I'm not sure what you mean about there being 0 bugs with patch updates and only patch updates for ToN. You mean bugs showing up in the patch updates only, and that don't show up in the full download or through the launcher? I admit, I have not heard of any such bugs specific to the patch updates, so this is true. But of course, there are often bugs with the updates, whether one downloads the patch or the full new version of the game.Bull ...
This time you have no idea what you're talking about ... Treasure of Nadia has had 0 bugs with patch updates and only patch updates. There are other examples of that too.
You are just being you're usual self .. contrary
in any case, he can use the x.x.5 updates for bug hunting and the release for an update![]()
I think that Evangelion was somewhat right, just not with respect to whether ToN is a Ren'Py VN or an RPGM game (its certainly an RPGM game, not even properly referred to as a VN).TON is linear true, still it has scripts and checks (an rpgm thing), and I used that as an example there are other rpgm games with multiple options and paths that are "patch updated" .. and oh he cannot be "mostly right" here since his premise is wrong to begin with, TON is not a VN game made in renpy
As long as you include the updated libraries, exe and files it will work.
Still my point stands, it's an rpgm game not renpy ... LMAO (the process is similar, since it's the same 'game engine' )
Regarding his point about update issues, with ToN, we sometimes have ppl in the NLT discord who have problems with their game because they skipped an update. In that case, they have to go back and download the full game all over again, even if one just one update was missed at some point. This is certainly a concern for ASWS. Chyos was trying to move saves to a folder outside of the game folder because ppl often complain to him about having issues with saves carrying over. Doing a patch release could just become another source of headaches for him with ppl complaining about bugs that showed because they didn't keep up with the updates. Part of the problem with this, and the really biggest concern, is that ppl report bugs without explaining that they missed an update. So now Chyos runs around trying to figure out how the bug happened, and then finds out it was because of a missed update. Big waste of time for Chyos.
About Evangelion's other two points, I am not sure. Evangelion made a point about update patches taking more space than just downloading a new full version each time and deleting the old one. I don't know exactly why this would be the case, but I'm guessing it won't be that much more data, so I'm not concerned about it anyway. The other point he made is that update patches can introduce new bugs specific to them as update patches. I'm not sure why this should be the case, as I didn't understand the reasoning for this. Perhaps Evangelion could explain that one better.
Having said the above, I am sympathetic with the patch update idea, as I do patch updates with ToN and its nice and easy and quick. As I said, my only real concern with this is ppl reporting bugs due to missing an update and wasting Chyos's time. Maybe there could be an easy way to identify those bugs separately from other bugs, I don't know.
