All of this, but also, SpaceCorps is already such an extremely simple and easy to play VN, I don't really understand how anyone can struggle with it. You have an in-game walkthrough, no actual game-overs, 'good choice' and 'bad choice' sounds, and all of the basic RenPy features on top of that (rollback, autosave, etc.). And just through writing alone, it's really obvious which choices lead to good or bad outcomes, all you need is some basic media literacy.If it's a little complicated to get to the best/ideal scene then maybe a sub optimal scene is fine if you aren't using a walkthrough. You want the optimization without the guide. That's not reasonable. This does make the game more complex to develop, but they've been doing very well so far.
That would be a fine approach but a) the kink blacklist operates more under 'we will give you less' as opposed to 'we will give you none' and I'd say the system is a fine compromise showing that there aren't any full blacklists. B) It makes the game very distinct
A constant and strict telegraph of game overs hurts exploration IMO. Also, there are a lot of game over screens but the reused game over screens are far more common than the unique game over screens. You should be running into game overs naturally unless you know what to do.
No, a) earn your scenes but also b) you have the images folder in the game where all the pics are stored. Also, it's OK if games are made in years and take less than a day to beat. This is a fine way to design a game.
Well, I assume by your username (lmao) that this kind of dynamic really appeals to you, but I'm personally not a big fan. There is a difference between just generally being confident, smart, and resourceful (which the MC is sort of progressing towards in the main story) and being a smug cruel little shit like he was in that Rick scene (and same goes for the Cole dom/bully routes). Just offering a perspective from someone who likes the MC as he is, lol.Like please watch the crush his ego scene and tell me you wouldn't rather play as that MC. I really like that guy, why isn't HE the main character as opposed to the bumbling twindlebrain we've gotten up until now?
