The Fucking Question Version 2.0 - Coming this August 24

UPDATE:
After that really embarrassing blunder in which I'm the only one to blame... Although, the VN now works flawlessly and with decent framerate even on slower machines after purging nearly 85%-90% of the animations... I decided to push back the release to August 20 to ensure enough testing so I won't have to release patches and have everything in one go... apologies for the delays... I swear this will be worth it

Managed to trim the files down to a comfortable 120MB but a critical error on a really important scene keeps me from releasing this game so until I managed to solve this... The Fucking Question release date is On-Hold... My sincerest apologies... I'm now working double time to find a workaround FIXED!


A detailed description of the problem is in this thread...
http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 49#p216649

In worse case scenario I'll make this a private release which can be requested via email where that particular scene is cut... don't feel like making a public release of a chopped up work... It will be a public release

And the long journey finally ends... with everything in place and 100% complete and tested... I now have an excuse to create a WIP thread and will announce the upcoming release date of...

This coming August 24

EDIT: PFFT!... A tester reported several wrong jumps... now I have to correct them and re-upload the whole thing again... guess I'll push once again by two days... good thing this is reported before I posted in the Complete Games...

Long story short, this is an update of an older work released way back in 2008. It now complies with newer Ren'py code and of course the un-archived version will be available on request.

Anyway, this version had improved higher resolution graphics, resource intensive animation guaranteed to slow down your PC and yes!... better English and this time... I make sure the hidden content is inside...

Anyway... some screenshots to tease you my friends...

I admit I'm looking forward to it.

I think the last Mugen Question influenced a good 500+ words of writing out of me.

I'm liking the way the how-to-create a VN-looking portion is shaping up.

You know the entire board's gonna play this...even if they're shy to admit it...

Honestly, this is probably at the top of my play list. :lol:

I am so looking forward for this XD

My internet connection is crap but I'll go to a cyber cafe to download this if I must.

Playing this game will most likely be on my top ten of "things to do" this month.

I am afraid. So very afraid.

Well, at least it's not directed by Michael B--- I should keep my mouth shut before I give anyone any ideas.

I'm not sure if this question is answered elsewhere. The questions and answers thread looks to be locked.

I think I read that you used to draw with one hand (let's say right hand) and due to circumstances, you had to switch hands and adapt to draw with your left hand?

Was it a situation where you could use your right hand at the consequence of pain?
Do you feel you've reached a similar drawing level as your right hand before?
And roughly how long did it take for you to comfortable with your left draw?

Sorry for bombarding last minutes.

That is indeed correct...
tigerkidde wrote:Was it a situation where you could use your right hand at the consequence of pain?
Let's just say it's missing a few fingers and messed up the articulation of the remaining ones rendering them unusable for drawing...
tigerkidde wrote:Do you feel you've reached a similar drawing level as your right hand before?
Nope... I dare say my former skill level is far better (I used to be a professional storyboard illustrator)...

About 4 years but only made possible via Cintiq since I now can afford to make mistakes in strokes and undo and redo them as many times as I needed.

And now I have some bad news...

It seems there is a possibility that the release will be delayed by a day or two due to a constantly appearing Ren'py "Out of Memory" issue which constantly pops-up on lower end machines and I still have to fix this though I have a guess the 30-40 frame animations have something to do with it so I'm trimming them... but for now here are teasers...
