I also think that FA is much better at this field. Huge amount of text just make it hard to enjoy playing, it feels like reading a book. Psychologicaly this is important to have small bits of texts on the screen, otherwise it feels like work instead of fun.
For some people reading a book (particularly fiction) is fun. An opposite of work. There's no need to rope some shoddy "psychological" theory into it, when at the end of the day it boils down to nothing but individual preferences and what a person actually finds enjoyable.
No I really mean something about modern psychology of people.
what a surprise.
You can click thru the whole novel in less than 7 minutes to reach a new update
Yeah, coming after White Russian, which already felt rather filler-ish, it felt unnecessary. Just generally, too many of the sex scenes are with semi-random dudes that have little or no relevance to the plot. Max, Cody, Kob, Kolya, Mac. It would have made more sense to focus on scenes that build both the story and the psychological and sexual relationships with the many already introduced characters (Kriangsak, Tid, Wun Sen, Ian, Sam, Somchai, etc) that presumably will be more involved with the mission. Constantly introducing new characters just means an ever smaller amount of words dedicated to the existing characters.
at this point he's creatively bankrupt, he has his little 3 sidequest plan from 2 years ago and is desperately writing filler bits between the vignettes he planned out, which includes what must be like the fifth individual connor sex scene in the game, where your character can either cum, or CUM REALLY HARD from being forced to have sex with her boss (at least she's not a bar girl teehee)
The choices you make influence the range of your dice roll, meaning character who spends her time studying has much better odds to get a high grade, than the one who didn't. That said, to be fair the numbers your dice roll is checked against are probably set too high -- it was mentioned during the previous update, and hopefully authors will look into it.
At this point the question is, will GRRM publish The Winds of Winter first or will Crushstation finally make FA into a proper game?
Neither will finish but George has a lot less time than Crush does
Crush is probably realizing that without character sheet data it's much harder to do character development. I would find it hard to ramp up intensity in a visual novel with a character if I didn't somehow plot how their corruption is advancing, and what boundaries are being eroded and what desires are becoming stronger etc. essentially the writer would have their own character sheet that no one sees except the writer. If he managed to bring back the lifepath and add effects to the character he could potentially have more of a framework with which to write the sex scenes in. But it really depends if this slows him down or speeds up updates (for crush i'd say slow down).
I think him rewriting it over and over is because he wants the writing to be perfect, but it feels to me that either he lost interest in the game, or he's having a writer's block.
