Ren'Py What a Legend! [v0.7.05] [MagicNuts]

[TheDevian]

It's also possible that when the MC gets to fuck Gretta, Waldo won't be there anymore, at least as her husband. So let's just wait (a lot) and we'll see

I hope not, at least not at first, though kicking his ass to the curb will likely be part of her story.
Only other way it could have a happy ending is if she is turned him into her slave or something, in a non-sexual way. lol

Ah nuts, we're 5 month's since the last release and the art is just under a third of the way completed. I was hoping it'd be closer or above the 40% mark at this point in time. At the current rate the art won't be completed until October/November of this year. With most likely a further 4 to 6 weeks for final edits and play testing before the next update releases.
I hope in future, if they ever have a story path with over 600 tasks in the total content. That they just break the update into parts rather then trying to do everything in the one release.

Well, a newborn tends to slow down everything else in your life.

They started doing smaller, partial updates, but it was not satisfying, and their supporters voted to NOT do that. Good things are worth waiting for.

Ya I wouldn't be looking for a return to updates every 3 months. I'm more thinking along the lines of when they sit down during their planning stage and tot up the total tasks for content. If the total goes above 600, I really think they should consider releasing it in 2 parts.

Oh, good, The Three Letters. Netorare/Netori is a genre pair where the entire goal is exploring the depths of jealousy and humiliation. They're emotional torture porn that only differ in whether or not the MC is the one meant to be wallowing in jealousy.

It's been shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that Waldo doesn't give a fuck about Gretta and just wants access to her money, so he wouldn't feel the tiniest twinge of jealousy, and at most would shed crocodile tears about it to try to get as much as he could from a divorce settlement. Getting cockblocked in his efforts to get on top of Holly probably got him closer to jealousy than anything involving Gretta would, and even then he didn't show any real jealousy, jut petulance that he wasn't getting his way.

*Does* Gretta have money? I've played this game multiple times and I don't recall any mentions of her having money.

And I disagree. I hate small updates, and I hate having to stop in the middle of a plotline.
Besides, that would also mean that they would have to change the order things are done in, stop in the middle of the creative part, and do the coding, then go back to being creative. It's just not a good way to work.

Hard to say, but she did seem pretty classy, when compared to her slob of a husband, but that does not really mean anything. I mean almost anything would seem classy compared to him, but she seemed educated, and just way too good for him all around. She might not be rich, but he definitely married up. Another matchmaker, perhaps?

When Gretta talks to Waldo at the village's well after knowing he was trying to marry Holly, she says "Who'll pay your debts then?" So it's fair to assume she indeed has money

That's a good point, I'd completely forgotten about that. Doesn't necessarily imply she's *rich* though, plenty of deadbeat husbands have working class wives that keep them afloat.

 

[TheDevian]

Well, it might start off with her asking "where's Waldo?", but by the end, she will be asking "Who's Waldo?"

I suppose I'd have to disagree with you but that's okay. I'm talking about project management and varying their approach depending on what the story path dictates. You'd still be talking about releasing an update with a minimum of 300 content tasks. Which in my mind is still a fairly decent sized update (most likely over 6 months of work).

The point is that, even if it's a fairly decent sized update, it's still not the whole quest. Which is what patrons decided they prefer when they voted for the current approach. I think it was update #3 the one that included Princess Serena's reward scene, plus Holly's introductory quest (the content currently in-game) and it was OK... but people were just blown away when they got Myrtle's quest in full, and I can understand that feeling. I'm sure this is hurting the game's exposure and making some people not support the project, as updates are few and very far between, but devs are still getting quite nice support so I don't see them changing their approach in the near future, or ever.

she does have some nice plots of land...

I was never good at finding waldo, I won't even bother

Princess Serena's

the things I would do to that princess...

He's not really worth finding.

oh god writing is only 83%, ehh cya in 5 months

From what I have seen in 0.5 and 0.6 development I think, but just a guess so take with grain of salt, that some of those are for bug fixes and revisions/rewrites as they finish other stuff and can play test it. I have seen in the previous patches weekly updates them talking about how some of what they have did not feel right once they were testing and had to redo the dialog.

So some of those unfinished writing tasks could be as simple as "Fix Quest A Dialog" or "Quest A rewrites" and as example if Quest A does not need any rewrites they then would mark the task as complete and the progress trackers updates.

Just keep in mind that is just a guess on my part that I extrapolated from what I have seen in their weekly updates posted here.
