I'm not! I'm working on something right now (as I'm typing this)! Well, a Kinetic Novel short story anyways, the variables are so convoluted and I have a self imposed deadline on another project looming, so I won't be attempting anything game wise, but my short story is coming along nicely, and hopefully some will appreciate it!
And I stopped 'playing' this game as intended several months ago. If you are familiar with Ren'Py, and if you scan the text in the .rpy files, you can enable console (using unren.bat) and edit the variables to 'enable' various triggers in the various .rpy files. Say...
mdom = 5
THEN you can type into the console the label name, as an example:
jump cherylnight
or whichever label you want to jump to, after checking the variable values that you need to trigger various sub-scenes.
That way, you can see how various scenes play out in their various versions without having to grind through a bunch of days to get there.
Some labels are time dependent, others are not, you just need to start the event after the variables are configured as you want to trigger whichever scene version you want to 'play' through.
Or, for those that just want to see the pretty pictures, just look inside the images folder.
Anyways, yeah still making progress on my silly short story mod thingie. I'm sneaking in a few renders of my own of course...
I took my best shot at dialing in various characters - others are better at this than I am, but for the purposes of my story, this'll have to be good enough for now...
I don't mind sandboxes to a point, but you need to ask yourself, are you here for the grind or are you here for the story?
Anyways, my point is, I'm not a fan of the grind either, so I'm doing my own thing...
