Repeat - Version 0.8.1.2 - Sissel's Route Complete!


Shoutout to @Utakoloid (Twitter) for drawing this adorable cover art so that I didn't have to show anything spoilery for this announcement!

Aaaaaah I'm so sorry for the long wait, thank you all for sticking with me through this long journey! QWQ

We've finally reached the end of Sissel's route. I hope you all enjoy the conclusion to our bunny boy's long journey and his time at the culinary tournament!

I've added everyone (as of today) to the end credits sequence of Sissel's route, so keep an eye out for your names.

Again, AAAAAAA I finally finished a VN route, I can't believe it. I will probably spend some time creating one more Repeat hotfix after this to iron out any issues and perhaps add a few small tweaks. Afterwards, I will be jumping right back into Temptation's Ballad. Thank you for supporting me for so long everyone! <3

  • 27 pages (7778 words) of scene/dialogue variations added throughout Days 1 to 9! These variations fairly minor and does not change the direction of the story, but are fun little easter eggs/lore drops for folks replaying the game. Variations are visible upon fully completing one of the character's routes (so only Sissel's route lmao)
  • Sissel's Route B - Days 22, 23, 24, and 30 have been added to the Chapter Select screen!
  • 1 new illustration! Reworked the Repeat title screen.
  • The title screen now changes slightly depending on which character routes you've fully completed.
  • Added "Reset Persistent Data" option on the main menu! This is for folks who want to replay Repeat as a fresh game and avoid scene/dialogue variations that occur after completing a route. Confirming this option will erase all persistent variables in your game saves. Your current save files on your machine will remain untouched.
  • EDIT (06/01/2024):
  • Fixed certain Chapter Select options taking you to the incorrect date.
  • Fixed certain scene variations not displaying properly.

It felt like my heart got rip out when I saw the dialogue if you chose "repeat again" and the scene where Euca ask Echo to open the way to Halley's time zone. My bad boy felt like it was goodbye and it is! I don't wanna leave him after all that had happened! Even if someone said that it would be like as if he never existed in the first place, my baby boy might feel like someone is missing. Please don't tell me that Owen's and Phillip's routes will be even darker.

It feels special seeing this come to a closure after so many years, so awesome.

Sissel is very cute and I like him very much,and I sincerely hope I can see Owen's route finshed in the future

TvT

As muh as i prefer the og design, this is still a massive & great achievement 👍👌

Congratz on finishinup Sissel's route! This was one of the first visual novel's i've read and I'm full glad that Sissel story is concluding. Keep up the great work!

Will ''Repeat again'' route have something new?I'm kinda expecting for it.;;;w;;;

Have finally gotten around to playing this again after a long time of putting it in hold and to hear that sissel's route is done, i just had to get back on it, i think the last i recall is it was when the update was up until knowing that bit with herschel and the debt collectors, finished this route and my god its so beautiful, the parts where i would just laugh out and then bits where it would just make me feel teary eyed, this is such a rollercoaster of emotions this one, you did very well on the progress so far and definitely here for seeing how it progresses in the future, will admit back then when i heard and saw the sprite rework, it took a little bit to adjust but its actually not that bad, can definitely see the improvement in artstyle after going through the days in the game, very much enjoyed every bit of what it has so far, keep up the great work shiro and wishing you awesome days to come ^^

oh you bastard, how could you do this to us im crying goddammit why is this so beautiful why would you do this aaahhhh

SHIRO I DID NOT GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO FUCK MY FEELS THIS HARD

i love everything, and i especially appreciate the decision to work in some easter-egg lines upon restarting the vn after having completed a route. on a structural level, it might seem superfluous, but on a creative-writing and literary-analysis level, it does mean a lot. among other creative decisions, it shows how much care is invested in the reader's experience, above and beyond what is strictly necessary for the plot. it's the final kiss of the story's leitmotif, that extra 'something' that brings it all to a poetic finish, and is even more impactful because that ability is unique to the structure of vns. traditional written media can use different techniques to achieve similar effects, but the fact that some of the actual lines change depending on previously-logged data is an ingenious use of this format. bellissimo! 

This is awesome, congratulations shirokoi <3<3

Hey, so apparently, starting from the beginning makes....idk how to explain this but it just repeats the same lines right after they're shown sometimes, just slightly different?

