H game made in RPG Maker VX Ace by hgg anons. Players control the roguish, little girl Feira through her adventures of misfortune.
▶ No.1255>>1256 >>1265
>>1254 (OP)There's an old blog, but it's dead, and the game has had a title for like 2 months now. A new one will be created at some time or another.
The only thing I'm certain about is that Feira will despair and anguish, because that's the artist's fetish. Well, maybe you can avoid making Feira sad, but her happiness/sadness/mood/sanity/whatever will be a major mechanic.
There's a thorough standing portrait system for Feira, with a lot of the art for it completed. Much of Feira's nude sprites are done as well. Art-wise, the game has had a lot of progress.
A lot of design was planned out too, but I haven't really paid attention to it and with most of the team dead, I'm not sure how much of it still has supporters.
I might just be making stuff up, but I think we're drawing inspiration from VH and D&P. I believe the plan is to seamlessly blend realtime stealth gameplay with turnbased combat. Originally I thought turnbased would be the way to go, but we have enough sprite animations that I think it could even work as an action rpg.
Code-wise, not much has happened, so don't expect anything playable soon.
▶ No.1256
>>1255I haven't done any coding in months because my life sucks, but I did manage to setup a GitLab server. Even at this early stage, this may just be my greatest contribution of all time to the project. Well, no one else on the team has used git before, but they've managed to push simple commits. I'm hoping in the future, other programmers will be able to contribute via git, and we'll be able to have multiple developers work together far more efficiently than in a project like VH.
The other coder in the project has been working regularly. I haven't looked at the code yet, but he's gotten a variable-width bitmap font working. The default font was deemed unsuitable by the artist.

We have a new writer that's pretty active now. We had tons of documentation on game design before, that I hadn't been following. Now there's even more of it. I wonder if the other coder is as clueless as me.
I've been working on standing portraits with the messaging system. The goal is to automate it as much as possible. On the left in the pic is a demo for some script on the internet where 2 characters with standing portraits are talking to each other. The right side is the same thing, but with the system for Feira Quest. Maybe I should make a video sometime.
I plan to slim it down even more. Focus will automatically switch based on the name tag embedded in the message text (don't have name tags yet). We'll also automatically handle initialization and shutdown of the portraits. This would've been simple if it weren't for the fact that a text message followed by a choice/input prompt counts as closing and re-opening the message system. Looks like I'll need to do some tinkering to get the behavior right.
▶ No.1870>>1887
>>1835>Maybe I should make a video sometime.Not going to make one. Seems we'll soon be making a vid or demo to hype up the project a bit and see if we can get anyone else to join. Don't want to steal its thunder.
We've just done interface and graphics work, so don't expect gameplay.
▶ No.1887>>1898
>>1870Seems a video was posted anyway. Guess I misunderstood the plan.
Think I'll work on the chipset system next. We have some animations that go beyond just walking. There are also a ton of layers to handle. I thought there would only be a few, but it looks like EVERY detail from the standing portrait goes into the chipset. For example, you'll be able to see if her right arm is injured. Crazy. Mind-bogglingly crazy.
By the way, anyone have any good ideas for phrases shown at the start and end of fights? Like in fighting games - "Heaven or Hell", etc. When at peace, you move around in real time, but when hostiles appear, we'll show a transition effect and switch into turn based combat mode.

Here's our dialog file specification so far:
## Comments
# If the very first character of a line is "#", it is a comment and ignored by the code.
## Blocks
# The first non-comment, non-blank line is for the block id.
# The id (and directory path) is what will be manually entered into RPG Maker.
# Lines that follow make up the block's boxes.
# An empty line ends the block.
## Boxes
# Each box gets its own line under the block id.
# If the line starts with a non-whitespace sequence followed by a colon, it sets the nametag.
# Nametags can't have colons.
# An underscore in a nametag gets converted into a space.
# One space following the nametag colon is ignored.
## Example

Going to try getting a demo out asap. I'd like to see it within a week, but we'll have to see how it works with the rest of the team.
You'll just be able to dress Feira up with equipment. Probably talk to people too.

