Ren'Py What a Legend! [v0.7.03] [MagicNuts]

[moskyx]

I guess e means eyes, b means eyeBrow, m means mouth. Wide and up are pretty self- explanatory, neu probably means neutral, and so on.

Can't possibly make much sense from variables like these. abusmall looks like 'abysmal', lol. I wouldn't be surprised if these are even in hispanic though. It's only their problem that the code is so bulky. The dialogs in the code itself and no functions to, let's say, return a set of poses. They just call that show function constantly. You're right, this is painful to maintain and to fix.
Judging by the structure I guess that's how they teach to use RenPy in those YT tutorials. If you actually going to learn programming first, then giving a distinctive name to a variable is like the first thing you'll learn. I guess they just skipped it altogether and started with the most basic functionality that RenPy could provide.
Well, it's their funeral.

Those are actually layered images that compose the full pic we see, which I wouldn't call 'the most basic functionality that RenPy could provide' (it's not rocket science either and many games use it, but still). And that's just the way you code that in RenPy, using the show statement: what you called 'variables' are actually the preset poses devs defined somewhere else in the scripts (after creating the art for them), and they are calling them here the way they are suppossed to. I guess the names are (or were, five years ago) distinctive enough for devs, but I agree they could be more clear.

Dialogs are always in the middle of the code in every RenPy game, but this code is particularly complex due to those layered images (take into account that there are 3 characters on this particular scene), and the game is designed so those poses change after every dialog line or action. It's their problem the code is so bulky, sure, but that's just how they chose to make this game more than four years ago, and also a big part of its success because it almost looks like a fully animated game. I don't think most of complainers are really aware of this game's actual complexity.

Nice! In the last 4 days 6 bugs were fixed and 5 new bugs popped up. I see that hip surgery is still hindering his progress.

These guys are obviously stalling for time but for real complex code that is actually true. I write code for a living and fixing mistakes is like finding the error in a long math equation, because programing relies on the all the previous steps in a chain to be correct if one part is wrong then everything down the chain is affected; it's actually more like "fix one error, find 100 more".

That being said renpy game structure is VERY forgiving of such errors due to most events being single variable control, most events in renpy are effectively boolean statements, there is very little logic that has to be fixed (which is the most frustrating part of debugging) and most errors are self contained.

It was intentionally designed that way for simplicity sake, which is why so many people use it.

Yeah the whole development is a joke, pretty much made up numbers to fake progression... i know debugging takes time, but not 6 months to a year, especially when its not even the first release but their 7th... This was a great and promising game one time, but something went wrong during these past years and the devs got too comfortable and lost passion. Bummer.

A proof that this is just a scam. Their progress bars always go up in a steady way, while if their excuses were true, we should see periods of inactivity and periods of huge activity.
We'll have the definitive proofs in september. They said that thanks to school, they'll have more time to spend crunching on the game. We will see. I bet the progress is still gonna increase by 1 bug every report.

They are earn much for 2 years without update. Game is great but very slow update.

 

[mathluccas]

Is it one of their excuses for delay?

Yeah, supposedly the dev had a hip surgery, iirc it was around january or february 2023. And yes, it is often brought up as one of the reasons the update is taking so long.

 

[D2K]

holy cow two years since the last update? indefensible.

the tag says abandoned but Dev updating patreon, what's going on?

When the updates are crazy long and F95 loses trust in dev

TWO YEARS!!!
I hope my GRANDKIDS will live up to the release

tag appears after 6 months of no updates I believe

18 actually.
6 months is they go that long without any signs of life. The rule exists since scammers will just keep saying they are working on something while not releasing any game updates to string people along.

The last two months of pretend development, for your viewing pleasure:



I was gonna highlight the seemingly asymptotical attributes of this data, but it's already been done.

Doing god's work here. I believe if you collect the data for the last 2 years and plot a graph it will be a perfect 1/x asymptote.
Is there proof this dev is from Spain or has he become a royal from Nigeria?

Back when I first discovered his patreon many years ago and saw they listed a specific number of debug to be done I knew the whole progress chart is made up.

Nice signature btw.
