VN Others Long Story Short [v0.9 final] [TTrickGames]

[FishWitch]

Hey TTrick, will next update include a continuation of the scene where Chris picks MC and Ann up from their walk home from the premiere? The NTR vibes from that were some of the most realistic and best I've found in games

Either way, the game is definitely one of my favorites and will start supporting once I have a stable job again! Keep up the good work!

Nice game. Especially Vanessa is real hot. But holy shit my videocard fans are ramping up for this game for pretty much no reason -- especially when opening the in game instagram. Game seems to have some major programming issue. Why would a videocard ramp up for still images to begin with? There isn't even anything to render. My room even got noticeably hotter while running this game. And that's not even a joke.

I also doubt it has anything to do with v-sync. I even tried forcing v-sync with my GPU driver software. Didn't help one bit. Though to be fair, I didn't really look into it much after forcing vsync settings and restarting the game.

FAQ said you wanted this info: Version of the game -- version 0.5
Windows 10.

Hope you'll be able to fix it, because the game itself is looking real good.

Hey! Thanks for reporting it.

VSync should be already enabled by default. However, you are not the first one saying it's being ignored for him. My guess is that it's something external that is conflicting (like a Game Mode Boost feature from GPU, etc...).
Either way, I've already limited the game FPS to 60 regardless of VSync or any external settings. The next release should be capped at 60 FPS.

In regards to the "Instagram" feature - I've done some profiling and I see minimal CPU, GPU and memory use when it's running, but I don't mind taking a deeper look into it.
Were you having this issue with the "phone" or "desktop" (in-game) version?
Do you see real high resource consumption by the game (in task manager) when playing?


TL;DR: high FPS is fixed on the next release

This is one of the games every time I come here i check for a new update. It has so much potential and keep playing each path looking for things and paths I might have miss. I'm very picky on which creators i choose to support and I think I found a winner here.

Of course, I wouldn't have put it in if it was pointless

Thank you!

This game is too good to only have 100 patrons man, u need to find a way to advertise it better here on this site because im sure if people played it they would love it and support it .

Believe me that we are doing what can with the tools we have...
Although it's mainly the Dev(s) job to prompt their own game, I truly believe that the community (The people that likes the game and want it to succeed even further) can help with small things, like posting a review or put the game in their signature (Thanks Krull) with a link to this post to expose it to more people.

Can't wait! Looking forward to the next update even more now

*edit: Hit post reply by accident, whoops. Is there any chance that Chris would be able to have Ann's first time instead of the MC in the love route? I'd imagine it would be a bit more work since that whole section is already there and it would shift things around, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask in the meanwhile!

I would rather advance the story than to change an already written plot.
However! It is actually possible to make mods for the game and make your request possible, but it would require a bit of work since the story keeps referring to Ann having sex with the MC.

If that's something that you (or someone else) would like to do, I can write a guide on how to make mods.

Let me know!

If you write a tutorial on how to make mods I'd kiss you (not really) as I want to do that. However, not sure I'd create a mod for this game.

Every game engine and framework is different, so I would think a modding tutorial would have to be specific to this game...

Understandable, no problem at all! If it isn't too much trouble for you though, I would appreciate a guide on how to mod for this game. That way I can implement it into my own saves at least and try that path later

Hands down my favorite game and easily one of the best on the forum.

To answer a question about what sort of audition Ann is at in one of the preview photos, personal experience

For some reason, I read that as the Tommy Wisau "The Room".

Will update be released this month?

Will update be released this month?

Based on prior patreon posts and their messages on here, there's a chance. They posted updates previously about every 3 months or so, but also said here that they've been working on it and the pandemic and all that slowed them down a bit.
So, hopefully!

I'm still fairly new here, how can I post a signature for the game? I don't spend a lot of time on forums, so still learning.

You click on your username in the top right, then on "Signature". There you can paste the signatures you want and also assign them links so they point to this thread.

I dunno, just not feeling this game after finally playing it despite its high ratings. Between the absolutely insufferable Joey and what feels like plot armored Chris, I found myself struggling to have fun. You have a town bike Vanessa who can honestly go catch a flesh eating bacteria in a lake, and the seeming reserved Ann who is more then eager to hook up with Chris. Alex was the only character that even mildly caught my interest. It felt like more was put into the side characters rather then the player, and there's so many paths that lead away from him as well. It's too bad because the renders are very good, but there's just not enough to keep any interest, especially with Joey around.

Welp clearly the game isn't for people like me, I'll see myself out. Good luck with your game Trick.

Understandable to have difference in opinions on games, but I'm not quite seeing what you're saying about this one with what you said.

Joey only seems "insufferable" in the route where you end up sleeping with his gf, which is kind of an understandable response to have. Other than that, he seems to be a slightly obnoxious friend at most, but certainly not insufferable. As for Chris, he's a minor character that you can avoid a lot by making the "right" choices, if you will. Which, in my opinion, are easily noticeable choices that hint and lead on to what'll happen; so you can shut it down fairly easily.

Vanessa does fall under that character trope though, which isn't for everyone, so I don't have much to say on that since that's 100% preference lol. I don't see Ann as being eager to hook up with Chris, but rather naive with relationships with guys. Chris being more of a player type would easily be able to corrupt that naivety, but also it can be avoided with the right choices like mentioned previously.

As for the player, I took it for something closer to a self-insertable character with the vague background on him that we know of so far. Then again, it's only 0.5v, so he could get fleshed out more as the game develops later on if the developers decide to go that route.

Then again, like I said at the beginning, it's all about personal preference in the end really. I just think some of those comments aren't entirely accurate about the characters. Cheers for being kind about it and recognizing it may not be for you instead of flaming the devs for their game
