don't care for that type of behaviour.

And what type of behavior is that? You asked for it, he said no... end of story. I'm not blindly defending Oni, I'm suggesting that a little more respect is called for. You can always design your own game with your own time. Otherwise, yours and the complaints of others sound like jealousy (he makes 90k a year and doesn't give me what I want) or laziness (I can't make my own game to jerk off to). Your wallet speaks more than anything you say in this thread. If you don't like it, don't pay for it.

And you answered my question, so this is over with; you're just another nobody looking for a nut. That's all my question to you was meant to be.

She was (and is) a joke character, she defeated dr. doom by having a bunch of squirrels run all over him. I think that was her first appearance.

You know, this is a somewhat reocurring argument around here; someone bashes Oni for more or less obvious faults regarding his product/working ethic. A person comes saying things like "It's not ok to say bad things about Oni because it's his game" or "you don't have the right to complain if you don't pay for it", but time and time again, those are counterargumented 'til exile.
Let me save you the time to continue this back and forth. The conclusion that's always reached here is as follows:

We can criticize someone regardless of how successful their enterprise might be, due to a lacking product, dishonesty in their communication with their patrons, a clear disregard for opinions voiced in a constructive way AND from a customer, or, as it's more the case, a combination of all of this.

We can also criticize a game we haven't payed for simply because we've played it and thus we are prepared to formulate an opinion on said game, because the very fact that one hasn't invested money on a product does not mean said person loses their rational ability to think (I know you didn't say this, but since both arguments usually appear in tandem, let me take the chance to answer the two).

Not just here, this board is full of this kind of attitude, and it's both tiring and pointless. It wouldn't be so sad if everyone here wasn't just sitting around with their dick in their hand jerking off to free porn on a cunt-hair-away-from-a-pirate-site while they slap their limp wrists furiously on their keyboards about how so-and-so dev doesn't deliver exactly what they want, when they want it.
I may have mistakenly implied it, but nothing, including me, is stopping you from voicing your opinion in whatever way you see fit, but I'm still going to look at that level of disgruntled entitlement over free content with disdain because it lacks both tact and class.
And this conversation wasn't about anything but me poking at semondemon, other people made it about something else and I simply responded against what I feel is an unreasonable attitude towards someone fulfilling their fantasies while getting nothing but bitching from them at the same time.

But hey, it is what it is, and I don't see much point carrying on this conversation any more. No doubt this will not be the last time I see this kind of thing here, I just wanted to say something about it this time. Lucky you.

"Guiz, i wuz jus trying ta single out and bully a single persun, i didnt expext resistence, im leaving this conversation now cuz i am the moral authority high road"

 

[Wallsfalldown]

Jesus dude, nobody cares about your sob story. We're here to bitch about Oni cucking us with Gwen instead of Wanda

 

[CuriousWonder]

Can anyone tell me if there's away to fix that the game won't except my saves? I was playing a on a website and wanted to transfer it to an actual downloaded version of the game since the computer I was using doesn't agree with Ren'Py for some reason but now when I go to load it, the download version won't except the saves and give errors

Probably because its not the same version. just bite the apple or maybe there is an save to find via search idk.

Shame. Hopefully I don't have to restart because I was pretty far with most of the girls

How many flies do you eat a day by breathing with your mouth wide open?

primitive chimp moment

 

[xfto]

All this passive aggressive babble makes me think someone struck a nerve and playing the moral high ground, when all people here exactly know where oni is going and how devs in this genre in general are on and about on their ethic.

just deal with it, oni wont grant you a medal nor do we.

by the way, how is the general opinion of people here where this is going? add girls with slightly different mechanics ad infinitum? the more he adds the more difficult it will be to raise the standard in interaction/animations, if oni ever adds more to the existing system...

so, eternal waifu collector/patreon milking simulator?

Well with each update oni does slowly add more things, if you compare 1.1c with the version needed for the expanded mod, you will see theres some extra stuff and improvements.
Just, dont expect too much, oni made it really clear that the game is a sandbox where you can dick the x-girls, not a dating sim/VN.

 

[SerHawkes]

Still don't get the bitchyness with Gwen being in the game to be honest from some of the sounding boards here it seems. Models not entirely bad, could use some work on the hips maybe and chest. So fucking what if she isn't exactly an X-men or part of the Evo series. Emma wasn't part of the Evo, let alone Laura was entirely different and very much would have jailbait had we have that Laura from Evo in the game, let me tell you. Are there other girls that deserve a place in the game, of fucking course, but we can only expect and get them at the rate that Oni is doing it. Eventually, in time, we'll get Scarlett, maybe Boom Boom, and others from the Evo series, hell, maybe even others entirely from the universe.

At this point, sure we call bitch and moan and piss in the corner about our thoughts on things and pretty much make a big circle jerk without the fun on it. My two cents are this: Enjoy the game, modded or not, or don't.

There's absolutely no reason it can't be a mix of both. There's nothing I hate worse than pointless sex, even in an Adult game like this. Reason and purpose need to exist here.
