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

[CellStudios]

Oo, someone needs to check the definition of trolling.
If a post is trolling, it is Cheeky, because his complaining of a leaked version, and even trying to start a manhunt is absolutly the defiintion of trolling, for a community that depends on pirating versions.

And in case you missed it, I marked it here for you:

You're missing the point. Cheeky doesn't mind the game being leaked. He just doesn't want it leaked:

a) Before it is ready to be
b) By a trusted member of the team

Because this troll version was released it puts a bad name on the game and people will assosiate this bad leak with the game thinking that the game is bad.

Compressed please

Depending on the size of your test team, it should not be difficult to embed a unique snippet of code somewhere that would identify each test copy. Then, if it leaks you can easily match that code to whom it was given.

You sound guilty...

Of pirating versions? I absolutely am...
not in this case, but that is what I do, and I really do not care about what version of the game it is. If it is playable, I post it.

 

[lcoopah]

Awww man, I had just got comfy and had my tissues and lube all ready.

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!!

Guys! Just purge everyone. The whole update is in raw form out here.
We got coding kiddies around that can bake that RPY in a Ren”py SDK and run it for bugs.
The QC team can still ring in and tell you the faults.
They just do not need to get the next beta. Send them the script. That is it.
Put a filler immage where the trigger would get a scene to show.
They can put one RPA in their SDK and still do their job without actually receiving the scenes.

You're missing the point. I am at peace with the game being pirated. I got over that a few years back. My complaint is that this version isn't even worth pirating (it's a mess) but because we've lost the integrity of our QC team...it will now delay the release. I'll draw you a diagram if it helps!

You sound guilty...

Again. The feedback you can still get. We got the render farmer and the script kiddie around here.

After installation, I cannot find 'exe'.

Maybe there is a hint in the files named "WhereTheGameIs"....

At the end you are still complaining that it is being leaked. The channel and version (at least if it is playable, which this is not, I already checked) does not matter to a pirate site

I understand your reasoning, but to me, this is the wrong platform to do it.
Not that I could even stop you, but just as you had to vent your frustration, I had to vent mine.

Not sure if a troll or just incredibly dumb

All the owners of these butthurt comments should check their calendar

 

[Aristos]

a simple question, why did the moderators in principle publish such a version ?

Maybe they are in on it?

After reading through the last pages I'm sure of 2 things:
- Some beta tester thought it would be fun to leak such an update without even an exe file on April 1st.
- The mods are in on it and contributed to this mistake in good faith.

I don't think the dev team knew anything about this (I hope so) because it indeed may make a bad impression on those downloading it for the first time. This could turn away potential new players unaware of what day it is.
But I also believe it was just a genuine mistake from some beta tester who didn't want to harm the devs, but just thought it would be a funny joke.
In any case, it's a bit sad that someone could be such a fool on April fool's

 

[WuzzyFuzzy]

It's times like these that I am truly amazed at how many peeps don't bother reading even one post...

Any Mac heroes out there with the current version to post??

Exactly, None of us devs had any clue it was happening. It has to be someone on the QC team because the E22.rpy was leaked too which only the QC have access to but the fact they put some shitty in there proves it was a bad joke o.0 I don't think the mods are in on it either

Is this prima aprilis? If so, it is a weak joke because I lost on the 'mega' last transfer.

I think you have missed the point. It was the release of something not ready for prime time. Not even functional, from what is posted here. Like buying a Tesla without the Engine. That would suck wouldn't it? It is not the Pirate site issue it was a trust issue. And some trusted agent was not trustworthy. They have a process to produce their product at an acceptable level of quality. That has now been trashed. It affects not just Cheeky and the team but, all the Patrons and all of us here.

Why is this a bad platform? It actually confirms that Cheeky has no issues with the Pirate site that he honestly engages with us here. It is precisely this action that destroys your entire argument. If you really understood his argument you would not have attempted to conflate his response. We are all frustrated by something. Next time just don't vent on someone that does not deserve it.

If you have not realized how hard they work just to be reasonable and respectable Devs you have not paid attention to the discussion here. I suggest you go over to the 'A Wife and Mother' main thread. You want to talk about raw hate from a dev that is what you will see. And he is 3 months late on delivery from his stated delivery date and just keeps on taking the cash. His current production rate (a game less than half done) will extend over the next 45 years. Yeah, I got a bridge in Brooklyn for you to buy. Just look up Lust and Passions posts. Then compare to the commentary and assistance that acewinz and CHeeky provide here. Literally 180 degrees out.

And it can ruin the experience for those who are waiting for the episode and have a very weak stamina and will just flip through the renders even without the exe-file.

There is lemmings that rush off the cliff... and there is those that stand back and watch the spetacle...

 

[SpecialXSauce]

Hahahaha you maxed out my Mega sync download for today. So funny...

Haven't been paying attention to this thread for awhile now, what happened to the QC team that's slowed things down?

Edit: Now going through the comments for the last several pages and all i can say is, holy shit, purge your QC team of the bad apples before it gets worse.

If they weren't in the loop, they should make it a habit never to allow the publication of TEST game versions (it clearly says Ep 22 TEST in the thread's title right now).
I'm an unrepentant pirate, but even a pirate site like this should know better.
