discussion Abandoned Other Hand Drawn Lost Life [1.52dev] [Happy Lamb Barn]

[ObservantShadow]

likely due to the game apk being too old for the current android versions.
you could try switching on developer options and then checking if third party apk's are allowed, or check other related settings.
see if there's an option to bypass compatibility locks, or an option to allow apk's from unkown sources. etc.

I'm on Android 13 tiramisu
And the 1.52 APK works on it

The current version is 15, with 16 already available as a preview.
It may not be an android version issue. It could just be an issue with their phone's settings.
My instructions were intended as a starting point.

EDIT: I checked the apk. Its minimum version requirement is version 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), and it's intended for version 8 (Oreo).
Meaning there could indeed be compatibility issues OR their OS simply doesn't allow an apk like this.
The apk supports only armeabi-v7a, which is old as hell. Devices using other architectures (e.g., ARM64, x86, or x86_64) likely can't run this apk.
It also unsurprisingly doesn't have a signature. I would say it's possible that newer versions of android *could* block it, even when the user enables installation from unknown sources and bypasses security prompts.

EDIT-2: A possible workaround could be to use an architecture translator, such as Box86 or QEMU.

But check the settings first!

Yeah, I tried editing the XML to expect a newer version of android using AXML editor, so you're likely right that it was just built for an older architecture that the CPUs in my devices have dropped support for. Oh well, maybe when 2.0 comes around they'll have a new android version

is lost life 2 a thing? I saw a 3d game with that name and Im curious

I dont think the 3D thing you saw is official, Lost Life 2 is a thing but its a remake and extension of the original, but its not coming out for a while probably

Lost Life 2.0 is a "future" update, but I have been following HLF for at least 2.5 years now and the progress is dead in the water regarding LL game.
Some people call it "lost cause" game and think it will never get an update.

Thats not even true. There have been several progress reports already, some of them have even been posted here.
Sure, the development is kinda slow, since they are focussing on their Demon Stele and the Dog princess game, but saying that LL is dead is just....not true :S
The 2.0 , and final version, might even actually come out in the 2nd quartal of this year....maybe earlier. Most likely later.

Just because there hasnt been a new version for quite some time that you can leech, doesnt mean its dead. If you actually would have been following HLB, you would know......

Man, at this point a lot of people treat this game as a scam. Too many promises over too big period of time. But who knows, maybe there is someone out there who got tired of waiting and is doing an unofficial remake in Unity? Fixing body proportions along the way? I wonder...

It's not a scam, since they're not monetizing its development at all.
They've been very honest about the delays, which have mostly been down to slow progress with the art and them learning unity.
Their other game makes steady progress, because it has a different artist, but the same problems with unity persist.
They've refrained from making any promises about release dates.

If you'd read back this thread, you'd find my post about their most recent progress update. They're at the stage where they're aiming for a release, rather than adding any new content. Which means development is getting close to being done.

Also, a porn game has ridiculously slow development? Noooo...

I don't need to read this thread, at some point I was even emailing with the dev and I got uncensored version from him, so do not consider yourself some ultimate source of information here. Game was supposed to be finished in 2024.

Oh please do tell me how you were the lead programmer and you knew everybody personally too, and their mothers...

Don't believe me, your problem.

What software is this? Live 2D? Just curious

If I am not mistaken - Unity, however if you need confirmation you will have to wait.

You believe what you want. The other guy whose name start with vczx is responsible for art of this game. HLF is not doing art work for this game. It all depends on vczx doing his part, but from what we learnt in recent years is that he has own problems.
The game has not progressed from 1.52 in years now. It's not my opinion that game is dead, it's the Japanese guys too not believing this game will ever be finished. You can post progress reports all you want, it won't change much.
I know that his 2nd game is in more stable situation and yeah, I have bought both of them to support him. I was in highest supporter tier for a while, because I love his works, so to speak, but dropped out, for now.
I hope we get at least SOMETHING this year. Despite him saying, we will get release of LL 2.0 this year, you can't blame people for being skeptical as he hardly delivered in last few years.

You're right. He started porting his games to Unity from Flash.

No, what I posted was not made by the devs, but yes, it is indeed Unity. Didn't they say they will NOT port LL to Unity?

Had to search deep for this one, he didn't outright deny the possibility.

Q: Are you making a LostLife Unity version?
A: As of right now, no; we don’t have plans for that yet.

I am currently still in the process of learning Unity’s full functionality. Everything such as system, cameras, controls, UI, and data are all so different from what I used to do in Flash; many of these functions are more convenient and more efficient, which is why I have been trying to edit and change the ones I have made from before.

If we are to develop both DogPrincess and LostLife’s Unity Version at the same time, every new discovery will have to be copy- paste to both games, which will make it slower for future de-bugging or edits.

We believe focusing on DogPrincess’s Unity version first will be more progressive for our production; once DogPrincess Unity version is done, we can then use the creations and modules we have build as foundation to speed up any Unity related productions.

Well, if they will do it I don't really care, I trust my friend more who not only port this to unity but also fixes visual bugs and body proportions. He is doing it at the same time as other projects but his aim is to finish it this year. HLB did almost nothing for past few years, and the guy I am talking about found a way to efficiently create 3D model of Tokiko allowing him to easily create as many positions as he wants. Also it will be obviously uncensored.

Why is he doing it? Because he supported the game like me and since he is very talented and knowledgeable he basically said "Fuck it, it takes him years to do few positions, I will do it better on my own".
