perhaps some odd problem with the compressed version? I'm assuming you're using that since it's the only market version I'm aware of.

donno if it was only me..but just in case..should be a warning the compressed it faulty and boots whenever an animation is about to occur...am thinking i should stick to bas/krust/dingalingadongdingdangitwhatthefuckshisname compressed only..the pros!

 

[magus448]

I hope Alex at least kept some jewels in her purse before handing them over. Like Mom's favorite necklace or wedding ring. Maybe we can go steal them back later

 

[Valeck]

Well in the Alex only route is like always not one single step ahead in the relationship.
Date with Izzy is very fun and the story have made good progress.
And one more step to the werewolf theory.

Disclaimer: I like the game and will continue to check it out every update. Just putting some observations out there into the void...

Starting from the beginning again to see if there was a point to change an outcome in the story, I noticed there really isnt very many story choices in the game. Sure there are the choices for side girls, but thats about it. This game has just enough choices in it to be about a cunt hair above a kinetic novel.

There should be a prefix tag "Cunt-hair Above KN"

Quite a few minor grammatical errors still there. Kind of sad for a really good game that, for the most part, has very good English.

"could of" and "would of" should be "could have" and "would have" respectively.
"love at first site" should be "love at first sight"
"Lie a daydream." should be "Like a daydream."
"when you snuck a peak in the mirror" should be "when you snuck a peek in the mirror"
"Must of not heard it" should be "Must not have heard it"
"Well, not wonder." should be "Well, no wonder."
"You're out best friend." should be "You're our best friend."
"you're up to it." could be "you're up for it."
"That also helps that I'm his only one." should be "It also helps that I'm his only one."
"And that sometimes some right guys will pay us to be his arm candy." did you mean "rich guy"? ...

well, I mean only if one is a grammer nazi or is writing a paper for university.

You must be registered to see the links

The reason for why of came to be used for have is that the latter word (and even more so its contracted form, seen in could’ve, should’ve, would’ve) is unstressed when spoken. There is very little phonetic difference between “I could’ve paid attention in English class” and “I could of paid attention in English class.” The spoken version of this is far more common than the written one, but there is considerable evidence of both.

so.. sure, if you're getting a paper graded, probably not a wise choice. If you're making a porn game and using it for effect... why the fuck not.

The art of the dialog in these games by PTOLEMY is its written how people actually talk, so besides the spelling errors the other wordings are all fine. it might not be proper, but not many people actually speak properly.

 

[ontach]

Sure, if the dialogues were voiced - spoken by a voice actor - we wouldn't even notice. Written down, however, one should try to avoid spreading the rot. Many people - and game developers - follow PTOLEMY. Quite a few of them will believe that what he's written is correct grammar, and go on to spread that belief to others. Besides, poor grammar sticks out and draws attention away from what the developer truly intends the players to be focusing on.

Nice to see Alice make an appearance. She a little cutie.

It's funny the game is supposed to be about Alexandra and yet Izzy and Alice are so much better hell even the chick at the gun range seemed more fun I hope she just doesn't disappear again

Yes, the gun chick is a real beauty. Same model as A Sister's Love, I think.

da fuq?!?! doesnt matter if it written, voiced, or using fucking semaphore code.
It expresses to the reader how a character talks. One can express whether or not a character enunciates clearly or not, do they use slang? etc... etc...

ffs... only fucking grammer nazis and english professors give two shits and a fuck about it

sure, sadly some might. but then, I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt that they wouldnt be that fucking retarded and see what the text is ultimately trying to convey to the reader.

like the story? which is presented in dialog? and that dialog may be used to express certain traits of a character?


Ok, tell me this, say I make a porn game that takes place in the hood. And I want to have two characters have a conversation. Mind you, these two characters are hardcore gang members... Now, shall I have the dialog written in a way that presents the way the two speak, slurs and "incorrect grammar" and all? Or should I write out the dialog in 100% correct "A++ english paper turned in" with a addendum stating "spoken in gang-speak" after every line of dialog?

Considering that the characters in this game don't use those incorrect phrases consistently, it strikes me more as a simple error on ptolemy's part rather than a considered choice about character dialogue.

possibly. but devils advocate, I dont always use a phrase correctly or incorrectly 100% of the time either when speaking
