Последний Звонок / Last Call [v.0.3.1 Rus / v.0.4 Eng] (2020) (Rus/Eng) [Ren'Py] [Linux] [Android] [Abandoned]

сделать сюжет насыщенным, вроде как проработанным и не пустым, но, драма с родственником ГГ вот вообще не прокатывает, плохо конечно, но не более, диалоги в принципе неплохие, но не цепляют, нет переживания за ГГ, так как лично сложно как-то переживать за этого ГГ, да и другие герои не цепляют, лично мне только повар запомнился, а остальные ну были и были. И да, я всеми руками за музыку в играх, музыка зачастую очень хорошо влияет на атмосферность, где надо грустная, где надо веселая или романтичная, и прямо красота выходит. Но тут, вот не надо, музыка примитивная и никак не соответствует происходящим моментам, вот вообще никак. В общем игра неплохая, но так, пройти полностью стоит после того как она будет завершена, но в памяти особого следа не оставит, и перепроходить тоно не захочется. В общем 8 из 10 и то бонус авторам за попытку сделать что-то оригинальное.

и они закрывают другие ветки (но не всегда). Так же при "правильных" выборах (будьте дружелюбны и не ошибетесь) даются очки, которые хрен пойми на что влияют. Ну пока по крайней мери.

(possibly a beta). Even with the total render count going up, I should be just days away from finishing renders for .3. Then its on to Xor for coding and release as an alpha for testing.
Happy Canada Day to our Canadian patrons, and a happy upcoming July 4 to our American patrons! Next time you hear from us will likely be to announce a release!

Has it really been two weeks since I last did an update? Apparently so. Well, a lot of progress has been made since then. It's been a busy time at Thunderline HQ southern command. Those of you that listened to our Q&A heard about the DAZ improvements I was working on. Those are almost complete (the rest are on pause until after .3 of Last Call is done). I'm already getting huge boosts from those. DAZ is functional and smooth again! I've got a new NAS that I just finished setting up yesterday with all my files. If that is a foreign term to you, it is simply a computer that sits on my network to store and share files. I use it for my DAZ library and some other items. The specifics of the device are super geeky, but all NVMe storage with 10 gigabit ethernet which means very fast read and write speeds, even over the network. :roodrool: And my workstations at home have undergone a few minor improvements, and they seem to be working smoothly, despite Microsoft's attempts with updates. I even had Xor help me name them. There is now an Annie workstation.

Renders are progressing nicely. No major issues found in the first few hundred I've completed. Last Call .3 is going to be larger than I expected. Fun part about doing this is that I always change the amount of renders as I go. I cut several renders, but then ended up adding a TON in another area. You won't see them all on a single playthrough, but I have to render them all the same. The progress image above is something we will likely start doing with these larger releases.
Xor has been putting us to shame with his incredible coding skills. He now has a full program that can parse the script for our game releases and add a lot of the code he needs in mere seconds. It also renames my renders according to the format he wants to use in under a second. Impressive stuff that should save him time in getting an alpha build ready. It wasn't a lengthy process before, but any automation is HUGE in cutting down on errors that might come from manual input.
As far as release for Last Call .3, you all know my reluctance to give that before we are in the very final stages. So much can happen. And in a world with COVID-19, that doesn't just mean system issues or slow progress. But I'm putting in several hours a day on renders, and the script is 100% done. Xor's coding, as it should be, will always be a bit behind my render count, but that makes sense. He needs an entire scene done before he can code, and let me tell you that we have some MASSIVE scenes, (in terms of render counts), with this release.
Before I close, To Be A King is going to be an August release, with any luck. Just depends on how much script work is needed there when I can get to it. Oh, and it is large, at least for my target render counts, so that also comes into play. Until next time, folks. Expect some more previews on here, as I've been doing. Just don't expect me to explain what is going on, as that would ruin the surprise.