Demonstration of switching into turn based mode when in combat.
Combat-wise, I'd like to just do one hit KOs for the first demo, but I wonder if the others will let me get away with that. They be asking for stuff like dynamic lighting, no joke.

Yay for delays. We keep tightening the leash, but it keeps slipping away. Currently waiting for the next time timezones align. Doesn't help that I spent an entire day going autistic on maps. Doesn't help that the irc server was down during the only time slot the other dev ever shows up. I think he has a critical piece he needs to finish, so I'm kind of worried we'll have to wait another 24 hours before finding out its progress.
On the bright side, the demo has a lot more features and polish than what I envisioned we'd have when we started this rush a week ago. Don't get too excited though. There's nothing to fap to, and you'll probably be bored after messing around in it for 15 minutes.

Patreon page:
https://www.patreon.com/user?u=581305This explains the delays in getting the demo out. I wanted the patreon up asap, and figured the demo could always be improved upon. The others wanted a good first impression. The release comes later than I wanted, but far sooner than the others ever planned.
Some background on the patreon. I'm in a rough spot in life, that might've had me leaving the project. I never really viewed the project as my own, so never suggested we take money for it. However, I was at the end of my rope and the project was just about to turn half a year old. In those 6 months, no other hgg anons survived contributing for free (the new writer we had for one month aside). It's understandable. I myself have other projects I work on and my contributions to this one had been pretty minimal.
So in desperation I decided to sell my soul to the adult industry. Thankfully, chink was ok with starting a patreon. I'm going to dedicate myself to the project for a few months to see if it can keep me alive until my life's in better shape. Ideally, I could make a living off this, but I probably shouldn't bet on it.
Though you guys will probably hate it, the game wouldn't have been playable for a long time under the old pace. We spent the past 2-3 weeks kicking it up a notch in preparation for this.

▶ No.2846>>2849
>>2841Other ways of making money off Feira Quest? Patreon seemed like the best way to have stable earnings. I haven't read through the whole threads yet, but maybe it's not clear that we're doing a frequent, iterative release cycle to match. Kickstarter-like campaigns didn't seem like a good choice for the scope of the game; we'd probably get just as much hate asking for a huge funding goal. People are already mocking the 4k goal.
Thing is, my asking price is a lot higher. We'll have to wait for a few more releases to see if I can prove it's worth it. For reasons I only mentioned in passing, the decision to go down this route was rather last minute: we put something together in half a month (>>2427).
I'd say give it some time before declaring it a scam. Just because some projects didn't turn out well doesn't mean all will.

4000 is a bit high, but it's not quite inconceivable since Breeding Season's getting 27,000 a month. Still, the average for a game is probably more or less a few hundred. You need a lot of coverage for this to work.

Thank you to all of our patrons who believe Feira Quest is worthy of support, and to those excited for the game. We appreciate the warm comments.
However, the majority of our audience has expressed their sincere displeasure with Feira Quest, and we fell short of meeting our support goals. It's our fault, and we're sorry. To show our resolve and commitment in making a successful game loved by all, we went back to the drawing board to redesign the game.
Here's a gameplay video demonstrating the transformation. We expect everyone to be pleased by the results.

