Thank you for the feedback!!

I'm trying to do something different lol, taking inspiration from cinematic RPGs and Hideo Kojima. Trying to explain male socialization to porn gamers like Kojima is trying to explain male socialization to action gamers.

Amber is singing Dom's song like Solid Snake was singing Big Boss's song, making the same mistakes as their fathers in completely different contexts. Below the Fold: Daughters of the Patriots.

I hope you continue to enjoy my game!

Uhh, can you please remove the auto read from the the scenes? I'm going crazy trying to follow the text lmao. English is not a problem to understand for me however I'm still not native, this mean I'll eventually loose what I'm reading or I just go crazy trying to follow the text animation xD

Also, old saves I guess don't work :( Had the ep 3 installed but it won't load back, since I'm not even sure where I've left it I have to restart it.

tbh i meant to do that to the ones for beggin and haunted house/girlfriend, i only had it that way so i could screen record. thank you for the feedback though because yeah now i know its a bad idea to leave it that way.

im going to update the OP because yeah theres no way for me to guarantee saves will work, i change too much around too often. thanks for keeping me on your hard drive though <3

Hey so I did a halloween special, a heist movie, the hentai matrix, a literal heart stopper, and a waitressing minigame in 2 months. Trick or treat.

im still trying to fix that but its a random bug related to parallel processes, ram, and rpgmaker so it shouldn't happen twice in a row in the same spot



it's a game 100% there's exploration and a few minigames and puzzles even
I have 64GB RAM + 12GB Video RAM.

This does not have the 'animated' tag, it really means that this game have no animation even though it is made using hs2?

I tried to look into the code to see what can cause that, and my hypothesis is this: map/event data can tell for an image to be shown, and it can tell it to be erased. There is some plugin (some thing called TDDP_BindPicturesToMap) that adds some additional functionality, and this plugin does some processing with a picture after it is finished loading. However, since the loading seems to be asynchronous, it can actually finish AFTER the map/event processing has instructed the image to be erased. In this case, this postprocessing function added by TDDP_BindPicturesToMap tries to use some information about the image that has already been deleted due to "erase picture" command.

So what causes an image to be "erased" before it is done loading in the first place? It's a combination of the image being erased very quickly after being first shown (either because it's part of an animation, or because of skipping) and possibly slow loading (either due to disk or CPU performance).

Either way, I would say the plugin is at fault here since I would not call this situation the fault of the game developer - the plugin developer should have considered this can happen. The fix would be fairly simple in the plugin code.

This analysis is done based on looking at the code for like 5 minutes so I may be off with some things.

Took a look through the thread.

Yikes lmao, story aside most of what can be distasteful with this game is the lack of gameplay, (see music montages) and the extreme lack of cohesion and actual gameplay elements. This should have been made in Ren'Py and probably not RPGM as it doesn't set itself up well in the mechanics department.

There are too many ways to break something in this game, no indication of what is what. There are like 20 different events you can activate with no warning or option to know what you're getting into. The phone calls can repeat themselves and there's nothing there to tell you "This is the exact same scene as last time, do you want to see it again". With the "music videos" there also out of place and seem wacky for wacky-sake and one of the reasons this game seems like a shitpost. I played this early into it's initial F95 release and decided to let it cook before I came back and it took a whole 180 from where I remember it.

The cohesion of this is what makes it a mess for me and the lack of player agency. If I wanted to watch a game I'd just look for a walk through. It wouldn't even be all that bad if these cutscenes were spread out and there was gameplay in-between. I tested the length of some of these and jeez. I held down skip and I'm pretty sure I was there for at least 30 mins with some of the cutscenes.

I think if there was more freedom of control (free-roam doesn't count because its essentially a "choose-your-own-cutscene" mode) and decision making some problems would be alleviated. That and the dev seems to hold a sense of superiority over anyone who wants to play a porn game on a *checks notes*....porn game website? You can have your heart set on a theme for the game, but games like this find success when the player gets to tell how the character is whether that be a sex deviant or a strong woman (which aren't mutually exclusive all the time)

Ps. Give better quest indications (some people put down the game for a while and having vague quest info makes it hard to get back into.)

PPs. Going to give it another playthrough at a later time as a commentary game and not a rpg cause it plays more like a visual novel then an actual RPG.

despite how much I liked MGS, Kojima seemed like one of the worst when it comes to sexualizing and objectifying women. I could still remember how shocked I was when I knew you could jiggle rosemary's boobs by shaking your controller. I wasn't even sure if the voice actress knew about that but then these things seemed to be more "acceptable" at that time. I just never understand why he has to add that to the game.

I guess when you say "I'm using hentai to convince porn addicts that women are people.", it means something like using Lovecraft to explain racist and Kojima to explain the negative effect of male socialization.

thank youuuuu this is exactly what i needed i knew it was randomly losing that value somewhere thank you thank you thank you

MGS said patriotism is grooming but boys didn't get it so I'm being like "grooming = grooming" and thats why Amber evolves from a sexualized boy scout to sexualized roman soldier, because daddy issues and male socialization is a meme that she carries. If players actually thought about how the images and words and sounds related to one another (lol) they could explore Amber's girl problems through the lens of her boy problems and become better partners, fathers, men by experiencing random hits of empathy.
