RPGM The Curse of Pleasure [v0.9] [RanneRo]

[tgjeevas]

hey guys, can someone help me out on a certain part of the game? I'm currently stuck figuring out how to progress after the first meeting with the goblins, then talking to the mayor, and boo being upset that yuuki won't put out. any guidance would be super appreciated, i'm sure i'm just glaring over something obvious

 

[Rosedie]

Abandoned why?

only came back here because apparently someone messaged me about this, i laughed and deleted it.
Im sure im the one who suggested, this game should be tagged, "Abandoned" because.

its been ALMOST 3 WHOLE YEARS, since any REAL game progress update.

He keeps TEASING, CG, of whats to come to game. thats been done pre-covid and never implemented in game mind you.

He keeps bringing in his "Family" as an excuse to not work on this, if thats the CASE and if your family is your number 1 priority (i respect that, truly do.), give/sell the project to someone else. Or, if you cant/wont do that, then just "Abandon" the game, give an official apology.

He keeps DELAYING, is own GIVEN deadlines.
(if he didnt do all that i mentioned, im sure people would LOVE to collab with him and hed get more than he bargained for)
and the last upate was what, a BUG FIX thats only available on his discord? (i left, so dont ask me.)

so hey, if you want a game thats gonna take till 2040 or 2123 to MAYBE update?
this game, right here. is it.
you want more, im sure i left my feelings on this game, years ago. just search name on this page.
edit* the only reasons why people are DEFENDING HIM, is most likely theyre his mods/patreons. or new people who just BARELY, discovered this game.

He hasnt brought up his family in a year or so (I think). You are missing something here... RanneRo doesnt give a fuck about releasing the game as soon as possible at this point because he is doing it for himself. If people give him money... great for him! but thats no legal or moral obligation. Sell the project? given deadlines? dude Rannero isnt doing any favours to anyone... this is his golden egg goose.
I seriously dont understand how can someone come up with something like "sell the project to someone else if you cant finish it" Its his idea and project and vision why would he give his OWN given "burden" to someone else? Oh and yeah... he gave himself deadlines but thats the funny thing... he gave it to himself which means he doesnt have to answer to anyone. Greedy mf is probably spending more time training his AI to draw art for him and milk games for years to come. No moderator defended him since 2020. Having more than 1 braincel means acknowledging that the game is very flawed starting from the RPGMaker choice. The scripting of events which is borrowed from Rhode Fortress dev and happens to be inefficient and that also affects (if im not mistaken) how assets for each scene are drawn. Gameplay is horrible: no journal, no clear objectives, kinetic story and combat mechanics that suck and will probably never be used again. The only good thing about the "game" is that Yuuki is cute looking and sucks Boo's dick. Thats about it and its not gonna get much better because Rannero wont draw anus for her (no anal ever), no bestiality (could also say there wont be any stuff like shibari or bdsm), and no feet (at least 0.9 will have some armpit action). Oh and dont forget the "exposure" mechanic or whatever its called which doesnt have much purpouse outside events with Boo. The best you can get is comments from villagers about your nudity and/or title but thats not even a good feature nor even finished.

Thanks for the info bro, ngl the game seems average af anyways, art wise nothing special and gameplay wise other games have the same content. Most of us just download a full save and go recollection room anyways lol

like i said, the only people who will defend him are his patreons and mods. case in point.

 

[Kilometer Immorales]

Rant time. I am coming back to this game after an extremely long time and damn.....still no update. I went through the discord and patreon posts and looks like he is working on the game, just not giving us anything more than a few images. And now he has started using AI to make his cg. How r these people still supporting him and waiting for updates. Any sane person would've stopped like 2 years ago. But oh well.....it is what it is. He seems to have set quite a lot of goals for this year. The new update better have some insane amount of content. End of rant.

i actually laughed so bad when you said the boo's part HAHAHAHAHA

 

[Teddey]

your sweet promise is so rotten and cunning

 

[「S」- Man]

It is very funny for someone who claims to be in system analysis to be telling you the codebase for this ancient ass version of RPGM is fine simply because "OthER GamEs WoRk FinE"

Well let me put this in a way maybe someone like you could understand. If 2 people use the same tools to make the same product and one succeed and the other one don't, then most observers, at least the ones who aren't completely ignorant, would conclude the problem lies in the person operating the tool. You don't even need to think hard to get this one my friend.

