Dev Blog: Themyscira Stand Alone & 2024 RoadmapMon 8:24 AMHey everyone, we hope you had a fantastic holiday season and are geared up to jump into 2024 with us. Let's skip the fluff and dive straight into the meat of this month's dev blog, where we have two exciting updates to share: February's Themyscira update and the roadmap for our scheduled releases this year.

February's Themyscira Update:

As we step into the third month of standalone development, (Henshin initiated the project back in November) we currently have a tested version, patiently awaiting new content from SR7. The expected content bottleneck is in progress, and we're working diligently to address it. It's crucial to be transparent here – the standalone version takes precedence over Unity integration. To ensure a complete version by the end of February, we've temporarily shifted Unity implementation to low priority. This means the full Themyscira experience might take a few additional months to integrate fully into Unity. However, we guarantee, there will be a content complete and playable version by the end of February, we just can't guarantee it's in Unity as well.

Additionally, a few changes are in the works, notably the introduction of a new "support splash screen." This will appear upon exiting or completing content. Furthermore, we'll be releasing multiple versions simultaneously, detailed as follows:
Patreon / Itch.io Exclusive Version: This will provide the complete Themyscira experience as intended by SR7. All content in Themyscira will be accessible on PC, Mac, and Android.Public Version (Newgrounds, Itch): A fun experience with several characters fully content complete, playable on any device with a web browser!
2024 Roadmap:

Given the development of three versions of SU, we believe it's crucial to share the release schedule for bi-monthly updates up to October. While the contents of the updates are subject to change, here's our anticipated version release schedule:
Feb 29th: Themyscira Update (Standalone, Unity)April: SU UnityJune: SU UnityAug: SU UnityOct: Standalone
In the off months, we'll also be rolling out an Android update.
TLDR : There was something shiny over there and it caught our attention so we're going to focus on that now. You know that SU content you were hoping for? Well fuck you. It's going to take 3 times longer to get it, and that's if we get around to it. :ROFLMAO:

Im gonna try and redo the game from scratch to take it in new directions, as soon as i have a working Alpha i will post it here for free and create a Patreon to replace my sucky potato computer with something actually working to keep the project going. Plenty of the work is already done and im just learning the painful process of coding.
Im afraid that it will be on renpy, no idea how to code unity and it does not seem to be working for SR7.
And yes, all will be free, patreon only to help me and to vote on choices.

Any advices and/or guidance?
Just noting that this is still a thing...

https://f95zone.to/threads/renpy-su...npy-demo-community-development-thread.144779/

Note that there are three different versions talked about in the linked thread above:

1) SU Re-Imagined - Basically follows the SU gameplay, but a number of things have been reworked and new gameplay elements are being introduced (example: A fully functional threat level system has been implemented...). Also a few things have been streamlined to reduce the number of clicks to do a few things, although new gameplay elements have also been introduced. IMHO it'll eventually be a much more enjoyable exerience than the coding train wreeck that is SU Unity, which works until it doesn't... Some people prefer SU ReImagined already, they just want more of the SU Unity content included. More help would be nice... Also, it's designed to be moddable, and new girlpacks can be set up fairly easily, assuming you have artwork already for said gals...

2) SU Rebuilt (2): This is a more faithful attempt to re-create SU in Ren'Py.

3) A PC port of the official Ren'py Android port of SU. A LOT of SU Unity stuff isn't in this port ATM, and a few things are truncated.

My point in bringing this up is that unless you plan to do 100% new art (i.e. not use any of SR7's art), it might behoove you to take a look at these, and then decide if you want to do your own thing or maybe help out with one of the projects mentioned above instead. Of course, the above efforts do not have an associated Patreon or whatever, so if you were looking to make money off of your efforts, at that point you might as well do 100% your own game, and ditch SR7's artwork entirely as it's not yours...

Our efforts are not monetized for reasons, mainly 'cuz SR7 is the one that put in all of the hard work, we are just showing our love for the game. Transcribing stuff across to Ren'Py is time consuming, sure, but since GS Games releases free versions of SU Unity (eventually), yeah it's just a fan homage to an (eventually) free game.

Anyways, should SU ReImagined interest you, hit me up in the SU ReImagined thread! Lots of stuff that still needs to get done, but a fair amount has been done already. Same for SU Rebuilt (2), xMendoza's effort.

This is the ultimate test of the idea that "SU would be better if SR7 just drew and someone else codes"
If the content is still mediocre then the game is truly washed.

Wow what a month we have had at GG. We're off to the best January we have had in 5 years. I know this forum is humble, and doesn't at all want credit for the traffic. But thank you all who post religiously after an update. Continue to do so as it really helps us grow!

But again since this thread only offers great suggestions I took it upon myself to round up the best of the last 7 days.

1) Release game on 29th of Feb, next year as well, as there is no leap year. (Great suggestion \\_Tremolo_//)
2) Be willing to pay for outside help (weird suggestion we pay a coder currently, but thanks Deepsea we will get on it)
3) Remember to to continue to drive people to our large discord server, if they want up to date correct information. (Awesome suggestion Deepsea!!!!)
24) Pay for copy & pasted art from fan art thread, that is created by SR7.
5) Ban SR7 from copy and pasting, that is forbidden and only allowed by non SR7 people.
6) Post every week on Wednesday with awesome suggestions from this board.
8) Again ask SR7 to fire me
9) Make sure to plug the $1.00 tier to actually see correct information, and stay informed.
14) Add more numbers to pad this list, because we all know this thread are veracious readers, and the list is important.

