Ren'Py Sweet Affection [v0.11.3] [Naughty Attic Gaming]

Just make sure you have enough "you time".
Don't get burned out.

I tell him that on a weekly basis... it's a waste of breath. xD
But maybe he starts listening when other people tell him too.

Consider throwing moist towelettes in his general direction if he doesn't listen...

Is it not possible split the game? Sweet aff 1,2,3? Even Low Quality 7 Gb.

Is it possible? Yes, but will it likely happen? No. With the way the game is designed with everything being together, and it's incomplete state. It will not only change the dev's intended portrayal of the game, but also take extra dev time that is already at a crunch to maintain the steady schedule of release.

A separate part 1,2,3 needs a clear, and planned cutoff point otherwise it will lower the quality if the end game. It will appear as a game that should have been one large game broken into two. Adding the added headache of save compatibility, and transferring.

The dev will have to either upset those content with the status quo are maintain both versions increasing the likely hood of bugs creeping up on top of the bugs from separating the game.

The side characters are not added evenly so what point is potently part1,2 etc overall is unclear, and with the current development of the game some "part 1" content will be considered not even finished.

Ultimately if the dev wanted to separate things each side character would be a stand alone game, but they are not.

I personally like the novel way the arcs aren't connected while in the same game, yet still without making you play the game multiple times as most games would.

Everything is a tradeoff. Is it a tradeoff the dev is willing to make? is it a tradeoff the dev wants to make?

You are absolutely right about that joblo9394 .

I have thought many times about removing all the side-characters from the game and creating smaller VN's for them and let Sweet Affection be completely about M&S (And Suzie.)
But personally I also like that we are basically creating 10+ separate games into 1 game world.

Dividing the game into multiple chapters? At this stage that would be a complete nightmare to implement.
M&S are Level 10, Sidney is level 4, Rose is level 3, Eve is level 1 and etc.
If all characters would be level 4 (Just an example), that might be something we could do.
But at this stage it would be incredibly annoying for everyone (including myself.) having to continuously switch between chapters depending on what story you want to continue.

20GB / 7GB, it's not perfect, I'll be the first one to admit that.
And I'm continuously looking for ways to deliver my game to everyone as smoothly as possible.
I'm always open for suggestions when it comes to that.

I am thinking about zipping the packages into multiple parts.
For example, the LQ in two parts of 3.5GB and the HQ in 4 parts of 5GB.
But my experience is that usually comes with a lot of user error with unpacking.

In a perfect world, I would be able to buy a server, maintain it and keep it up just so everyone can download
the game without any issues.
However, I am definitely not in a financial position to do that.
Filehosts, torrents are the best that I can do.

But in the end, the game size is only going to get bigger.
And hindsight... if I knew the things that I know now...

Actually OP has a secondary "unofficial" download for HQ separated into 5 parts at just over 4.5 GB. I would say don't worry about it for now if the patrons are fine. Non patrons already have alternatives be it the OP download links or the torrent links provided by the rpdl group.

I myself have many ideas that could help, but they just aren't feasible at this stage. It is better for the ship to reach it's destination then to get caught up in what ifs, perhaps, and maybes. The future is unpredictable the sure rout may not be the best, or fastest, but it has the highest chance of getting you there.

While other games require you to download the entire game again with each update, I'm satisfied with the fact that here you can just download the update and upgrade the version.

Yes, that was a gut idea... Now there a few more games you can download just the current update. This was one of first where you could download just an update. But you have to download it when they come out and numerically correct. Or you could have problems later with searching and dead links... But download 100-300 Mb per month is way better than download a whole LQ or HQ version. Not to mention people doesn't know how to download with usual limits...

Hello guys can I playable on joiplay?

 

[joblo9394]

Hello guys can I playable on joiplay?

some hopefully helpful post.

Sorry for the question, but the video does not play, how can I fix this?

If I remember correctly... You need to disable "less updates" in JoiPlay's settings.
That's all I have regarding Joiplay, sorry.

Download joiplay from playstore as well as the plugin for it, that usually works for me

Also Wills747 works on an unofficial, but working Android port.

My compressed unofficial Android port of Sweet Affection v0.10.2
Usual gestures, seethru textbox, resizeable text and dialogue etc etc...
Scrollable choices if multiple
Scrollable textbox - no more text off the bottom of your screen
Alternative persistent saves and log location

**Special Instructions:**
Install apk.
Grant storage permissions on first run!
On first run you will get a prompt to copy the archive.rpa files to "documents/Wills747/sweet.affection/game" folder.
Copy the rpa files to the directory indicated in game. (game will quit now)

What's going on.... She's pregnant in one scene and not in the other...

 

[Deleted member 1371697]

What's going on.... She's pregnant in one scene and not in the other...

Uhm, not sure what you mean.
She is pregnant in all of the level 10 scenes (Except the flashback scenes.)

Sometimes, the camera angles make it seem like she doesn't have a belly though.
Because of the mods/model that I'm using, the pregnant belly sometimes "Bugs" out a little bit during certain poses.

Meaning, it's still there but it looks very, very "strange."
So sometimes I use a different camera angle so you don't see that.
But because of that, the pregnant belly isn't always that clear.
(I try create as many scenes as possible where her belly clearly shows, but sometimes I have to make compromises.)

But trust me when I say that she always has her belly.

20 GB and we get only download options that limit downloads to 5gb or are slow as hell?...

20 GB and we get only download options that limit downloads to 5gb or are slow as hell?...

As far as I know... GoFile does not have a dl quota and is fast.
(I download with ~90MB/s there, sometimes even a bit faster)

I think Google Drive has no quota either.

Edit: I just realized that there is no GoFile in OP
You can find it in J..D's post -> here

This game is pretty good, but it seems like quite a few of the updates are only focusing on the home events. Maybe I'm wrong since it's been awhile from the last time I played.
