discussion VN KN Ren'Py DAZ The Five Star Stories [v0.9.0] [Narrator Studios]

[The Narrator]

Interesting novel, the girls are quite good, the only issue is the step-crap and the fact that even if you change the name they still call you the default name, hopefully will get better.

I will take a look to see what the problem is.

Very good game

 

[QUIQUEPEREZ]

It is a great game

 

[Bollagus]

Really like this one, but a few hickups along the way, and need a walkthrough. I changed MC name. but was called Jack several times.

To many errors to play. I'll re-download at a later date with the proper patch and fixes.

Your unpatched game contains a patch.rpa. Your downloadable patch contains patch.rpy and patch.rpyc. Usually, applying a patch overwrites any files with the same names that are already there, but that doesn't happen if they have different extensions, so they all try to coexist, which causes confusion.

That's not how Ren'Py works.

RPY files = base Ren'Py code files. Human-readable Ren'Py and python code.
RPYC files = compiled Ren'Py code files. What the game actually uses for run-time. These are recompiled every time the game is launched, if the base RPY files exist and have changed.
RPA files = archived RPYC and/or RPY code files. That's all.

The above is definitely true. Now for the part I am fairly sure of, but not 100% certain: If a file exists as both an RPY (or RPYC) and inside an RPA (as an RPY and/or RPYC), they can co-exist just fine, but only the newer file is compiled into an RPYC. This means most patches can work on top of RPAs without any difficulty whatsoever, provided the patch files are newer than the archived files they are replacing inside the RPA.

There are tons of games where the files are in RPAs, and the patch is distributed as just RPY or RPY+RPYC files, and those work just fine. Again, it's because the patch's files are newer, and thus override the existing files inside the RPAs (which is different from overwriting an existing file with a new file of the same name; the older files inside the RPAs continue to exist, but because there is an overriding file, they're just not compiled into the game at run-time).

Now, to complicate all of this: once all those files are loaded, no two different files (or no two different places within the same file) are allowed to have the same label (what Ren'Py uses to mark a specific named spot in the code to call or to jump to), no matter what the file dates/extensions/names are.

Guys, as you may or may not have noticed, Patreon closed my account and I just lost everything.
I don't want to hear I told you so, because I couldn't do shit against it, Subscribe star is still under review after 8 months.
My only account is on Boosty, but I don't know who will support me there. So in a word, I'm screwed!
I don't know what to do now, but for sure I will come back with a decision after my sadness passes.

If you guys were a subscriber to narrator on patreon for sure try looking into making a boosty account or a itch.io one and look for the game and help out that way and show some love and support to them

Do you have a Twitter or other social media account? Put a link to your subscribe star page in the bio/profile/whatever. Email ADULT subscribe star support (support@subscribestar.adult) with links for those accounts. Subscribe star is split into adult and non-adult so emails to general support will go nowhere.

Basically, they want to confirm who you before approving the page. Some devs even had to email a screenshot of one their characters with the dev's logo on them as some kind of proof it is the actual dev making the account and not someone stealing their work.

Game is good for a quick wank. Models are getting progressively better which is nice to see. The updates feel small tho.

I've added the Twitter account on SS and today I sent them an email to ask if they can open my page. But still, it's hard to regain what I lost on Patreon.
Right now I don't really know what to do. 8 months of hard work down the trash.

Models are great, but action happens too soon. No corruption process.

 

[vagmesh]

finally got my member+ and so happy to play this

Man that always sucks was it because of the content, or did someone report your game?

Hope it works out for you and you ultimately decide whats best for you.

Download the game from his Boosty page, that one has everything included and enabled.

Good game, but still wait for a patch that is working
