VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [S1 v0.85c] [NeonGhosts]

[bihwa00191]

Excuse me, regarding #957 PDF Walkthrough, is there an in-game version?

Can't speak for them but my problem with name save features more than the having to name the saves is what happens with them around. Some prevent deleting files for some stupid reason this are just the worst, this is beyond mildly annoying. For most of the ones that don't prevent deleting since I don't actually care for the feature I just end up having to do extra clicks every time I want to make a new save.

I have seen save file naming applied in a way that isn't obstructing though, in the save page the game ask for a file name but you can just no input anything if you don't want to and it doesn't prevent deleting files either. I would highly recommend making it a preferences option of doing it this way, less annoying that way.

Deleting is easy: go into the "saves" folder under /game/, then go into the Ren'Py backup, find the game, and delete the desired save in both the general folder and the /sync/ folder.

This is an issue that exists whether save naming is on or not, at least in several of the VNs I've played lately. Very few VNs without savenames have a "click and delete" function on them that I've seen - most have to be done by going into all three folders.

I think the issue you may be seeing is that there are two different functions at play and some enable one, but not the other, while some enable both.

I honestly don't understand why anyone WOULDN'T have a naming function - it is much easier than making separate notes and having to toggle out to check them (unless you're writing them by hand). The one truly annoying thing is what I think Dessolos is encountering, in that some Dev's can't properly set up the naming such that whatever slot you've loaded is the default name presented when you save, versus the first named saved made on the page. For example, if I name slot 1-1 "Main Run", then slot 1-2 for a variant to that run, whenever I load slot 1-2 and advance that version, when I go to save, it will revert to the slot 1-1 name, not the slot 1-2 name. This is an area where a lot of Devs seem to need to do some homework.

Naming a save, like naming a document, graphic or spreadsheet file should be about the most basic function available within a software package, so I'm uncertain why it is found to be so difficult for so many Devs.

Give option to turning off name save feature if you decide to adding it.

Oh, such nice examples of "nothing you do is ever good enough for me" attitude.

Hello, I would like to use the patch, but I have no idea where it belongs. Can someone please tell me. I play on my cell phone with Android.

Thank you very much

 

[TheSalaminizer]

Hey, do any of the Extras for this game allow us to rename the characters?

Don't know. But, if you can't find an easier way, you can do it through URM mod. Follow the installation instructions -> load a save -> Alt + M -> renaming tab -> find the little person & pencil in corner that says 'rename a character' when you mouseover -> find the character -> input the replacement name you want. Make sure to save your game afterwards of course Good luck!

Well, it worked...until other characters started interacting with her, and started calling her by her name and then her full name.

Back to the drawing board...but thank you.

such negative person.

There's an easier way to deal with that: just don't name the saves. Simple! Nothing to turn off!

I play with joiplay, when we trying to save when there's name save feature keyboard will pop up and sometimes we can even see save slot. Which mean we can't even do save properly. That the reason I ask for option to turning off the feature. Stop being so negative people, I'm not harassing dev for adding those feature.

I don't know shit about joiplay, but can't you just hit enter and it will save without namin? This is a legit question as I don't know.

You can't, the keyboard will keep popping out. Only work when you play the game like enter name or age or something but for some reason even enter can't hide keyboard if there's name save feature.

Damn. That fuckin sucks. Hopefully they can fix it soon for you guys.

Well, there's your problem: you're using an inferior platform for the VN. Devs usually won't make wholesale changes for the less than 15% that use Mac and Android.

I know thats my problem, i just wait for the update come then. Just hope dev read my comment and consider do it.

 

[hoshimota]

Is there still no sound in this? I found a post way earlier in the thread saying not yet but that was like a year ago.

PSA to devs: Sound is really important. At least put music and a few basic sound effects in, from the start. It's fucking eerie playing in total silence lmao.

Sound is NOT important. Maybe to a few people.

There is a key that allows you to delete saves in-game, in my keyboard it is called "supr" but my keyoard is in Spanish, I'm not sure but I believe it's called "del" in English.

I quite literally gave an example that has been "good enough" it is a feature that I generally don't use, but its presence itself is not annoying, it's only annoying when it makes stuff more difficult then if it wasn't there.

Yeah when a game has music/sound I usually just turn it down/mute it inorder to play my own videos in the background.

While it isn't absolutely necessary (as when you're reading a good book), I think it does enhance, and I miss it when it isn't part of a VN - especially since I've gotten used to some Devs that do it so well (Drifty and Caribdis, for example).

But, for my taste, leave out the voice acting, with the possible exception of decent "moan" type sounds during sex scenes - subtle stuff, not that ahegao crap where the porn actress sounds like she's having an orgasm just because the guy is within three feet of her. I also like when a Dev will put in something like the "announcement" voice where it makes sense (e.g., Caribdis in Eternum when you're logging on), and things like indistinct background chatter, nature sounds (rain, waves, wind, birds), or even traffic noises where appropriate - things that help create the atmosphere of a scene, but which don't overpower.

My two cents; you're mileage may vary.

Thorn we don't always see eye to eye, but on this I agree with you 100%. Decent music is a major value add, decent moaning is also a value add, shitty voice acting (including shitty moaning and ESPECIALLY that unbelievable porn star style bullshit) are negatives.

I also personally like little sound effects to liven things up, like some games do weather sounds really well in a way that is immersive.
