Hello everyone!
I'll head right into it in regards to current status.

Karma
Writing
Text will still need to be adjusted when we have the renders.
But overall this is finished.
Coding
The game is ready for renders and Animations to be implemented. Additionally we will add a gallery this time around and some smaller functions like "notification" are missing.
3dArt
This one hurts a bit. Far slower than anticipated.
Despite extensive time spent on characters, they aren't as good as they should be and we still need to put time in there.
We should be able to finish the first playthrough in the next few days. Then we will check what characters are acceptable the way there and what other changes need to be done to make sure the game is as good as it can be.
After that I really hope we pick up speed on this. But I realize that the time we had allocated for this, is already up. So we will work on Winter Warmth on the same time as on Karma.
Winter Warmth needed time to reflect on the changes needed to improve it. That has been done to a large degree. It now can use new renders, which we will start doing from the coming week onward.

Winter Warmth
Writing
We have looked at the complete story so far and how/if it fits with the complete narrative we have. There are several changes and improvements coming.
The prologue gets a complete overhaul. We will start testing and adjusting that in the coming weeks. In short you won't have as long to experience the sandbox. Nor will the office be as much of a side thing. You now get more time with Mina to spend at your work.
This much I am willing to disclose.
Code
As you know we have been using Godot 3.5. I have made a post previously that eventually we'll have to upgrade to get some features.
Much of that upgrade has been done and the game can be started again and some parts played. I expect the game to be fully ported in the following week or two.
This includes gdscript 2, Godot 4.3 (dev) and most importantly for us, dialogic 2.
This gives us a number of benefits going forward.
Godot 4.3
There has been an extension for proper video format support. Meaning less datasize and better image quality for animations,
Better Editor, this might be mostly for our coders to work in comfort.
Improved Multi Threading support.
Improved performance.
Dialogic 2 (You need Godot 4 for this)
Our Tutorial is now possible the way we planned it.
Scroll Back is on their task list (More enhanced than what we were offering)
Different Languages as far easier to support.
Writing to Godot has been simplified (Can copy paste).
And a lot more.
I wanted to make sure that we don't start a big port after we finally hit stable with 0.2.0.
So the big port has to be stable 0.2.0.
3dArt
As mentioned, they were working on Karma. We will continue working on it in the coming week.

General
I haven't given you an update date yet and that won't change. Both Karma and the stable update for Winter Warmth are very important for us.
Karma was planned for an Early Release on Steam in June (At least 3 playthroughs). But end of day, it needs to be what it can be for us to release it.
Winter Warmth has a huge port (almost) behind itself.
However there are a lot of adjustments and features that still need to be implemented and then tested out.
That takes time.

What we will give you to play certainly is when the first playthrough of Karma is ready in our eyes - I assume that will be in May. You can give us feedback then and let us know who you hate, love & what you would change.
As for the Platinum Tier, we apologize that we don't have weekly builds at this point. I'll try to make up for it somehow.

Kind regards
Eon

Translation > instead of progressing with our game we're fucking around with the prologue again and remaking an old game. See you in 6 months for a decent update.

Yeah. I tested it and it worked for me. So must be on your end. Can't guarantee that the uncompressed version works.

...?? okay, just tried downloading the normal, non-compressed version, n that won't even try to open. pc gives me an alert saying an unauthorized application is trying to start, which windows prevents.

so WTF is with this game??!! I've literally downloaded n played over 500 VNs from this site, n others like it, n NEVER had this kinda problem before...n all either version gives me is some ".exe" file, n the application file, but none of the other usual files associated with/included in any other VN I've played...PLEASE HELP!! thx again

No clue but you can tell windows to fuck off. The game is fine.

 

[extreme_sadist]

so is it just those 2 files i mentioned, or are there other files that are supposed 2 come w/them, from the d/l link?

 

[Bob69]

Godot usually comes as exe + pck file (Like my compression). Or only as exe like the official Win version.

Dont worry... I dont use no antivirus since like 20 years back and tell windows defender to fuck off (mine is shut off).... The only thing i use is antispyware....
When a friend leaked an update to me, he just send me the Exe file without anything else.
I know, most of the time you have to unpack shit, but not here.
game is fine and its great...
Enjoy...

 

[ART2024]

A groundhog day.

Yeah, there is a game where MC i fucking Mommy, two sisters and girls and teacher at school repeting the same day....
4 seasons, grew tired after the first season lol
Is Karma any good? I couldnt find it...

