That's not the same as an actual event tracker. If all you have to do is "fast forward" to see something then the sandbox would be completely pointless. A real sandbox is supposed to give the player some freedom in how the approach the events and having a log of what is available will let the player choose what they want to focus on.
True, this game doesn't seem to have a real sandbox as most would recognize one. It's more of a VN where the player has some control over some of the order they see events, but unlike a full sandbox... you can't just focus hard on 1 character / questline. You do get some choice as to the order you see events, but if you just wanted to follow 1 character till the end... you'll end up hitting the 'fast forward' button a lot to skip time, and that's even assuming events aren't locked behind seeing other characters events.
I will be putting in a stat page for each girl after this episode is fully released. It will show generic stats like how many of their scenes you've watched, allow for replays, and even tell you which conversation choices you picked during important moments. That said, there's really no "wrong" option in the choices. You have the option to turn the girls on or off, but if they're on then they're part of your life and your choices just personalize your relationship with them. I'm not interested in maintaining huge decision trees.
I'm not very interested in creating a full sandbox with gameplay that isn't centered on the girls. IE, I don't want people to have to go workout at the gym to improve their character's strength to pass a fitness test to fuck one of the girls at the gym. I'm much more interested in the narrative behind each character and how their lives intertwine.
More like I don't want to have a situation where I need to visit Haya in the cafe to progress. However, it has to be in the morning, on a Friday, although the head popups definitely assist a ton.
There's tradeoffs as I give the player more freedom to choose which girls they want to see first. I promise to always build a UI that allows you to quickly get to the content without having to dick around in walkthroughs. Ideally I will have a UI with a cityscape and the girls icons appear on that instead of having to travel directly to the city/school/dorm/beach.
Who knows. The Patreon is pretty dead with the last post being in January saying they "didn't get much done" and the dev hasn't been here for almost a month. It feels like it's in limbo.So... ah... update when?
Dev planned to do the final tests last weekend, something probably gone wrong. It should be soon anywaysSo... ah... update when?
I also dropped my support a few months ago because there was too much radio silence and it had been too long between updates
It's part of her "renovations." But yeah, when I made the map I just put in as a placeholder and forgot about it.
Thank you.
You only see the translation [] when Japanese Phrases are turned off. As her using a proper title is just part of her character or whatever so I can't really remove it and still have the script make sense.
