Ren'Py The Awakening [v0.4.4a] [SLim Games]

[Spatenklopper]

I don't mean to be a downer or whiner or anything, but It almost smells like the same thing ICSTOR pulled.

Well, I don't want to complain either, but it's been quite a long time just to revise the prologue....

I helped another dev and his team to completely overhaul his game in three months, from the script to rerendering almost 1100 old pictures and animations and again over 700 new ones for the new chapter with the new release.

That's why I'm a bit surprised that it takes almost 1 year to revise the prologue here....

Thanks, interesting insight for us people that don't know donkey about how long it would usually take to do all this. Probably it takes longer for different projects since these most games differ, but yeah, 1 year is a long time. Out of curiosity what game and dev did you help, if you dont mind me asking?

"I helped another dev and his team....."

This dev might be solo, might have a demanding day job, might not be a skilled as those guys, might have had Covid, might have had family issues, might be burned out, might be tired of people bitching on a pirate site, might not have the computing power.......the list goes on and on as to why some people get huge updates monthly and some small updates yearly.

I didn't want to go into too much detail because it doesn't really belong here.

But the dev I am referring to is a also lone wolf, the "team" consists of 5 people all proofreaders/translators/testers.
Writing, rendering, coding, everything depends on one person and he doesn't earn a single dollar with it, which is why he also has a main job.
Yes, he has good computing power, and I'll concede to Slim that the animations take up a lot of time in this game, but to be honest, the ratio of scope and duration simply doesn't fit here.

Ultimately, I don't care either, I get the game here on a pirate site for free, I'm happy that it continues, I'm annoyed that it takes forever until I see my Fairy again, but as long as it's not abandoned I'm satisfied because I don't pay anything for it.
But that's the point, with such long development times, I lack the seriousness behind such projects to support them financially.
I don't pay for other people's "hobbies".

Some recent news Slim said the update would come out this month

 

[Jaun Karr]

I assume he means October when he says that, as today being the 28th, there's not a hell of a lot of September left.

I'm sorry that I've been quiet for a couple of days now.
I have been under the weather a little, but I should have made a post at least.

I want to apologize that the update is still not out yet. It should have been out since mid-last month. I kind of was struggling to get the renders going. I've been staring at the program ready to go but just wasn't able to produce really any renders. Some sort of an artist's block? But I'm not here to make any excuses.

Anyway, the update will come out this month 100%. And I want to do a live stream on the discord server if you want to watch and/or want to ask any questions about anything really (except too personal questions). I'll be streaming building the amusement park. So if you're interested in that feel free to hop by
I will go live on Monday at 18:00 CEST

This new update will also be free for everyone to make up for how long it took.
Let's keep moving forward and get more content out

Maybe its one of those thrilling releases on the 30th? You can't count out that he promised it at the end of the month. I guess most Dev's like to stretch out the allotted time for more working hours and rests in between. This probably isn't his main focus as work anyways and probably has a 8-5 white collar job or something.

Smells scammy

I did say It smelled ICSTORish. But I believe in at least giving him the benefit of the doubt. Who knows, this update might actually have something new instead of being a re-work for the nth time.

 

[stormhawk]

HE REGRINDING SAME CONTENT FOR YEARS

 

[skater555]

this 3rd part should have released last month, then ofc he got sick and said he lost 7 days work (last month), now its the absolute end of next month, he did the same with part 1 and 2 of the rework, months silence excuse..

The Parteon post mentioned here was the 19th of September. (in my timezone)
The live stream talked about in this post happened on this Monday the 19th.

But since the post says "Anyway, the update will come out this month 100%". We should expect the update in the next couple of hours?!

So is the prologue not supposed to have music or did I fuck something up? It's just completely silent after I get out of the hospital.

Let's just say the silence is real

What? Thanks ... that helped a lot.
But nah, can anyone just tell me straight up instead of being so cryptic?
