Ren'Py Another World [v1.8.3] [Maelstrom]

Important Update.
Hey guys, I have a little bit of news that I feel is pretty important to share.
I’m having to make the incredibly difficult decision to put development of Another World on hold temporarily. Unfortunately, various life changes over the past couple of days have left me in a position where I am unable to commit time to the upkeep and development of the game – at least for the meantime.
It hurts to put a halt on development of something that brings me such joy and relaxation to create – but unfortunately, it’s a step I have to take to ensure that I take care of myself and get my life back on track. I would love to get back to development of the game as soon as it becomes feasible for me – but as of the moment I am unsure as of how long that may take.
Be sure, however, that as soon as I am in a comfortable position to continue, I will. I’ve really enjoyed creating the most recent update for the game, and it’s a shame it’s going to be more delayed than I had initially anticipated. I’d have hoped to be posting a progress report a couple of days back to the supporters regarding the progress – just hit 170,000 words total and was making really fast progress towards the latter half of the update. It’s shaping up to be something that I’m really proud of and I can’t wait to get it out to you guys once that time comes.
Speaking of - I just want to say a massive thank you to those who have supported me over the past 510 days that another World has been released to the public – your support has brought me so much joy throughout this time and made continuing developing the game possible for me. I’ll be temporarily pausing billing for any supporters for this month over on Patreon/Subscribestar – if any payments have already gone through for this month I’ll be sure to fulfil any benefits you have paid for.
Feel free to reach out on the Discord or through Patreon/Subscribestar/Itch for anything – I’m not planning on going anywhere anytime soon. I hope to be able to bring you some more positive news regarding the future of the game when I’m ready to share it

Use the compressed version of 1.8.2 - the only change was a single bugfix for the very end of the game (the endscreen didn't show up)

, but your health is very important!Take your time to relax and enjoy life.
And don't worry about anything because all you fans are waiting till you are ready to continue this amazing game.
I’M BACK, BITCHES!Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
You guys are amazing. I can’t even begin to describe my appreciation for how much love and support has made its way to me over the last few weeks. It’s made the pretty rough time I’ve been going through a little easier to manage when I’ve got all of you guys rooting for me from the sidelines.
As of right now, I can comfortably say that I’m ready to resume development of Another World. I’ll be working on it at a pace that you guys are familiar with by now – and I’m so excited to get stuck back into the development process once again
You'll see me around here, on the

a little more often. I'm going to be posting a Devlog over on the latter two tomorrow for supporters, containing everything I've been up to the last few weeks in regards to development - so be sure to check on that if you're interested!Once again, thank you guys again for your support for the last couple of weeks. I can't wait to show you what I've been working on - it'll all be coming soon

I have been going back and forth on trying this one out. I see the harem tag, which is fine, but I am wondering if it is like so, so, many others, LIL included, where it is really just an excuse to make a KN wrapped in a sandbox. Is this another one where every LI is mandatory as well?
Hey dude! The whole game does centralise around a KN-styled plot, but there will be some optional variance on whether some characters are wholly mandatory or not. By that, I mean that your choices will matter & will play into whether you do interact with some of the LIs, or when within the story you end up interacting with them. However, due to the linear narrative of the overall story, it's doubtful that many of the characters will be wholly avoidable in a sexual manner.
I'm sorry if this isn't exactly the answer you were hoping for! It's more of a choice of time constraints & limitations than anything else - I'd love to make every character fully optional but that would require so much additional dialog & consideration that I can't reasonably accomplish. I really do hope that you give the game a go though

It's cool, you do you. Though I think this one will likely be too kinetic for my liking. It would make the sandbox pretty pointless if 90% of the game has to be on rails anyway. It really limits the player agency in my opinion, which is what you'd expect of a sandbox. Good luck with your game, though.Hey dude!

I'm still working on it. Been a few mishaps and things that have slowed down the usual pace of development, but I'm nearing the end of this upcoming update cycle
If you have no ideas, I can give you whole texts and stories, finished, so you can make them into games, if you are interested.I'm still working on it. Been a few mishaps and things that have slowed down the usual pace of development, but I'm nearing the end of this upcoming update cycle
Thanks for the offer, man! If anything, I've got too many ideas for where to take the game next - that's certainly not what's holding back development for me at all
I am waiting, when you finally wiil continue your game, because I need a compressed version. And do not try to give me links to compressed version of 1.8.2 anymore, please. I will not buy this.
Oh, well, I'm sure they'll release a new version just because you've said that you're waiting!
I have no idea, who are "they". There is just one man, who create this game, and he said, he continue to work on this game.
Heya dude! Thank for being patient with me whilst I'm wrapping up development for the next update!
Just out of curiosity, are there any issues with the compressed 1.8.2 version that's not working for you? The only difference between 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 is a couple of small bugfixes, and is pretty much the newest public version available.
