Who else like me is playing/has finished Rogue Like Ultimate Edition? Thoughts on it?
I'm liking it much more than the base game, wish it could be an official mode on it.
how does love work with jean? i mean, i reach 500 of love with her, but sometimes her love meter is 520 or 503, how can i reach 1000 with her?
her stats work different. her Love "stops" at 500, but the gains are actually stockpiled somewhere else. Raising obedience after a point and the stockpiled love slowly gets added to the full value, and with some more some of the gains go directly to it instead of to the stockpile.
So basically, her love is kinda capped by her obedience. Raise obedience to be able to raise love properly.
As someone brushin up on C++ to make a game and have taken a look at the other languages available; it is not entirely Oni's fault. Python is not designed or intuitive to game design, many things Rogue like does have to be jury rigged not entirely because Oni was learning on the fly but because Python does not support it. Layer on he is using renpy which has its own set of limitations, he really should just turn to unity and learn the bare minimum of C++ or C# or strap down and delve fully into C++ and using something like SDL.
P.S. Java is bad for games, at me... don't really it was a joke.
Why do you say Python is not a good language for games? Are you talking about speed/weight on the player's computer like Java (not to be confused with Javascript despite the similar names)?
Because I remember people arguying why it
is a great language for games, years ago.
The issue here is that Oni is not using it properly.
Yes, he is using Ren'py code, but ren'py allows you to use actual python, with functions
with arguments, objects with their values, arrays, etc. if you know what you are doing.
Can you make a basic visual novel with just what is there? Yes, you certainly can.
But Oni is clearly trying to do more advanced things, yet is keeping himself to using the default ren'py ways. That ends up in much more complex coding, something that is not really needed since ren'py allows you to use python codes anyway.
He is not limited because of ren'py, he is limited because he insists on being limited by the basic ren'py instead of using python itself.
And you
can make complex games with ren'py, you don't need to jump to Unity.
Just look at games like DokiDoki Literature Club, which made plenty of complex systems even if the player won't be able to appreciate most of them. And also the fan mod Monika After Story.
And even here, Kunoichi Trainer has many mods made to be downloaded through being a patron. Something way out of the scope of Rogue-Like Evolution, since as Prime said some time ago just to add a choice to say "Hello There" and the girl to reply with "General Kenobi" would need you to change... forgot right now if 340 or 430 lines of code, but as you can see it is a ludicrous number of lines needed to change just for this.
