VN Ren'Py Where It All Began [S1 Ch.4 Fix 1 Steam] [Oceanlab]

[BobTheDuck]

I do have an account, according to this

You must be registered to see the links

there is no way to do buy it with my account

I do find it when using tor, so i guess i could probably make a new account just for wiab, maybe, which is kinda really annoying but it seems like it would be at least a possibility. Probably couldnt use the app for it but should be able do dl it directly from the site.

I'm not sure what account details are required for GOG - it just has the locale that I can see, maybe you can simply change the locale and use a proxy. I don't think there's anything else I can see that ties you to a location - I don't use a credit card to pay. Once you've got it in your library, you can download the installer anyway.

Or, a friend can gift WiaB to your account perhaps.

This seems to work!

 

[Mortarion]

Damn thats works, awesome, thanks. I never found any avn there until this point but SG is there so i imagine Wiab will be too

SG it shown because it's not adult (18+), I'm also from Germany and I can only see SG.

Now im not sure anymore Is it there already? The link isnt working for me and wiab is not in the shop either, but SG is there Now it looks to me like it wont be on GOG either as its 18+ and season 1 of SG maybe got approved for 16+ on GOG unlike on steam?

Ugh

Oh, you figured it out by yourself.
With a VPN/Proxy you can see 18+ content there, at least the last time I has tried this stuff out. But if you are about to sell something via VPN is knowledge beyond me.

But to be honest, what is the difference between the data SS wants to the other sites? Compared to GoG, Steam or even Patreon? You can argue that Steam/GoG/Patreon accepts paypal, but that's it.

SS works even with a debit card, that's how I use it. At the end of the day you have to pick your poison, You are still trading money for a service, so there's no way around giving away some of sour personal information. And to be honest, I think SS is more capable to manage/protect my data than that warmongering assholes that are now elected as a gov...

And as a little plus, I just found out now that SS is supporting 2FA via OTP Auth app or a passkey, GoG has don it finally also, but only 2FA OTP via auth app but no passkey.

 

[Crashbullet]

yeah im from germany bro, that doesnt work for me (not to mention that avns on steam suck haaaaaaard anyway with only the full chapters ever being updated if ocean does it like most devs)

Ask a Russian online, they've been playing games for 3 years that aren't sold in their region.

 

[Mortarion]

Hmmm...not even a hint of "you guys should maybe start a new save"?

That has to be expected, or better to say, that depends what version will be leaked here first. The steam version or the stuff from SS, both versions will most likely have different save locations. And hand on heart, for 95% of the normal zoners here, copying saves from one directory to another is an insurmountable obstacle.

We will be steam rolled here after the release from pebcak and 1di0t error users ...

I can't - or don't want - even imaging how much the SG thread will suffer after the the next release because of exact this reason.

Yeah well, if i want to pirate it, i can just grab it here

WiAB - Chapter 4 - #XX

Hello,



It's been six business days since I submitted the game, and I haven't heard anything yet. Neither from Steam nor GOG.

Some other small bits of info.

won't be updating the gallery for Chapter 4. I would have to redo it all again with the next update and the new main menu design.

Saves work. None of my testers had any issues.

The new update's playtime is around 4-7 hours (as Reported by testers). I know some 201 IQ lads will finish it in 20 minutes. 4 rp/s (Renders per second.)

The pricing on Steam and GOG will be $9,99 + a 20% launch discount.

I have a backup of the new update so that no matter what happens, I can upload the final version of it.

The reason why I'm even mentioning it is that I have had two bluescreens in the past 3 weeks, and twice my Workstation didn't start.

(I did a sys-scan and it found damaged files and repaired them. I haven't had a bluescreen since but it's only been like 10 days.

Today again, I was forced to restart because of a graphic glitch and it took about five minutes to shutdown, and then hitting the power button didn't do anything. The light didn't switch on, but the insides started up.

About ten minutes later, it sprang to life.

I checked for an error code on the mainboard, but it kept switching around between different codes.

It makes me so anxious.

What doesn't make me anxious is the upcoming release... Finally, man.

Please hurry up Steam and GOGi.

• Ocean

Good news, the changes do not touch variables... I'm still going to start it from scratch.

 

[electronicselect]

I'm not hating on him to be clear. I back L&P who is pretty much doing the same. This is a much better story though. I'd be willing to just read it as I've been getting back into reading. That says something about the game.

So no subcribestar or Patreon, or will they be updated after he gets it on Steam?
usually its the other way around

Wiab has no patreon page, it got nuked. And the subs won't get the chance to leak it before it's available on steam/gog. If I were Ocean, I'd release gog a couple of days after steam, as Ocean getting the game solidly supported on steam gives metrics that can increase the reach of the game on steam.

There is Subscribestar...

It will be on Steam first, it might come out at the same time on SS, but usually Steam will come with extras.

Just will be quicker then with it being on Steam

That had occurred to me also, I'm assuming gog releases make uploads and compression easier.

...and now I'm freaked out that you're no longer Snake. WiaB actually getting a release and you with a new pfp? It's all happening too fast this week!

I can assume that this is the steam trailer? Just asking for the fellow German suffering beings that don't have access to the steam page.

It's the steam teaser. The full cinematic is 30 seconds longer according to discord, which explains the lack of Katie.

GOG is a bit different, since they pride their releases on no matter what you OWN the game. So, with that, you can download an offline installer if GOG ever dies.

Steam and GOG are really no different in the way you get them from Patreon or SS or Itch (whever) besides them being a market release which can be ran on any OS in a single package.

Some games also use Steam DRM which is pretty easy to bypass but there is only a handful of Ren'Py Steam games that deploy DRM.

I think Summers Gone had a bunch of bonus things for Steam if I remember right.

Was this teaser showed on discord? After seeing this here, I have taken a look in the discord but found nothing. At least not in the patreon or announcements channels.

Nah, Ocean mentioned it though - it needed to be uploaded for the steam submission for them to check. There was a little bit of discussion about it.
