Woot.Well it's not exactly easy. But if you know your coding and XML formatting then you should be OK-ish
I'm an artist, not a coder.
Though I can get by changing things by observation.
It is possible to to take someone else's race (the most similar to what I want if possible) and just edit the details? Or it needs actual code logic?
Oh, I never said the opposite!Compared to many other devs, Inno shows dedication and I have a feeling that there is a learning curve. I also really like that LT is basically an open source project.
She listens and, time ago, she also paid attention and responded on her blog -which I guess she somehow does now on Discord?-
Ah yes, tried that one.is something Accidental Woman is doing. Doing a framework with little content and then focus primarily on the engine and then moving on to more content. But also people were like "Ehh, were is the content? Almost a year in development and nothing to show. Mneh" People are always hard to satisfy.
Indeed, complex system (and pretty good for Twine!), but yeah, got bored fast because the lack of content.
But Inno is making a different mistake.
Take the latest delay/update, for example. Delayed because she feels Nyan's romance quest isn't satisfactory yet... who cares!
The Rat's Warren was the same, but she did something good there: placeholders. Again, draw a general plan, then complete later. She should do the dialog trees, and instead of spending days writing the actual content, a simple "Placeholder: Nyan says this or that" will suffice, as the Rat Warren's did.
That way people gets the idea, and she can keep advancing, people also advance, and later, she can take a rest from coding to simply write dialogs, which is much more relaxed (and gives the excuse to go back and revisite the "placeholdered" content lol)
(note:
I'm biased towards these extra delays due this or that NPC romance quests, because I haven't liked any of them. Not interested in having straight sex with a bird or a cat... gimme some deviancy! -'sides, I FUCKING hate catgirls-)
