The version he "sells" is just the same but with a couple of cheats enabled. Mind you, selling "cheats" in a Sugarcube game is kind of stupid when you can just enable all that in your browser console, but I guess it's something.

Just a heads-up, if a Renpy game is distributed without the the source .rpy-files - it's fairly trivial decompiling the .rpyc to mostly recreate them.
Look up Unren on this very forum.

Supporting a product that has gone nowhere after the first year of developpement. I understand the difference, but there is still a "buying" aspect when you are presenting a product.
If people are happy throwing money onto a wishing well, that's just what they want to do with their money. They're (thankfully) not being coerced or anything like that. Yeah it's not a lot of value for their money (it's hardly any value) but if it makes them happy, whatever. If they're happy buying a three wheeled car and supporting the engineer's struggles to add the fourth wheel, well, we can't really say much about it.

Unfortunately, trust over a project like this is not earned back once it's lost. Ie : The "soon" meme won't be over anytime soon, even when soon actually mean "soon" again.
Though if you *do* want to throw your money into the wishing well for another 6 month and then be like "Yeah, I was right all along, the game is finally getting updated again", feel free. After all, I'll be playing the game when it gets significantly updated again, I guess I'm just really sad and angry to myself for believing that Crush was a nice guy -Spoilers; he's not, otherwise he'd have been more honest with himself and the patrons wayyyyy earlier in this mess.

You are exactly right, some solid content updates will turn this back into a positive thread of game suggestions and praise. Negativity will be forgotten unless history repeats itself. That is human nature.
But the solid updates will have to be published to change opinions on this site, with the current focus on cutting existing content and code updates of other existing content, solid updates are not likley in the short term.
Whole Dubai scene is being cut according to the last post. I don't think it was ever completed.
Now I agree with a lot of the cuts being carried out, I just don't expect any major content updates this year. Now Crush is very good at status updates, and interacting with the community.
True that's why it's actually a good idea to tag the thread as [On Hold] until the Dev releases an actual update. The thread will just fill with negativity otherwise. I mean from his latest post, we can see that the game is practically on hold, until he finishes whatever it is he feels he has to finish.Thing is, lets say crush will really improve in the next few months. Everyone here will still complain until they see a steady flow of updates. But then, with a steady flow of updates... you'll all be back on board because you're getting the game you wanted finally. It will be like nothing ever happenedback to: "great game, keep it up." someone could say "well crush could have done all these updates right away, instead we had to wait 6 months." but crush may just reply "actually no, it's because i stuck to my plan that we made it to a point where updates could be faster, and if i listened to you we'd still be delayed another 6 months." so for all we really know sticking to his plan in his latest patreon post is what will get us to a point in 6 months where everyone is like yeah the games updating and all of this is forgotten. which by the way is funny... but i guess also cool because holding a grudge over this and never playing the game again even if its updated might be even more funny. i guess it's analogous to a baby crying until you give it what it wants, and then it's all peaceful and happy.. (not to intentionally offend anyone, but it's just what it reminds me of).
You can get the art by downloading the latest offline version. Of which the Patreon version hadn't been posted yet so

The art is one of the game current problems and going revamping (it is difficult for them to code as it uses if statements rather than arrays among other things). As to whether you'd have any issues using the old art, PilotLara and Crushstation are the ones you'd have to ask.

You have our attention, I'll ask Crush and our artist. You can expect a DM once they reached a decision.Edit: Ok it appears I'm too "green" to send a DM. Will do so at the earliest opportunity
So first real gameplay in the game is being cut?!
I'm going to stop following this till 2021 and just check back then.
I only follow this thread for the lolz, it's so funny seeing how far you can string patrons along for without providing any substance. Crush keep doing your thing, I respect the hustle.

I do not need to view the code, I said that the fork is needed to continue the project. In addition, you forget that the code is minimized and build from several parts, this does not mean much to you.
And in any case, you need permission to use existing developments, it would be a pity to lose them.
You can directly alter the html file to mod the game, yes, done that. But to truly continue the project in a "manageable" way, you do need to fork from the source repository. There is a lot of boilerplate code in the production html. And you don't want to pack all your code in a single file, really. Tbh, I don't think the dev will allow it at this point, while their own development pace is this slow.

I have bad news for you: The actual source code is, in fact, one single HTML file. Yes, the private source, not the compiled (barely minified more like) game.
Keep sneering Dan, it suits you.
I haven't been keeping up with this thread lately, but regarding the source code: I've always been more than happy to share it and help others create or become creators – the more good games there are the better for everybody. DM me on Discord if you ever want to pitch an idea or just ask for help.

You are well aware that we are talking about the development of the game, not the final build of the version. Obviously, you won't do the whole game in one file, you will get lost, and displaying the file in the editor will slow down (due to syntax highlighting and code structure analysis).
In any case, my thought was about a situation where the development of the project will simply stop, then in this case it would be possible to make a fork with the author's permission, although I think many would not refuse to see the fork right now with the current pace of development.
Whatever you say, buddy, but first try to do all the things you're talking about, and develop at least a small project for yourself to understand the i
I truly find it jarring that you are telling me to develop something as you beg for somebody else's source code. Somebody who, by the way, is still working on the game.
Continuing a project after its author's disappearance is possible, you need to look no further than Free Cities. Not that you'd need to, as Crushstation has offered you what you asked for already.
