VN Ren'Py Light of My Life [Ch. 1-7 v1.0.0] [Naughty Road]

[Count Morado]

You'd think in such an open marketplace success would breed adoption of unique features like these.

It requires too much time and work when many develop games as a hobby or side gig; a similar game would be wrapping Chapter 2, maybe Chapter 3, at this time in the process. Also, there's the dealing with the impatience of the belligerents roaring about long release cycles. Let's not forget the self-styled beauty judges who swipe their claws in the stream on the looks of the characters. Even here, trebuchets are employed often to vault bears back into hibernation.

Also, NaughtyRoad has experience and talent in all three skillsets: 3D character design and posing, creative writing, and coding. Is he a master of them? No, but he's a decent jack-of-all-trades. Not many people currently developing adult games are adequate in one, let alone all three. He also releases pretty bug-free updates. What bugs there are seem to be minor and far between. The critique I have for him is for him to remember to "kill his darlings" in his writing revisions: editing for content. While I was recording my playthrough videos, I found myself saying "I get it, move along in the story" or "you've told this joke/pun enough times, already." It's good writing but could use an editor's flair with a red pen. That said, that's my training getting the better of my patience.

(of course, I took far too long to type this response with my edits and still it's longer than I'd like)

Oh yeah, I do have a problem with that, I'll admit.



Step one is admitting the problem, right? Can I stop at that?

Sorry, I couldn't make it to last meeting on Friday. Anything juicy in discussions this time?

 

[Miðgarðsormr]

That's the way to do it. How many times did it work?
I'm happy that my GF had no problems with my "hobby"...

It works 7/10 times. My wife also has no problem with my "work related" stuff. But she throws a tantrum now and then to stay in trantrum shape.

 

[Krynh]

Names and relations is not a problem, if remove ability to input it manualy. If someone wants to call Denise Машей, we get a problem with cases.

Why translate names?

 

[Count Morado]

Why translate names?

They aren't talking about translating names, I don't think - they are talking about how players have the ability to enter custom names and relationships for Denise and Macy. If a person does so using Russian language, the ending of the noun determines how the rest of the sentence should be constructed to match.

First declension: nouns ending in -a, -я
Second declension: nouns ending in -o, -e and some without an ending after the stem (zero ending)
Third declension: some nounds without an ending after the stem (zero ending)
"Fourth" declension (Heteroclitic): nouns that don't follow the above rules

So you can see if a player names Denise Машей (Masha), that means sentences should be written to match that declension differently than if the player names her София (Sofia). This would also have structure issues with custom relationship terms.

However, I think this could be noted in README.txt notes about the translation - that it was chosen to use one form over another (i.e. chose to structure sentences based upon first declension). Also, I believe many native Russian readers would understand the problem and would be able to overcome the issues on their own.

 

[Rasturac]

You know you guys have made me a big pervert
With games like this right

 

[joy.stick]

Want Denise there, next to Popeye and statue of liberty...

 

[Joshy92]

A guy can dream can't he fellas
And if not I can always Imagine it
Of course that might mean my penis will explode
But I'm willing to take the risk

 

[misha958]

I used to watch and look at wholesome porn like the girls of the Witcher or Resident Evil series
having sex with the monsters of said series.

But now I want to see stuff like snowballing
Do devs see how perverted they have made me.

The writing surpasses any VN I’ve seen by far.

Wow, that's really complicated. Do any other languages have names determine how a sentence has to work?

Names with different endings may need different suffixes in some languages. This may be a potential problem with translations, where custom names can be used for characters.

Hey! What is discussed in Group, stays in Group.

 

[Dragon59]

Damn you're right I meant to say foursome
Well too late now lol

By saying threesome with three of the women (and no MC), you've now triggered the three letter brigade.

I hope you're happy with what you have done!

 

[dailandemon]

are we there yet?

I've been checking this thread every day hoping and praying that there is a miracle and it finally came out. I can't wait to play it!!! I also will be sad because I know that it will be the end...
