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

[BisonFan02]

Except for the fact that the beta tester can't change the URL for the VN in F95, change the title graphic, change the game status details AND replace the official download links... can they...

No....but the beta tester can sure take the beta copy...modify the scripts....keep the title "as is" or change it to be an alpha copy at release....then proceed to make their own MEGA mirror and leak it to F95 as an official copy. The mods/site would do the rest and nobody would know the wiser....you'd just assume it was a buggy game but it wouldn't be what was released to patrons...and since it is already here and posted, no uploader would go grab it.

Are thy Making a New Update this Year ?

EP22 was already in beta testing which we hoped to conclude in the first week of April, but having some QC issues since yesterday... so it might take a few more days.

Yeah wasting people internet with a 4GB fake update, when some have a cap of 250GB is really crappy thing to do even as a joke. I know a couple people that downloaded it on every download link for both pc and mac that 32GB of there data gone. When the go over the get charge 20 dollar for ever 10GB of data over. would of been better to of made a download link that rick rolled people when they clicked. That would of been more funny for an April fools joke.

April Fool's 2023 is one day closer. You keep giving the mods ideas .
It's funny how they rush to delete posts or even issue warnings if you post memes or dare to mention another game while fairly comparing it to the one the thread's devoted to just to illustrate your opinion. Such an unforgivable crime. But then they see it fit to harm a game's reputation like this, or when they split another game into two threads claiming that Season 2 wasn't the same game but a Prequel (in a time travel game!!!). It's really unbelievable what they'd do without at least apologizing.

Ok, I tell you what, I'll draw it out for you...
You replied to a post, that's you reacting...
You replied by posting a meme, that's you reacting with a meme...
You replied by posting a meme displaying violence (a slap, seems to be this year's flavor), that's you reacting with a meme of violence...

THAT is you actually reacting with violence...

... oh, and as for the jury, the prosecution rests.
View attachment 1737012

The mic drop meme contains destruction of property...
Destruction of property can be considered a violent act...
Did you react with violence to a reaction of violence?
Also, if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, can the
tree sue the forest for neglect?

Music is not a requirement. It is an extra. Does it help some - yes. Does it bother others - yes. Should it be a focus of a VN - No. It is an extra that may or may not help. It varies by person. The focus must be the story and the art first. Music cannot fix a broken story or gloss over poor art. After that, additions such as animations and music can be brought in to improve the product. As long as it adds a positive it is fine. If it detracts or wastes time it is not good. There is no absolute here, which you implied, and it must be measured by the Devs as to the value added and the audience they serve. Would you prefer that each update be extended to add music which may or may not (as you yourself indicate) add value. I think many would disagree and prefer shorter update times. The possibility of Music added as a major clean up at the end of the VN (as acewinz has indicated) is likely to be very acceptable.

Well, I agree with adding music and animation later, that's what I was planning on, but I write a lot of material by inspiration of music and I would love to add the score I had in mind for any VN I worked on. However, I'm concerned about copyright laws and even No Copyright Music have rules on how you can use it. If you know more about this, or a way around, give me a heads up, but as it stands right now, I understand why Devs avoid adding music because of that.

Pick some catchy copyright free tune off the web and then have it loop, add some fake moans and sex sounds and throw in.. that is not atmosphere, that is pain. That is the reason why I turn off sound and music all together. Very few games on this site actually use sounds and music in a good way when it come to atmosphere, add flow to the game etc.

Totally agree so why would it be high on the list of things to do. Stick to the story and art then make additions when appropriate.

Very reasonable IMO. There are a few Devs that have used trademarked items (Example-Nike Swoosh they add to shoes/clothing with PS) or using Rock band Album covers in their art (Van Halen, Springsteen, Led Zeppelin material). I am pretty sure there is a Lawyer out there just salivating over that slam dunk.

I like music in games - of course only if it's well made and implemented properly. For the ones without I also play some random tracks in the background or hope a certain modder takes care of it... Unfortunately I've seen (heard) many poor atempts from devs where you asap mute it, too. Adding good music is probably not that easy as it seems, it should fit the game and also please most.

About that damn april joke: unfortunately I've seen other sites (eg svs) posting that shit still as a "new" release, so be also still prepared for some asking "where the exe is"...

The saying.... Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Come to mind here... Really? You know people that did download it on every link before they did take a couple mins to check out the thread to see what was going on?

 

[Joshua Tree]

Nobody's crying. Folks are just massively disappointment. This site has people from all over the world congregating to download fap material worry free, some with internet caps that I don't even want to imagine having to deal with, others dealing with super low speeds. Wasting someones time while simultaneously harming the reputation of a game developer on some "its just a prank bro" nonsense is simply bad form.

I almost wish I was highschool age, and still found fart jokes funny; then I could probably relate to your edgelord take on this situation.

Oh dear.... download material worry free from a pirate site. Harming the reputation of the developer? but you don't mind steal from the developer?

Read the posts before yours they explain why

 

[DarkDaemonX]

why did you bothered posting at first place?

Spoiler

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I posted something about wanting music and sounds in the game, and you literally replied to me saying that you couldn't care less about music and sounds in a VN, so what was your intention saying that to me, you could have just said it without replying to me, and I wouldn't have said anything, but you decided to specifically say that to me, it wasn't funny, it wasn't going to change my mind or agree with you, so I'm questioning your intention.

Good music shouldn't be top priority in every game, but it should at least be high priority, a good soundtrack elevates the experience when playing a game, if done correctly, a silent game just feels empty, no emotion in it at all.

And this is why I never download anything on April Fools

The developer obviously knows about it being on here, if they didn't want it here, they could report it and get rid of it.

im rarely giving facepalms, yet your whole "escapade" in this thread deserves much more than one...sadly there is no such "a multiple utter shit" reactions yet...so just keep trolling, you surely shall remain with this account for a long time

If someone want to pirate something, it will be pirated, regardless what the creator behind feel about it. Also if a creator could just "report it" and it would be removed from the site, then it would defeat the whole purpose of being a pirate site right?

"Oh dear" nothing. The developer has been posting on this thread getting feedback and helping with exception errors since the beginning, try again.

I'm not trolling, I'm starting to think you're the one doing the trolling here, as you just completely disregard everything I say, and that last thing you said looks a lot like a threat, is that what you do to anyone who doesn't bow down to you, you threaten to get their accounts deleted?
