Q&A (Spring 2025 edition)

Hey, hey, people,

How's it going? Have you all made it to the end of Final Orginity v0.4.7? As is tradition, with every release we drop a Q&A where we, the members of the Ropoductions Team, answer ALL your questions, and yep, this time’s no exception. Today we’ve got 11 questions you left us on our Discord channel. Alright, let’s not drag this out any longer. Let’s get into it!

1. When Android version of Final Orginity v0.4.7? (MANY PEOPLE)

Ropo: We’ve said it many times already. The Android port is one of the few things that NONE of the members of Ropoductions handle ourselves. Instead, we reach out to a third party who helps us with that. I’ve already contacted them for the 0.4.7 update and we’re in touch about it. But from what I’m seeing in the feedback on the current version, we’ll probably delay the release a few more days to fix some of the bugs you’ve reported; ones we think are worth taking the time to fix.

2. What do the version numbers mean? Like 0.4.7 is like almost halfway done or something? (Peni)

Salamin: Good question! All Video Game Development Teams need to differentiate their versions, and that’s why a numerical value is usually used. What do they represent? Well, in our case, they represent an average estimate of how far along we think we are. In my head, when we reach 1.0, it means we will have made it to at least one of the endings. So yes, you could say we’re getting close to halfway there. Although I’d dare to say there’s still a bit more left than that.

SpaceSandwich: Yeah we would consider 1.0 to be the update where the game has an ending, at least accessible from all routes, although I think right now the main route is probably around half but the other 2 are still behind so by the time we reach 1.0 maybe not all routes are complete in the way we want yet, so even if the version number suggests around half way through a story with beginning an end we don’t know how fast it will keep increasing or what number it will be when we consider the game complete.

3. I want the devs to scale from 1-10 their old progress vs their new progress (skills) so we all can see how much they improved during the years of development. (Geo)

Salamin: Honestly, when we started the project, I was more of a support artist than anything else; designing tiles, NPCs, and so on. Atom was in charge of the entire development, and that’s how it went up until version 0.1.3 (before entering St. Polla). From that point on, I took over the development and learned the noble art of RPG Maker in a self-taught, trial-and-error kind of way. That’s why there were tons of bugs in those early versions. There are still bugs with every new release, so I guess I still have a lot left to learn. 

Space: I think I’m going to rate 2022 me a 6.5/10 because even though I could do pixel art I was kinda doing the minimum for it to look good and I can definitely see my own mistakes that I sometimes go back and fix specially for anatomy. Currently I rate myself an 8/10, I’m better at pixel art and anatomy and I’m also doing an effort to give the look of the game a more specific personality than just cartoony colorful fantasy, I’d say my artistic vision right now is very inspired by certain styles of comics and local scenery.

Xerlexer: I've started being absolutely terrible at pixel art, where my style was way too prominent. Most of the scenes I did were noticeably different. With some guidance from Spacu and trial and error I've become much more happier with my side of art. I still strive to get to Senpai Spacu's level. In due time!

4. Does Ropoductions have any other projects planned than FO? (Including Frank’s Opera) (Spectarbeyond)

Salamin: I can confirm that, yes. I’ll talk more about it in the medium term, but for now I’ll just say that it’s going to be a project that’s diametrically opposed to Final Orginity.

Space: Yep like Salamin said we have at least one more project planned and meaning to happen, but it isn’t really tangible yet. Either way I don’t think we are going to run out of ideas so it’s only a matter of time and resources that we can make them.

Xerlexer: I can confirm that I got no idea what they're talking about lmao.

Mysteryyyy~~~

5.Are you guys planning to expand the world of FO? (Spectarbeyond)

Salamin: Are you talking about Final Orginity or Frank’s Opera? Joking aside, of course we do. With Frank’s Opera we already added a new dimension to the world of Final Orginity, and believe me, we have lots of ideas to create an entire expanded universe. But hey, it’s better to take it step by step.

Space: We have always joked and talked about making spinoffs since the first moment and hey, one has already happened, and even if we work on an idea that doesn’t necessarily follow the story it could always be part of the same world. Fun fact: the story featured in Frank’s Opera is based on an idea that was going to appear in Final Orginity as a flashback.

Xerlexer: I think it would be cool to see backgrounds of NPCs and such in small Lil stories, like how they got to where they are. Maybe a different kingdom? It'd be cool.

Space has reworked our trees. All of them are real-life species. Do you know which ones?

