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

[gino.pilotino]

There is one in Seasons 2 and 3. There will be one in Season 1 too

I'm slower than any slow reader. I'm still on the first season. I like to savor situations. I read and reread the same sequence of sentences over and over again, trying to immerse myself more and more. This slows down the whole process. So yes, I'm still on the first season. Obviously, I must really like the game to make me go back and reread it.

I just did that with the Spanish version, so, I know what you mean.

BTW, Trope, I shouldn't have done it all at once... I've been having trouble NOT thinking in Spanish (Portuñol). My brain is a mess right now.

But, it was worth it. Really enjoyed your writing in a completely different way. While some effort was done to make the English MC more colloquial, it is a lot better in Spanish. Less stiff, less serious, the internal monologues and intrusive thoughts look and feel REAL.

Good job Mate. Damn good job.

Peace

There's nothing bad about taking your time to enjoy the different scenes. That's why the game is there. There isn't a correct or wrong pace to play or read any game or book.

I have the same problem when I'm translating and talking on forums and Discord. I end up thinking in English
Reading the original script always will be better because it is how it was thought. The English version, even if I put a lot of effort into it and Crow did some magic, is a translation, so there is always something that doesn't translate too well and I should change the whole sentence, or add something new to keep the same meaning, making it more wordy and less natural.

The first time I read The Lord of the Rings, it took me about 10 months. I don't know how many times I went back 20 or 30 pages to reread them. After reading it for the first time, I must have read it another 15 times. With a book, it's even worse because after reading something, I can stop and imagine it for half an hour. With a VN, that doesn't happen because the images are shown to me. Although... even with VN, I find myself stopping and redrawing the images in my head.

 

[DaFinker]

Not sure what broke or maybe didn't come over right at some point, but I noticed I missed a Maddie event or two on Day 18 and thought I had her as active in most, if not all, routes. Found the bio button again (FINALLY) when I opened a save I knew should have her, but I still didn't get anything when I should have based on the "memories" layout, while also getting a positive pregnancy test on a "no pregnancy" run. Maddie was marked as not in a relationship and EVERYONE was pregnant. I then checked all of my runs, and Maddie wasn't active on any of them, but EVERYONE was pregnant on the runs where I chose to not have pregnancy.

Is this a known bug, or is the VN so engrossed in knocking up the entire world that your choices get changed without consent?

Oddly, the "not pregnant" worked on my first run, but everything else was altered for every other iteration it seems.

Fortunately, I keep my prior saves on an external. Guess I'll delete all of the saves from my laptop and upload all the saves from my external and see if they still look the same. My mind is telling me that something may have gone awry when I had to rename all of my saves after the names disappeared - the button to name only seems to come up in save mode, so maybe I accidentally overwrote.

If an unintentional overwrite is what occurred while trying to put names back on my saves, this is yet another argument for persistent save names.

EDIT: Looks like the combo platter - a "preggers" save overwrote all when I renamed, but apparently Maddie had been taken off the list in all iterations. Either that's some kind of carryover error (don't think there has been any interaction with her since Season 1 before getting to Day 18 in Season 2) or maybe I had the rename thing again... Gonna have to check every damn stats page now...

When I'm translating Personal Letters, or something not related to official sources, I often use the equivalent to express the phrase. even if it is not directly translated 1 on 1, eg.: "Esta lloviendo a cantaros" (it's raining buckets) ; you can translate or Blackcrow could edit to: it`s raining puppies or it's raining cats and dogs !, it is true what FG said, in Spanish the "Dirty Talk, and the general tone of MC and the Girls sounds more colloquial, (I'm biased here, since the Spanish version is closer to my culture, than the English version.
As I already said, you improved this part a lot, specially since Blkcrow is helping you, there are still things that are very difficult to convey.

(it's raining buckets)

I've heard that in English, just not so often. My personal fave (which I've encountered even less often) is "it's raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock..."

I heard the version "it's raining cats and dogs".

I think Trop and I have a good rapport. If I come across a line of convo that doesn't 'sound' right, I make a suggestion to him on how to reword it. He'll either agree or if my suggestion loses too much of what he is trying to convey, we hash it out and come up with something that works. I work with 11 different devs now, he is my favorite to work with. I also consider him to be a good friend.

I have completed SS1 and SS2 but I don't know how to activate SS3! Can I guide me?

Yeah, there is no other way to do it. It is much simpler if it is some Technical, Legal document, or Identification papers, since there is certain formats, and phrases which are catalogued and standarized through out Glossarys.
It wasn' t critic in anyway, as I already said more a praise how good your teamwork works,

the game makes automatic a save to pass over, just download S3 install patch (optional) then hit import instead of load or New Game .
there is also a guide linked in the OP https://f95zone.to/threads/my-dorm-v0-24-0-s3-ch-4-tropecita-games.115549/post-12207853
it is from S1 to S2 but it works the same

I didn't take it as criticism. I was just commenting on how it works for us.

The good old '2 steps forward, 1 and 3/4 steps back,' eh?

I think i'm near the end of season 1. As I said, I'm a slow reader. The game is really good. There are a few things that disappoint me a little, though. I'd like to see a little more inner conflict at certain points. It's not that easy to accept a polyamorous relationship. Even less so an incestuous relationship. It happens. I know a couple of cousins who live together with their children and everything. It happens. Even I, in my own small way, came close with my cousin, but then we got caught and my mom and aunt ruined everything. But even without outside interference, we were too young. It happens. It's not common, but it happens. However, the thoughts that go through your head in those moments are much more numerous and deeper, even if you're only 14, as in my case.