We stopped billing and programming's been on hiatus. Maybe some other time I'll detail the terrible events that led me to try making a living off doing porn on patreon, but for now the good news is that I finally got a job. The bad news is 12 hour work days. I think by summer my situation should be improved, but I'd like to start making progress before then.
We vowed to not bill again until we've surpassed the 0.8 release. That's going to take a while, so no patreon rewards for awhile too. We planned to retire our $50 tier as well; which I think we stated awhile back, and that there'd be just one more. Though at the time we didn't expect it to be delayed.
Are any of our past $50 contributors here? The previous guy handling the reward has been long gone. We've lost the correspondences since then when our latest email provider kicked the bucket. I believe at least one winner never got in touch with us as well. So, it's a mess that I feel bad about for not cleaning it up.
Chink's last commit was 20 days ago. Now that I look at it, he's done some cool stuff the past few months. I've always left it to him to post about his stuff though. I've been too busy and had to quit reading 4chan /hgg/s, so I don't know if anything ever got posted there or not.
Now for programming talk, if anyone cares.
I actually did do a bit of work last night - looking at Javascript build tools. I decided to give Broccoli a shot, and fallback to Gulp if needed. At this stage, I've just been focusing on how to structure the project. Under VXA, we kept 2 separate git repositories: one for code and one for binary assets (which also ended up being a scratch pad of sorts). We're going to keep this separation, but I think we're going to need to do more asset processing.
This is just theoretical so far, but I think we'll need to blow up our 32px tiles to 48px for use in the editor, but switch those back to 32px assets during the build process. That way we can keep the smaller file size and chink won't cry about the pixels being off. I've also had ideas about programmatically building our sprite sheets so that they wouldn't be so huge (massive memory killer in VXA) and wouldn't take forever for chink to build by hand. That was and still is a very low priority, but I'm just giving examples of why I wanted a more capable build process.
Another area I need to give thought to is how to integrate assets into the build process while still keeping them in a separate repository. I'm aware there are ways, but I haven't tried them myself, and I worry about it being too complex in a project with non-technical people and language barriers.

MV has everything past engines had, with less restrictions and now based on Javascript. You can still make games at the same pixel density as Ace if you want, just use a script to change the engine from 42px sprites to 32px(?) sprites. Also, there is no set res anymore. You can make the resolution of your game configurable, or set one yourself.

I don't mind being frank about what's going on, but the patreon is under chink's complete control, for better or worse, and I just never suggested that he post something. Our forum threads are dead, and we didn't feel a need to bump them until we had more content. I suppose not updating the op was a shortcoming.

I think chink's been doing stuff, so maybe there'll be an update post.
As for demos, it'll probably take months till we have something playable. So end of the year? It's hard to estimate at this point until I get into a regular schedule.
Here's some more detail about the work that awaited us in VX Ace, which might be useful to anyone wanting to do cool stuff in VXA instead of MV for whatever reason. We had a problem with Feira not being able to see far enough vertically due to the limited resolution: you can't tell when guards above you spot you (which is why they have such short detection range in the demo). Increasing the resolution past VXA's limits killed the framerate.
The culprit is the map renderer - disable it, and you're back at 60fps. The map renderer is one of several of VXA's black boxes that you can't mod, and it's likely you can't write a better replacement in Ruby (giving enterbrain's competency some benefit of doubt). While I hear lots of people overstating RPGM's limitations, the map renderer legitimately is one.
During the course of my constant searching for ways to bend VXA to my will, I finally came across the silver bullet:
https://dekitarpg.wordpress.com/2014/11/23/extending-rgss-ruby-with-c/
In short, this allows you to mix C code into your Ruby. I had a hunch that by splitting a map up into smaller regions, parallely rendering on demand each region to a bitmap using threads, and caching whatever you can, you could definately write a more performant map renderer. I think there's a script for rendering map files to image files; you could copy much of the rendering process from there. The part that would need researching would be getting data into VXA's bitmap objects. Do you have to use the public interface, or could you get a pointer into memory?
Rather than do all that work, we just decided to port to MV instead.

That was posted by the artist, chink. The team being mostly dead isn't news. I think they've been dead for around a year now. AFIAK, it's just been me and chink. I don't know why the writers left, but it did so happen to be the fact that we weren't in a position to give them lots of work that could be realized in-game.
I signed up saying I wouldn't write someone else's whole game for him. When I was desperate, I was willing to take that role for patreon bucks, but they never rolled in, and the demo updates stopped when I got a job and didn't have time anymore. The lack of progress frustrated chink as well; he's always ready to work on his game, and nothing can be blamed on chink being lazy. The graphical assets should already speak for themselves to the volume of work chink has put in.
A few months ago, I told chink I'd continue work by writing my own engine. I wanted to do that for my own projects, and with my lack of time, I'd rather be killing two birds with one stone even if it meant significant delays in Feira Quest progress. Chink decided he'd just continue from the old code base on his own.
Except however, I'm still helping him out, coaching and correcting his coding. I thought he was going to have to scale back on the custom systems, but he's still chasing his ambitions. Thus I'm stuck spending 5-8 hours a week helping chink wrap spaghetti code around our necks instead of doing my engine work.
I was surprised to hear he's starting the monthly patreon again. He already told me he can't do monthly demo releases. Seems with the rebranding, the patreon is going to be subsidized with art stuff.
I've sort of been saving the stories of the near death experiences this project has had until the game makes it big. I think it'd be amusing to reflect, "wow, this masterpiece almost never existed." Of course, there's still a long way to go to that point.

