Yeah, I'm saving my breath. Everyone's so into that Nana-thinger that well, there ain't really much going on in these forums. Sadly, I ain't exactly a game-maker dood, and the other forums are dry. Once everyone's back to their daily routes, hopefully there'll be somethin around for me to blabber about. Maybe once this Nono stuff is done, I could throw out some fat to chew.
It's been a while, folks!
In 5 days already... Hmmm, I need to get working on the web page.
It seems though that with all the Easter going on I can't find free time to actually sit down and play the game (which is already in beta stage) thoroughly, undisturbed, so I can pick out the small things and correct them. This in fact prevents me from releasing it sooner...
Anyway, it looks like the game will have around
- 12 MB packed
- 50-60 MB unpacked
- 1 hour of gameplay
- 2 endings
The downside is, that I think I put in a password that is way too difficult and without it, there's no ending at all. Be warned then, to read carefully and think about all the password hints you'll be given. It will of course seem easy once you have it figured out, but I'm just afraid people will be put off by the difficulty. So I am making a password FAQ as well. The tough guys of course, need not download it ^_^.

I forgot to mention... since I need to have everything done in order to test thoroughly (and assemble), I need to have a final list of people who give me the okay to mention them as NaNoRenO participants I've worked alongside - There is going to be a small statement, a thankyou to all NaNoRenOers, and mentioning:
Grey, Chronoluminaire, Nyna, PyTom and Rio
So if anyone else (NaNoRenO/IntRenAiMo participant) gives me permission to put their names in, please do so. You'll be thanked as "all other participants" in case I don't have your permission. My final deadline is 28.3. 23:59 CET, I need the other days to test, sorry. You don't have to credit me in your game, although you may if you want. Okay, that's all from me.

Concession Speech
Okay, this is a fairly hard announcement, but I think it's one that I should make before people decide on who to credit for their NaNoRenO/IntRenAiMo games.
I will not be releasing a game in conjuction with NaNoRenO or IntRenAiMo.
I was working on a game for a while, but I eventaully dropped it. The problem was I was sick near the start of the -Mo, and so didn't have time to do planning or find the right story. I rushed into writing without proper planning... and didn't get very far.
About a week or two ago, I realized I had a new story I can't not tell. So I decided to drop the -Mo project in favor of that. My sig quote can give an idea of the topic, for the sufficently google-inclined.
Although I've let a few people know privately, I've held off on a public annoucement because I didn't want to discourage people from making their games. I figure at this point, the people who are making their games are unstoppable.
Why do I mention this? Well, I feel kinda uncomfortable being credited in the same breath as the people who actually went the distance and will be releasing new games as part of the -Mo project, when all I did was provide moral and/or technical support.
Anyway, just thought I would get that out in the open, before I get credit I don't deserve.

Well... that's two games out of (how many? 6? 7? more?) officially dead... (Binki's game was deleted by her brother...) let's see what comes out at the end of the month, OK?
(And I'm still gonna try to play them all... even if I don't manage to complete them... And I'm gonna let you guys know about my project and it's status [it's not dead])

even though this wasn't aimed at me, I'm still gonna try to review and comment on them all.Eclipse wrote:lol Once the NoNo stuff is done, you'll have plenty to blab about alright. For one thing, reviews will be in demand. :hint hint:

That's a real pity to hear that, Py'Tom. However, you'll still be getting a whopping big credit in my game, because there's no way I could have done it without Ren'Py. I look forward to seeing your new game!
As for me, although I got a load of writing done yesterday (Good Friday being a bank holiday and thus day off work helps a lot), today I've not been anywhere near as productive script-wise, partly because I've been playing with the technical side of things a bit. I'm still hoping to finish the script writing by the end of tomorrow, though; if I do overrun then Bank Holiday Monday can be when I finish off the main script, as well as the omake. This does leave very little time for integration testing, although since it's in Ren'Py I've been able to do that as I go along.
Just to prove it, here's a couple of screenshots.

No problem. It's the "-paint" commandline option to the mogrify mode of GraphicsMagick. I manually adjusted the brightness and contrast on some of them (and did a bit of rotating, clipping etc), all in The GIMP. But the oil-paint effect (well, that's what they call it) was done with the GraphicsMagick commandline tools, with parameter between -paint 2 and -paint 6 depending on the photo. HTH 
Looking good chrono I'm certainly looking forward to playing it.
My games rate of progress does not look promising for an end-of-March release. Things just keep getting in the way, both in and out of my control. I'm certainly not giving up, but if the first comes and I'm not ready then I won't be putting anything out that day
Back to work. 'Till 11. No excuses(I hope)
Good luck all.

Well, taking PyTom's hint about googling, one site specified it as roughly translating is "Fortune helps those who dare". It goes on to say...
And like chrono said, I'm still giving you props, PyTom.
re mikey>> 50-60MB? One hour of play? Can't wait to play it! ^_^
re Megaman Z>>Actually, that's two out of 15. Must not forget the late-comers. All-in-all, not bad for a first-year event - and a very good turn out considering how many ren'ai developer's we had at the start (about 4-5).
re chrono>> lol I think I'm going to like the main character! XD
Well, back to work... ^____^
Audentes from 'audeo'--to be bold, adventurous, to dare; dentes is a participle, and the ending is the same for both masculine and feminine plural accusative. So it'd be the object of the sentence. Fortuna, fortune. Fortune is in the nominative case--it's the subject of the sentence. Juvat to help, aid, assist, support, benefit.
