Ren'Py Doing Things My Way [Act 1 Revamp] [Random Derpoy]

[the_fluff]

Okay so I know this was a revamp of act 1 but I do have some similar critiques. Honestly a bit too much clicking different places. Like the school mainly, I think we should just have access to all places in the school from first entering it, not have to click to go to the second floor and then click again to go somewhere else. There should also be just a go home and/or sleep button that's always available.

And you have to repeat scenes with characters too many times. In combination with all the clicking around to get anywhere it's also having to repeat your actions so many times. It piles up and becomes a slogfest.

Sooooo many characters where it tells me, you can't interact with them in this version. I've 'enthralled' 14 LIs so far and accumulated a Power of 58. How many more LIs do I need to find to finish Act 1 and proceed to Act 2? And will Act 2 allow me to interact with all those locked characters on the first screen of the map, as well as getting to the second screen? This could really do with a walkthrough.

Don't know how the revamp of act 1 is yet but I do want to say that I forgot to say last time is I think Chiya was forgiven too easily and she get let off too easy. It was pretty unsatisfying.

That would be the case for most people. But when it comes to the MC, he was so used to being treated poorly, that even a single bit of kindness could shatter his more "revenge-like" side which was what I was intending as the MC really wasn't expecting such kindness from her. But I do admit from most perspectives it doesn't make much sense. Especially since I was still new to making visual novels at the time so I was still learning to pace and develop character progression.

Yeah I'm not proud of the early stuff, but I've been trying to improve and hopefully once part 1 is finished, I can spend some time going back and fixing a bunch of these early issues. However, I have been improving and if you haven't started Act 3 yet, you'll see what I mean when we get there as I feel it improves a lot of the older issues.

Some characters can be unlocked at certain acts, I just forgot to change the code. For example, the characters you can win over in act 1 are just Chiya, Fonia, Saki, and Dalia (as well as a bj and double bj scene with the character Mika), followed in Act 2, you can win over pretty much anyone outside the school (with an exception or two) and within the school, there's Miss Hannah the teacher, Bailey the red-haired girl, Maimei the orange-haired girl, Jessica the principal's daughter, Hakari the pink-haired girl with the headphones, Hana a woman who isn't in the school but will appear later in Act 2, Principal Kiara, Nora the nurse, Fionna the Student Council President and Ally (two characters you meet after winning over the others), and Viva the gym teacher.
And then for Act 3, as of now, Kaori a dark blue haired girl is the only one you can spend time with and win over among the students.