 

[「S」- Man]

I doubt you understand how coding works if you think that an engine without any kind of error handling is okay. I'm not defending the dev, I just replied to a guy who wondered why he doesn't hire a new coder, to which the answer is: "ancient shitty engine with tedious, repetitive code (from the ScaleGarden framework) so barely anyone would be interested and trust issues because the previous guy left him".

Wow dude that's intersting and all but Scale garden lauched 3 games using the same codebase. And Rannero is about to match the time he needed to lauch 3 games, but just to launch like 3 patches.Hmm i wonder what that could mean.

Not a single person here is saying he knows exactly what he's doing people are pointing out that this version of RPGM is fucking trash because it is. To say "uhhh other people make it work fine" Is stupid because that's an irrelevant observation. There was a point in time like a year and a half ago where I would have used that for a legitimate defense for him but at this point it's not an acceptable excuse it's just enough to say it's slowing him down even more from his already existing incompetence.

Scalegarden games are dogshit structurally. Almost like the codebase sucks or something

 

[Neriman]

That's very cool, but what do those hot opinions have to do with the reasons why he isn't hiring a new coder?

Easy... he is GREEDY. Is it that hard to understand? He is willing to let others "help" aka do work for free but doesnt want to bother hiring a coder because he would have to pay them and wants to avoid whatever issues with the previous coder he hired long time ago.. I bet it was an issue related to how much he had to pay.

I can't stop venting, because putting together h-game should not be a problem.

For example, クリメニア / Clymenia, one of my favorite h-devs, who sadly now can be compared to Rannero released 9 different full version games before becoming as slow as Rannero. I bet patrons spoiled dev.

Spoiler: Clymenia games list

I also looked at Rannero's files and compared him to another asian dev. A guy with nickname -
戦争屋さん
I don't care if you like this guy or not, what matter in this case is how many image files the dev worked with during 16 months. The game name is 現代に飛ばされたエルフ娘がHな目にあうRPG (My lazy translation: an rpg about an elf girl in another world working her ass to buy teleport back).


and now compare it to what Rannero do

4157pics:60months:28days= Looks like Rannero work with 2 and half pictures a day. And these don't have to be full images. These files are layers. For example, only a face layer, a hair layer or a single part of dress, or a cum..

damn

While I don't entirely disagree on the clymenia part I don't think it's an entirely fair comparison. Clymenia games improved in stability and art with new entries. They also don't depend on their ci-en supporters nearly as much since their games already sell a lot anyways. Clymenia also has to deal with Kagura games and Steam both of which are a nightmare for JP h game devs. There was a large chunk time in that longer gap that was getting their games ready for steam.

Clymenia has a proven track record of releasing products and improving a lot of aspects. Rannero doesn't and wanted to turn his art into a game with no knowledge on what he was doing and now has to rely on patreon money.

 

[Neriman]

We should pirate Curse of Pleasure to teach Rannero's greedy ass a lesson.

I'm starting the Change.org petition right now. His patreon is DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[childyo]

Looks like the game art will be mid with the author using AI for the next update onwards

I know ai art is bad for the art community, but im not gonna pretend it doesnt look good.

It ~is~ fair. I'm not asking h-dev to learn Unreal engine or Unity. Rpgmaker is easy enough for everyone.

What stability? I never had trouble with Japanese games. You only need to change pc system language to Japanese before downloading and unpacking Japanese games to avoid glitched translation, that can also ruin important game files and crash game. If you complain about English versions, then I guess Kagura had poor translation in English versions.

I believe people who support Rannero would support him even if he only made manga/comics. He could completely ignore h-game dev route... If Rannero would give up on h-game and return to only drawing stuff, people wouldn't abandon him. Everyone would only be happier.