Found it.... Played it... Dont remember it at all
Couse WW id great, im gonna check it out again then

 

[zandalari]

Sometimes I'd like to know what the devs are thinking and why they make the choices they do.

We get a devlog saying things are happening. Move to another version of Godot that will finally give them proper video support, enable rollback and you can copy paste to it. All the things that another engine already had that they moved away from. Must be some personal preference that keeps them tied to this thing. Sure, why not.

Then news on Karma which I don't get. There's 3 times as many posts on WW than Karma and just eyeballing it seems that people are way more excited for WW than they ever were for Karma. So naturally we're getting the game no one really asked for. I played it, it was fine. Basically one route unless you really want to braindead antagonist to win. They're adding another one with no hints what it is. Do I want to replay it just to see the new stuff? Ehh. I'd rather get more WW but that's just me. If a lot of players share this sentiment, it might not even be a big injection of funds. They have their side project and main project mixed up.

Guess we'll see where it goes. Good luck regardless.

so in short we are going to have to start a new game again
is anybody keeping count?

Enjoy...

thanks for letting me know; n yeah, everything seems to be running ok. now, about that 'saves' issue; i've already had the game not save my saves 2x now, n been reading up on how to fix this; so has this problem finally been resolved? thx again mate, cheers

 

[extreme_sadist]

Still very early in the game. There is some sexual content, but if the story goes the way I think it will (either Dark or Light routes) there should be plenty. For right now, however, the grind is greater than the sex.

not angry/hating on u, but trying 2 express my vehement level of disagreement w/that statement...being both a porn n pirate site, i'm guessing the vast majority of us here (such as myself) aren't in it for the story/grinding (as evidenced by the countless thousands of posts regarding ppl's hatred of grinding i've seen over the years). GIMME PORN/SEX/FUCKING/LEWDNESS/DEPRAVITY/CARNALITY...i can read a story anytime, anywhere, from any other source

just my 2 cents, take it or leave it; curious 2c how many (if any) ppl agree w/me on this, n take the time 2 like/hate the post; cheers mate

It appears that the team is building a game more nuanced and psychologically accurate than the standard low-brow offering.

(in best Hulk voice imitation): "ME NO LIKE THINKING, THINKING HURTS!! GIVE HULK LOWBROW, GIVE HULK CAVEMAN, SO HULK CAN SMASH PUSSY!! HULK SMASH!!"

I've posted this earlier in the thread....

The location of the save files for this game is not as it is in Ren'Py.

C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\Winter Warmth\saves\parent_slot1\slot_1\definitions.json

Note:
- "parent_slotx" where x is 1 through 5
- "slot_x" where x is number of save...such as 10 or 20 or 30
- probably best to transfer the entire "slot_x" folder with all its contents
---> Probably best not to transfer save files at all for this game. They don't work the same was as Ren'py and there's no rollback (very limited).

I have no clue where the save files are located in MacOS

ok, now my head is starting to legit hurt, approaching headache status (n on my day off no less)...so, bottom line; has the saves issue been resolved or no? b/c i've already tried starting this twice, just to check n see if the saves stick, n after exiting then reloading each time, either the save was gone, or it's there, but with no stats or renamed MC; sooo...?? thx

heh...well, I find this funny and more than a little silly and maybe, in the long run, counterproductive.

All the saves and the gallery options have been encrypted. So no more tweaking, testing, experimenting, etc. This is not the fault of the Godot engine, but solely on the shoulders of the dev. Given previous statements, I'm going out on a limb here and posit that someone may be a bit of a control freak. One the one hand, if this were an A-level multiplayer game with worldwide leader boards and all the attached trappings, I can see the desire to control those who attempt to cheat. But this is not that and one of the reasons folks enjoy this genre of games and the engine on which they are most often created is the ability to tinker. What harm does it do? If it breaks a save then go back to a previous spot and try again. The story is still the story and different routes can easily be explored with no skin off anyone's back.

Maybe things will change in the future, but if it continues to play out like this in marketing terms one is shooting themselves in the foot by creating needless friction in a target audience accustomed to years of playing it their way. So, get ready for some fireworks...and wear some steel-toed boots.

"GoDot"?? "encrypted saves"?? never heard of either of these b4, in my almost 10 years of playing VNs...so u can save, but then gotta pay 2 use/see your own saves? i'm so confused right now n i'm 2 computer stupid/illiterate 2 try n edit/change anything in the save files; why would i? i just wanna play the game, make choices, then be able 2 go back 2 those saves later so i can enjoy replaying them...ffs batman
