Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.05.01] [Aleksey90]
- Thread starter Crazygamer43
- Start date
I was about to share the link to your post in the other thread in here.
This is going to be problematic for many ren'py games with heavy grind going forward.
Thank you for letting us know! I totally believed Aleksey made that choice, so I apologize for that.

I accidentally posted it in the other thread but intended to post it here, d'oh.
If you can read Python code, it's more or less easy to figure out how to hack saves by altering variables from the Ren'py console (which can more or less trivially be re-enabled even when explicitly disabled by game devs), and this won't trigger the protection mechanism because it still will be a clean save, unaltered outside of the game.
Because of that, I don't think the community loses out too much by not being to use Save Edit Online. People can still console-hack and share saves, and it's just an extra yes/no prompt to load these foreign saves.
Unfortunately the security concern is still there, and it's hard to properly fix unless the engine developers completely rework the save/load serialization (not trivial).

so 3 years to get to .02 this means to get to .1 just a tenth of the way there will take 15 years. and it twill take 150 years to get to 1.0

It depends though.
Some games are heavy on the grind, and being able to mark some quests as complete, was quite often a blessing.
The console is not always easy to use though, the save editor really was easy to use
Guess the modders have their work cut out for them, we'll need to be able to edit shit from the games themselves now
I just downoaded and extracted the assets of this to see where its up to, is it really barely started? It looked like there has been practically no progress

I am actually more amazed that you only learned about it now. People have been complaining for over a year.

Well, nothing absolutely official, but ...
Mostly technical reasons, the game was structured too complex (layers and the code for them) and very expensive to maintain, each shot required too much work. Also he didn't like the old renders and wanted create new ones with the new models.
And since the previous version DID actually start as a remake of the original story with some changes, he wasn't really happy with the early content.

How many subscribers did Aleksey90 lose from patreon and boosty after the new update?And remember that he promised the end of the summer to make an update catching up with the last game.Although yes, he did not specify what year the summer was. But still, another promise that he did not fulfill.

Alexey puts a lot of effort into the details and people always complained that he was progressing too slowly, so he had to find a way to make his vision come true without creating another Glamour while increasing productivity. If that played out, we'll see over time.
I personally don't really mind if it's taking a couple of more years if the end product is good. I have no rush.
