This made me chuckle a bit. I was a fan of Jada. I think she's hot. I think she's fun. But the fact that she is constantly in the way and has robbed me of my time with Kate, I'm really fucking sick of that shit, too lol.

tbf was the script who stole that moment not her, you people leave jada alone (?)

Using the outdated multi-mod? When it replaces the script.rpy it'll end at the spot for the version of the mod.

So you advertise for your own game on the thread of another developer's game? Classy move.

I must not have stuck with it long enough. After a few in-game weeks, he still looked pretty old to me.

You're correct in that it was NOT a classy move on my part. Please accept my apologies and I also apologize to the creator of Bad Memories, whose game I have enjoyed. I deleted my post.

Play it to enkoy, not to test

You should definitely put a link to your game in your signature, something absolutely allowed and normal on the forum. I meant no shade to your game specifically, of course.

Several things, mostly font and readability related. There's a color picker for the text, a few options for text outlines, etc. I've also slightly changed the code that switches the animations.
I think most shouldn't interfere with your mod, but I've never really looked that deep into your mod, so I can't say I'm a 100% sure about it.

That color picker code, wherever it came from is broken.

Test: Move the swatch selector image down, release the mouse button, then attempt to move the picker up.

It can never select a spectrum north of the current position without going through the reset process then it all borks the same all over again.

That's my experience on a fresh install unmodded. I've looked at the picker code, it's not sound in its current form tbh.

Just thought I'd let you know. If your experience is different I always test on Win10/64b on all benchtesting units for reference.

Ok first let me just say that it's probably just my "seething hatred" of the way most Devs seem make their MC between 18 tp 23 years old, but the dialog for them makes them look and act like a fifteen year old virgin. This AVN is not as bad as most in this regard. My biggest problem with the MC and the writing style in particular, is the extreme overuse of "Inner Dialog." All stories need it but 90% of the devs I have read must have gone to the same bad school of writng. "inner Dialog" should be used very sparingly when in an actual conversation with another character, but these dev's use it way, way, way too much. As a matter of fact, there have been some games that have more "inner dialog" than actual Dialog. Also, most of excessive "inner dialog" could have been incorporated into the actual dialog very easily. I'm sorry but this is not just MY opinion here, it's most literary schools as well. I know these are not supposed to Pulitzer Prize quality but the level of writing needs to be raised.

Ok. Well, we all of have our pet peeves. For me it's the MC perving on sleeping characters, dream sequences, and especially repetitive sandbox games. If there is even the slightest grind, or having to watch the same scene over and over again to get the next scene (only on Tuesday after 5 PM, if you brushed your teeth before 9AM), it is going in my never play again pile.

I'm fine with the inner dialog. It's not excessive, at least compared to other games. How else would you suggest the MC expressing to the player his thoughts? I suppose there could be a friend character that the MC talks to, rather than internal dialog, but since 95% of games here abhor any other male characters of any kind, that seems a non-starter. With no inner dialog, and only dialog between the few LIs, the game would be rather dry, I think.

I enjoy about 2/3rds of the other games you listed. I am not sure that I agree that most of them have better writing. Plus, many of your examples have just as much inner dialog, or more, than Bad Memories.

Anyway, glad you are specific at least with what you don't like. Every game, no matter how popular or liked by many, will be enjoyed by everyone. Or as a corollary, "you can't please everyone".

Absolutely this. I liked quite a bit about Man of the House, but the repetition for barely any progress was just a pure drudge. I was about 30 or 40 hours into playing it, and just couldn't do it anymore. I was maybe at the halfway mark, or less.

If I want a repetitive mission based game, I'll load up Call of Shooty.

I know about that. The easy solution is to just click on the color you like, or click at the top and then drag down.
As you probably guessed, I haven't coded the color picker and it was never meant for what it's used here. My coding skills are barely enough to get it working with text, and it works "good enough" for me to keep it.
If you have a solution, feel free to send me a message or post here if you prefer that.
