Maybe you could frame them as flashbacks or something if you'd do a few additional renders anyway. It adds depth to the characters in a natural way and deviates a little bit from a linear timeline of events which kind of makes things more interesting.
Did you mean that in a sexual way ...? Because yes. If not, then still yes.
I meant the latter. I've no idea if either of them are into girls, but I think they'd make a cute couple if we could get past the initial hurdles.
Given the long sections of text without images, if coding this kind of thing into Renpy you might want to look up NVL mode. It's an alternative presentation mode that may be more suited to text-heavy stories.
I was actually leaning more towards a throuple type of situation but uh
it'd definitely be an interesting relationship to see play out but I was thinking more along the lines of having my cake and eating it too lol.
Flashbacks, like Ashe telling Guy about that time she was tricked by a twink and how her dad beated him to a pulp.
He's removing the age selection. The taboo patch adds the dark path and incest tooBut he's removing it from the taboo patch is what I'm saying
Cloud saves are nice if enabled. And I think it must be somewhat profitable. Multiple developers do it like DrPinkCake, Undergrad Steve, Inceton Games, Stone Fox (Chasing Sunsets), etc.
What I'll prrrrrobably do is just leave the age as a variable, and if someone wants to they can just edit that variable to be what they want. This is one of those things where I've honestly had more people complain about it than tell me they like it.But he's removing it from the taboo patch is what I'm saying
I mean, I'm pretty sure this would be an easy mod for anyone who wanted to take the time. But still.
Eventually. I don't want to put out an early access thing though, so I'll wait until I have a nice, solid little chunk of the game done, and then I can sell it as FiN: Part One. That won't be for a bit, though.
I just don't know if people would enjoy reading that much text, in that format. And I feel like I'd almost need a 'placeholder' image between the existing images.. Maybe I'm overthinking it, though?
I don't want to tell other devs' business, but -- yes. Games that have fewer subscribers/less reviews/less activity than FiN have hit six figures, pre-tax.
Oh, you would be surprised. Compared to Steam, Patreon pulls rookie numbers. And we're still at a weird moment when only a fraction of AVNs are on Steam while the demand is sky-high, so whoever releases is bound to do well.
It's a one-time purchase, you get the latest release and all the new updates as soon as they're released (same as top level patrons). If the game is still in development (early access) and the developer suddenly disappears abandoning the game Steam reimburses you. All things considered it's more comfortable than piracy and the price are more or less aligned with what the users are willing to pay.
As long as the flashbacks are small like Viola or Ashe stories I think it can work. Of course not everyone wants to read long tirades without porn. You can make it optional for those of us who like to learn more about one character or another. Like Do you want to see the flashback? Yes/No.
Or the short stories could be acessed from the main menu, like i saw other games doing it. That way the stories get very visible for the players and they can also choose to read them or not.
I think the way I would do it is to have a section in the main menu, like a gallery but for the stories that would be unlocked when the player gets far enough into the game. It's fun seeing that little popup in the top left telling you you've unlocked something.
Not a bad idea but I would prefer that content integrated into the main story for immersion.
+1 to having it as extra content available in the menu, or even unlocked in game at certain points or by clicking on things if you want to make it more interactive and have more people go and check it out to see what they've unlocked.
