Ren'Py Another World [v1.10.1] [Maelstrom]

Alright I've played through almost 3 hours of the sandbox grind and got to like one of the major fights of the story between ami and saori and I gotta say, you need to tone down the horror. It almost ruins the hentai aspect of the game with how much is hitting me ngl, I love the story, but tone down the horror if possible.
Outside of that the game is amazing honestly, all the characters are, well definitely keepers, I personally like ami and kasu so far.

>Plays horror game

>waahhhh tone down the horror

Apologies that you ran into an issue with the updater! There have been quite a few unforseen issues that have cropped up over the past couple hours since release, mostly due to Windows being overly protective of file overwrites. Assuming you're using Windows, of course.

If it's not too much trouble, is it possible for you to send me a copy of the log file? it'll be within "AnotherWorld-pc/update/log.txt" - it'd really help out a lot for troubleshooting to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen in future

FileExistsError: [WinError 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists: 'C:\\Users\\*****\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\AnotherWorld-pc\\game/audio.rpa.new.rpu' -> 'C:\\Users\\*****\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\AnotherWorld-pc\\game/audio.rpa'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hey dude, thanks for giving your thoughts! I'd love to hear more on your opinions of the character development seeming a faster pace than expected - are there any examples you can give me so I can better understand what you mean? I'm always looking out for ways to improve my writing

Speaking of your writing, you have quite a few errors just in the first interaction. I wouldn't normally bring something like this up if you weren't trying to carry the same grandiose air as another game of a 3 letter acronym you mention.


It would be "Saori and I" in several cases including the screenshot above. If you need to check, remove the second person ("Saori and") from the sentence and see whether "me" or "I" works.



Your 'H' in "Her" is capitalized unnecessarily (as it is written now)*. Two adjectives require a comma separation. Your verb-tense is mixed. This is a run-on sentence.
If you wanted to reword it, you could say: "Saori excitedly runs towards me from the distance. Her soft, scarlet hair billows in the wind behind her, and a soft smile is etched across her face."

*you have a tendency to capitalize letters after commas (or at random) quite often.

Piss.

This doesn't seem something I can fix with a minor patch, I believe. Thanks for feeding back the information, though - I'll take a deeper dive into this for future fixes

Appreciate the grammar corrections here - I tend to be get quite involved when writing, redrafting and re-editing lines quite quickly and generally having an admittedly poor perception of a few grammar rules & basic consistency mistakes such as capitalisation. These tend to slip me by by virtue of not having a dedicated proof-reader.

Not too sure about the 'grandiose air' you're referring to here - aware you're referencing LiL, but is it something with the writing style that draws a similarity? If so, it's not deliberate in nature
