That game is slow as hell. And the menu is frustrating. and slow, everything in the game is slow yeah ! There is not even a load button when you press esc (the menu also opens very slow when you press esc, yeah slow like everything else in the game) , you have to quit to main menu and choose a save file. And imagine what is more fun(!!!) about it, when you for example have a skill check (like taking a photo), the clever game saves your game automatically to the 50th save slot, so when you want to load a game on the 1st or 5th slot you have to click to 25th save slot and then with the slow (yeah slowww!) interface you have to click 20-25 more times to the arrow to reach to the 1st or 5th save slot. if you click 'S' to quickly access to save menu during a dialog guess what? it gaves some stupid error and you gotta restart the game and go to that save file again and again
Lmao! i could only stand this for 1,5-2 hours and shift+deleted from my computer for good. My idea about the developer is, he is trying to make people spend more time on the game by making it real slow and impossible to save-load often lol. also there is no roll back, since the game is slow you sometimes click twice on it and you miss the dialogues. and since everything is slow about this game you just dont reload to see it.
anyway, i dont think developer's strategy to make people spend more time on this game will succeed and as soon as he loses patrons i am sure this game is gonna end with:
===> - buy some dress for Jane, sister or Kara or whatever..
===> - invite her to the park
===> - Say 'Yes' in the park
and game over lol.
and i see the developer is quite rude for his game being on this wonderful community, constantly calling it in his posts 'this game is pirated here you know, uhmm...' . and then like 'oh thanks for reporting the bugs'.
Not everyone in the world who play these kind of games have money or will or both to spend on the games they play or become a patron or sth. The internet world left behind the term piracy back at napster's time. so i guess this developer is still either living on another timezone in which people still talk about napster or he likes to insult people who by playing it and reporting the bugs-issues about the game, therefor contributing the game... in either case im done following this developer's games and wish all good luck who can bear this.
I play these games for quite a long time and thanx to this site i can always find more games and get to know developers and have opportunity to contact them personally if i want to. and i appreciate everyone who posts and contributes (player and developer) on this site and make life easier for new players who starts a new game. I recently registered here and posted a little but i have been following for long time. I can say this is a great community for both players and developers. If i was a developer i would definetely want my game on this community for a great advertisement.
I have to react to this, I probably shouldn't but I have to.
First. Yes, this community is amazing when it comes to discussing the games, what is good, what is bad, bugs and such. But when it comes to advertisement, you're very wrong about that. Popularity on this site doesn't necessarily translate to creator's earning. Look at games like "Life with Marry", "The DeLuca Family" or "Our Fate - A New Family". These games are way better than my game and are way popular as well, yet it doen't show on their patreon pages. Why? Because people on this site just won't/can't support them financialy. And it's alright, I undestand that many people can't support the creators. At least not all the creators, but you should consider to support at least one, the best one you have. Even one stupid dollar makes a difference, if another 50 people like you decide to support somebody.
Second, about piracy, I've never said I condemn it. I fact, I very much download most games from here like everyone else. The reason I've mentioned it at all is, because I was asked by
@SamJohnson, why he has a problem unpacking game downloaded from here. And I told him that I don't know where the problem is, because I don't upload my game on this site. And if you think my responses were rude, than be my guest. I don't think they were, there may have been assertive, but not rude.
BTW, what is wrong with word piracy? Is there a new word that describes illegal downloading from internet? Or do you just find it offensive, like so many other things these days? I am pirate and I don't mind it, why do you?
And I don't believe that striking down on pirates will help anybody, with DRM, or shaming, or whatever. That's why I'm here, talking to you, trying to convince you that I'm worth the support. Play the game, tell me what you think, and if you like it, consider supporting it. I'm not asking that much. So it saddens me, when people read an anger, rudeness or arrogance in my comments, because it's not there. There might be a sarcasm, when I feel depressed, but I still try to help, if somebody asks for it.
Have you asked for my help? I don't believe you have. Because if you have, you would read something like this. You don't have the lastest version of the game, where the bug after opening with "S" is fixed (no one has reported any problems). And the bug only happens once (to my knowledge). When you're on slot 50 and push the down button, you'll move to slot 1, so you don't have to move up 25 times. Plus you can use page up, page down buttons. And why would you need a load menu? You can load a save from the same menu, where you save games. So you don't have to leave to the title screen everytime.
Also you've started at an unfortunate time. Two months ago I've implemented a new plugin for animations, since then I had a lot of bugs with saving system, because this plugin wasn't compatible with my edits. It took a lot of time to fix all the problems and the last few has been fixed in the version that isn't here.
And accusing me for deliberately prolonging gameplay by forcing people to quit to main menu and load from there? How can you event say something like that? I've implemented fast treveling to the game, loading/saving game at any moment. I've designed maps that aren't overly huge and I've added HUD, so you don't have to aimlessly travel back and forth to find, where the girls are. I don't know an RPG Maker game that has any of those. And roll back feature in an RPG Maker game? When you see it, tell me about it and I try to do it. But as far as I know, there's no way.
Last. I don't think you're going to read this. But I hope you will, since you've put enough effort to write your piece. Next time don't be so hostile. I haven't given you a reason to be. First ask question, then be upset, if you're not satisfied with the answer.
