RPGM Completed SHRIFT [v8.07] [DEVIL'S OFFICE]

[hyperboy14]

Funny story, when I first played this game I got it from some other website that had clearly not been updated in ages, so I got a what I believe is one of the earliest public builds of the game (7.02, from 2017). Only later did I discover this place and download the current version.

Thing is, these are not pre-release images. This is how the scenes looked like when the game released and, for whatever reason, Alan felt compelled to retroactively change them in later updates. I've known this for a while, I've especially noticed the different scenes for sphynx, but I never really considered it noteworthy.

Thankfully I kept the older version when I downloaded the newer one years ago, and so I can still see these beauties. Here's that Lampas scene on my version (which has an English translation patch!):

The changes for Sphynx were also pretty noticeable. I think many other designs were reworked in later patches, though, just in more or less subtle ways. For example, in the current patch Iron Maiden's resting sprite is pretty different from the original sprite, which you can still see from the loss selection screen

I can kinda see why he changed some of these (Sphynx's old designs were awkward in some ways). It's cool that this game got effectively remastered for free, though the original scenes are interesting in their own way.

Consider it a Christmas gift.

I've also included a full(-ish) save that is compatible with this game version (which goes up to and including EX1!). If you want to check which scenes are different you can also check in graphics --> pictures. So far I've found differences for Lampas, Iron Maiden and Sphynx, but there are probably more.

Super awesome! Thank you very much! Merry Christmas to you, too!

Listen I want to preface by saying the developer is awesome and I love his work and the time he put into shrift. All I wanna say is I'm surprise I went away for a few years wondering when we'd get the full compendium to fight that superboss black fox or whatever, and came back to see it's still coming soon

I hope the dev is ok tbh, I remember going 'shrift 2? a sequel? it sounds cool. im not really interested in level drain i dont know how he'd make that work', and then like 3 or 4 years later, I try shrift 2 and it's great! Honestly, the dialogue reminds me greatly of shrift 1 and I think that's amazing

I feel like the developer must be getting extremely burnt out, which is sad. I can only /assume/ it's burn out because his progress on shrift 1 and 2 seem significantly slower. It felt like he really started hitting his stride near the end of shrift 1 and during the EX's, or at least it feels to me around then his motivation was highest and he got into the groove

and by the way, this is no serious or harsh critique I like shrift 2 I think it's awesome it just feels.. really small?? maybe I'm tweaking or crashing out and am just in the wrong

but yeah, I'm a bit surprised that hidden boss hasn't come out yet, and I'm a bit surprised by how small shrift 2 seems to be. I get shrift 1 was in development for like, 8 years or 9 years and shrift 2 has only been in development for, presumably 4 or 5 years? Though.. I do hear that some people say shrift 2 is bigger than it needs to be /already/

sorry, I suppose this is a bit of a crosspost, since I'll share my thoughts in the shrift 2 forum as well. Still, I hope the developer is alright and takes a break if he needs to do so; I sincerely hope he doesn't go through with using that ai model more, like the demo he released recently for shrift 2
