I can´t believe I just wanted to see some boobs and stayed because the lore turned out to be really interesting.
honestly dev did god work here, lore is about elf, magic and robot while the story is about freedom and equality ... with the plot being about boobs, ass and pussy ... ><, i'm pretty sure it's hard to keep a good balance so the lore and story are as deep as the plot ><

I believe the point was that not all sandboxes are equal.
But if all you want to do is hit enter and read, then this isn't for you.

The other point is that if you don't want to see sandboxes, you can tell your search to ignore that tag.
Nah he just raged its fine, i can live with games being sandbox if its implemented really well.. And this one just wasnt for me.

Sorry, I can't help it. I struggle to understand the problem people have with sandboxes, they are the best, even if there are some poorly made ones, there are poorly made games in every genre.
I neither dislike or really like sandbox. If a game is of good quality then I don't mind if it is a sandbox type game. And if a game is lacking quality then it doesn't matter if it is or not a sandbox type game.
Same with all the "This game is RPGM, I won't play". It doesn't really matter. A game suck because of poor quality and not of the type of game engine its use. Sure, some game engines need more recourse than other and thus some not powerful enough PCs may struggle, but that is another topic.

I like being able to go where I want, headpat who I want, when I want... XD
My biggest issue with RPGM is annoying map design (tight mazes). lol

But yeah, it's all about freedom for me. XD
If I want to work on the story, I can. If I want to just have fun with someone, I can. If I want to just mess around, I can. Options.

I understand your point and that you're not the uploader. I was only asking if you had the same issue as me to see IF your point IS the problem here. I have always used the built in Archive Manager in Ubuntu to extract Renpy games and never had an issue until now like this. I've never required the need to use a different tool for archives before under Ubuntu. This is the only reason why I am posting about my experience here. I am not expecting anyone to jump on it right away.
Oh! I am also using the built-in archive manager of Ubuntu and have never had any problems with ZIP files, including with the known problematic archives I tested. (But it often chokes on RAR files, in which the commandline unrar has always worked so far.) My regular PC is dead, or I would now check the archive that you reported broken. Maybe I can do it later this week.

Most likely Lin is hiding cause of acute PTHPD post-traumatic head pat disorder and so he has more time than usually.
yea, I would say Lin is suffering from PTHPD post-traumatic head pat disorder = acute moistness too, the moisture might have affected the game.

In visual novel world sandbox just means more clicks and waiting for the same stuff. Generally a waste of both player and dev time

I strongly disagree. It's what I play most, what I prefer to work on, and really the only ones that even qualify as a 'game'.
It is the freedom to do what stories you want, what characters you want, and also usually includes repeatable sex stuff. No need for a gallery, no need to find the right save to go back and watch your favorite scenes, just go do it again. You feel like you are actually part of the world, not just watching/reading.

What if I love a character and want to visit them more? What if I dislike one of them and don't want to deal with them (or in some cases even see them naked)? What if I am not in the mood to deal with story, I just want to have fun with someone? The idea of a sandbox is to create an interactable world, not just tell a story.

To me, the worst tag on the site is 'kinetic novel', that isn't even a game, I can't play them. There is nothing you can repeat, nothing you can skip if you don't like it, nothing to do but hold ctrl until you see a boob, it's just not worth it. Absolutely the most boring shit in the world. If I just wanted to watch porn or read a book, I would do that, and not have to keep clicking space for no reason. Just let it play in the background and ignore it like all other shows or movies I end up "watching". It's too boring for words. If it is not interactive, I have less than no interest. I would rather work, at least that feels productive.

I want to actually play games, not just just sit and read. I want to feel like I am part of the story, like I am in the world, doing things and making a difference, rather than someone on the outside looking in.
