Ren'Py Completed Space Journey X [v2.20_022] [y.v.]

[stalinsvempire]

I haven't played since 1.40, I think. Could anyone please tell me how this game feels now?

I remember it was very fun and cozy at first, but then I figured that the grind was too much and those fetch quest are unnecessary (except the ones where you trade hull plates in bulk - a million or a half for every occasion): you'll need dozens of millions of money to progress; a million here, ten millions there.
I've never managed to progress much, but I suppose the loop repeats in the next system, and then in the next.

There is a lot of new art - is it all available or there are some placeholders?
I remember I was dissapointed that the Holodeck or something was of no use - is it available now? Can I use a hologram there?

I don't have the capacity to add a hw platform that i do not have for testing.

If you have basic knowledge of renpy you can just add a little key widget in the mining screen.
If thats not possible I would remove the port to avoid misunderstanding.

Some users report its playable on joiplay, so android users might try that.

Ah, interesting, Joiplay indeed looks to have a keyboard? Maybe that's a better option then than to try to play an android port.

Still, I couldn't resist experimenting a bit: if the mining game is the only minigame that's unplayable without keyboard, that'd be easily fixed if I add the following code to 730_mining.rpy line 162 as you suggest.

    if renpy.variant("small"):
        imagebutton idle "05_gui/mining button up.png" xpos 0.85 ypos 0.45 action Return("up")
        imagebutton idle "05_gui/mining button left.png" xpos 0.8 ypos 0.55 action Return("left")
        imagebutton idle "05_gui/mining button right.png" xpos 0.9 ypos 0.55 action Return("right")
        imagebutton idle "05_gui/mining button down.png" xpos 0.85 ypos 0.65 action Return("down")
        textbutton "{size=50}Mine!{/size}" xpos 0.85 ypos 0.75 action Return(["fire", mField[mPos[0]][mPos[1]], mPos])
        text "Press Directional Buttons To Move And Align Laser Horizontally And Vertically" size FSIZE_MED xalign 0.5 ypos 1000
    else:
        text "CURSOR KEYS or WASD = Move And Align Laser Horizontally And Vertically / SPACE = Mine" size FSIZE_MED xalign 0.5 ypos 1000

Just curious: Is there any other functionality in your game that'd be completely unplayable without keyboard?

and at what time can I bring her a cocktail and what kind, I have already tried this too and received the answer, I have no thirst...(((((((((((

Pay her a visit after 13:00 and make sure she wears her normal outfit.
Milkshakes can be given once a day regardless time or outfit

 

[rekes]

looks fantastic

Does anyone know if there is a way to complete the mining minigame on Android, since there is no keyboard?

Could you try out the new compressed version for Android, in which I made the following changes?

    if renpy.variant("small"):
        imagebutton idle "05_gui/mining button up.png" xpos 0.85 ypos 0.45 action Return("up")
        imagebutton idle "05_gui/mining button left.png" xpos 0.8 ypos 0.55 action Return("left")
        imagebutton idle "05_gui/mining button right.png" xpos 0.9 ypos 0.55 action Return("right")
        imagebutton idle "05_gui/mining button down.png" xpos 0.85 ypos 0.65 action Return("down")
        textbutton "{size=50}Mine!{/size}" xpos 0.85 ypos 0.75 action Return(["fire", mField[mPos[0]][mPos[1]], mPos])
        text "Press Directional Buttons To Move And Align Laser Horizontally And Vertically" size FSIZE_MED xalign 0.5 ypos 1000
    else:
        text "CURSOR KEYS or WASD = Move And Align Laser Horizontally And Vertically / SPACE = Mine" size FSIZE_MED xalign 0.5 ypos 1000

If you were turned off by the grinding back then, I don't think it has changed any since then, so you probably wouldn't like it now.

I will say that when you start a new game, there should be an option to skip to Day XX. I never tried it, but my assumption is that it lets you skip over some of the basic grinding and unlock more of the content.

I only found this game when it was on 2.0 and, personally, I enjoyed it. The grind is still there and can be a bit tedious, but I broke it up with copious amounts of smashing raiders for bounty missions.
The game can actually be completed. The holodeck is used now, but it isn't some interactive VR you can go into, it is part of the story line with Space Bimbo.
When you look at the Gallery, there are 10 or so pages of scenes or achievements to unlock and I don't think I encountered any placeholder images.

Bots in the Sex Arcade is your ticket to making money.
With 10 bots you can make a million credits a day and once you unlock all the systems and start getting higher end bot parts and shells you can, easily, bring in 5-10 million credits a day (and probably much more).
By the time I reached the Quthor system, I could drop 50-100 million credits and not even blink. Well trained, high end, bots pretty much eliminates any need to 'grind for cash'.

This is exactly the point where I'm stuck, I can't take her out for a walk to raise her reputation...

The same thing happens to me and I have everything up to 300 fp, this is not done correctly.

Have you tried, uh, talking to her? At a certain point, if you just talk to her, you learn the "present" Pet Trick, and once you learn that, you can start raising her rep.

Only way is to hook up a USB-C keyboard if your Android is compatible.

The combat game is fully playable with mouse, as will the new interior combat RPG module.
Engine maintenance and cargo Bay are also fully playable with mouse only and all the dialogues have hot keys but also clickable dialogue options.
I might have forgotten something but could be that the mining game was the only one because that was also the very first mini game I implemented.

 

[pastera]

Hi, I am currently stuck, I need to give 6 units of vortex (a drink) to progress, I know how ot package them but not where to find them? I tried making it in the ship, and visiting all places with merchant but I was unsuccessfull.

Also Moira is nowhere to be found on the ship. I am supposed to speak to her for her reward but where is she?

Perfect! This is how my "fix" looks. Is it okay with you then if I keep the android port up?

that looks great. The mining progress list on the right side which you replaced was anyway only a minor convenience feature and when you finish mining it is doing smart autoload anyway.

how can I increase the technical skill of MC through the console command...?

 

[Ezekiel Thrain]

I can't seem to hand in the Galaxina shell. I multiverse sent myself my copy from a prior play though, I don't know if that might have something to do with it, but the quest to hand it in at Iltari station control is gone. I can't actually confirm that it ever showed up. Either way, without that entry in the log, trying to use the shell on station control does nothing.

You first get the Quest to recover the shell when attempting to go to Krell space for the first time... do you already have the Quest or are you just haveing a shell from a previous game?

 

[yv0751]

GAME.mc.setAttr('TEC', 20) will set it to the value 20.
I recommend not to use that for the other crew members because this might break some quest progressions

I passed that point long ago. I got the quest to recover it, got the shell, didn't immediately hand it in, and then when I tried to later, nothing happened and the quest entry was gone. I never added the shell from this game to the lab, but the one from the prior game was already in use.

Is 20 the MC's max for Tech? I honestly was assuming 10 was(because that would let you 100% repair a bot part, so I was surprised when it went to 11).

I also noticed that some bot pieces like personality and preference tweakers(that go in the precursor cortex spot) aren't at 100% unlike all the other mods. I'm curious if there is a reason for this, for example better traits or bonuses for higher % items?
