VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.24.0 S3 Ch.4] [Tropecita Games]

[jI11jaCksjAkk]

I've been helping an upcoming dev with his first game

Because, of course, you have so much free time on your hands? Guessing .26 and .27 are already finished, you have a solid draft of a workable peace plan for the Middle East ready to email out, and you found a clever way to sterilize trolls over the internet? All just this week, probably.

Just cut it out!! I already feel like I'm underperforming in this life.

How did you know Trope lives on a farm?

That's the Patreon version of that animation. In the SS version with the bpatch Donald eats out the cow's ass instead of yanking on her tail.

He hasn't released the first chapter yet. I only saw the (also unpublished) prologue with the introduction of the setting, and he told me how the story would evolve. His current name is Dianium Studio, but he has changed the name before (it was Paella Studio) for possible copyright issues, since a photography studio opened near his town with that name.

My immediate assumption was that "paella" must be Spanish slang for "pussy"...but then the image of all sorts of small chewy bits down there made me think "I sure hope it isn't slang for pussy."

A few times? So you were uncertain and needed several tastings to make up your mind?

Hope that wasn't the case when Ted Lasso bit into the candy bar little Ronnie Fowch gave him...

I generally like sweets. I also like fruit. But some flavor combination ...

There was a commercial for Schweppes tonic water in Spain in the 80s whose slogan was "If you don't like it, it's because you haven't tasted it enough times".

Sounds more like a feminist PSA promoting cunnilingus.

I had noticed that too.

Thank you. It's not like you're too far away from getting into it yourself.

Since you brought it up. In general I don't think this a welcoming community. Innocent questions are (by some) answered mockingly and it feels like some of you are gate-keeping. The slightest critique towards the game are met with outright hostility, again, from some of you.

I'm not talking about my personal interactions mind you since my rudeness got dealt with as it should and I bear no ill will towards any of you. I'm just speaking in general terms.

With this specific user i think it was a bit rude making all those assumptions (even tho they, from the looks of it, was pretty accurate you should've probably given him the benefit of the doubt). Since you all have a great deal of respect for the dev and he engages more than any other dev I've seen on this site with this community I feel you owe it to him to welcome new members and portray both the game and the community in the best way possible, even if someone is a bit rude or asks stupid questions. Why not be the bigger person instead of stooping to their level? I kind of feel that you should reward the Dev's behaviour with promoting his game by being an awesome welcoming community.

Just my two cents.

Edit: forgot to add, props to you FatGiant for actually asking the question if you were in the right or not, it shows that you care, something that's pretty rare on the internet nowadays.

They finally deleted the messages from the argument but I am back to 666.

In general I agree with your view that I may have been too aggressive on the first response.

He rubbed me wrong, not exactly for critiquing the game, he hadn't even played it, but, by his attitude towards everything, like it was made to annoy him.

I could have been the bigger person and let it fly by, sure. The thing is:

1- If I had, we would have to deal with that attitude anyway and for longer. That 1st post was a test. He was trying to see, maybe even without noticing, what the limits were and with how much he could get away with.
2- I am not a confrontational person, but, I also hate bullies. He entered here as if the whole point of this thread was to serve him, expecting everyone to be polite to his rudeness, as he is undoubtedly used to. He barks, everyone cowers to not make a scene.
3- Because I value the community we created here, I have to be intolerant of the intolerants. I can't see any polite and respectful way to face up a bully that is effective, they don't respect or even understand that language.

So, sorry if I caused an incident, but the intention and the deliberate way it was done is, to me, more important. No bullies, never again.

Again I say, I am a pacifist, but I am not Pacific.

Peace

Actually.. there is a pun with "paella" (pa'ella) meaning "for her" when written with apostrophe

All good. You seem like someone who says and does things deliberately so I'm sure you had the best intentions for the community at heart. Just thought I'd bring an outside perspective on this altercation and the community as a whole.

Sorry for hijacking the thread for a bit, I'll go back to lurking again, starting now.

Feedback is good. After all, how can someone improve if nobody points out what could potentially be better?

Wrong 665...

Wrong 665...

Fixed it... LOL

Wrong 665...

I just liked his post because if I put the "Satou" meme my post gets deleted

 

[Satou Pendragon]

Fixed it... LOL

Don't worry, already screenshotted it...

This is a pity because it is nice to hear different opinions. As long as we don't end up arguing. I hope you change your mind

Trope95 why did you split the replay of the night between kiara and mark into two pieces? In the end it's one replay.

I think FatGiant's answer only had a problem. He quoted the guy's second post instead of the first one, when he was really rude.

Other than that, I agree with some of your points. A lot of time, we (me included) answer questions that have been answered a lot of times before with a bit of irony, and sometimes irony goes out of hand or is misunderstood.
I (we) try to be helpful (some of us answered that guy's first post before FG with a neutral answer, even with his rudeness). Sometimes our help isn't welcome or someone insists on their rudeness, then another someone goes all guns blazing and the thread is fucked up for two pages.

I try to accept any constructive criticism (if exposed politely). If someone enters the thread with a sentence like "The game went downhill the moment a fat student, a student without boobs, and a student who looks like someone threw acid on her face", I will defend my design choices (politely in the first answer most of the time), but I understand people who are fans of those students won't be happy (and not only because of the rudeness that sentence means for fat girls, girls with A-cups, or girls with vitiligo).

I think we need more ex-lurkers. Having people disagreeing with things (in a civil manner, like you did) is a great way to grow as a community. So, you are invited to abandon your lurking and be more active on the thread.

Trope95 why did you break the replay of the night between kiara and mark into two pieces? In the end it's one replay.

Because the tone of the scene changed a lot. While in bed, it's romantic and loving. In the bathroom, it's more wild and kinky. So, being a scene so long, I thought people who wanted to replay the wildest part (or see what the different outcomes in the watersports choices would be) didn't need to go through the bed part.
