thinking about
Lea and Jen
and Emma... It's maddening!
FTFY!
from discord:
Sorry guys, the update still needs a little bit more work. I keep underestimating how long it takes to do the work left and overestimating how much time I get to work on it.
And also realising that some paths need more specific scenes/dialogues because the "general one" doesn't work if the mc has done X instead of Y. The more branches there are, the harder it gets to tie everything together without characters doing things that don't make sense in that particular context.
So, these kind of playtests and changes keep requiring more time than I predict. But it's getting there. Just a little bit more cooking
Yeah, one of these days devs will figure out a way to make scripts modular, right now it often feels like we're in the industrial dark ages for game writing; where every path must be written out uniquely by hand - so I'm thinking things in the future like auto language generation with paths having different dictionaries/preset styles defined, etc.
That's also a broader remark on adult games as a whole; the current popular production process seems like it's going backwards in time; manually rendering out images individually for every iteration of a scene.
I understand WHY it's done this way, to produce higher quality images, it just seems like it's in the wrong direction - games should push for modular setups - using 3d worlds with models in them, like traditional AAA games; and this is more possible with the accessibilty of things like unity and blender.
/endGamePhilosophyRant - Hope update is coming along well!
