I guess it’s time for an update about what is going on at the moment.
0.05 is coming along nicely, and words are once again flowing from my mind to Word in an orderly fashion. That’s the good news, and now for something a little more … meh …
When I began the journey of development, more than a year ago, I tried my hands on a few different engines, as some of you might know. I settled on Unity and a certain asset because it had a very visual way of doing things, and I’m a very visually oriented guy when it comes to these things – coding was not for me.
As Sins of the father is growing in size I have come to realize, that Unity does things in certain ways and that it is not very friendly when it comes to older computers. With the newest update to the Unity engine, they simply ceased to support anything related to DX9 for example.
I want my works to be available to as many people as possible with as few problems as possible, but I have to admit, that Unity has proven to be a rather difficult beast to tame completely.
In lieu of that I have decided, much to my chagrin, to discard Unity all together and remake Sins of the father, in Ren’py. I know some of you will be annoyed by this, and others will go: “it’s about fucking time!”, but I believe that it’s the best course of action in the long run.
What does this mean?
Well, for starters, it means that this month will be free of charge while I work my way through porting the game once more. Hopefully that will be done sometime in July, but we will cross that bridge when we get there.
There will also be changes to the way the story is flowing and to the way it is being told, but you’ll see what I mean, when I begin releasing the different updates.
This also means that I'll be removing all the links to previous versions of Sins of the father.
That’s all for now. Thank you for reading and thank you for playing and thank you for your support.
Cheers - Kaffekop

I like the way you think. Bang and tape Dylan's mom and sell copies on the web? Tape D & his mom and blackmail the crud out of them? You evil person to make me get all thinky like that! I love it!
Kaffekop
Yeah, that would probably result in a massacre, but being sneaky is probably his best bet if he would want to get even at some point.
Marty McLean
HMMM, just a thought, but if I were in Mack's place, "Gee, Spyder, I heard Dylan talking smack about how he does the nasty with your mom, Samantha while making her wear slave chains." But I am just an evil person(pay backs for the sucker punch)

Ya even a pig looks good to a blind man
Kaffekop
Well, to each his own, I guess. Beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder.

the neighbors can not compair to the sisters maybe you could make one of them hot and not old and ugly
Kaffekop
Thank you. Yeah, it ultimately became an easy decision, considering the issues, and the time needed to address them. Even signed up for a class in Python, to learn the basics. Interesting times ahead.
Kaffekop
Thank you. You're not into the neighbors?
Kaffekop
We are in the same boat. I too play on a desktop. I do have an older laptop for testing and writing, when my back makes it impossible to sit, though.

Too bad that you have to port it to Ren'py, but I think it's the right decision. As seen on f95 too many people have issues with unity and it is wise to change now before the game gets even bigger. I love the work you have done so far and would like others to enjoy it. Good luck with the work, Held og lykke med det Kaffekop.

Welp, I suppose it would depend on whether that would impact either laptop viewing or graphics card limitations. But, I'm just an ignorant user (and, I have a pumped-up desktop that I play on), so I've got not basis to comment.
Jimmy Lovell
i realy liked the first release i the remake is as good and the sisters are as hot the neighbors not so much
Kaffekop
Thanks and yeah, it was not an easy decision, but ultimately the problems with Unity was just becoming too time consuming. Now I just need to figure out at what resolution I'm going to build it. I like the 2560x1440 resolution because I never run anything in a window, but that size seems a bit off when it runs in a window. Clunky, would be a good word to describe it - I think.
Ignatz
I am excited as...well, excited...for this switch. Ren'py is so easy for the player (sorry for you if it's tougher to code). Looking forward to the completed port and many more updates!