This happens when you meet Phillip and when you meet the remnant for the first time, there might've been more that I missed, but I simply do not know if they were intended or not to notice those.

Ah that’s not supposed to happen. Dialogue is supposed to vary slightly depending on whether or not you’ve completed Sissel’s route. Could you post screenshots of where this happens? I’ll try to get this fixed ASAP.

I think an example is in Day1

In line 29 you have 

if persistent.repeat == "true":

I think you meant to have

elif persistent.repeat == "true":

Or maybe have

Line 9
if persistent.repeat =! "true":

Line 29
else:

Right after this part,


you get these choices (which I don't think were supposed to happen, since I haven't played through Sissel's route yet)

And for the remnant part, it's this:


into this right after:


Those are the only ones I noticed so far though, sorry for the very late response btw!

Thank you for the reports! I've fixed them on my end and will be putting out a fixed update later tonight! QWQ

Wicked!

I think I figured out what it is, the alignment.

If you look at day1 lines 289 - 309, you'll see that they're not aligned correctly under the "if persistent.repeat == "false":"

So they end up falling outside of the "if persistent.repeat == "false":"

Also, maybe put at least 3 blank lines between where the new content ends and the old content starts up again. That way people who have already read the content can continue skipping seen text.

Thank you, Shirokoi! 

It's exciting to see my (other) nickname in credits:))))

(+3)

Man, it's so nice to see all the progress Repeat's gone through. I remember falling in love with the story and all the characters years ago and now I can fawn over the ending of Sissel's route!

(+2)

It's been so long but I say that it's worth the wait! Repeat was and still is my favorite VN that I've ever played, I'm pretty sure it was also the first one too! This story is amazing and i will definitely play it again for the other routes, thank you for this awesome work of art! ^w^

I LOVED THAT ENDING

not entirely 

Rip

But it was still so good and heartwarming

Did cry ngl

There are a lot of people who watch fvn purely for characters with big muscles, so maybe the dev made them buffer to attract a larger audience, or maybe that is how he likes his characters. I really like the new sprites, though I would associate the older sprites with Sissel and Phillip since they are smaller. The new sprite for Owen imo suits him more.

(+8)

Wow, I had no idea :O

Thank you. I'm glad folks take the time to remind me of this information every time I post anything Repeat related! I'm sure eventually these comments will do something other than make me feel horrible about myself and want to quit the VN completely. Those 4 months spent reworking all 152 sprites really paid off :D

(+6)

Please don't pay attention to this, Shiro. You know we all love Repeat and most people love your new sprites!
Don't let these words discourage you, we will all support you and we will be looking forward to the continuation of the game.

I like the new sprites. I was thinking about what I've seen of other vns with people not liking the characters because they are not muscular enough, or that they were remade in a way they don't like and that they often pressure the devs into doing the game their way instead of how the dev wants THEIR vn to be. I've played some vns where devs changed the characters or the story out of pressure from those who read their vns. I was guessing what the reasons for the change in the sprites might have been since some people complained about them. Some of the fvn audience just focus too much on the appearance of the characters and not the story. I am sorry for causing offense. I enjoy the story and the sprites and hope you continue the story despite what people say about the sprites.

“I didn’t mean to.” Alright buddy, your first comment was literally “your art repulses me.”

I used to be less petty about this kind of thing but after being hounded for months after the sprite rework, receiving death threats, being told that I completely ruined my VN, and legitimately considering dropping Repeat all together, I’ve lost my patience. What did you expect when you posted this? That I’d drop months of work and revert to the old sprites? Nah. All these comments do is make me feel like a piece of shit. Congrats, you succeeded. 

Sorry if I’m being bitter about this. I’ve held my tongue about these kind of comments for over a year and you’ve managed to catch me on a bad day.

This is the first time I've seen a VN creator explode at someone, damn

I hope the development goes well for the rest of the routes, It's impressive that you managed to finish a route! I hope you get therapy or something for those issues, none should be threatened for an eastethic change, this is one of my fav Vn's and it's not because of the art, but for the writing and comedy, I believe the creator of Damn Chorus may be suffering from the same issues since the sprites of their characters got reworked too, the sad truth is that some people just don't like change sometimes and that sucks, I wish you luck!

thats a child... Shirokoi did a great job with the new sprites
