VN Ren'Py Where the Heart Is [S1 Rev1] [CheekyGimp]

[opfela]

Ok, so several hours after this "build" was posted here and later exposed as a prank, why is the link still in the OP?

Because the prank is from the mods, and not enough ppl got pranked apparently. They want to see the world burn, before they are satisfied.

The rejection message of my report
"Unfortunately, your recent report has been rejected: Post in thread '[VN] - Where the Heart Is [Ep. 22 Test] [CheekyGimp]' - Happy April First, Fool!"

Are y'all THAT butthurt about being Rick-Rolled? lol, I got hit too, no point denying it :/
I'll wait
Not even found time to complete .21 yet as I've been too busy coughing up what's left of my lungs, goddamned Wuhan Flu got me after hiding for 2 years

I get the impression that people are more annoyed at downloading 4GB of junk then having the mods dismiss the issue instead of easily fixing it. It's not even a good joke that could reasonably justify any of this. It's just dumb.

JFC...
Unbelievable.
I don't know why I'm surprised any more.

do the fucking mods not know that data caps are a real fucking thing?

4 gigs make that 8 because i assumed corrupted download at first because the download tab happened to crash too. great.

Wow! Way to double down on stupid! How dare the Devs be honest with us. How dare they communicate with their audience and pirate customers. Even Pirates are someone's customer. Would you prefer they lie ad nausea. Did you notice they gave patrons a heads up to stop payments since they were beyond the planned delivery date. Hmmmm. Maybe you are ICSTOR in disguise. Sorry, that was a cheap shot.

Wish I was...That dude knows how to make money

To the leaker:
Coming from another country, as I do, we don't get the whole April Fools thing. We think it's kinda dumb.
The irony of the fact that you're costing people money (through lost bandwidth/time) on a pirate site is not lost on anyone.
But yeah ... grow up.

I live in the U.S and I still think that Aprils fools is stupid not kinda stupid just plain stupid. Hopefully the person who leaked it gets caught and kicked off the beta testing team.

Kinda sucks that I was so excited for the new ep. But I'm not mad about it and I'll take the L.

Bitcoin miner and ransomware next?

Maybe the real joke was the moderation team we met along the way.

It's only amusing when the prank is actually well done and not some low-grade comedy skit done by a bunch of elementary schoolers.

Looking at the files in the leak, I highly doubt that anyone from the beta test team had anything to do with it.

These are the files in the leak, and if Cheeky did not suddenly change his style of packaging his files (looking at Ep21), it is not from them.

Considering that it's supposedly a BETA, why would everything be representative of the full release? It doesn't make sense to package those files because they will likely undergo a lot of changes before it hits the public and/or leaked.

I'm more surprised by people's attitudes about it. some words about freedom and pirates. There is just the fact of dirty play behind the back. A kind of betrayal.
If you consider it from the position that the man was not with malicious intent, but simply joking, then all the more it is worth paying attention to the fact that it is not funny at all. As you say "pressure," it simply means to show the person that it is not nice and not a joke at all.
And then it is much more pleasant to see the developers in the thread, which share not only progress, but also emotions, which are with us on the same level, rather than "professionals" who hide everything and then disappear or make a year wallpaper.

A beta should be representative of a full release... you want your testers to find bugs/problems in a version as near as finished as possible. Perhaps if we are talking about an alpha, but not a beta.

Man, when it comes to community involvement, devs are damned if they do and damned if they don't. The last several pages of this thread have been an absolute textbook example. Guy comes in here to explain why a game got a weird upload and what's being done about it, and he's accused of "complaining" and "trolling." Fuck's sake...

I mean I guess that makes sense? But this looks like it's nowhere near completed, so I'd say it falls under Alpha.

Gotta love that changelog though. "Game is better"

 

[dajunk12]

Is a full version coming? I no longer have the last version on my machine to patch.
