VN Ren'Py Abandoned The Family Secret [Ep. 2 v0.1.2.2p] [Aorrta]

[Madeddy]

So, i stumbled in this and are confused.

Whats with this game? I read something about a remake? Is the current version problematic? Whats with Episode 1? I did`n find it. Or is this simply another idiotic version naming scheme?
A explanation would be appreciated.

Don't worry the first episode is included in the download.

The game started off as a mother/son incest game but had to be altered along the way due to Patreon's new shitty policy.
It got a new name and after many, many delays episode 2 was finally released.
The new update wasn't really well received because of the gameplay being very tedious and clunky, so the dev decided to start from scratch again. Most likely due to those two reasons.

Don't expect anything this year though, the dev is infamous for not meeting his own deadlines.

Thanks for the clearing of my questions.

I am not sure if i look more in depth at this when the new versions comes. Along with the bad versioning there are hints which let on that in the planing/management section isn't much substance present. A red flag in short.
Pity. Graphics look good.
I noticed some complains about the game size. Which image format do they use? jpeg, png?

Considering the most of the team have full time jobs so that they don't dedicate all their time to this, it's understandable but also can't really give a fair comment whether it's their design style or just a lack of time.

Been such a long time since I've looked into this. Fortunately I didn't delete their zip file. Ok so they use a mix of both jpeg and png with approx 1.3gigs (This is their episode 2 images folder less sounds and videos which were inside) of mixed HD & 4K jepgs purely for episode 2. Each image is roughly 1 - 3mbs each and there's a number of them. Then they have a separate images folder (I think it's for episode 1 of around 0.5gigs) so call it 1.8 gigs of images or thereabouts.

Realistically, they need to have a second thought around compression if they're sending out roughly 1.8 gigs of images. Just depends if they ever get around to updating their patrons and release their reloaded game before other games finish up. Based on their past release schedules, there's an argument that some devs could potentially finally finish their sagas before Aorrta release their first chapter of their reloaded game. It's such a shame to make that kind of comment but devs actually have finished games.

Developing in freetime aside a main job and having not much time isnt a problem for me. I understand. Its though something else if the project management and other basics noticeable not fit. The dev team should try to add some knowledge from my POV. Good pics, nice story and some scripting isnt all whats needed for a project. I noticed many people underestimate this. Really.
We will see.

The reason for my question: Ren'py supports *.webp format, which gives even uncompressed significant space savings compared to the old formats. Citing myself from months ago in another talk:
"I did a test with all the project images (~230MiB) and converted them to lossless(!) webp -> 152,6 MiB; with the quality set to "-q 95" (lossy) i got it to astounding 34,2MiB."

This speaks for itself. Someone should mention it to the team. There is also the new *.flif format(even better), however not supported yet.

Don't take it wrong buddy. It's not against you, but Aortta is a liar and a non-professional guy. That's all. Again, my comment isn't against your person, but him.

I thought saddog is the worst dev until i know aorrta.

Why?

 

[Piyush3362]

i cant believe paytreons still support this dev and he just keeps on milking them

Saddog is a saint compared to this dev and Gumdrop.

So is this version Really buggy for anyone else? I've just started the game and every other scene, can't find the images (so blank screens) and crashes galore. I tried to talk to the mom about the Wacom for Shannon and the game straight up gives up and shuts down.

 

[wm4rch3lius]

any update about walkthrough? please share it....

 

[botc76]

Damn, I hate shit like this.
Why would a dev disable rollback AND program the game in a way that using unren to enable it seems impossible.

"Oh yeah, I want my game to be less enjoyable. I want people to waste a shitload of time save-spamming and constantly reloading it, so they can try out different options. I'm sure that will get me more patreons!"

 

[botc76]

Also, can I make the incest patch work with the compressed version?

Don't forget Slonique! BBC anyone? xD

 

[botc76]

I tried, but play a whole more week, for one short scene with the chubby girl?
And then another?
Maybe you can follow several storylines at the same time, but if so, I sure didn't find ways, so it was just unbelievably boring grind, due to the horrible gameplay.

This game has great renders and the setting with such a diverse array of women could also work, but the really bad gameplay and the needless grind are just annoying.

I really hope the remake improves on that, if it ever happens.

Yeah, its really buggy for me too. Game started perfectly and it was fine untill after the christmas scene, but when I try to go to the bathroom on Tuesday and forward time for the peeking scene (as the walkthrough instructed) the game crashes and says the scene is missing. Anyone an idea how to fix this?

Edit: Hm, a few pages back, someone reported the same problem. It seems to be connected to the Incest-Patch. I'm tryin it without it now. Wish me luck.

Edit2: Works for me.