6. Question for space: how many sandwiches can you eat in one sitting? (Geo)

Space: Let’s assume I have an empty stomach and we’re talking about average sliced bread sandwiches I would probably say 3 / 3.5

7. What you guys think NSFW games lack and should work more on / add? (Geo)

Salamin: Whether you believe me or not, I’m pretty inexperienced and have barely played any NSFW games. I’m sure my teammates can answer you better, but I’d say it’s the quality. I haven’t been able to start many games because, somehow, they seemed pretty ugly to me at first glance.

Space: I haven’t played more than a couple NSFW games either, mostly because I don’t spend much time gaming, shocking I know, but also because many NSFW games don’t catch my eye, the ones that do it’s because they look like it has passion or creativity behind it and normally they do, because it was made by an ARTIST. and that is what I think Porn games lack, art, vision, being made by someone who actually has passion for their own idea. The stuff you usually find is as fulfilling as an advertised app store game because they are made for the sake of throwing stuff at the niche to see if you cash in. So it’s probably not a matter of what should be added to NSFW games but what needs to be there in the first place in order to make them happen: an actual idea.

Xerlexer: Unlike these lads, I HAVE played a number of nsfw games. It's hard to say what would make a nsfw game good, because taste is subjective. I will agree with Spacu though. You can tell when a game has had passion and Charm poured into it. I've played games that look amateur at best, but the concept, the idea, and execution was very nice. It adds to it yknow? Not everything needs to be a Masterpiece, but it's gotta be made with the love for the game. I love games that give that extra bit, like hidden secrets, stuff that takes effort to get. Good shit.

8. Do you prefer to sleep with: A. full body clothes B. minimal clothes (underwear and etc) or C. completely and utterly NAKED (Vision)

Salamin: A, B and C. Depends on the weather / mood / who’s besides me.

Space: B. When heat was a problem for me I would have said C in summer but even then felt strange. And I don’t need much clothes if I have a blanket

Xerlexer: B at best. I don't like being nude in bed. Last thing I want to do is wipe my ass on the sheets. Dick on the pillow? Naw dude.

9. My second question for Ropo team is HOW satisfied are you at your life choice (Vision)

Salamin: Honestly, my life has been pretty random. I’m an immigrant guy in Spain who studied a Spanish Philology degree in Salamanca, worked as a teacher in Germany, started a Master Degree that I never finished or paid for and I’ve spent a couple of years preparing projects that never got off the ground. Now, in 2025, my main activity is being a video game developer, and somehow I’m fulfilling a dream with all this. It’s also opened up a whole new world for me and helped me meet a lot of people! So, the satisfaction is pretty big.

Space: I don’t remember making any choice really, other than studying what I like but I can’t complain.

Xerlexer: Admittedly could have done somethings better. But ay, we play with the hand we are dealt with and keep playing till the game is over. Right now, joining this team has admittedly been great. It's given me creative push I desperately needed. I love these guys.

10. 3rd Question... How healthy is your diet today and compare them from your past (Vision)

Salamin: Pretty healthy, considering that at home we all cook and always have meals made with fresh ingredients. That said, I try not to buy sweets (especially chocolate ones) because they disappear in 2 minutes when they’re within five meters of me.

Space: Decent? I’m not fat but I think my belly is a bit noticeable for my body shape lately. I try to eat varied and I’m starting to cut on the sweets… Compared to my past? well before puberty I ate more chocolate and less variety but luckily I hit the reset button and became thin when I grew one summer

Xerlexer: I ate terribly in my early 20's. Now I've been better about eating. Fish, little red meat. Working out. I'm trying to get Chad's physique. I will get there!

11. Are the three high dudes in the game based on you guys? (Brckwll)

Space: Atom designed them so unless he actually had that idea and didn’t say it, no. They don’t look like us either.

Salamin: Hell no! When you see us in the game, you’ll know (?).

Xerlexer: Yknow I thought the same thing too. But naw they aren't these boys. But if I have to pick one that represents me, it'll be the balding guy.

In the next update, all maps will feature the new trees!

Well, that was the Q&A for version 0.4.7. We're gonna keep doing what we do best at full throttle. The next post will be Patreon-exclusive and we'll go into detail about what to expect for the next update coming in a couple of months.

No more rambling. Cutting transmission. You guys stay as beautiful as ever, alright?

Take care and see you in the next post, 

Ropo