OP here. Haven't heard from chink in close to 3 months. I think he abandoned me. As far as I recall, the only dissatisfaction he ever expressed was over the lack of progress.
Shortly before I last saw him, he did discuss his plans with me. Since I'm probably no longer with him, I don't think I'm at liberty to report those plans, and since they didn't included leaving me, I'm not even sure they were accurate.
One thing I did bring up to chink was refunds. I said I'd be willing to personally cover them fully, but chink insisted we weren't that dead yet. Now that I'm out of contact with chink and don't know what the project status is, I don't think it'd be appropriate for me to cold call chink's patreon list offering refunds.
However, I think I can get away with extending a refund offer to my fellow 8chan readers, who have had access to my perspective in this thread. Note that this doesn't confirm feira's dead or that I'm never working on it again. Though the amount of money I received was small, it was all I had for grocery shopping at a time when I was in great need. Now I'm in much better shape and can return that money, even if the project happens to come back to life nullifying the need for a refund.
Send me a bitcoin address. You could email me at feira[swirly symbol]waifu[dot]club using your patreon email, or some other email with the patreon email in the body. Censoring most of the patreon email with underscores will be fine too; you could even post it in this thread that way. If you do email it, possibly bump this thread to notify me to check for it.
I'll refund the lifetime contribution amount as of the beginning of 2015-10 at a $ to BTC rate on BTC-e.

If you ask me patreon is better for artist and people that actually give stuff each month, art music, and stuff that make the money worth, usually games start good but trend to get into a confort zone and get minimal updates, and the classic "poblems", like hard drive failures, sickness, or plain and honest lazynes, but of course the patrons still pay those months

The reason this is becoming the norm is because the majority of players are not willing to pay for porn.
So instead you go straight to the "whales", give them exactly what they want and get all the money you need from them.
Patreon really is better if people treat their pledges as "donations" instead of "payments", though. That's what it was made to be, anyway.

Not like the RPG maker code is encrypted in any way. I haven't heard of chink officially calling it dead, so until then, there's no reason to think he'd just give away the art. I haven't seen him in half a year, so you'll have to track him down yourself to find out for sure.
>>78220
The fact that so many people want to paint it as a scam didn't help.
>Feira Quest released nothing but paid concept demos before switching to the monthly payments.
What does that even mean? It was always monthly, with monthly releases, and when we stopped releasing, we stopped charging. For anyone who felt shafted they supported a project that stalled and might even be dead, I'm offering refunds despite not all of the money even going to me.
In order to make a game, someone's going to have to make an investment. In the case of Feira Quest's code, I wasn't in a position to make such an investment. Some people have the misfortune of having to play catch up climbing out of the hole they were born in. I try to avoid talking about it, but sometimes I hint at it thinking someone might get a good laugh at my misery ( >>4714).
Oh, an update: the bike belongs to me now since Christmas. It's rusty though.
So yeah, the programming wasn't going to happen without someone else to shoulder the cost. Hence patreon, but it didn't gain enough support quickly enough. So all the patreon haters must be glad we stopped using it and stopped working on the game.
For the people who did support it and wanted it to succeed, you have my thanks, and I wholeheartedly wish to refund you: >>63126.

Chink? Haven't seen anything new from him in years (though I haven't actively searched)

Could a mod just close this thread? The game is dead and so is everything remotely related to it.

From prior experience, we're really not supposed to bumplock threads to my knowledge. It's the holidays so things are a little wonky right now. We'll look into it but there might not be a proper response until January.

You can just archive the thread so anyone can see it was a mediocre, even shitty game with good art.

Fuck you all. Checking back on this thread I thought Chink had come back to life and the game was coming again so people were discussing.
I miss you Chink ;_;
