I saw the screenshots for this game and was impressed so I downloaded it. Then it loaded up in Macromedia flash.... I'm just going to say it, I think the game should be remade in Renpy. It's an engine that is comfortable for a great many people familiar with the genre and it's fairly 'open', so that people can be more reassured it's not been messed with.
Personally I'm not going to be playing an flash games, but I also don't play any RPGM or HTML games either, so you can view that however you want.
when i write my opinion that game need RenPy i get facepalms from dad`s little suckers ! Flash RPGM and HTML are shit not games !
I understand how Ren'Py is generally done far better than a lot of engines, especially with out-of-the-box features. I'm not going to facepalm anyone for having an opinion. However, while I agree you have the freedom to play or reject any games you want, I do find it silly that something like non-Ren'Py means a game gets rejected.
I even get that a lot of people don't like RPGM mechanics, so at least it's more understandable because they
almost always play in similar styles (players must wander around to click on things that may or may not interact, the games often have fighting that isn't really necessary or appropriate for the story, etc.). So rejecting something that pretty much always has the same gameplay style makes some sense (although I still disagree with that attitude). But Flash, HTML, Unity, Unreal — all rejected because they aren't Ren'Py? That just seems extraordinarily silly to me. You're free to have your opinions, and I'm free to think your view is overly restrictive and strange.
Indeed, the save option could be better.
You can save in any of the slots (1-8) - you just have to drag your cursor to the right side and you will see the list. Unfortunately nothing highlighting which slots are filled and which aren't. There's also no dialogue box/question when you overwrite an older save.
The save files created can be found numbered in the Save folder.
Usually when finishing the version I use the last slot, so I remember next time where to continue.
I definitely agree with this. As an alternative to what you do, I just go to the
\save folder and look at file info. Whatever has the latest date would be the last save I used. I definitely think there should
at least be a warning before overwriting as well as some visual indicator that a slot has been used already.
