Hello my fellow perverts and connoisseurs of this amazing game, i'd like to preface my post by wishing you all a happy new year and look forward to continued, substantial and -why not?- controversial discussions about my favourite smut game. My game experience wouldn't be the same if we wouldn't be able to share your insights and my thoughts on PaleCarnation.
Evenmoreso my best wishes for the beginning year go out to those often underappreciated and belittled patreons in general and particularly to those who support this game. You guys put your money where it counts and while moral support may be as or even more important for artistic creators in upholding their motivation to continue developing a great game, the reality of our materalistic world and the challenging times we're living in put pressure on even the most idealistic of devs. You guys help to relieve some of those more worldly concerns and a team which mind isn't bogged down and distracted by those can probably connect to their creativity in an easier way.
Last but absolutely not least i'd like to extend my new years greetings to our amazing developers,
TD1900, supreme author of smutty content and
GIL3D, Michelangelo of HoneySelect. May you guys be blessed first and foremost with health and good fortune, may your loved ones be safe, may your worries be small and your life in general more of a joy than the (often unavoidable) drag. I hope you can keep having fun creating PC and don't hesitate to take a downtime now and then when the negatives of your work threaten to overshadow this fun. Don't let yourself be pulled down by the often unreasonably demanding, whiny or insulting muddy parts of the internet, because in reality those don't count.
With all that said there are quite a lot of issues of Ch3Upd4 and Ch4Upd1 i'd like to bring to your and this threads attention, so expect some rather lengthy (even by my standards) posts. PC grew quite big in content, and while i admire your work and respect your creative vision i believe there are parts which could be done better within the borders of your worldbuilding and without tarnishing the essence of your narration. It may not look like it, but i am really hesitant to butt into anothers creative vision uninvited, but i am at a point where i consider to mod your script for myself, which would be probably the best course of action if i wouldn't delude myself into believing you guys could find my points actually viable and interesting.
Contracted authors working for a publisher usually enjoy the support of a lecturer to review their work and to help them in their writing, and i like the idea we, the fanbase, could partly fill this role for you guys. But i don't want to impose myself on your work, so please always treat my utterances as mere humble suggestions or outright discard them as the garbage they are: the unwanted ramblings of a conceited fan.
I'd like to base my suggestions and findings on actual ingame content and your game grew so big there is considerable research involved which hasn't all done yet. Also, the challenge to write in a foreign language takes a lot more time than doing it in my own native one, so as much as i'd like to include my points, since they are often interconnected, all into one concise and convincing post, i fear it is much more likely they end as a disjointed mess, trickling in at a glacial pace.
So please bear with me.
