discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py DAZ Apocalypse [v0.37b-LMAr2] [LEGACYUSER]

[BeowulfKnight]

We are getting off-topic everyone, please keep discussion on this game alone and don't bring in outside things.

 

[BeowulfKnight]

Please either the "@" for the person you are "quoting", and/or use the "quote button", so people will know who you are "quoting", and so will the person that you "quoted".

Just coping, pasting, and putting that in "quotes", does not let us know who you quoted, and the person you quoted will not be "notified", that someone "quoted" them.

So, if they never return here, or if they do return here, but they never actually take the time to "backread", that person will never know that someone "quoted them", or what that person said regarding the "quote".


What???


Well, maybe try a little reading...???

funny thing that, i did. only "changelog" on front page is that the android version has some changes, but nothing about the other versions that were also updated.


not going to go digging for a changelog that should just be in the op.

a huge waste of time... absolutely NOTHING different or new...

I assume he meant the update, rather than the game as a whole.

That said, based on what the others in this thread have said, the new content does not seem to have been in the main story of the game, but rather as part of one of the side stories, thus the "lma-r2" suffix at the end of the game version. So yeah, if you only played this game for the main story and completely ignored all of the side stories - or what LegacyUser called "DLCs" - then yeah, it's likely this final update would have been "nothing different or new" for you, and may have felt like a waste of time. But you also could have spent 2 minutes looking at the posts on the last couple of pages of this thread, as it was mentioned multiple times by multiple people that this was the case.

To everyone wondering or doubting, there is new content in the game you just have to look. It's in the main story when you finish taking the entrance exam.

To see new content, you need to load not the latest save of the main story, but a much earlier one, where there is a fork (the main story or LMA).

Load 2-3 saves from the end and ctrl-skip until you see the menu as in the picture in the post above.

If there's barely any new content between .37a and .37b why is the download size roughly twice as large?

 

[Hilarion]

Page 88 has your answer.

 

[binstinct]

Press M or W on your keyboard while you play and you will get a walkthrough graphic, showing the possible paths you can choose

nothing happens when I press W or M? any idea why the walkthrough graphic is not showing?

Not sure why people are attacking that dude, the changelog SHOULD be in the OP.
If I didn't enter this thread randomly cause I see it's being bumped due to posts, I wouldn't even know it was updated.

Anyway, this game always sucked with wonky and chaotic writing.

 

[Toma666]

Can we hope for a compressed version plz thx in advance.

I believe some of it has to do with image quality, but I can't say for sure since I don't have the 0.37a files anymore to compare to. I wish I could pull up the official changelog, but with the Discord gone, that's not really possible anymore. There wasn't one in the files before I uploaded them. The only things I didn't include with all of the original game files were the screenshots I had taken to keep track of typos and my save files. Also, "barely any new content" is subjective. As it was said in a prior post, about 800 MB/730 images are new content. There are plenty of devs that have updates under 500 images, and I believe this wasn't too many months after 0.37a. Between the Fansly posts related to the game (the ones earlier than 2024 appear to be for something else) and looking at the date modified for many of the files, I want to say the actual release date of 0.37b-LMAr2 was 03/31/24, as I remember I had downloaded it the day of or day after he released it.

Hello, I want to preface my question by saying I did read the last three pages of this thread (from when that kind user shared the latest update).

Can anyone confirm what this new update actually contains? I'm aware it's supposed to be a minor update in one of the DLCs, but how much new content is really there? Is it just the one scene with a girl in the cuck path that another member here posted about?

Additionally, I've seen people mentioning that the prologue now has better quality renders? Is it just an upscale or are there new images/dialogue as well?

Thank you.

It's just a quality increase. It's not even an upscale really, I can barely notice the difference on my 4k monitor. It's pretty much an increase from 90-95% quality compression to lossless for a quadrupling in file size on average, and it's only in the first part of the prologue. This change resulted in about 2 additional GBs in size for Prologue1 alone. Every other segment remained the same size. It might not even have been purposeful; sometimes devs forget which segment/version of a build they use if they have duplicates. Typically in that scenario you'll see a reversion of typos which had been corrected in the past, or an increase in file size that had undergone low-loss or even lossless compression.

LMA has 2 in-game days of content with several sex-events. There will be a menu with a choice of paths, save there and reload to view each path.

 

[notricksanchez69]

Is it worth a replay? Starting over from the beginning? It's been a while since I played.

It is not. It has a couple of days of LMA content that wasn't in 0.37a. Date possibilities with several of the girls, depending on your path and content enabled. As it was said earlier, there are a little over 700 new images. Does it warrant how much the size went up by? Probably not, but there's definitely new content (I'm not 100% sure the option to have Evelyn rape Nelson wasn't available before).

Apparently the game is completely abandoned, because I didn't even find the Discord server at my place today, and about a month ago it was still there

I was referring only to the size increase in the prologue. I already addressed the new content in an earlier post. I shouldn't assume people have read everything I post though, I guess it would have been worth reiterating lol.

It's a bit of a cringe, but despite the much larger overall size, some images in v0.37b-LMAr2 are of poorer quality than in 0.37a.
For example, images/Prologue7 (or pro7.rpa if you don't unrpa) is much better in 0.37a.
