I think I have something in my eye. Must be dust or ciggie smoke or something...I don't think I've ever read such a well-written review of any game before, adult or not.
Thank you! I had to read it twice to take it all in.
I left the line in above because I feel that this could well be a tagline for the game!
My current system is almost all Corsair, Case, water-cooling, RAM, PSU, fans; all of which are 4 years old, the M/B and CPU are 7 years old. It needs replacing.Yeah, with Corsair, it's more of a thing, I have had their ram and mice fail almost immediately, case should be fine, but I just don't like giving them money, that said, I have one of their PSU's, just because it was the only 1000wt one the store carried when my last one died.
Sorry, not used to that numbering system for Nvid, forget I said anything there. XD
Right on, been building them for a few decades myself, but I never had that much to put into one. I am usually buying one part at a time, and saving for a year or 3 for each upgrade.
My old roommate had corsair ram, and it prevented him from playing his MMO. I bought one of their mice, and the wheel died in a week or so.
Welcome to the club! I found out about this game from answering (via PM - which turned into a friendly convo) a question Notty asked in one of the developer threads. I checked out the first version, not expecting much, and bam! Hooked. I don't think I could've set my expectations high enough if I had tried.You turn up for the promise of a square jawed gall with a face speaking to inadequacy and a plot at least marginally better than the average... then you get 'Yes, Prime Ministered'.
...
Heavy five is, definitively the Visual Novel Harrods would sell you
Thanks for the experience.
I'll be honest there was a mad moment where I had the guys talking about sports because...that's what you do right? *took it out as it just sounded hopelessly awful!*
Oh speaking of which...did anyone get the sports related gag when visiting Sarah on her good path? *concedes it's obscure*
*smiles softly at the "We"* I like that. *feels part of a team!*It is not that many. I just saw Fate of Irnia there and the OP thread for that game has 574 likes. I believe we are about halfway there.
*makes a doubtful face*So, from what I have read around the forum if we can get 1,000 people to like the OP, it can be put on the carousel at the top of the front page of the whole site! That means more visibility for the game and hopefully more patrons for Notty! Now, we just need to come up with a cunning plan to make it happen.
*concedes this episode did pop into her head!*
Too kind, too kind.
Only some?
Ready?
*is suddenly thinking on how to use this as an idea!*That actually sounds like an awesome minigame.
Gotta make sure to disable the rollback key for that part though.
*looks intrigued!*Something else may be coming soon too; Thea may have gotten herself into all sorts of erm, stuff.
Most of One and Two was done like that (I only had a 2GB card - don't judge!). The trick is to do one render with them in so the shadows etc are right.
Yep, that's more or less it. Certainly the story and scene blocks/plot points are all down pat. I don't fully script the blocks however as I prefer writing them as I go. Largely because you never know when an additional good bit can pop into your head.The big point there being, have a plan before you begin.
I'm working on a project that probably won't see the light of day for another year or more - but I'm actively writing it and squirreling away cash for a render machine. When I do start rendering and putting a final product together the entire story (and all paths) will be written, and the only slow-down at that point will be rendering.
If I'm remembering correctly, that's pretty much what Notty's been doing with H5. The story's already set in stone, and the rest is the rendering.
What this means for me is, I can start writing on another project while one is rendering (if the one doesn't kill me - and I already know what it will be). I believe that's what Notty may be doing re: the Scarlet Pirate game - she's plotting and writing now, while rendering H5. The bonus for all of us is: another Notty game close on the heels of the finish of H5!
*nods furiously in agreement*That's in the line of something I posted somewhere on these forums (too lazy to look up my own post
BAD developers run out of ideas, look through the requests, and then go around asking "do you want me to add X/Y/Z?".
GOOD developers already have a plan for the game all the way to the final chapter, and IF someone makes a radical suggestion that the developer actually likes, but which falls outside the scope of the current plans, the good developer takes note and considers it for his/her NEXT game, but NEVER for the current.
Currently, there are some big discussions going on about NTR. And one of the complaints is with developers adding it halfway the development process "because some people asked it and it won the poll that was open to literally everyone and his dog."
About a year ago, the exact same discussions took place about futa content, and the exact same thing was happening back then.
Same thing happened with gay content, same thing happened with BDSM (in various variations, upto vore..).
It's quite tempting for a developer to give in, and maybe attract a bigger audience. But, there will always be loyal members of your current audience who feel betrayed. And even those who like or don't care about the change subconciously deem you untrustworthy. On top of that, the game as a whole becomes inconsistent, the addition just won't mesh right without redoing the entire project from scratch. So whatever it is: stick to the plan, save new stuff for the next game.
*laughs* Oh, I wouldn't go that far surely!Right! For me Notty brings alittleBIG revolution in how adult VN's are made and I hope others will take inspiration.
EDIT: Factual mistake corrected.
Damned tooting I do!
*laughs* I don't think so. Not many people mentioned it. Or it could have been too bad a joke of course
I'm sorta used by now to mebbe half my stuff being missed except bar the odd one or two. *is cool with this tho*
Crikey...I hadn't spotted that. Pretty exclusive company for a tiny dev like me!
Alcohol?
I thought it's a more curated selection than just one number.So, from what I have read around the forum if we can get 1,000 people to like the OP, it can be put on the carousel at the top of the front page of the whole site! That means more visibility for the game and hopefully more patrons for Notty! Now, we just need to come up with a cunning plan to make it happen.
*isn't sure but imagines they could well use likes as a first cut for them deciding what to have a look at given the number of games that come out*I thought it's a more curated selection than just one number.
