Ren'Py The Headmaster [v0.16.3] [Altos and Herdone]

[TonyMurray]

The game has constantly more than 2,000 Patreon-supporters since the end of 2020 often more than 3,000 and at the peaks even more than 4,000. So, the chance it will be abandoned is very, very low.

Anything can happen with the dev, and the number of supporters won't have anything to do with it most of the time. However, there's no indication whatsoever of this being abandoned at the moment, so I don't know why it was brought up.

I think people bring it up due to the length between updates and maybe due to perhaps feeling 'burned' by other dev's but you're right, there's no reason to be. Though they take a while to come the updates have a relatively consistent timing based on the norm's for this title. The game has, as far as I'm aware, absolutely nothing that could even be considered as getting close to brushing against Patreon guidelines so I can't see it being pulled from there and the team seem fairly commited to it, even maintaining a free public release schedule.

I don't mind a slow burn. I'm simply not a fan of all-tease-no-payoff. From what has been said regarding the continuation of the game, I think I will wait to see where Chapter 3 is headed. This game is obviously a significant time investment, and I hope it will be completed rather than abandoned.

Patience my friend...
This is an absolutely massive and intricate project that has many more installments to come. The Dev regularly updates us while showing us glimpses of the future. And the Headmaster himself is on a clear mission:



I have no doubt more sex scenes will come our way - and when they do, it will have been worth the wait.

There are only 3 major updates per year, but the quality delivered is consistently high and there's no sign of standards dropping or output diminishing. Don't forget it's just one single Dev working on the game - and he has been at it for a good many years already. A clear labour of love, and we can all come along for the ride.

I believe there are two devs credited, Altos and Herdone. They're a couple.

Altos appears to be the driving force. I'm not sure how much else Herdone does, but it's not nothing;

Interesting, I have done the same with this game as with others. Download -> Extract -> run .exe (this game shows black screen then disappears)
I'll have to investigate I guess

Sounds like you got a piece of shit AV that is blocking/deleting files.

Ok, so it's been a LONG time since I have played, I think v8 or v9? It was right after the test prep was released. Either way, at that time there was not that much content with each of the girls paths established.

***Full or partial kinda sorta spoilers for anyone who wants to enjoy this game fresh.

Sitting down and playing v16.3 (from the beginning again), I have to say, I was never a fan of slow burns but WOW the work that must go into creating the story line for each of the characters, I am amazed at where the game is today. This game is an exception for my distaste for "slow burns".

I love the latest story of the fundraiser, fun all around. I am glad to see Ada mixed into the fold finally (now just waiting for the same with Amy's friends). I am tempted to go back and play out the storyline of Priti and The Inspector (forgot her name) blackmail, however, I cannot bring myself to going back and playing those paths all the way through again as they were early on.

For those talking about progress of sexual relations with the girls taking forever, I have to say, where it was back when I last played vs. now, it has progressed to the point where the HM will be dick deep soon.

My favs by far are Priti, Harriette (maybe wrong name?), and Mrs. Newman. Can't wait for new content but I don't like playing onesie, twosie patches at a time so I'll probably wait for a huge chunk of updates to come out again (nothing negative towards the DEVs).

Keep up the great work, I am looking forward to seeing this story come to a conclusion! For those who say they don't see it (an ending), I can see the HM being given a choice:

Either join with the girls he has formed a romantic relationship with (if you chose this path) to take down Mr. Mykock and the financial backers.

OR, follow the HM down the hole of depravity, I am not sure how that would end exactly but I am sure it will be a ending with what the HM wanted all along, being famous for his disciplinary methodologies and he would probably end up all alone (or something?).

I know it's a lengthy post but I thoroughly enjoyed the game and look forward to playing more!

You spanked them too hard. Or not hard enough.

My favs are Ada and the twins. I love to see humiliation and "only one naked" scenarios. Ada's story is very well done. During early days of maxine fundraiser the devs set her up as a villain. She only cared about her career in photography and constantly mocks maxine. For that her punishment comes on the final day when she is stripped naked by the other girls and is forced to participate in the fundraiser. She retaliates by blackmailing maxine but she doesn't succeed. Now her punishment is weekly spanking at board meetings and fundraising in the punishment uniform. Both are incredibly humiliating and fun to watch.

The twins punishments are also incredibly humiliating. Public shaming was great. Hoping to see similar stuff when they make Cassandra content.

Also can someone post development updates after the update.

 

[zainhen]

Can you strip the girls naked during punishment?

 

[TonyMurray]

Can you strip the girls naked during punishment?

Most of them, yes. You need to pass a couple of rules and need to progress a little with the girls, meaning some of them you can only strip to their underwear so far, but otherwise, yes.

Is there an android APK for the newest update does anybody know? I'm still on version 15.3.1. Thanks

no more APKs from Altos because there are hard limits on the size. The official method is to use the joiplay app to run the windows version. There are instructions on the discord.

There might be someone compressing and re-packaging as an APK; use at your own risk if you find one since it might be malware.

Anyone know what is the update on patreon?

 

[telgalad]

Any hero around that can post Developer update 59? (I hope 69 is a good one
