Heh yeah, I didn't expect much of a response to that. I had been hoping to gauge interest in new content of that nature. If I were to work on it myself, I would start with simple things like new lines mixed into random pools (for things like the Chat command, sitting in the plaza, walking through the woods, etc.), especially at very high intimacy levels which feel a bit barren, just to add more line variety to parts that grow stale quickly. I've checked out the data and it seems like that would be simple enough. Merging with existing mods would likely be the time-consuming part. I'm a writer and this is a voice I know, so I would have no trouble coming up with many new lines that would fit in seamlessly. I just don't know if that's of interest to anyone as opposed to new scripted events and such. New events probably have more appeal, but I'm more interested in broadening the script and extending how long the game feels fresh.This guy is a legend lool.
Doing nothing is also a fantasy
Following up on my prudish post, I opened myself up with some psychedelics, got real about my hang-ups and started playing the 'full' game yesterday, so I'm past that. I had some kind of nostalgia shield up, but now I understand. I had a Sylvie from 14 to 20 years old (hey, I was 17 in the beginning). Her mom abused her physically and psychologically, and her father completely rejected her, refusing hugs or even 'I love yous'. Her parents didn't care if she stayed at my house 6 nights per week, as long as she went to school everyday and maintained appearances at church on Sundays where her father preached/grifted. She slept on the 'couch' in the 'living room' for years--in reality, my parents were cool, she lived in my wing of the house and we had enough privacy, drugs and sex to make the doctor uncomfortable. She had all the comforts she'd never had, not to mention the freedom to act like a kid for the first time in her life, or cry when she was sad and not get beaten for it. And I know how this will sound, but she introduced me to headpats (asking for them--I think it started out as her acting like a cat to be cute), her first job was filing medical records at a doctor's office, and when we left off, she was in... nursing school.
So all that probably has something to do with why I'm not quite done and would like to contribute in some way, in memory of the good years and not the mess things predictably became toward the end.
Do people care about additional random lines? Or should I channel this burst of latent nostalgia into other pursuits? There would no ETA and I wouldn't announce work was underway until I had something to upload--I just want to get an idea of interest.
