Ren'Py Rogue-like: Evolution [v1.6f] [Oni]

[Laritas]

It's crazy to me how Oni made a better Jean design than a triple A studio, maybe she'll look better when the Wolverine game comes out but for now this is the ugliest Jean Grey design I've ever seen

A lot of games where Sweet Baby inc is involved the female characters look similar (bloated/masculine). Whether it's the new Wolverine, Spiderman 2 or the new Tomb Raider. The more attractive the original female character was, the uglier she is portrayed in the game.

I still wonder why studios let that weird parasyte infect their work. If only they made them more money, I could understand, but all the studios that get infected by the SBI sickness rot faster than Malena without unalloyed gold.

Literal extorsion and blackmail, look it up, Sweet Baby CEO says it quite literally in a panel at GDC without any shame.

Sure, I can buy that the first half dozen of times, but studios big enough to draw attention from that quality syphon have market research and should know full well their games will go to shit and their companies too if they let that sickness in.

Yeah i was hesitant downloading at first...but the annoyed goth bitchface got.me.diamonds no matter the tatta's size...

Commonly those in positions of authority at these companies are clueless fools with egos and consume Kool aid like water. Market research and marketing are the true poison.

How far along in development is this, in terms of completion?

How far along in development is this, in terms of completion?

This is a hard question to answer. It's been functionally complete a few times. Every time Oni finishes implementing a new girl it's "complete", but he borks up stuff whenever he adds a new girl, then takes time to fix it. The last "complete" version was 1.4e, the current version (1.52a) is incomplete because Betsy and Doreen aren't fully implemented. I don't see a scenario where Oni is ever done adding new girls (as long as he makes money), but the two new girls don't really add anything new to the game. They're just new skins.

I think it's a few things.

1. One is just how cozy the CEOs of SBI-and-adjacent are to each other and to the (dying) mainstream gaming media.
2. Two is how much thought influence these Walmart Karens have on other women who work for the gaming companies...women who then go and whisper sweet threats in the ears of their marketing departments, etc.
3. But the biggest cause is companies like BlackRock who offer millions in investment loans to gaming publishers (I once did some math and found that before their layoffs earlier this year Insomniac was spending over $47,000,000/year on employee pay alone). BlackRock-and-adjacent companies are BIG into DEI, and I would be shocked if they too weren't mandating content (not just in gaming but all companies they invest in) and a certain "DEI-score" to get more money. Money they get from nearly everyone's 401k's which they manage.

Also, King Conan-Rogue, stolen from Google because I've only had 7900 hours yet not-enough Jack Daniels to work on my MSPaint masterpiece:

You're not narwhal. An update occurred recently. Oni is fine. Be okay soft one.

You've been in this thread long enough to know news is sparse, dude.

Thanks for the reply. I see, that business model seems like a typical thing these days (with mixed opinions …) It can make sense to me but depends on communication I suppose.

Also is there any in-game indication (or via mods) that those two girls aren’t finished being implemented? That’s an example of a small thing that can reflect a dev’s intent.

Sure, yeah. But a game can still be good with some DEI inserted. The mere presence of those mfs outright worsens the games.
