I have to say, it (still) bothers me that you only use two periods in each ellipsis in your dialogues. I know it's a really small thing to gripe about, but it just looks so...weird!
...I don't mean to be overly pedantic of course, but little things like this are like individual grains of sands in your eyes. Not enough to cause any real damage, but definitely unpleasant and frustrating.

If you don't like how I write, you can either deal with it or go play another game.

Why do you end your messages like you're writing an email?...
Even the Oxford dictionary uses two dot ellipses. For space saving reasons, but they do use that style of ellipses.
So simple, constructive criticism to help improve your game / writing is simply rejected by you wholesale? What happened to you, man? You used to be cool.
I will give you a clue. Two, even, if you want to be a bit...you know. Read our username and take note of the use of capitalisation for the second "L."Why do you end your messages like you're writing an email?...
(And if you don't want to bother with that, well, it's because Mal and Liz are two separate people using the same account. We sign our posts to make it clear who is expressing what sentiments where.)
I doubt many (if any) actual literature professors at Oxford University would ever really promote the use of a two dot ellipsis. It may not be technically "wrong" per se, but it's uncommon for a reason. I mean, when was the last time you saw it being used in an actual book, or even a news article? Because I honestly cannot recall a single instance out of all the ones I have read thus far.
...And "space saving" is a pretty poor reason these days, I have to say. A hundred years ago when everything text-based was printed with valuable ink on paper, it may have made sense. But in today's digital age of communication, that simply seems redundant.

Yet, that's how they wrote it.

You do know that they still publish Oxford dictionary in physical form, right? Using two dots, instead of three, saves them miles (literally) of paper.
Seems like the things that a "pedantic" know-it-all would know.

Sharing a gooner account ay? kinky...I will give you a clue. Two, even, if you want to be a bit...you know. Read our username and take note of the use of capitalisation for the second "L."

1st, I was never cool, so please do not spread misinformation as people may presume that I'm not a cunt, and then get offended when I show them that I am.So simple, constructive criticism to help improve your game / writing is simply rejected by you wholesale? What happened to you, man? You used to be cool.
2nd, criticism of my writing is a criticism of me personally and not my game, therefore I react.
I will not be changing the way I write and use '..' and '...', if you have (or anyone else has) an issue with that, then I request you stop playing this VN, and move onto something esle.
Well, you are definitely right about being that... But having a violently hateful disposition towards the very concept of self-improvement, though? Now that's just plain sad. If you cannot cope with the fact that you are very much not perfect and that you can and should always strive to improve yourself, well...how can you even call yourself an adult person in that case?
With that having been said, I think I will stop playing your games altogether. I could stomach the slight annoyance of the odd ellipsis, but when you personally get offended and act this hostile and childishly just for being offered simple advice, that is just shitty behaviour. You have no excuse to behave like that, man. You can call yourself a "cunt" all you want, but that does not make your attitude any less unacceptable.

You have nothing better to do than pollute this thread with pedantic and vague trifles.
I pity you, your life must be very empty.
You seem like the type who would even denounce the falseness of this picture.

Always seems to be one of you in every game forum I frequent. Wish they would discontinue your model of NPC.
I want to know when we get to split Megan in half again. You're talking about ellipses. Holy fucking shit..
The really important question is: When does the story in this game continue? The cliffhanger is killer!
When it's ready and not a moment before
You should add something after the "roll back before this screen to save" screen, like "Will MC find another random daughter? Whose virginity will he take next? Support me on SubStar to find out!"When it's ready and not a moment before
