Chapter 2 Beta
Differences from the public release:
-Animation in low quality with bugs.
-No minigames.
So no minigames is a bad thing? If I want to play minigames I'll pick up my phone. If you want to write minigames, maybe you should write them for a phone. Who knows, I might even download one and play it... but I doubt it.
Minigames have been a huge waste of time, both for the player and the dev. To interrupt the flow of the story, just to play some stupid minigame, is aggravating to a lot of players.
How much of that time used to code those minigames could have been better spent to "perfect" something else in the game? Like maybe the translation, or finding a proofreader?
How many of those minigames are going to dump you out of the game like the quiz in the first chapter? Wholly unacceptable.
Good luck with it.
No matter how good the story or the renders end up being, I think I'll take a pass from now on. Your perfection just got wasted, at least on me.
Mini games can add to gameplay for some, just as hunting for extra pics can do for some. If you want to put the time in to add them to the game, that is ok and up to you anyway as the dev. Just there are also a lot of people who do not like to solve a puzzle or have to have quick reflexes to be able to enjoy their story they like to see. (Not even talking that some people have good medical reasons why their reflexes are not as good or some colors can be hard to see.)View attachment 1285479
I prefer to focus on the story myself. Make an interesting story with beautiful pictures (cinema-style). But for some reason I thought that adding mini-games to the game could diversify the process (although somewhat prolong it). After all, a visual novel is not only a narrative, but also a game.
After all, here are the results of a poll on the Russian site:

As you can see, most people want mini-games in visual novels (they must be weird peoples )
Naturally, mini games should not just be inserted for their own sake. They have to be inserted into the story. And there should be some sort of reward for completing them. For example, additional pictures in the gallery.
So I made my own poll at the top of the thread. All indifferent to this topic, please vote:

That last sentence just said it all:I prefer to focus on the story myself. Make an interesting story with beautiful pictures (cinema-style). But for some reason I thought that adding mini-games to the game could diversify the process (although somewhat prolong it).

An anonymous poll, so skewed to one side that it almost looks as if someone ran a bot to get their own way. It's an old trick that has skewed many a poll, but not usually so badly.After all, here are the results of a poll on the Russian site:

You know one of the easiest way to tell a vn is made by russians is that it has tedious badly done and meaningless minigames that except for them, everyone hates.View attachment 1285479

It only gives a recap of Chapter 1, not the gameplay. It's exclusively Chapter 2.Download this latest version, and start a new game.
Hmmm, I'll need to ask my wife how she was born then.Fun fact - in Soviet Union there was no sex.
Oh sorry, I hadn't downloaded this update yet, how does it work then?It only gives a recap of Chapter 1, not the gameplay. It's exclusively Chapter 2.
They are personal tastes, I don't see how it can be useful to history, but if they are done right, ok.People complain about minigames, but if they are done right they do not take anything away from the game. Just look the most popular game on the site, it has tons of minigames.
