VN Ren'Py Abandoned Tales of Unity [v0.11] [Stronkboi]

[excalibertypo]

An old bug, simply press Ignore
It is due to an update in Ren'py which suddenly renders the fade atribute null, it won't appear as you get deeper in the game

alrighty

Two years... Shouldn't this be tagged as abandoned? I see no progress, just empty phrases.

I still check this thread
I still ponder on how I could continue the project

I'm around
I haven't forgotten, it may take time but it's still has it's cogs in my brain

The game looks promising particularly likable characters, as you still planning to remaster the first chapter?

At this point I plan to both remaster the first chapter, but also incorporate the next updates in the form of a "new" game file.
By that I mean, that I'd pretty much release a new executable, saves would be reset but instead of having the player go through the entire game again, they would be offered the ability to pick important choices from past chapters to build a strong base of variables for future chapter, or if they played the game before they could just replicate their choices to continue the story.
Though I am still unsure but I am pondering it

Thanks for the answer and keep up the great work.

That sounds like alot of work for a game that most likely people haven't played for over a year and will probably play from the beginning after it updates anyway.

Why not just continue this project? A remaster already? after a v0.11, seriously I hate when devs do that instead of continuing a project until the finish line. A remaster will make the only fans still rooting for this to abandoned it completely and thus you will too.

It was 18 months between 0.10 and 0.11 and its been over 2 years since the last update. If you want my advice I would recommend putting out content regularly instead of remastering a game that has not had any updates for over 2 years.

It would be different if the game was completed and you did a remaster but since it hasn't moved forward in years that remaster will not make a difference since the game still ends in the same spot with no future updates in sight.

Idk who started this silly idea of doing remasters instead of finishing a game but I have to hand it to him. Seriously do they even understand what a remaster or remake mean??? Big game development corpos are doing that for old games and well sold games not for a v0.11 of an unknow semi-abandoned Estory.

Basically, getting the game back in it's current state is unappealing to me, I don't even recall or figure out where I wanted to go, and I struggle to even see how to go with my current ideas, even my code is a pile of nonsense I can barely write, that's the main reason behind said rework

I still remember when I did by coding boot-camp in JavaScript, my code was always a mess and I had to make it short by using a lot of functions and objects and still wasn't easy.

Also, always build a chart from start to finish with big titles for your games, like this is the start, this what will happen, then he gain power and finally he beat the demon king.

Now as an advice, if you still want to do this game, take the assets again and start by making small chapters of the game. By releasing the game into different chapters, you will keep your code small and you will see clearly where you are at and where you go from there.
Do a remake if you want but don't do it as a summary just rework the existing assets into chapters and see if it works for you better this way.

Thanks a lot for the advices, they're not wasted on me.
The very plan is to change the game's entire structure, take the same characters, or well most of them (The main cast will remain of course!)
Rework their models to fit an artstyle without denaturing them, and recontextualize the story in a way that currently seems appealing to me, I think I want to focus on the conspiracy / mystery side of the universe more than the fantasy one right now.

Worth noting that reworks of games in development not only do happen, they're essentially baked into the current process despite attempts to do otherwise. Pretty much any AAA game you care to point at is going to have some significant rework between the release version and the planning stage, we're just rarely privy to it because professionals don't release v0.01

I would love to play the current build but I keep running in "An exception has occurred"
