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

[moskyx]

Whenever i see an interesting game, i look at two things:

1. The date the thread was started.
2. Last update date & changelog.

Judging from what im seeing here, this game started out strong with a lot of updates, but slowed down to a crawl in the last two years or so. How close am i on this one?

You'd be both right and wrong. It got updated more often at the beginning, in part because there was some buffered content when they first released it, but mainly because after 0.3 their patrons voted for longer and conclusive updates. So the development cycle is now longer but we get way more content each update than during the first year. Plus this update has been slowed down due to real life reasons like having a baby

Putting the glasses down would actually be the opposite of "leave the old hag out of it" Freudian slip?

 

[zarqupang]

lol i see your point

Add to that the fact that they had a kid last December (and obviously she was pregnant for a while before that), which is also slowing things down more than usual.

Now this is news to me. I knew about the long cycle but was wondering why this one took a lot longer than the others.

Yeah, she was working up until she popped, and has had to take things kind of easy early this year. And of course, each update has more stuff, more complex ideas, and more work over all. That is the thing about this kind of work, the more you do, the more you learn that you can do, and the more you want to do... XD

Pistachio was also hospitalized for a bit with some medical issues in his leg, so it's been a rough dev cycle for both of them.

Yeah.. Patreon game devs have a weird tendency to suffer health issues after they start making a living off it.

Yeah.. Patreon game devs have a weird tendency to suffer health issues after they start making a living off it.

They've had their Patreon up for over 3 years, so they "started making a living off it" quite some time ago.

Not sure how you qualify "giving birth" as a simple "health issue".
It's far more than "health", it's ongoing added responsibility for the life of something which cannot take care of itself.
I think that (alone) is a pretty justifiable reason for it taking longer.

Seems as though you're making the same mistake that has been made multiple times, in this thread.
Applying the bad experiences\behaviours you've seen with other devs, to this dev.
Yet there is no valid reason, or justification to do so.

As much as it pains me, longer updates with proper releases is best. Games that have updates shorter than the time to unzip is frustrating

"Will the MC ever have sex with Kelly (Kevin's wife)?

Kevin is the guard that help Lassie and no, I don't think Lassie will ever have sex with her, that would mean cheating on a real friend and this is a big no no...


Jokes apart, this is a fun and lighthearted game as a general rule, and the only exception will be Waldo ( the gatekeeper, and he deserve it imho), Gretta his wife deserve a better man than him.

Could it be that last update now was really 1 year ago when i started with playing the game? When i joined this game thread i was told this game gets updates more frequent and i was eager to support devs on patreon with next update but it never came yet....thats too less for being a constant supporter maybe only on/off supporter at a release ..game is good and i expect a big update after such a long time.

Here we go again....
They asked their supporters, who voted for slower/longer updates.
Each update gets larger and more complex, so it takes longer to make.
They had a child at the start of this one.

I see...then i ll wait until update gets released on patreon and check how large and complex it gets and donate for the new member a one time support.

I have some feeling like Lady Hammerdick - Simmone's mom - will be next one.
