There is no sandbox tag but I see a few comment on first page mention it have sandbox? So does this game have sandbox or not?

Thanks for the info. But what about this comment? Is he joking or what?
Originally, I was going to make my game a Sandbox.
But after talking about it with a few people, I realised it'd be a mistake, especially with the story of my game.
In my opinion, it's hard to make you feel some emotions or feelings towards characters in a sandbox game, and a regular VN format fits my game best.
So, yup, no sandbox planned.

Thanks. I'm glad there is no sandbox.
Btw is there a pdf walkthrough (not a mod) for the game? Or can someone give me the answer to 10 Friends reference question please? I don't watch the show so I have no clue and I try to google the info but its not really clear :confused:

and thank you God for that because

yeah I don't know what it is

maybe it's because I can't read or because I have a horrible sense of direction but free roaming segments is so tedious and hard for me

it's one of the reason why I don't like playing being a dick multiple times because when I think about all the free roaming sections I Cry


especially if you're like me and you don't like

to cheat on anyone and you love monogamy

so in order to be faithful to each girl

you make a save file for each girl

but that means you have to play the free roam section each and every time

I think it's the worst part is where you have to talk to everybody

in the free roam



no the worst part is Tybalt mansion

and I don't know anything about development

somebody once told me that sandbox

can increase the amount of time between updates

sorry I got carried away and talk too much
:rolleyes:

It's always made me laugh because it's actually "Omelette AU fromage" :ROFLMAO:
You've altered the childhood of so many people :ROFLMAO:
I tried it before but people tend to "correct" the right way if you say "au fromage" :cry:

I looked it up so I get it

and Dexter's Laboratory was my favorite show

so I understood the reference I even remember the episode
That and Mandark's laugh are living in my head rent-free with Bella and Kindra

I don't think I have played a VN where the sandboxing enhanced the story; at best, it was arbitrary.

To me it makes sense, if there's unlockable content, like repeatable scenes. It's more fun than a simple gallery, because the scenes aren't devoid of context. It works quite well in the game Desert Stalker imo.
But it doesn't fit into every game. The Entrepreneur isn't an over-the-top "gotta catch'em all" story, so a sandbox section for booty calls would be a heavy mood swing that could cause whiplash for the reader.

Just finished EPII. I really liked the new chapter of the game, here we have a cool event at the spa (God how I miss Sleeping Dogs, I was really looking forward to the cool Hong Kong showdown at this point (hope they will be in future :cool:)

Great dialogue between girlfriends in the coffee shop. Simply awesome :love:
Paige: I mean, you skipped all the steps, no flirting, no kissing...
Laura: No getting drunk and being toochy-feely with each other, but it's OK because you can just blame it on the alcohol.
Paige: Yeah, that too. Straight to the "look at me in my sexy lingerie".
Laura: Gooood! Why did I do that?

The only thing I didn't like was this ex-boyfriend Sam. Why does the guy that such a beautiful girl chose look like a total sucker?

No, seriously, I get that the main character is supposed to be on top of everything, but not to that extent! Can you at least one game make the character's environment more attractive or at least on his level? :geek:

you could say he used to be more attractive, but then he got famous, and all the partying, alcohol and drugs happened

Never played Desert Stalker, so I'll take your word for it. The sandbox could be used for environmental storytelling, if you want that level of detail in an adult VN: something like the Deus Ex games where the environments are relatively small, but they are cluttered with detail and immersion.
