So do these standalone releases actually have new unique content or are they just separated portions of the main game?

These were supposed to be in the main game but engine is old and bad and adding anything makes a lot of bugs and may break it so these are separated so if you can do better make your own game
This is wrong on so many levels. 1st of all you don't need to be a Chef to know when a chef has given you a raw steak. Responding to such criticism with "well, go make your own stake then" is just flat out retarded There's nothing else to call it.

Second of all, the way they're doing it is wrong, because they're taking side events and then breaking them off piece meal and then turning them into their own games. If you want to switch from unity to renpy That's fine. In fact, I'd probably be on board with it. for games like this, it is a better engine overall. but instead what they're doing is instead of just porting the entire game over from start to finish in the new engine. they're taking late game content to mid game content, breaking it off and then making each individual piece its own individual separate game, which again is simply retarded.

And third is the issue that they are supposedly trying to get away from the slave trainer aspect to make a bunch of different short stories. which is, of course, going to upset a lot of people, because the main core of their fan base was people who first came to them because they were making a slave trainer game..... That also had Raven in it, let's be honest. lol

So yes, they are making basically every worse business decision they possibly could regarding their game. It's not even an issue of them switching engines. It's an issue of everything else they're doing, and specifically how they're doing it.

And if it is some smaller part of some overall plan, they still need to communicate that effectively, which as of right now they have not.

It's the same game. He's making the "Events" in the main game have separate RenPy ports. Usually these ports have content that isn't in the base game version yet, but will be added by the next update.
IIRC he tried porting the entire base game to RenPy but that process stalled out, If I had to guess I'd say he's making all the events RenPy so that when he eventually does port the base game, he'll have all the event content ready before hand
This is what I'm hoping to. But the problem is, without an official announcement that this is actually what he's doing, it's all just head cannon. from an outsider looking in. It just looks like he is piecemealing a whole bunch of parts of his game As separate individual products.

And after looking over his patreon, I see no such announcements have been made. If this is the case, they need to communicate it clearly and effectively. Otherwise people are still In the right for simply assuming incompetence. especially how prevalent. piecemealed or outright abandoned or multi projects are on this site unfortunately or in this h game sector of the industry in general.

This might be something that's already been said a million times, but as someone who's been familiar with the main game for a long time (haven't replayed it in quite a while though), by biggest wish was and still is for it to eventually be ported over or rebuilt into a Ren'Py version. I know it would be quite an undertaking, but I fucking HAAAAATE Unity. It's one of the main reasons I hardly ever replay it. Plus Ren'Py games (in my experience) just run so much better and are so easy to mod. Unity, not-so-much.

Edit: The prospect of a bunch of broken off stand-alones instead is very unappealing.
