Love your project. Great game, great renders. I'm just wondering is it just you alone? Is this solo project? Because it comes along very slow to be honest. Is the game gaining momentum enough for you to consider expanding team?
Thank you! Yeah, you're right. It's a solo project and I'm working alone. It's a bit slow, yeah.(not a bit :HideThePain:) But in future I'm planning to expand the team.

Hay I am glad to see there is a new version out, could you figure out how to code this out of the game, as in hide it from being shown on the screen? It is very annoying and immersion breaking with it constantly being on display. (Not even hiding hides it when pressing H - so I am guessing you will have to figure out how to code it out of the game showing it).

I found this in the files and think I am close to removing/hiding the displayed text. \game\tl\None\common.rpym

This is the text I wish to hide: Self-voicing enabled. Press 'v' to disable. (location name: 00preferences.rpy:433)

Mate, you've already tried to press the V button again? ;)

For me it's working.
Pressing V turns it on and Pressing V turns it off and not what I was asking for here. I was asking to get rid of the text displaying it on top left of the sceen. It is ruining my immersion with it on at all the time.

Apparently I've been out of the loop on this one. I haven't played since v0.13 and must admit, I'm quite confused as to the rewrite of content. The darkness and tension that was the essence during original draft phase has all but been lost, especially with Lucy and Melanie, not to mention the condensed scenes/dialogues. Honestly the story has been basically completely rewritten with an entirely different vision. Poor story outline planning or simply procrastination of commitment? I continue to hope for the best but sadly fear the worst. IMO you made very original and interesting characters during your first draft dev, would be a dire shame bork them. Sincerest regards.

Yeah, you're out of the loop. He completely changed the characters and dark aspects of the game...so, pretty much the best parts of the game, and despite many being upset at it he has no intention of changing it back :cautious: I still haven't even finished the updated version, it's so bland now...

i have to agree with many here and say that i dont really understand the change in direction and the game is poorer for it but its your choice Enyo so it is what it is..... but at this point now i may be one of the few who doesn't want things changing back, if the darker side of the game is coming back then push it in future content imo, the game is nearly 2.5 years old now and since I first played it there has been pretty much zero new content, infact theres significantly less now.

From here on in it just needs to be commitment to whatever story Enyo wants to pursue and fresh regular content, no more rewrites, no more coding changes..... things just need to get moving forward again

Hi, could you please add this into the next updates code?...

I found a way to "remove" the text, in folder renpy\common\ edit file 00preferences.rpy with any code text editor (I tried notepad++ but all I got was encrypted text so I tried opening it with python 2.5 and it worked), and search for "voicing" and in the line that says:
$ message = _("Self-voicing enabled. Press 'v' to disable.")

change to
$ message = _("")

...no more text on voice on!

Let me preface the following by saying that I just recently saw the new direction of the game, and unlike some I am not angry, just disappointed to see the change and the way it was carried out, though I do understand where Enyo Eerie is coming from. This whole comment is not me heckling the creator (nor is it wholly accepting of the changes), I'm just trying to express my thoughts in a hopefully constructive way... Sorry I'm late to the party, and I'm even more sorry for the length of this all.

Anyways, Enyo Eerie, there were a few things in your explanation post that bothered me. First up is:

I can't create things I don't like.

I dropped this update with a lot of changes out of nowhere. Didn't warn you about any changes, didn't prepare you for it, didn't share a difficult process that the game was undergoing...
I was too sure that what I do is better and you will immediately feel it

I agree about this too: "Now that Melanie is willingly participating from the beginning kills part of the thrill (for me"
The game became much simpler in terms of tension etc. Although, you need to notice that it became better in all other aspects. I definitely lose smth. from the previous versions. And it's inevitable when you're redoing something. But my opinion about dark content has changed. In my opinion, the previous content was too painful. I don't know how you feel about it, but as a creator it wasn't an enjoyment for me. Believe me, guys if I'd continue to do as dark as I wanted it to be, this story would be the saddest shit you're ever read. It was only the beginning. Metamorphosis by Shindol would be a child play in comparison to me.

The main quality of my game is corruption and it will never go away. I just improved the pace of it. Corruption is not only about blackmail, rape or other stuff for me.

Corruption is not only about blackmail, rape or other stuff for me. If the girl is interested in you it doesn't immediately make her a slut, it doesn't mean that she can't be corrupted further. :)

P.S. Let's be honest, guys. The personality of Melanie or Lucy didn't change. I wrote these characters and I know how they react and what they will do. :) Melanie was always like that as well as Lucy. The only thing that changed are circumstances in which I put the characters in

Melanie was always a naughty girl. Because of blackmail she turned into a simple victim/doll without a personality, which is being reluctantly corrupted. Now she has a distinctive character and has the right "to want".

Again, this was not at all me trying to shit on you Enyo Eerie, it was just me expressing my thoughts and providing (hopefully) constructive criticism, including pointing out certain points of logic you had that I did not agree with. I was able to put in so much thought and time writing this because I genuinely enjoyed the the game and story as it was before, and I would've loved to see it be fully realized (maybe with a bit less death & sadness though) because of its excellent balance of intensity and lightheartedness. As much as I do not see myself enjoying the new direction things are going, I will still try to give it a fair chance for now. Anyways, I hope you got something out of all my rambling, if not, that's fine too, and regardless good luck with the rest of the project. :)
(also sorry if a lot or all of this has been addressed/discussed previously, I feel like I did a good job of skimming through everything to make sure I was adding to the discussion or saying things in my own unique way, but it's possible I might have missed some things...)
