I get it... but I have to be completely unbiased in the code (SanchoNotes are free rain though). So, I have to account for everything, absolutely everything or it's all for not. That's every single mod I've written to date, they all account for everything I possibly can at the time. It's tedious work tbh.Who the fuck isn't on the Nova path?
Well...that's an interesting way to play the game. Haha.
Plus, you deal with my bs when it pops up.
Yeah. I'm pretty much an idiot. I can't have the girl I want, so, I play the game without being on any path.
that's a funny way to spell "why?"
Why? Because the writing/renders are still great.that's a funny way to spell "why?"
This is why there's so many "best choice" guides. They are stupidly easy to write at the cost of being inadequate in almost every way except for the VN's coded by new/rookie devs. The one free roam I coded that sticks in my mind as one of the most complex conditional ones I've done dynamically was the BaDIK DnG free roam. That fucking thing took me more hours than I care to admit. It has four possible major FR mini-story endings inside one free roam while balancing all those LIs in that VN at the same time. It almost drove me mad taking on that challenge. Every other FR I've ever encountered result in the same conclusion just with different stats/paths... that one was on a whole different level though.Plus, you deal with my bs when it pops up.
It's gotta be insane doing these mods with all the paths that are, and all the paths that might be. Only for another chapter to get released and you have to change everything all over again. I'm thinking of that New Coral City game that kind of kept redoing itself for awhile before the developer decided to just say fuck it. At some point...you probably get really sick of typing in all that green text that suggests someone goes a certain route.
Generally speaking where I usually only have to go back for ChoiceGuide "fixes" is where in the SanchoNotes I write something similar to "No consequences as of xxx", then I simply search those every update to see if the variables have finally done something or are still dormant. Most stay dormant forever and I just have to remove the note at the VN's conclusion. Again, that's mostly general.
Thanks a lot i'm not in a hurry! *patiently waiting*
Well, to date they've never split yet. I'll be able to properly answer you after I'm done with the FR guide code. I'm logging all my notes now since I have it relatively close but it's almost 0200 hours here and I've been at it over 18hrs straight. I still have code cleanup to do before I bench test for integrity so it'll be done sometime tomorrow mid-day or so. I'm writing all this in this post so I remember to tag you with a fresh reply.
Alrighty, thank you for your effort dude, I legit find it hard to play games without your mods anymore lol, but no pressure of course. Take your time, would hate for you to burn yourself out, I'm sure many Sancho followers share the same feeling and are willing to wait to use your product.
TBH, I can't play without them either hence why I still write them. I get it, this one has taken me a bit longer than usual due to the binge coding I did and finished just minutes after this VN updated (completely overhauling BaDIK S1/S2). It took a lot of gas out of my tank but I still went for it to port ALL the newest goodies into this VN (which takes double the time regardless). This will be the latest full Core so it will have all the bells and whistles (except character renaming, that'll have to wait, but I reckon I'm still going to code Nancy for it at a minimum).
I'm curious which girl do you want?Yeah. I'm pretty much an idiot. I can't have the girl I want, so, I play the game without being on any path.
Micaela.I'm curious which girl do you want?
In a time poor world, what you and the other modders give us, is not just great mods....but time. Just imagine playing a game like where the heart is and Being a DIK, 6,7,8 hours into in and finding your preferred LI was locked out because of a choice or choices you made, but you have no idea what choice or choices were the wrong ones. Would you say F*** it and just keep playing and pick another LI? Restart it and redo 8 hours of playing to hopefully get the right choices? Or maybe just pack it in an move onto another game.
