It's a valid opinion to have and yet from checks they all had a very similar facial basis, what made them more "unique" was their character and clothing emphasing their personnality.
It's mostly a cosmetic choice to make them pop a bit more in their setting as I am taking a step back from full on Fantasy to something more urban
The game isn't dead yet, but it's clearly on a large hiatus, I don't have much to communicate about it just yet, though know that I updating my usual work tools to resume work within the first trimester of 2026!
I'll make a more detailed post before March to explain everything.
Hey, I'm still around, I'm sorry for not posting much, I just don't have that much I can really talk about as most of the things happening to me are just part of my personnal life
I understand your worry but I don't ask money, I'm awful at accepting gifts, and I don't like leaving the impression that I only do things out of greed.
My patreon is still up because my current income is low, too low to do much in life actually, though it is low because I REALLY slowed down my workflow.
My point being that I never hid the fact that I want to work on something I know I feel passionate about, and passion about anything in my life right now and over the last 3 years has been on very short supply, hence why updates take too long, I don't want to rely on AI to pump me a script out and to do the render posing for me, hence why the game is in this state of bubble, waiting to continue but not sure where to go.
What I can safely say is that, it can take 2 weeks like it can take 5 years, my games will get their full story and get the ending I want for them.
The only time I put a "paywall" is on Betas which are on Itch.io and Patreon, but the game itself here is free, which isn't even available for any other project than Project: Jericho
For now just press "Ignore", it's just the game being unable to display a "fade" effect, a Ren'py update changed the way this is processed hence why it's now an issue!
Press "Ignore" the issue is due to "fade" 's effect changing with a Ren'py update, but spamming "Ignore" allows you to just pass the few times this happens
I'm just in the middle of many changes, I'm also mentally preparing the next update as a lot of things need to evolve / change to fit my new vision, which if everything goes as plan, should be and take this with a grain of salt, in winter.
Thanks a lot for the very complete critic, I'm in a very slow part of development.
And EVERY comment is read, all of them.
I will take in account everything said here for the future of the game and the potential rework of chapter 1, as I agree that it's WAY too fast and that it lacks in proper development.
I am very humbled to have my work placed that high, thanks again for your word of advice and I wish you a fine day / night depending on where you're located!
My IRL life kinda took the step over my projects for now, thankfully I should finally move in a more "stable" workflow down the line, I'll come out with proper news soon!
I could totally get a new passport, grab a plane ticket, find a comfy appartment and live there, but I'm not really too fond of well southern countries, not because of the culture but because of the climate, I like cold place, and I'm attached to Europe as a land honestly.
I do want to ditch France at one point, but I don't feel like I'm ready
I didn't, I know that some people worked on a mod but, afaik a few players got a few gallery issues with it, and Idk if it got updated, not that it really needs updating, most endings will be accessible and only karma will influence it
Eh, technically all you need to do is modify every line in script containing the error it isn't really hard as it only requires to remove a few words from it.
But considering the error happens a few times at the beginning and then stops, you can just press "Ignore" everytime it pops up
Oh I just found where the issue lies, it's basically an issue with Ren'py being updated over the years, code that used to go through the net's holes no longer pass, so I had to adjust the code, thanks for the report!
Please don't apologize, you guys, by that I mean my community is amazing, I wouldn't be able to find a better crowd, memelords, shortstacks enjoyers and overall nice folk, it's basically lucid Paranoïa from me haha, I know that it holds no basis, but perhaps you may know that feeling if you're creating something for an audience but the feeling to always have to please, to do better is a heavy one and one that I'll never shed off, it does keep me grounded to feel bad about taking a lot of time!
And I appreciate the kind comments I really do, I began working because I wanted people to find something nice to make them feel a bit of joy, a bit of sadness sometimes anger but y'know, to feel something and if I hit the mark, then I'm happy that I hit my mark!
