VN Ren'Py Abandoned Midlife Crisis [v0.34 - v0.1 Dark] [Nefastus Games]

[Ozel]

Hehe. That's what I mean. I just hit enter if there's a default name, so I don't have to think of one. As you say, it doesn't matter, since you're usually just "the MC" on F95.

Fair enough, but to counter that, when I name the MC the same thing in every game I play, that doesn't really require much thought, either.

I don't sit around thinking "Hm, I wonder what I should name my character in the game. " XD

Oh, got it. Yeah, that works too. And, worst case scenario, if someone is the type where it's almost an OCD to pick a name but who also is indecisive and can't seem to choose one, there are baby name lists online.

Yeah, I just name the MC the same thing in every game. Might not be THE default name, but it's MY default name.

Looking at baby name lists for porn game names sounds... really fucking disturbing.

 

[ZTex]

Also why I don't use them unless I'm forced to. Only played one or two games like that, though, where if you didn't give them a custom name, their name was just " " because there is no default name. XD

I like using them but it makes following some games chat a bit harder than needed. Generally have to wait for a specific detail and then i know whose being talked about.

Yeah, I get ya. If that's what you enjoy, that's what you should do. Obviously it creates issues when trying to talk in the thread, though. XD

Descriptors like "youngest daughter" are easy. When you get to talking about someone like the purple haired muscle girl, then people are probably going to yell at you "THE FUCKS WRONG WITH YOU?! HER NAME'S JENNIFER!" XD

 

[The Krypt Angel]

Ah, got it. I was kidding about Christine and her piercings, but I didn't see the back-and-forth on WVM. Strange, since that's a great game; I would've thought I'd have seen that on the thread there somewhere. [shrug]

It was about a week ago in the middle of the night

I use the name Angel in every game kinda makes playing Where The Heart Is awkward in spots

 

[dacris69]

Oh i hoped for some content with the cute ts in this update

Right. Not to derail the topic too much, but isn't the model agency receptionist named Angel?

That's what I mean since I name my MC's Angel it makes interacting with her a little weird

Yeah, I understood, was just trying to remember which character was named Angel in that game. I play too many h-games, the names of characters in these things all start to run together, or I just have a bad memory. XD

I think for the sex, either smooth out the animations with actual animations or just use still images and add text to describe what's going on. The choppy images just looks too weird, not even mentioning amateurish.

I'm guessing you're talking about the animations with Sarah and MC in the diner bathroom? No idea what happened there, never seen animations like the one in this game before this update, and Nefastus hasn't been around so we haven't been able to ask him what was up with it.

 

[ScorpionZero]

Not just that one but especially that one. It seems half-baked. I went back and watched a couple and they're better but they're not great. My opinion doesn't matter but it'd be way better if there were no animations at all compared to that. I get how hard it is to render a full scene and how much space it takes up but if everybody else can do it, I don't see why not here.

Christine looks like she is having some kind of bizarre rigid seizure

I hadn't gotten to the scene with Christine yet when you'd posted that, just finished it a bit ago, but yeah, they're especially bad in this update. You're right, they were never fantastic, but not this bad, either. Not sure what happened, we'll have to wait for Nefastus to see what he has to say.

 

[jish55]

Only reason I'm not much of a Christine fan is that I'm not really attracted to extremely skinny girls, so for me, she's not that big of a character for me.

 

[Deleted member 833325]

christine is already penetrated?

Not sure what you mean, but the MC can have sex with her in this update.

I don't like them either, but when I quit doing them people complained it was too static.... Should be a moot point in a month or two, ordering myself new hardware for christmas so everything from then on should hopefully be smoothed out regardless, and the past stuff should be swept up and redone with the rewrite/remaster I am starting early next year. Any animating henceforth should be actual animation, not stop motion jerky stuff.
