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

[VanillaLover]

crackhead mathematics tells me that it'll take about 4 months

If four days added around a total of 8% to the bars, then there is a +2% per day and with 6 to fill that's about 134 days of work

update is gonna finish December 21 probably, pushed four more days for a Christmas theme and additional polishing

is the compressed version on windows made by a dev or made by a fan?

As this is a FREE game and not behind a paywall or something like that, you could have just checked their

You must be registered to see the links

to see if they're offering a compressed version (and yes, they do).

The compressed version is fan-made, though, as well as translations and Android ports. Devs just link them on their official webpage because they are safe.

Are you sure about that? There are two section on the download page. There's the top section with all the official releases (which contains the compressed version as well), and then there's a bottom section with the Android and the translated versions, which are fan made and therefore unofficial -- and this section has a "All links below are unofficial releases" above.

And because the compressed version is in the top part, it counts as an official release.

I stand corrected, then. Totally thought it was fan made

I'm afraid that because of such a long period, many will have high expectations, which are rarely confirmed. Personally, I was already somewhat disappointed with the previous part. That's why I don't expect a masterpiece.

High expectations go hand in hand with long wait times. It makes sense.

The game progressed very well. I want to thank those who contributed. By the way, I have a request.. I want to see Abe and Valdo at work. It can add depth to the game with a dirty way in which they blackmail or use drugs.

 

[kov1974]

I am desperate for an update to this game..

I am desperate for an update to this game..

Still have a few months to go, but we are getting there.

 

[ogapetape]

....and another one for my list.

I don't have to imagine. Quality work takes time.

What a target rich environment we have today.

Blocking people who raise concerns, enjoy your echo chamber I guess...

Here's hoping the Gomira update is worth it. I like to remain positive but there's a difference between being optimisic and plugging your ears to any and all critisism.

When the only criticism is 'waaaaahhhh, milking', yeah, it's healthier to just shut them off. Their 'concern' is not a concern at all

Found some BTS of art being drawn

Weekly report 170
Hi everybody.
I hope you're all doing great! Here's a summary of what we did last week:

Chestnut:
For the first few days of the week she helped me with the testing and the editing and then spent the rest of the period working on cutscenes. We posted a video here showing her work on one of them.

Pistachio:
I did a bunch of editing, posed dialogues, coded in some art and events, and one day, when I just wanted to do something different for a change, I added some sound effects to the event I'm working on. I also fixed a few bugs that were not really game-breaking but which visually messed things up (for example, one of them had to do with sprites; they would move around the screen on roll-back action, and there was an issue with their layered images).

Next week's plan:
I'm going to have a busy week, trying to do only posing and finish the event I'm working on.
Chestnut will continue drawing on cutscenes and sprites.

That's all.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Cheers!

P.S. We're taking this Sunday off because it will be the 11th anniversary of our marriage.

Oh, fuck off. They pole-vault straight to "MILKING! SCAM!" and when it's pointed out that there are people putting in the effort to track progress and verify MN are putting in the work, the update is just enormous, or that crowdfunding patterns make long stretches between updates the absolute worst strategy for milking (as opposed to monthly nano-updates), or that simple arithmetic shows that the numbers they throw out for how long things should take are just being plucked out of their own asses, they go silent or at most facepalm-react. If they were looking to raise concerns, they'd put in the effort to engage in conversation and at least try to come up with coherent counterarguments.

No, what they're doing is plain old virtue signalling. People noticed in threads for games with actual scammy devs that hopping on the bandwagon calling out the scam got likes, so now they're trying to replicate that by jumping into every thread for every game that hasn't had an update in a while to virtue signal about how they're the big-brain boys who are too smart to get suckered by a scammer. Lately I'm even seeing it in threads for games that haven't gotten an update recently because the game is fucking completed and is tagged Completed, but it's been almost eighteen months so they're gleefully gibbering about how it's about to get tagged as abandoned as if that's something that happens automatically at the eighteen-month mark regardless of anything else.

But, sure, we're the ones in the echo chamber.

In terms of art it is prolly one of the best porn games I've ever seen, but damn.... Those updates takes forever.

 

[ArsenHumby]

I mean the last two weeks its only been a 2% increase. If we calculate the last 24% with this time/effort in mind we would need 24 weeks plus the polish one for the next update. Thats 2024 territory, look I'm not gonna critic their work ethic and I'm not gonna complain about full updates ( mostly because normally its a few hours of entertainment) my major concern its simple the fact that their monetary support its going to slowly go down over time. At some point they will have to address this situation. Of course every time an update drops numbers go up but even then I'm not sure about this.

Except that their supporters voted for this. This is what they asked for. It has been roughly 12 months, and they are roughly 80% done.
IF their support wavers, they can make adjustments as they desire. It is not on us to tell them how to do it, especially if we are just enjoying the game for free. Let them worry about their finances, you are not their manager, you don't get a cut, it's not your business.

Can we please go back to talking about the actual game, and not how long the updates take? How 'bout dem tiddies?

 

[whichone]

How 'bout dem tiddies?

Happy to oblige...

 

[RT5X]
