I don't see why you have to make this personal. We're having a disagreement, that doesn't mean you have to be rude.You realise the more you try mental gymnastic to defend your take, the more stupid it sounds?
You clearly don't understand what "Text-Based game" stands for. (Hint: they are not Text Only game).
Not to mention your strawman argument is not even the point. (Hint: We were talking about the quality, what makes a game good, NOT your identification of words)
Also, TF is "image based game"? You know who read picture books? 4-8 Years Old who can't read text
But I'm probably overdone here. Wish you a good day.
Edit: I'm not discrediting The dev's artistic skills.
In fact, LfA stands out mainly because its amazing arts and animations, as a Text-based game.
But Sonpih should be cautious of the priority, neglect what the game really is, will be the downfall of it.
Am I to understand, then, that your definition of a text based game is a game that has any text in it? Is Skyrim a text based game, since every so often you have to read quest text?
I'm making a simple distinction between games in which information is delivered by text ("he ran away," "she picked up the sword," "they won the fight") and games in which information is delivered visually, by image or animation. And my argument is that the game's primary method of delivering information is visual, particularly during the sex scenes, ergo that the written descriptions should be used to support the animation, not supplant it.
It is possible to use written descriptions to enhance an animated scene, particularly in cases such as these in which there is no spoken dialogue, but Sonpih does not use limited writing to frame the animation, he writes an entire scene as though the animation wasn't there. It's repetitive, redundant and boring to see your character fuck a bandit and then also read the exact same thing.
Finally, I repeat the point that I support Sonpih and enjoy his work, but he is not a good erotic writer. Even if this were a true text-based game with no images at all, his writing just isn't imaginative or horny enough to hold my attention. I read porn on a fairly regular basis, I know what good porn writing is, and I'm sorry to say that this is not it. If it was good porn writing then I might agree with you that there is a place for it in the game, but it's boring writing, which is so much worse than bad writing.
Edit: I realise that Sonpih's first language is not English, and that he therefore works at a disadvantage. His technical grasp of the language is, I think, very good. He just lacks the nuance to express the difference between an erotic scene and a list of sex acts.
