0.6 Development Update 49

Hey, folks!

Here's me doing my best to get back to more regular dev updates, just as promised.

Got back from my travels last week. Had to go back to Russia to tie up the rest of loose ends, and now they should finally all be tied. Got to see my parents as well for the first time in nearly a year at the same time. Managed to catch a minor flu upon my return, but I've fully recovered and back to work.

The Early Access version of A House in the Rift is just around the corner, expected to release in a few days, most likely over the weekend. The last of Rae's story arc events is going to be in it. Temporary workstation situation was not ideal, and even though the rest of the team were all working hard, I couldn't finish everything in time for the Beta release.

Next update is in the works, and the Alpha build should be coming in about two weeks. Four events are already in, and we're going to do a slight rework of Lyriel's repeatable sex scenes. Her latest scene revealed some serious deficiencies in the supporting scripts, gotta fix that. Oh, oh, and you'll get to see not one, not two, but three girls get new looks for this one!

And to add to that, we'll be revisiting the big city with one of our girls. She's going to be really excited about, well, everything!

Now to more techy stuff. There's been a new RenPy release, and it should finally be compatible with AHITR. I'm going to dig into it after the next update is out, and hopefully there won't be any major issues. Should the upgrade go smoothly, I'm hoping to get rid of at least some long-standing bugs like animations not looping, triggers going missing from lists, etc. After that I'll get to building the alternative Android package I promised y'all. Fingers crossed, we'll get the hi-res versions back on your devices this Summer!

Oh, and talking about that time of year, a Summer Special Something is almost done, stay tuned for the announcement!

See you soon!

I can understand the need/desire to keep old software running on modern machines, but VMs are much easier to run nowadays. You're really cutting off your nose to spite your face continuing to run a 32bit OS of any kind today, especially on anything with internet access. You're far more vulnerable to malware on older OSs.

I would like to see the girls be more forthcoming about their desire for sex with MC and initiate the proceedings. it's nice that the girls are receptive to MC's advances but it feels more reciprocal when the girls ask for a roll in the hay as well. I'm just throwing that out there. still loving the story, BTW.

I have an old but much-valued application that won't run under 64-bit Windows. One possibility would be to run a 32-bit Windows VM under 64-bit Windows, but that would introduce extra complexity that I've been reluctant to deal with.

We've seen Cait like that before, but she's doing it in the game now? Nice. And I'm not sure who that is in the city, her silhouette doesn't really match any of the girls that well.

Thank you for the update

Out of curiosity, why are you still on 32bit? 64bit processors have been a thing since Vista and there was no reason I know to not go 64.

glad you're doing okay. take the time you need to hammer everything out with the game's scripts and art.

Anthony Docimo

That all sounds good, except that I'm guessing that the new RenPy release won't support 32-bit Windows. Hopefully I can get around that by simply copying the latest game folder across into an older build of the game, or if that doesn't work then recompiling the game myself using an older version of Renpy. If all else fails, I can always switch to playing the game on my Android tablet, though I might have to replay the game from the start if I can't work out how to port a save across from PC to tablet.
