Imho: always wait for extended... always. This "Basic" is a beta anyway as seen by the dev's Patreon post:
Bless you, I'll sit patiently and await the finished version and partake of your Mod when ready (unless you mean I can turn something off and give the current version a whirl?)No, you didn't turn to the dark side brother.... you simply saw the light
SanchoMod will never fuck you, only add to the experience however you wish since you can turn On/Off everything (well, except the new hotkeys but that's RenPy's fault).
You have multiple scenarios you can pursue as you wish. For current gameplay:
I must have been absent this day in all my years of schooling. Since when does "v1.0" mean final? Hell, it's mostly noted that version "1" is the first actual usable product of it's intended use if anything. The first two largest software companies on the planet being MS and Apple where well beyond "1.0" years before GUIs were even a thing (remember MS-DOS?).well. it SHOULD mean something!
V0.01 is ususally the very first entry
V0.5 - the game is half done
V1.0 games first complete release
everything after = bugfixing nd/or enhancing
2.0 = remake
Alpha= untested, features missing (YOU are the tester! don't complain!)
Beta = in testing, last bugfixes
but I know, that nobody really cares...
so we have gems like V8.4163 - with 30 minutes gameplay...
Neat that there's people like this (unlike BADiK, holy shit do they crucify you there). Sometimes I need don't have the time to catch up with the game from where I last remembered and don't want to deal with having to go through hours again, so I take the mod route and get myself back up to speed
Indeed. I hope I've taken it a step further with SanchoMod since even though there is a "cheat" section it doesn't mean the player has to use it of course. Hell, the player doesn't even have to use the ChoiceGuide (walkthrough). There's many "purists" that use the mod simply for the GUI tweaks and nothing else. The point is that it's your choice how you wish to possibly enhance your media consumption experience. Others opinions of your private matters are meaningless and a futile waste of time and air... imho of course. Bottom line: always do what's best for you, fuck everybody else that tells you that you should do it their way.Neat that there's people like this (unlike BADiK, holy shit do they crucify you there).

Oh, I'm absolutely one of them - in that thread, because 99% of the problems after a new release are mod related and the vast playerbase of the game seems to be too fucking stupid to comprehend that little detail.Neat that there's people like this (unlike BADiK, holy shit do they crucify you there).

DPC codes his game to shaft people who are cheating (with certain known cheats, that is) and fixing that isn't our (collectively) responsibility for everybody who runs into it. DPC got tired of trying to bugshoot things that were always being reported by people who used mods, so he started to sabotage them. I honestly don't blame him. If I give you a solid product and you mod it and it gets fucked up, fixing it again isn't my job. It's on the modder to make a better mod that doesn't break things. (Looking at you again, Sancho1969 , you magnificent bastard)
Yeah it does make sense with how people would report problems with the game while having the mod installed (sorta this is why we can't have nice things sorta-deal)Oh, I'm absolutely one of them - in that thread, because 99% of the problems after a new release are mod related and the vast playerbase of the game seems to be too fucking stupid to comprehend that little detail.
I just remembered there being a discussion with the game being modded and then it quickly got hostile, so I kinda withdrew myself from the whole thing (as it's probably best I should). I'll play their game again from the start... Once I ACTUALLY get more time in my hands
I have to agree - it is simply dreadful, and it is made worse by the poor choice of language being used - you can certainly see how far the proof-reader had got with checking the dialogue! Beyond that point the game was simply painful to play.
If you ask me I would say two more updates or this game lost all his strings to reality. Don't get me wrong but is it possible MC lost half of his brain or IQ between 0.9.5 and 1.1.0? He acts dumber and dumber with each day. I mean... seriously?
