Akabur Games


Re: Akabur Games

Well that makes the second time I have dragged this page back from 5 pages back. Guess the Russians missed their date by a long ways but hopefully playing the game through 1 time to make sure the are no errors shouldn't take that long.
 
Re: Akabur Games

Directly from the witch trainer mod forum:
Attention: the beta-test of 1.5.2 is started !

Main feature of the 1.5.2 is 100% english translation

Re: Akabur Games

Closed, apparently. I didn't see an official announcement, but elsewhere Khan was saying he wouldn't release the beta because nobody actually wants to test, they just want to play.

Is there anything else new aside from the translation being completed? I can't be bothered going through it again when it's released, if the only change is that I'll be able to understand what Luna is saying when she knocks on the door, or what Daphne is saying when she's constantly being pissy. I'll just wait for 1.6 or 1.5.3 or whatever is next.

OK, thanks.
Is there anything beyond 1.5.2 actually planned? I was thinking that it was the last version?
 
Re: Akabur Games

Wasn't there an English version which should have come out weeks ago according to the russian guy???

I so knew that this wouldn't work :/

Yes, version 1.5.2. It's in a closed beta for now.
 
Re: Akabur Games

The estimate for 1.5.2 was October 11 for release, so it's a week behind at this point, and it just went into closed beta, which should have happened at least two weeks ago. If you want to get your hopes up, figure on a release sometime in the coming week. If you're more pragmatic, assume some show-stopping bug will be found in closed beta, and it'll be closer to November or even early November before the general public sees the game.

Well, Khan has said they mean to expand further on the newsletter, and you'd think they want to finish all the other stuff they left half done or put in as content teasers at best (Luna). If 1.5.2 is the final, that's extremely disappointing. I don't think you can even get Daphne to take off her bra, so her "training" is just a series of conversations about her loosening up a bit.
 
Re: Akabur Games

Eh, either way I look forward to playing - it means I'll understand everything that is going on - even if it means I get to a stopping point /shrug.

Hey, I thought I was the only 1 allowed to make baseless release predictions around here :mad: /joke
 
Re: Akabur Games

Personally, I don't expect to see anything until early November. Also, don't expect a whole new game if you've already played 1.5.1 I guess.

Waits patiently while I fiddle with pero pero every few hours

I was more suggesting ways to manage expectations. If I actually try to make a prediction, it always comes with an implicit Heisenberg disclaimer that the game could have come out while I was making the post, or possibly won't come out before the heat death of the universe.
 
Re: Akabur Games

I appreciate the polished feel those chibi icons contribute to the game, but I really can't get excited about it. If he cut Rose in order to do those things, I don't think the trade-off was worthwhile.

Yeah, he is fiddling with unimportant stuff. I can see him thinking: "I should make a storyline for Rose... jeez, that's going to be a lot of work. Have to write the story... code it, which is going to be an awful challenge... create all those CGs... I am looking at at least a month of hard work here... Maybe I'll postpone it a bit. But I should be working on the game, I can't do nothing and still expect to rake in $12K per month... Let's do some chibis. That's quick and painless, makes the game look better, and I can finish them in a day or two while claiming it took three weeks."

The sleeping chibis I would shelve under the label "feature creep". They are an excuse to not work on the core of the game. Akabur can invest months into them, without PT:G actually progressing. And as long as his paying fans keep venerating him, why wouldn't he use that process?