Well that wraps up another great Wednesday post here. Again we take this thread with the utmost seriousness. Just as serious as it takes in presenting factual information, and support for creators they enjoy. Until next week.

I was unaware of those so i was just doing this by my side, mainly because i think that i can do a better story and ideas than SR7 (its not a tall bar at all) in such an awesome world as is this one =).
Of course im using whole new art, most of the hard work, at least until Harl adquisition is already done, even with the fucking potato PC that its draging me down. but like i said im a graphic designer not a coder wich bring us to:

Im stuck with a couple details on the game engine, ¿Any one with Renpy experience wanna help me to solve some VERY simple issues? Since im learning on the fly and reverse enginering i reached the point where something really dumb is anoying me and i simply cannot get it to work.

So is it even worth downloading Android version right now? Or would it just make more sense to download the PC version? I've made like progress on the PC version and everything but Android being more mobile is always kind of nice but if it's missing like a bunch of the stuff I don't really see the point.

so how tough is it to move from storing save files in registry to more sensible and dedicated location, like the game folder? it's been 8 years come on.
also whose idea was it?

the tool used to build the game is called Fungus. That tool stores saves in the registry. So it would require rebuilding the entire game to move the saves.

which if you play the Android version, which uses ren’py, it store the saves, for whatever reason, in both the app folder and game folder.

so to answer the question. It is incredibly time intensive to move where the Unity version puts the saves.

I've suddenly had a problem with this game. Whenever I started it before it came up in a window that only took up a small part of the screen, and now when I start it, it takes up the entire screen. I went to the screen resolution option. Usually it gives me multiple options, but now it gives me only one, 1600 x 900. Anyone have any idea whats going on?

The slow progress and unclear timeline for completion on this game is why I only check for its updates yearly. Really stop and think about how long development has gone on for, how long development takes to add content currently, and how we have no sense of how long it will take for the game to be "complete" or what that even means.

That's leash scene
thanks, I was trying to clear all the pre-unlock scenes but I'm missing a few - Artemis Bordello 2 which I think is locked behind the sportsmaster event that I don't seem to be able to trigger and A couple of Zattanna scenes which seem to be bugged. I'll probably just trigger the prison event in a moment

I was just checking Artemis bordello 2 scene is she having sex with Slade as Tigress. Maybe you should put her in Tigress costume.

Good Morning, and happy Wednesday. If you don't know we post here every Wednesday and have for a couple months. Not monthly, but weekly. I know weeks and months are easily confused here, but I think this thread can figure it out.

I was going to comprise only the brightest and best suggestions from this thread over the last week but really they have dried up. I wonder if it's just a lack of imagination, or they will pour in when all those great positive fans play the build the minute it is leaked on Feb 29th. Although there isn't much, there is several great things we will bring back to our meetings this week.

1) Make sure the bar is lowered, so you all can get Grillo a PC.
2) Amend the list of community developed projects going on. There is Rebuild, Rebuild Reimagined, Rebuild that got mad at Reimagined, Rebuild that needs a new PC, Android to PC, and abandonded Rebuild from 3 years ago.
3) Remember to meet the users low expectations here or the game will be a wash.
4) Make sure to point out this thread is 3 months behind on official announcements, even though it only $1.00 to stay up to date.

Remember we take all these posts with the same seriousness as this forum does in supporting creators.

Just addressing any potential misinformation.

xMendoza and I still chat regularly, and support each other's efforts to create for free, working, and of course unofficial, Ren'Py ports of Something Unlimited. In fact, we briefly chatted via PMs a few days ago...

I've never played the Official Android Ren'Py port of SU as I don't have a suitable Android device to try it out in any case, so I can't speak to it's current state. That would be a question for Gunsmoke Games ...

As for SU ReImagined and SU Rebuilt(2), the unofficial community efforts to port SU over to Ren'py to enable modders to create new SU related content for SU, yeah there's a thread for that:

https://f95zone.to/threads/renpy-su...npy-demo-community-development-thread.144779/

Note that both efforts have released updates within the next month, should such things interest you. The latest version of SU ReImagined is still in 'beta' so check the most recent posts for links, SU Rebuilt's latest version is linked through the OP. Both projects are making slow but steady progress, despite prognostications to the contrary...

Both efforts are 100% community efforts, being shared for free for the F95Zone community. It's our way of sharing our love of SU, using a different, some might say less bloated, more stable and flexible game engine.

Also do check out the SU Sprite Re-Mix and Fanart thread if such things interest you. It's well over 200 pages at this point and there is some really cool stuff in there!
https://f95zone.to/threads/something-unlimited-sprite-re-mix-and-fanart-thread.118041/

Enjoy!

are you really unable to stop bitching just because we dont shill for you? holy fuck, you are seriously childish. I have seen people being immature before but you are outright childish. Now I know why the game is taking a nose dive. Yall have a game with potential, but your excuses and lack of effort are a joke. Now i am super glad i am not supporting you anymore, your ego hit your brain with a pick.

dude, you know that you can play the game for free, right?
And basically, you can pay at most $1, right?
.......
And you're still saying "low effort"? I don't understand ?
