Anonymity, faceless anonymity on the internet. It allows people free rein to do whatever they want. Most people behave responsibly, but a large, vocal minority think it's cool to tear down and destroy, just because they can.
No needs to thank. Like I said so many times: stay well and take the time you need and not what other demands. Walter Victor said all before me and he's right again.
Thank you, just trying to put one foot in front of the other and stay in the moment. Making the game helps me take my mind off stuff. But, there are times I just need to chill here and there. It's still coming along pretty well though. I've got a lot done since I started development for this update. In fact I'm going to go back to working on some scenes right now.
Everyone "knows" that every single sentence in the game is a movie quote.
My thoughts exactly. It's done in TV shows, novels and movies all the time. So, why is it such a big deal in an AVN?Everyone "knows" that every single sentence in the game is a movie quote.
More seriously, I never understood why having movie / pop culture references is a bad thing in the first place. Even if it is 100 per update. If I don't know the reference I just move on or if I find it interesting I can note it and look it up in the future. What's the big deal about? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Because there're too many kiddos who don't get the references and also just "playing" those games for the lewds. I don't understand those guys either. If I want porn, I would go to one of the billion porn stream sites somewhere in the net.
Well, that's trolling for you.
You know, I'm a woman who don't paint the walls to comfort someone. Sure, your animations aren't the best. But first, it's like you wrote, you improved a lot, at second they ARE by no means bad, and for the third you said it yourself here:
...it's all about the N! I said it many times and I say it again: it's called Adult Visual NOVEL for a reason. An AVN can be fantastic if the story is great and the graphics aren't. But it doesn't work the other way. The best graphics can't rescue a bad AVN if the story is shit.
Let it all out. A good rant once in a while is a good thing to take care of yourself. Those suckers always forget devs are humans. A dev has to accept critics, and I know you do, because I saw that many times. But critics has to be fair and constructive. How should one improve if all one get is meaningless shit?
Having a couple of characters who quote movies to each other is an interesting quirk. When everyone is doing it, even the waiter in the fancy restaurant, it gets a bit weird, like otherwise everyone has their own personalities but when it comes to this they are all the same. The cast is large enough that it stands out.
In my experience most people like to talk about their favourite movies, tv shows, music, books and so on. Yes, including quoting. It is very common to bond over shared cultural experiences. If people here hadn't brought it up all the time it wouldn't have entered my mind that amount of quotes could be considered to be a lot. Never talking about that sort of thing would be weird to me.
I don't understand all either. But so what? It's not like the story hinges on understanding those few quotes. I don't want to take away them for others who do understand the quotes; it wouldn't gain me anything but would also lose the stuff that I do understand.
True. Some of the older references I get that many younger players wouldn't (I'm pushing 50.) Especially older songs.
