I play Chasing Sunsets, and Stoya and Kentyrr are friends of mine. That should be enough reasons for me to lurk on Chasing Sunsets' thread.

And I was very subtle. I always am.
:sneaky:
Shit someone's stalking meee lol. You need some subtlety classes if that's the best you could do.
Joke aside,
You did wonders with your vn albeit there's a major hiccup and which wasn't so "subtle" tbh.

Thank you.
I guess you're refering to the bad ending ?
It's probably a matter of taste.
Bad ending suppose to be of someones taste? more so about rape, is that what you want to convey? Did not expect that one coming heheh.
My pathology exam was easier to pass than to avoid an unexpected and outa nowhere bad endings in your vn.

If that's all you want to see in it, I can't really argue with you!

Developers are users like any other.

To be honest, I found myself here by coincidence and noticed that my game was mentioned. I couldn't help but respond.

not taking about you btw, talking about dammed
just seen him active in some other threads and continuously ignoring his own game thread
if i had complaint against you, i would have done that in your thread

It's easier to take in feedback when you don't have to search for it.


Lol, at least you agreed that you have some issues to work on unlike earlier.
That was sarcasm.
Maybe that wasn't obvious.
We all have issues to work on. That's being human. Perfection is boring. You shouldn't thrive for it.

I cannot rule out this possibility !


Your game needs more bad endings, Cap. The one you made is not bad but not explicit enough.
Show don't tell.
Indeed!

I have several problems with the show don't tell thing.
It's a well known rule and an efficient one.
But in the context of the bad ending, there are things I just didn't want to show. The rape being one of these.
Also, if I applied that rule consistently, I would be rendering a lot more. I'm writing too much to show everything. As a solo dev, I just can't afford to make thousands of renders per updates. That's a sad truth I can't get around.

But I still use it a lot. It's the basis of visual storytelling.

Naughty cap,
Here's the thing, i seriously don't mind bad endings, how much ever cruel they can get I'm all for it, provided you know what you did wrong or going to do followed by the consequences. And without any need of walkthrough at that.
I seriously liked your vn even more the eve character, like i said earlier you did wonders with that.

I for one didn't like the way you stacked that bad endings so here I'm bitching about it but there might be literally tens and thousands of such people who didn't like it but moved on and the reason; shocking bad endings which you can't avoid easily without playthrough.

If you could make it easier to sense the red flags, i mean that ending ain't catering any group of people but the consequences are sure repelling .

I understand your point of view.
I honestly thought that the warnings I've put in the story would be enough.
And I actually still think they are.
Both girls tell you not to play with them, you know there are two potential psycho/rapists lurking outside waiting for them, Jack keeps monologing that it can't end well...
I think it's more of an expectation issue.
You're playing it like a porn game, you expect an easy harem path or something, and when you hit the bad ending, you are disappointed, to say the least. I understand that too.
But the easy harem with obvious choices... that's just not Summer Scent.
I wouldn't even call Summer Scent a porn game. It's a story, with porn in it, but not a porn game. As such, it doesn't behave like a porn game and doesn't go by the same rules nor the same logic.

So I probably won't change the story to give any more indications, but I'm thinking about giving some more forward hints through notifications. I still haven't decided anything for sure but I'm thinking about it.

I played twice, first time i had no idea, so i treated both girls dearly and guess what I got bad ending. After few months on second time i knew & i had to rectify that mistake but again i got bad ending why because you have to talk to the other girl (?) compulsorily in clothing store or else she'll get mad afterwards and go lurking out even though i as a mc don't owe her shit. Learned that hard way just because i didn't talk with her or something. Does that look like a hint to you? Hell it's more like we as a mc simply drawing a line over already drawn line without any authority of our own.

And please don't change, fucker Darwin is overrated anyway. There are enough people around :D

Wow, Radiant is so moribund that the last few pages have revolved around a different game? Damn shame, I liked what I saw many months ago. Also why I dropped support fairly quickly. Gave off the impression of "not gonna get much done quickly," and "AWAM is our spirit animal."
