discussion VN AI Ren'Py The Seven Seas [v1.3-Preview] [Zeruel]

Cool! The new provider takes you directly to... MEGA>

??? That would be new to me. AFAIK they are not linked by any means. Are you sure there is no link confusion on your side?

after extracting three zipped files... virus/threat was identified... and deleted!!!!!!

ranoz opens a copy and paste link from mega

 

[ZDaGoat]

Buddy, sorry but that is not what's happening when i test these links. It also does not make sense at all. If this is supposed to be funny: Not appreciated.

All links work as intended and the virus threat has to be either a paid antivirus or your OS integrated one launching a false alert

Just finished my play, took a few tries with the 2nd ship minigame, but was able to get both done without the tug.

Hope we get some steamy time with the reception girl later.

Ty for the game Zeruel

There's also the option that superpuma installed a dodgy browser extension that turns all ranoz links for him into links to malware on Mega.

Because I checked the ranoz links as well:
- ranoz links lead to ranoz, not Mega, unsurprisingly.
- when I download the game from the ranoz site they're the exact same as the ones I downloaded from Mega before
- for shits and giggles I compared the common Renpy library files to what they should be, and unsurprisingly they're the exact same as any other Renpy game is shipped with.
- nothing in the actual game code would trigger a positive anti-virus result. I know because I peeked

So if superpuma gets taken to malware on Mega when he clicks on ranoz links, the only real possibility is that he already has malware on his computer intercepting the proper links and showing him malware links instead.

Not leaving a review. Short and simple: Mini game killed it.
It isn't fun, it's a waste of time.
Not going to pull into one more green box just to be told "You bumped into something and blew up the ship." I did not, and I'm not going to bother any further.
Whatever ai art there may be isn't worth it.

 

[ZDaGoat]

Thanks for trying i guess. The minigame is part of the deal. There will be other minigames, some a bit annoying, some more fun, some challenging. I can add more variety to the game over messages, maybe in the future i will even add more precision to the collision detection, but there is not much more i can do here if it puts you off that much and even makes you quit the game even though you can just skip the whole ship minigame part now.

Not everyone is born to be a helmsman.

I don't use any paid antivirus, only Windows' own. The best thing would be to 'abandon ship' if I wanted minigames I would be on a GAMES site, not following VNs...

 

[ZDaGoat]

Why are you now complaining about the minigame? I thought downloading was your unbeatable end boss already.

The larger controls do help but I was hoping for virtual control pads like control sticks on a game controller

 

[TMc4ll1st3r]

I don't even know why the minigame is that big of a deal to the mayority of people, it's not really that hard and also skipable, I think people ask too much of indie devs

 

[superpuma]

How can it be ignored? If it doesn't fulfill its mission, it doesn't move forward. I agree that people end up demanding things from developers, but they offered to do this. For the user, fun is PLAYING; for the developer, it's CREATING and SHARING their skills. Those who don't want criticism shouldn't expose themselves.

 

[ZDaGoat]

Dude you have been smearing my stuff by clamorously bringing up issues that either do not exist or are entirely caused by your own chaotic pested environment. That is just not a nice move.

I get that the ship minigame is not for everyone. But i just want to let you know that it is an integral part of the game. Therefore i am totally open for feedback on how to improve it. Removing it is not on the table. Rather than removing it, i will extend it, add more levels, do whale watching, fishing, dangerous side winds, moving obstacles, wild chases, combat levels and rescue missions and maybe add an end boss level where you fight a giant kraken or a heavily armed pirate cruiser if i feel like it.

Have you tried the Maelstrom? How can you possibly think that i implement something like that and then remove it from the game because you're too lazy to learn the ship controls?

If you want sailor lolis, you have to earn them, landlubber! And if you insist on using the skip button, you will miss the part of the game where the captain pats you on the shoulder in appreciation eventually. And who knows if he is in the right mood to then introduce you to his hot granddaughter...

No one says you can't criticize, the thing is most people just say "This minigame sucks so the game is absolute horse shit", that's not constructive at all, if you don't give constructive criticism the developers can't improve their games, I can criticize you because of the way you comment on this thread.

You said "This mini-game is really A BITCH, A BORING, what's the point in parking the boat? WHERE should I park the boat, on which side? In front or to the right? What a pain."

No real feedback whatsoever, just pure insults, nothing you've said in this game's disscusion has been useful, you've just been crying because you don't like the way this dev wants to develop his game, well guess what, you could've said "I don't like the ship minigame so this game is not for me" and then go away and that would've been good, but you decided it was better to talk shit about it, if you want to be a crybaby that's fully on you but don't expect people to change things just because YOU don't like it cause even with the minigame there's a lot of people like me that love it.

The one thing I would like to ask for is for either explain in the controls panel that the mouse buttons for the side thrusters work by clicking and not holding or change it so it works as a hold mechanic, whatever works best for you but I think in case you keep it as it is to at least show in the controls screen the way it works cause I spent a good 5 mins trying to figure it out, leaving that aside I'm one of the few that love the minigame, I like VNs with a little extra something so I'm really eager to see what you'll do in the future

 

[Davidtoxy]

i not get why so many people complain about the parking boat mini game, in not so hard, myselft i will last like 4 or 5 trys to park and contunie with the game , just use the arrows and the mouse to calibrate

I try to do the mini game because it has an effect on your reputation with the crew. Who represent the ship owners

Just added this little hint. Will be part of the next release.
