VN Ren'Py Abandoned Sins of the Father [v0.8.1] [Kaffekop]

That was actually my initial idea, and it doesn't involve any DRM.
May I ask why you don't like the idea?

If I may say something to this idea - I probably understand your intensions, but me and maybe others too, don't like applications, which communicate with unknown internet sources/servers behind our back. I believe your intensions are honest, but I don't like that idea of yours.

Hm, valid point.
Didn't cross my mind to see it that way, but yeah ... I do understand your reservations.
I'll give this some more thought. Thanks.

click on the black screen several time after the logo goes away, sometimes it will load and sometimes it locks up and have to start again.

Hopefully the launcher wont be mandatory

Just to add my voice to those dissenting about the launcher.
Another way to deal with this is to optimise your work. I've not seen skunked version of this but maybe @Pepé Le Pew or I think @bossapplesauce does it too, could check it out and see how much could be saved. Or drop them a line and ask how they do it.

I've read this 3 times and still don't know what you're asking me to do?

He writes about better compression of images to reduce the download size.
A "skunked" version would even have a loss of quality (resolution) to reduce the download size.

I was suggesting to the dev they think about optimizing their game as a way to avoid implementing a patcher. I thought you had optimized other games in the past.

If so, I was wondering if either you or Pepe could have a look and see how much it could be sensibly reduced by.

I also suggested the dev to get in touch with one of you about techniques in doing it.

Gotcha. Thanks!

is there a walkthrough for this game?
If not i hope i see one eventually since there are already quite a few different paths to the game

The story & models are very good. The only thing i really wish was that the UI was better. Maybe make at least like 6 or 10 saves on 1 page & have multiple pages. That way i could keep different playthroughs on separate pages & not be confused

 

[sam1234567]

none of the images are showing up for me when im playing this game all im getting is a black screen but the text is still visable it doesn't happen when i start a new game but it eventually does when i get to a certain point is that a known bug and is there some way for me to fix it?

1. Did you copy the new game into the old game folder?
2. Did you unpack the game before you try to run it?

I'll throw an OpenGl version together in a few minutes. It may be related to the fact, that Unity decided not to support anything DX9 related. So if your GPU can't handle DX11, then you're basically fucked over in Unity these days.
But if OpenGl can make it work, I'll build those as well in the future.

Okay.
Here is an OpenGl version of the latest build:

I hope it works for you because if it does, it may work for others as well.

I'm beginning to question my choice in engine

tried this and it worked just fine even found out your title screen was not just a black screen all problems seem to disappear except for the load time between the unity logo and the profile screen
