For the record dev, I don't blame you for you ignorance.
Well shit, I better go sit in the corner on a stool with a dunce hat then. In the late 80's I dated a woman who managed a bar/pool hall and I would visit at closing time and I can not even count the number of times we made stains from banging on the one of the pool tables!
I have a pool table at home that's just for fucking on. Nobody at my house even plays pool... Jus' Sayin'Well shit, I better go sit in the corner on a stool with a dunce hat then.

the only thing you archive with such a system is that people use cheat mods or console commands
What waste of time? What has there been 3 renders with his girl and 6 lines of dialog about her? Seems your argument is based on what you think is going to happen.Really, can you always tell? Cuz in my case, you've fallen miserably, Dr. Freud.
If we follow this 'logic' further, I can turn the table and say that the opposite is true. Those who have never had friends crave imaginary friends. Then no, we can only guess. People like or dislike bromance for different reasons. I'd say most harem players don't like it and so do I.
The main reason is very simple. I like tits, not dicks, so I don't give a flying fuck what other dicks do, as long as they don't try to touch my girls or... my ass (yea, it happens).
Secondly, immersion. About 90% of these BFs are creepy morons who would never have the opportunity to get close to me. How can I enjoy a game if I'm constantly thinking about how to get rid of 'my' best friend? The easiest way is to delete the game.
The last relevant reason is technical. Developing games takes a hell of a lot of time. How many abandoned games would have had more chapters or, because of increased support, wouldn't have been abandoned at all if they had focused on the 'right' (LI's) content? IMO, interactions with 'non-fuckable' characters should be kept to a bare minimum. I mean, if ppl choose this kind of games (story-driven or not, doesn't matter), they certainly don't want to waste their precious time babysitting some idiots.
Catchy title btw, so ambiguous
That Certainly wont be happening here.
I'd like to think he doesn't come off as a creepy moron. There's a lot more poorly written friends in vn's than there are well written ones so I can understand a lot of peoples aversions to seeing a male best friend. The vn is centered around a team sport so friendships and rivalries with other male characters are going to be present, but not the main focus.
I'm a big fan of wordplay, The name is what sold me on actually attempting game development. I generally have a very hard time naming things I deem important. I spent way to long coming up with my Dev name for example. Where as I got the idea for Game of Inches almost immediately when I was brainstorming what kind of vn I would make. I rode the high off finding a fitting name into what the game is currently.Catchy title btw, so ambiguous
I do have plans for some of these things or at least things adjacent to them. As a player I've always hated having choices that pit improving at football or whatever that games premise happens to be vs spending time/getting a scene with one of the main LI's. Like Juerhullycin mentioned that usually just lead to people using cheat mods and console commands. That's not to say there will never be choices that affect how games play out though they just wont be pitted against time with the main love interest. I already have at least one variable set up. I'm pretty sure I used it this update. As well as the choices outside of the game I want to have choices inside of the football games themselves. They might not always determine if the team ultimately wins or loses the game but they will effect if they win/lose because of the mc or in spite of him.
Yeah making the player compete between the girls and the game would be weird, but it could be cool to have things with in the sports part. Like as a QB do you develop your run game or passing game and that could have an impact on the games to come and how well you do against different teams, that kind of stuff could be cool and you wouldn't need cheats because it wouldn't impact the girls or story as much but more the type of QB you want the Mc to be. Not sure if this is what you meant but it is what I was thinking of as I read this.
Just to be clear for anyone reading I have no problem with players using cheats I often use them myself. I just don't want to ever deliver an experience where a player finds them necessary to have an enjoyable experience. I hadn't really considered the idea of being more of a running vs passing QB, I'll have to give that some more thought. You seem to have an above average knowledge of football so I'll get a bit more specific. For example one of the choices I was thinking about would be have the mc scanning the field pre snap checking whos covering who and if the players are paying attention they might notice he has a mismatch and then give the players the different receiving options and have the results of each one. Obviously not everyone will have a knowledge of football, so I'd have to make sure to give hints to those that don't understand footballs intricacies like have someone a few plays before the choice mention that the dude that had him in coverage is tired or seems hurt. Then when the choice comes up if the player remembers that comment they can take advantage of a tired or hurt player for a big gain.
That would be cool too, the example I gave wasn’t necessarily a suggestion of something specific to do, just an idea that popped into my head. I’m from Texas so knowledge of football is practically genetic,
They should still be there as far as I know. It would only have gotten nuked if you saved on one of the black screens at the end of the update instead of rolling back and saving on one of the renders, as those get cut and moved to the end of the new update.
Nope, I picked a bad few years to stop drinking. I think there is another AVN about football that has the same intro music. I was digging around in the appdata where the saves are trying to see if this game had a different name in the past or something. Don't mind me... need a damn beer or 12.
I can confirm it's never had another name, You may have heard intro music similar to mine but It's highly unlikely there's another game with the same music as Its a mashup of a drumline I got permission to use and a recording of some random schools announcing and school band music. Pass me a couple of beers though I'm ready to wind down for the night
First thing I do in every game is turn the sound off. Does not matter if it is a AAA game or an AVN.
Trying to keep track of all the path branches because of choices that were just prep for a football game:
I am very much in a similar boat. For most things I turn down music almost entirely with a few exceptions like Halo which will always be at 100%. I find that I differ from a lot of people in the fact that I don't like listening to my own music while I play games though. I find it incredibly distracting and I like to get fully immersed in a game and hearing a song I like really pulls me out of things.
