Ren'Py The Awakening [v0.4.5b] [SLim Games]

[LexArma]

I'm confused. So apparently 0.4.1 ends fairly abruptly once you get out of the hospital,
0.4.0 changelog has characters you never even get to see in 0.4.1, and then there's supposed to be a prologue separate from the game? What is up with this versioning scheme? Or do I just need more coffee?

Play 0.4.1 then version 0.4.0
I think he reimagining games with better graphics.

[Mr.Blackwell]

[micmitja]

Oh ok is there a walkthrough mod for 0.4.1 beta1?

there is no wt mod , nobody updated one in ages, you might use cheat mod that one should be universal , but thats it

 

[gigan]

for the beta you actually do not need a walktrough.There is maybe 1 scene where i´m not sure about it but the rest is straight forward

 

[amiable34]

people don't pay for the game and say milking milking and milking

not the point,still milking those who do pay.

 

[Belnick]

noit even the gallery scenes work, missing images

anyone got the old version download link? at least then you could load older scenes

I am a bit confused about the "beta".
The main question I've got is "is the prologue remake REALLY necessary, and needed right now?"
And the other question is "will that other girl" be the remake of the sister? If so, WHY? She was fine the way she looked before.

Remaking the prologue has always been the plan, SLim has never made a secret of this. It often appears on the Patreon polls for which content will be prioritized and yes it does always lose out to "new" content, which is why I believe it's getting done now. If SLim doesn't just make an executive decision and just do it it'll never get done.

Is it necessary? I personally believe so.
The original prologue was a learning experience for SLim and involved some of the earliest content he'd made, as his abilities and skills grew he realised he could do better. The new form of the game that was made is a reflection of that. During the change, some major inconsistencies have occurred between the prologue and the current version, the main one being that characters simply no longer look like how they did which has been the cause of a lot of contention in the past, but other things such as the living situation are also the cause of some issues. There is no way MC could have tried climbing in through the bathroom window when first returning home in the new version since the game has switched from a single floor detached house to an apartment that isn't situated on the ground floor, and MC hearing the neighbours from his bed is more likely if he shares a wall with them than if they're a building away (though I could believe a particularly loud argument could still be heard, open windows etc.).
Having inconsistencies that mean certain things couldn't have or likely didn't happen means that knowing what parts of the prologue are canon difficult to get a grasp of.

As well as the inconsistencies, new players are frequently confused by the existence of a separate prologue, especially since it has its own version number. There are still examples of this right here on these last few pages. Many new players don't realise there is a prologue, others don't know if they need to play it or not and then there are those that aren't sure if they need to play it first or can go back to it.
Once the prologue has been rebuilt into the current game the original prologue can be ignored, eliminating a lot of confusion, and simply just kept for prosperity's sake if anyone cares.

As for the "sister" she hasn't changed. The game has let us know that she's isn't a natural blonde. There have been flashbacks of her as a child with dark hair, the flashes of her as a brunette during this first part of the remade prologue is her from at least 2 years ago. She likely hadn't begun dying her hair regularly yet.

not the point,still milking those who do pay.

Patreon is a support platform, not a store, creators aren't actually obligated to provide anything at all. If a patron feels like they aren't getting what they pay for then it is their own responsibility to cancel their support. Game development isn't a quick process, months between updates is common, but if you don't like supporting a dev in the times between updates then don't. It's really that simple.
As far as what other people do with their money, that's their business.

Throwing the word "milking" around here feels off though too, SLim has been pretty consistent with quality and timely releases so I don't understand why it's a topic in this thread. I've been tossing a few bucks at this game for a long time and I've never felt like my money wasn't helping this game, SLim pays for music, pays a writer, pays voice actors, buys assets etc. If he didn't then the overall quality wouldn't be this high, we'd just get pretty pictures.

The new update is the first part of a rework of the beginning of the game (the prologue that's been separate since forever), you need to start a new game to see it. I don't even think the rest of the game is in the new prologue beta since there's still a chunk to fill in.
I see you say you started a new game though. Works fine for me. What platform are you playing?

Does this game have mind control??

 

[Connoisseur NTR]

Hi can someone tell me which link to download

 

[Deleted member 95950]

As for the "sister" she hasn't changed. The game has let us know that she's isn't a natural blonde.

It seems to have also let us know that she got a breast reduction in the last two years? I might be wrong, but the brunette/natural version appears a little more heavily endowed than the blonde version I'm used to.

thx, almost no other game have old link left on main page

The only difference I noticed was her hair colour I could be wrong I guess, I wasn't paying too much attention. But I doubt SLim would make major changes to characters for this new prologue section because it would mean remaking a lot of images from the rest of the game.

edit - He did say "Some parts are still rough and need some work, but overall this is the general direction it will take." So it may well be that she has breasts that are larger than intended and he's planning on fixing them.

He kind of has form there, though. He's tinkered with the sister's look on at least one previous occasion. Maybe it's like a Wonderbra or something, but I can't help but see the brunette image as having rather larger boobs than this, say:
