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

[Omnikuken]

ignore the salty replies. What you were enquiring is completely valid. Don't let the dwellers who spend 12 hours a day on this site tell you otherwise.

I wish the devs well but this sort of thing is far too common with so many new games on this site. Arguably even badik gets too much of a pass if it wasn't so monstrous in content. Too many times do fairly recent games release an update that can be played in 10 mins but took 6-8 months just to drop.

Not saying this game is one of those, I doubt chesnut and co are like that but its definitely a reoccurring problem. Ambition sells much more than practicality on this site. I've seen threads argue to the death over an abandoned title. Very strange

Glad you chose 1 of the worst counter to your point to try and argue devs blow

Having a kid isn't what's causing the update to take over a year, It's the size of the content for this update. This is the largest amount of content they've ever planned on any of their releases.
Now having a baby has slowed them down a bit. But they aren't massively behind what their normal progress would be.
An example of just how large this update is compared to previous ones would be to look at the art tasks (This is usually the slowest part of development). The previous update (which had been the largest up to that point) had 199 art tasks and took chestnut 10 months to complete. The current update has 280 tasks a massive 40% increase on the last one. Hence the reason I felt gomiras story should have been a 2 parter rather then a single release.

Yeah not to be that guy but pretty sure people would be less prone to complaining if they did updates more often with smaller doses of content. Just so we can at least be assured that the project hasn't been abandoned.

They actually had a vote on it on patreon and more people voted for bigger updates with more time in between them. There's not really any reason to think it's abandoned since they regularly post status updates and evidence that they are still working on the game.

This site just doesn't really like a lot of patreon devs. Certain devs kind of ruined everyones faith by taking forever to update and then only updating a small amount of content. So now half the forum thinks every dev is trying to scam them if there isn't a new update every month. You'll see the exact same complaints on other game threads that take follow the same sort of large updates with lots of time in between them approach that this game does.


Personally I prefer the bigger updates. I mean waiting is annoying but it's not like this is the only game I play. While I'm waiting for this game to update I'm playing some other game and while I'm waiting for those games to update I'm off playing this game or another game. Even for games I play that update frequently I usually don't play them immediately.

It seems that game developers can't win. If they produce infrequent large updates, then some people are going to complain that there's too long between them. If they post frequent small updates, some people will complain that there's not enough content. It seems that what some people want is big updates at least once a month, and of course they have to be high quality and bug-free. If it's just a two-person team, as with this game, that's not going to happen. (In fact even with a big team it would be very, very difficult if not impossible.)

They could have hired the amount of people necessary for an AAA game for this, producing contents worth a week of play every months, with every possible amount of girls imaginable, without bugs, available for every platform and of course free of charge, in short a miracle, and there will be still complain, imho it's an uphill battle.
At this point the idea that the devs are milkers it's already established and try to reason with these people is futile, and will only result in a waste of time at least that's my opinion.

Their patrons voted for this (fewer and bigger updates) and they have a weekly sign of life post so not sure what gives the impression it might be abandoned?

 

[Balddog]

I wonder when the next update will be?

 

[Jondoen88]

I wonder when the next update will be?

Roughly 5% per month. 50% now. So a year. To give room for polish and fuckups.

 

[Omnikuken]

It took them 8 months for 50%, you do the math

Seems like good idea and it's true but i don't think they can do this since they only make 8k per month. I recently get into this game and really like it so far. Was played the something unlimited, innocent witches etc but none of them are this enjoyable and stick to the point. It seems like this game getting update really slow and not a big progress so far? well when i'm looking to others like gunsmoke games, sad crab company etc they make shit ton of cash but still no big deal also.. I hope this game and the devs gets better cuz ngl i really like this game so far.

I'm sorry, but my post was ironic and somewhat of a rhetoric answer to the "dev milkers" constant complain that seem the meme of the moment nowadays here and in other forums, so forgive me if it looked like I was asking for something more from them.
That being said I can assure you that both Pistachio and Chestnut have a strong work ethic and they are really dedicated to the development of this game, hence why the updates are slow, they prefer both quality and quantity with no compromises about these two things, so they take all the time to do a good and flawless work, and they release an update only when they think it's good enough and nothing is rushed or bugged.
Also they were always honest and upfront in regard of this approach with their patrons, they never tried to sell false promises and always communicate when problems occurred during every single phase of the game development.
So there's nothing to fear about the game, because they are very focused and dedicated to do their best with it, imho so I'm ready to wait all the time necessary for the next release because I know it will be worth it.

Nah man not at all lol i get it right. Just wanted to share my perspective that's all I can clearly see that. Game is really good, i also don't like rushed work and always prefer quality ones. Good to hear all of this man, thanks glad i find this game.

[james9oo0]

Anybody able to access new content?

I have 6.0.2 but the helpme orb doesn't show anything new and I've gone to all the areas and haven't found anything. It looks like the last patch?

I'm using a previous save, I've also tried the save that was a few pages back.

Help

6.02 is the latest update available so when there's no more hints you have reached the end of the current content. You can keep roaming and triggering repeatable scenes but that's it

Does 6.0.2 have new content?

 

[moskyx]

Does 6.0.2 have new content?

Depends on what was the last update you played. It has new content if you played 0.5 or older versions, but if you played 0.6 then it only contains bugfixes

Most people go by how long the last update was in thinking if a game has been abandoned or not. It's nice to have a weekly post but unless your actively watching this thread it's easy to miss that.

Added on the fact that with so many newer games and other games getting more recent updates it's honestly not that hard to even forget this game exists.

The difference again is, that WAL wasn't made to earn money, but because they liked to give something back. And it was safe from the beginning no incest and other problems. But yeh, 1 year between updates, will make people forget it ever existed...
