God damn it,
camube. I can only echo
realjitter. The fuck happened to this thread?
Recommend me good stories to read.
A good story is a good story.
I can't really enjoy games with loli. My whole being feels revolted by it. The fact that I didn't get those feelings in Little Regina, is a testament to how not childish Foxy acts. Young, yes, but child, no.
Peace
Not sure if she counts as a loli but was borderline one at least.
I think it does. It is trying to sell to the loli crowd.
First off, the dev can name the town anything but he chose to name it with the word "Little" and "Regina". While there is actually a town name Regina, the dev doesn't have to pair it the word "Little". Or doesn't have to use a word that is usually a female name.
Secondly, the Jessie character is a soccer athlete. Making her has a very long hair and style it in a twin tail is not pragmatic. It would be more believable if Jessie has short hair, the shorter the better cuz she's already disadvantaged due to her diminutive size.
There are ways to make short height character doesn't look like they're under 20. Like Leaving DNA teacher character, though initially in Episode 1 looks like a teenager too, I think the dev tried to change that in future episodes. Honey Select in particular, is good for making characters with short height.
I don't know if it's a problem with DAZ or it's a deliberate choice by the developers but, whether it's Bare Witness baby atrocity at Episode 5, Leaving DNA's teacher character, or this Regina game soccer player character, all of them doesn't look like an adult with short height to me. They just look like kids.
I just gloss over those aspects, it is what it is.
Another example where I gloss over things would be Game of Hearts. I would like it so much more if 90% of the game is not about the MC's meticulous sexual actions with the female characters.
Thankfully the dev makes the intimate events have stats so we at least can use our head a bit on choosing actions that would increase stats. There's a gameplay to it.
I would read anything written by Game of Hearts writer cuz he's good at painting with words, and also cinematography. I want to see the progress of Game of Hearts main story and if I have to gloss over the Meredith, Meredith, Meredith scenes to get to it, that's just a price to pay.
I tried Little Regina but ended up dropping it. I didn't like the forced romance with the MC and foxy think that's her name.
Opposite to that, I like it more when games doesn't make me choose meaningless choices and instead just tell the story.
I like to make choices if it matters. If it doesn't matter and the writer has something to say, I like it more when they just move it along.
So I don't really mind when a game makes the MC like some character by default.
So, for example, instead of sodomizing to death a man with a baseball bat, you limit it to gut him out like a pig...
I haven't reach the baseball bat part. Looking forward to play that this weekend.
Earlier this week somebody posted something about a game needing awesome renders for having support, and I think this would be a good example of a game that does not have them, yet still has good support from the community.
Regina only has 40 paying members. Noping is still correct.
The fact that it has discussions on F95 means little if it doesn't convert to financial support for the dev.
I also appreciated that it is one of the few games where any other male than MC is not evil, stupid, gay, impotent, or a combination of the former.
This is one of my issue with AVN too.
It reduces my engagement a bit when the male friend character of the MC has no life. Cuz the world of the story feels less alive.
I dislike the fact that in AVN usually the male friend of the MC has no life of his own. He's just a "support" for the MC that is chained by "no NTR whatsoever" promise from the dev.
It doesn't make a realistic story when people are restricted from doing things. People have lives. Just because we read the story from the MC perspective, doesn't mean his friend shouldn't be able to date around.
That's why I like games like The Last Challenge (even though it's actually too early to say) cuz the male friend of the MC has his own life, or even better than TLC, Our Red String has 3 male friends of the MC that each has their own life. One of them being a nerd that doesn't get a lot of actions.
The closer a game is to being consistent to the world it sets into, the better it is for me.
And if it sets in the real world and in college at that, it takes me out if one, other people doesn't have lives, two, everyone fall for the MC in one playthrough.
I like the way writers like Noping do it with No Such Luck. If you make the MC behaves a certain way, only then will a person be attracted to the MC. That makes more sense to me and that was initially why I like BaDIK, before it turned into minigames galore.
I'm not opposed to minigames but the minigames is not even good. It's just a busy time waste.
I do think part of the storytelling that is enjoyable is that it takes this trope and really deconstructs it in the story. He isn't power hungry to have sex with others, infact it makes you feel for characters whose literal name is Qum. In fact that character is one of the sweetest characters in the story, to the point you will fight to protect her innocence. I think the Last sovereign does adult stories in a way that I enjoy, sex is considered a positive but not gratuitous way. I don't think there are many stories that have impacted me the same way as the world building in this story.
Ofcourse for people that want a story, this is not for them. There is heavy gameplay elements that is not everyone's cup of tea.
Yeah Last Sovereign and Demon Roots are two RPGM games that I am very looking forward to try one day. Maybe 2-3 years from now.
I like renpy cuz it's low time commitment. Most renpy AVNs are not that long, that's a plus.
While compare to that, whether it's Unity or RPGM, it takes more commitment to play them because the gameplay aspects adds to playing time. RPGM is RPG and RPG takes time. I do very much want to read those 2 games though, cuz I've heard praises of Last Sovereign writer.
