discussion VN Ren'Py DAZ Found in Translation [0.19] [Gadgeteer]

[Gadgeteer]

I spoke with cebs about it. I closed the thread and added the reason. It's not because he's overwhelmed with requests. It's because his job is making him work harder. Also, it looks as though you replied to the wrong person.

Thanks for the info Mr. Tearson!

Hmmm, I will look into creating an official android build as it seems there is a demand for it. I need to find a decent emulator so I can test though. I've used bluestacks some but it seems shady AF Apparently renpy can emulate

Happy to announce that, starting with update 4, Android will be officially supported ? We couldn't find any bugs in initial testing, but if any crop up specific to android

Just updated the Supporter android version to fix the bug with the Main Character's text messages being blank.

Even though I'm making enemies now, I'd obviously prefer them to work on the story rather than the "nonsense" for android.
I will probably never understand how to play this wonderful game on such devices. Even the largest tablet or chromebook are too small for me.
At the moment I'm using a 32" monitor, which is almost too small. I just want to see everything clearly, especially if it's high-resolution pictures.
But thank you for thinking of everyone, because the other way around would also annoy me.
I therefore wish you good health, nimble fingers and a clear head so that you can do your great work.

I know I used the same text on RealLegacyUser.

Auch wenn ich mir jetzt Feinde mache, wäre es mir natürlich lieber, wenn sie an der Story arbeiten und nicht an dem "Unsinn" für android.
Ich werde wohl nie verstehen, wie man auf solchen geräten dieses wundervolle spiel spielen kann. Selbst das größte Taplet oder chromebook sind mir zu klein.
Zur zeit nutze ich einen 32" monitor ,welcher fast schon zu klein ist. Ich möchte eben alles genau sehen, vor allem wenn es hochaulösende bilder sind.
Aber danke, daß sie an alle denken , denn anders herum würde mich auch ärgern.
Deshalb wünsche ich ihnen gute gesundheit, flinke finger und einen klaren kopf, damit sie ihre tolle arbeit machen können.

Why use a small 32" display when you can use ie a 55"+ TV or a projector (and play the game via external box or stick, ie Roku or FireTV, or a native AndroidTV, GoogleTV or jailbroken FireTV)‽
The size argument works both ways, there's more to Android devices than phones and tablets.

((deleted paragraph about how easy or not it is to port to Android and the benefits of dedicated porters' versions (most prominently: more gestures & secondary save files location) - the latter part had merit, the prior stuff was out of line coming from a non-Dev))

Personally, I've switched most Ren'Py games on Android from .apks to regular PC files and play them via JoiPlay (latest beta .apk on their Patreon), that way I can enjoy all the PC mods and versions in the combination I like and all saves end up in one place (and you can copy/sync them to your PC, too; same platform build = no issues im-/exporting saves!). Well, some games just don't want to play nice or have a control UX not compatible to controller/touch inputs so an official or a trusted porter's version will take its place.. or it simply stays PC exclusive, who gives.

We obviously want the creators to spend as much time as possible on their games, but as long as it's not a hassle more options more better (more supported platforms = more players = more potential income & incentives/motivation).


Thank you for FiT and all the updates Gadgeteer, very much appreciated!

I'm lying on my sofa and the monitor is hanging above me. 55" would be exaggerated and beamer is too far away for me. Soon it will be a 40"

Ok if it's that easy.

My final opinion was similar.

But thank you for thinking of everyone, because the other way around would also annoy me.

But what bothers me the most is that in almost every thread someone writes: Android port. No please and no thanks.
Even I know there is an extra thread for Android port requests, even if I don't need it.

Of course I will not dictate to any artist what he/she should do with their games.
Because they all do a great job and I'm always happy to wait as long as it takes.

For FiT, it was easy 'cause my code isn't doing anything fancy. I had to spend maybe an hour troubleshooting an issue with the phone code. In my specific case it was an easy ask- for update 4 at least.

In the future if I introduce something extra that breaks the android port it might just not launch at the same time as PC/MAC. Really though, for FiT I'm trying to keep it as straightforward as possible. I can do something fancy next time. So I figured... what the hell

Ashes on my head. Does it exist in english?
I understood the need for Android ports. If it doesn't cause any major problems, then it's fine.
On the other hand, there is someone (cebs) at LC who does a whole bunch of android ports.

cebs isn't going to be doing it for awhile. It's why I'm testing around in hope that I can do it in his place. I won't be able to be as persistent as he is but will be someone that, at least, tries.

I wish you success and have fun with it.

Daz hair asset clipping. Relatively common. Some Daz devs just edit it out in Photoshop or GIMP or similar, but you can occasionally see it show up in a render or two even in otherwise high-quality games (usually means the dev just missed that one).

Thank You, Gadgeteer!!!

Try as I might, I can't seem to get into the game.
Audrey's a definite no no for me. As for the smols, maybe it's the writing but they don't feel right. I will give it one more update......
