And, finally: is there an easy way to randomize the eye blinking? I'm starting to get "lizard people" vibes. :alien::eek::(

It was a year since Jack's "last fight". The fight was in 0.4.5 (August 2022) and that sentence from Erika was in 0.11B (August 2023)
That was exactly what I wanted with that Alexia-Buzz MC image :D

There's a way to randomize it, I wanted to research how to implement it, but there's always another render to do or another scene to write.

I think almost every time we see the MC clearly, it's based on a famous scene or meme.

It's mostly a PoV game, so not showing his face too much helps to get more immersion and avoid the comments about him looking old.
The downside is that, when I need to show him, I think players will ask "Who's that guy?" (And now I have Madonna singing in my head), so I show him once in a while. If it makes you laugh, win-win

Are the eyeblinks gifs or animations? The fact that they can be randomized sounds like renpy choosing when to switch between the static image and the gif/animation, which would mean replacing a static number with a randomizer code (which was #ran - or something like that - in basic, which was the only coding I ever learned)

They are animations with three renders (a-open eyes, b-half closed, c-closed)

Right now they have a set time (the individual number lines) that I found is what works better, and most of them are coded through a function call. Only the ones, like this one, that are linked to other frames in a longer animation are coded individually.

The problem is not the code, it would be random.uniform(A, B) with A the lower threshold and B the higher one. The problem would be getting those thresholds right.

so I see two options for randomization, but one would be more complicated. One would be to just put a randomizer on the repeat timer (replace 2.5 with random.uniform(1.5-4) for example). The other would obviously be more complicated, which would be to somehow randomize the speed of the blink ... although if I was planning it, I'd plan on randomizing between sets of sequences (if that's not too difficult) ... so you'd have 2-3 pre-set sequences (one what you have, one .4/.2/.4/.2, maybe a third) and it would randomly pick one or the others. And if you combined them, you'd have the possibility of a double-blink happening once in a while ^_^

Yea, it's past my bedtime and I'm talking way to much on something I barely understand. I'm going to bed. Enjoy your day Trope.

I think I will do the first option, but I also wanted to randomize the 0.5 of eyes closed (0.4-0.6) and do a lot of testing. I should do it... some day.
I even wanted to code a slow blink and a fast blink randomized sequence so I can show the girls emotions a bit more.

How's going work on the next update? After finish in the last one, I can't wait. How will the "kissing" lesson go? And where will he kiss her on? Will Martha be there?

Right now, just 2 minutes ago, I've sent the update to proofread! I guess it could be published on Monday-Wednesday on Patreon/SS.
The kissing lesson is fun and hot. If I don't have Martha there some players will kill me :D

Kill you? And who would finish the game?

I think you've read how creative I can get with a bit of torture, right? I think I would go for a "You would want to die, but I wouldn't let you" kind of thing... Your only escape would be to finish the next few games... I would even let you chose a random number between 10 and 20 new games. But that's your only mercy...

If all the eye blinks have the same code, could you do a find/replace for the whole project? (which could include the eye close randomizer) Obviously the testing should come first, but once you get what you want ...
