...2...1...wait...
🕑 Added 2024-10-06 13:00:12 +0000 UTCI wish I had better news but this week was just awful. I had two crucial errors while playtesting, and one was just because I am stupid. It is the same bug I encountered last time, which is i did not properly name all my (new) labels (you cannot let your labels start with a number, renpy has a problem with that). But that is just annoying and took a bit of time.
The other error, and sorry but how the fck am I supposed to know this, is you cannot shorten your character with "im".
in code you write define "syb" = "Sybill var'Artre", and also the color, font and everything else. so i only write "syb" in my code and Sybill var'Artre in red gets displayed in the game when she says something :).
Now I defined "im" for Iron Maiden and it turns out you cannot do that because renpy somehow already has defined "im" somewhere else. I believe for resolution or something.
Again, how the fuck am I supposed to know that!? And renpy doesn't tell you what the error is which it usually does. Only the error code above is displayed, don't tell me that execute_python_hidetile = im.Tile should have told me immediatly what I have done wrong :(. Took forever to fix and added to the frustrating week overall...
...I am going to be honest, even without this error I wouldn't have made the deadline for today. I felt tired the whole week about working on day 4 because there is still so much dialog to write, and I don't want to force it and write good dialogue instead but the time is constantly ticking down...then you have a DM about every hour about if and when the game is coming while you are behind your schedule already.
Good news is: Day 4 is still close to completion. But I am not giving any deadline. It can take 5 days from today, but it might take me two weeks.
This is the last patreon post before I release the update. Just have a bit of patience with me
So yeah, sorry about the delay, Day 4 will be worth the wait :)
Have a nice sunday, a good and productive start into the new week and
stay kinky! :)

Omggggg she's my type!

Eagerly waiting! Excited for the Day 4 release
Darktoz
delayed, like mentioned above. it is coming soon, but i still need time to finish the dialog
Jimmy
I got a heart attack when I saw the "moving to the forest, June 2025 delay" version of this post lol. Best of luck and we're excited for the final product! (Especially the futaslider usage in my case)
0011
where is the new version?
Darktoz
damn your deadline pressure sounds way worse than mine :)
Darktoz
thank you :)
Darktoz
you actually will see her on day 4, if you end up in a certain spot :D
Sam T
I doubt we would see Tara on day 4 but I hope we get to see more of her in upcoming updates. Very interested to know what she's up to and what she was cooking on her desk!

Take all the time you need. You're games are worth waiting ๐
Oojah Brouhaha
It's all good brother, I'm a lawyer with ADHD so I'm not about to put deadline pressure on anyone, lol, I know the pain too well!

Yeah. And then you have verify AI's code.. ChatGPT is great replacement for Google for programming, but when it actually writes code... It often makes mistakes or stupid desicions, so you always have to double check and verify. Just yesterday ChatGPT was telling me I can't just use XOR obfuscation with UTF-8 Characters in std::string because "for multi-byte UTF-8 characters, this will corrupt the encoding". But I pointed out that this is nonsense - XOR obfuscation works on byte level, and de-obfuscating would restore the original bytes, so it makes no difference if it's UTF8 or not. And CHatGPT went "oh yeah, you're correct!" - so you can't rely on AI for writing code for you. You have to understand your code 100%.

Good to hear that you don't want to use AI for your art or writing. I really hate all this AI-crap that spreads like the plague. I just can't believe how many people celebrate that crap and even help to spread it.
Darktoz
i have not. i fear that when i go that step i might take other steps as well to ease my work and soon i have chatgpt writing my dialog. and to be fair this was the first time renpy didn't exactly tell me what to do to fix this problem

Have you tried using ChatGPT to verify your code? My buddy does this at his job and he says it's been very helpful for him...
Darktoz
ha! I'd say doing all the domme artwork over the years had an affect on me for sure :D
Darktoz
she is coming for sure :)
Lost Soul
Damn dude you sure you arenโt a dom with the amount of teasing your doing with this update lol XD.
Seiren
The fact that metaphor: refantazio and the latest update to SoB releases around the same time means plenty to look forward to later this week for my wife and me. ๐ I should have the work stuff under control in the next few days. ๐
Ivan Shishkov
"Im" well almost "I am" apparently RM has become dumb. Friend! Let it be slowly, but surely :) The main thing is that Daisy Doll will be coming soon! Yeeeessss! Daisy, Daisy, Daisy!!!
Darktoz
thank you :)
Darktoz
who doesn't ;)
Darktoz
thx, hope you are doing better already
Darktoz
it should work in theory with old saves, but we are only 100% certain once we test it with saves. when you start a new game like you are planning to, you should have no problems
Seiren
I had my share of work-related headaches this week as well, so I understand the need to just take things a bit slower and get it done right. Glad you were able to at least deal with the code and can proceed at your own pace, now that it is behind you. It's always worth the wait and this looks to be the biggest update yet!

Python keywords list has "continue" on it. Oddly the w3Schools site didn't have "im". Or, trial and error works also.

Please, take your time Darktoz! In my case, I have a lot of other things to play or watch, and it's good to have patience in life. I need to start a new game anyway as my save is very old and doesn't have the gallery unlocked and I also need to change the Futa-slider, I think I had it at 85% but there are certain scenes I'd like to see in the femdom version. What can you tell us about the new gallery code? I remember you were worried that it might not work properly when adding new content/chapters. Have a great week!
Frank Kuschmann
Even though I'm the oldest guy here I'm also probably the most patient guy. I only hope I don't die before the sun rises on the 4th day in Blackmore - lol. But joke aside, take your time, Maestro, and don't forget to take a break now and then. Because, you know, I love well written dialogues.

Don't worry we all understand that's not easy, rest well, take the time you need to solve the problems and we are all with you ! Courage !

thank you!
Darktoz
thx :)
Noah
Thanks for the news. Don't hurry. I can wait as long as it takes to get the best female domination game. Can't wait to play day 4.
J
No worries your doing great take the day off I'm sure it will be out soon.
Darktoz
the renaming was not the problem, i just used "ima" instead of "im" for iron maiden and i think i will do 3 letters in the future instead of two. but renpy is usually good at showing you where the error is. not this time, at least not for me and my limited coding knowledge. could have just said "im" is defined twice and i would have known what to do...
gg
In RenPy, im is Image Manipulator tool that either modifies the image or sends it to HTML. User defined variables can start with underscore _ but I think it looks ugly. I would start with x as in xIm but I came from X-Windows world. With a variable like "im" it must be tough to search for. You could put all characters in a structure. c.im.name.first = "Fred";
Darktoz
no. translators get it right after the release, but it isn't released and like i mentioned above, dialog is not finished yet
Darktoz
thx
Manderst
How about the Russian translation? Is it already in progress?
Pancake
Correct decision Darktoz! Take a day off and relax. You earned it!
Darktoz
Reading through it again and have to clarify: This is in no way a knock on people who send me messages. I know you guys waiting for it and I have no problem answering your DMs. And I am only receiving respectful ones, the last really insulting one was actually years ago. So keep up the positivity :)
