Is there a way to make the poker games more enjoyable in the way of not having to click so much?

I tried out all options of skipping and still its just painful to play poker due to the fact that one has to click for every reaction and for the ai todo their turn.

I really like the game buts all that extra clicking is hurting my hand.

How about an option to play this with keyboard and auto advance ai.

Hold down ctrl while playing to skip, this also works in the poker game.
Any action which is not direct player input will be skipped.

Put a book on the key for the old school auto skip option and yes you can use the mouse as normal while ctrl is held down.

Thanks, buts thats not really helping, as a player might wanna have at least one hand free for other stuff :)
Also it does not skip the blabla text while the girl changes clothes.

edit ok with your book tips and so on that would problably work, but is it really to much to ask that something like this is handled by the game?

And how does one activate auto forward in this game?
There is no standard icon available and i cant find an keymap for renpy.

Ha! I've tried out other adult games that require two hands on the keyboard to play, and I was like.....wait a minute, something doesn't add up here! :unsure:

Ctrl skips things based on perference settings, normal renpy behavior.
Text including poker text is included in that.

Preferences -> Skip unseen text, if it is for text not seen before.

What people want is individual, this forum is mostly of the opinion that people should play the game not skip it, been that way since 2017.

So unless Darkhound for reasons of his own here in 2021 decide to add an auto skip there will not be spent time to support it.

The skip options in the preferences are not working, at least not for me. There is also no option to turn auto forward on.


And i dont wanna skip text per se, i just dont wanna click myself for every sentence or poker or any other little game update.
Poker feels especially bad since you have to click to get the action of the girl as in fold bet reaise or whatever and that should really be done automatically after you did your choice. The game feels broken and unresponsive like that.

And it is damaging to the index finger having to make that many clicks in a game. I knew someone who had to switch to one of those ball thingys as his hand became damaged from playing too much diablo.

As for the support i know that chances are slim that something like this will change this late into development.
But if noone complains or asks theirs even less chance something is changing.

And having options on the preferences that are disfunctional isnt ok imo and i dont believe that it is very hard or complicated nor impossible to make these options work and change a bit or the gameplay action structure.

But i dont wanna spent more time on this if this isnt happening fine, i just wanted to bring this up as i thought this would be beneficial for all players.
