Ren'Py Lust Academy [S4 v4.8.1d] [Bear in the Night]

[MarsUltor]

Let's talk more about S3. We know about S1 and S2, but now we focus more on S3

Do you have some examples of "bad English" in S3?
It's much easier to understand the problem with some real examples, which we can send to our proofreaders, and I hope to fix this problem.

Here's an example from the "Founders' Council" scene. This example contains a bit of "bad English" that would significantly benefit from revision, as well as "not typical conversational English" that would result in a smaller benefit from revision, but would contribute to overall improvement in the dialogue.

I've encountered other dialogue in need of revision throughout S3, even other examples in the "Founders' Council" scene, but it takes time to identify and present them. The example I provided is certainly not the worst case, but just illustrates the issue. It's obviously a daunting task to address all of the needed dialogue revisions throughout S3 due to the sheer volume of dialogue, but I'll try to provide some other examples when I can.

Every editor feels differently in small ways here and there, so these are only my own two cents.

What does Ghm mean?

It's in there a lot. Is it the same as mhm or mm-hmm?

Thanks
Cheers

I believe it's meant to be an onomatopoeia for one of two things: either someone is clearing their throat, or someone is swallowing a lump in their throat (like suddenly gulping).

Gotcha, thanks.

Also.... I swear Victoria's breasts seem larger or perkier in S3! lol
Go Vicky Go!

Honestly, I knew that the example I was giving wasn't the ideal example of dialogue in need of editing; it was mostly for illustration purposes. I should have chosen a better example.

While I stand by my revisions in my example, and believe that they would result in an improvement to that dialogue (albeit a somewhat minor one), I also agree that the relatively more minimal revisions you suggested would also result in an improvement to that dialogue.

Writing great dialogue is tricky for most people, and becomes even more difficult when it involves translation from the language in which it was originally written. Idioms that may be commonly used in conversation are especially tricky, since they may not have an equivalent in a different language.

Anyway, I'll continue to be on the lookout for better examples...

Peace

I wish this game had the option for auto battle. Where you can just sit back and watch the duels instead of participating or skipping to win them. I like to watch the characters battle it out without having to click anything.

I haven't play season 3 yet and i don't know if it's already in the game but i would like fight with different characters in the duel club. In the first 2 seasons you fight the same opponent except the Minotaur

I just like to sit back and watch everyone throw the magic powers at each other and have them automatically revive when needed. I wish they had more magic games with auto battle options. It makes it look like a movie lol.

Are you running some type of mod? If so, that probably hasn't been updated to v3.8.1d yet. If you're not running a mod, did you copy this latest version into the folder of the old v3.4.1d? Because you should never ever do that. Always put a new release of a game in its own, separate folder. (So if you have a Lust Academy folder, within that you might have a v3.4.1d folder; copy the v3.8.1d folder next to but not inside of the v3.4.1d folder.) I can say for certain there is a lot more to do since v3.4.1d of the game.

After that should i just copy the saves folder into v3.8.1d folder

Yep. If that's in a separate folder, you can copy the saves across. Make sure you put them in v3.8.1d\game and not in the top-level v3.8.1d folder. For clarity, open the v3.8.1d folder, then open the game folder within that, and finally paste / copy the saves folder from the earlier version over.

FFR, unless you really badly want this saves folder maintained in the game's location, you don't need to copy this. Ren'Py also saves a copy in the AppData folder, so it will look there and see previous saves anyway.

As of Se3 v3.8.1d, yes. There is actual sex with her.

Well I am not a Patreon of this game. But this dev is really good at updating the game. There is absolutely no way to be negative about the dev. And certainly not about the game. The game is building up very well. I love the scenes with aubrey as a trans......

It is a well running machine here. And I like the game very much. Will there be a season 4?

3.9.1d is no released yet, and they still work on 3.10. will they be able to release that in time ? they are pretty consistent, but it sitll might be tight.
