Wow. I mean, such concise and contributive comments, it's amazing that nothing gets lost in translation through text. It's almost as if I could understand the nuance of message board commenting through the sheer choice of word. Bravo, Sir or Madame, Bravo!
Nope, we got none of that gay-ass women shit in this game. Some men just want to fuck blokes!
I'm not gay myself (Bi-man here)... but man I am not into the 'Pride' thing myself. Why the hell should I have pride in my specific sexuality? It's just one small, tiny, insignificant aspect of me... why place so much pride in it?
Good, but in many countries, cities, media, it's forbidden. My country "Brazil" is the one that kills most LGBT in the world. If you can despise the movement, it is because many have struggled to normalize this and many places. Here in Brazil 90% of Transgender people are abandoned and end up prostituting themselves, their life rate is 35 years.
Maybe this discussion belongs in the off-topic section, but I think the Pride thing has done a lot to needlessly antagonise people, particularly in religious countries like yours. Even in countries that have proper gay rights, they didn’t show up overnight or without hard work. It was always a matter of getting the majority to play along.
You already know that I'm gonna say it's fantastic update. Not because I'm cheesy, which I am, but because you know how awesome your game is.messages like this mean a lot. Thanks
Aaryn has said before that the intent is for consequences to become increasingly significant as the story progresses. I asked that before too and got a similar answer. Apparently the intent is to make them seem innocuous at first only to hit you like a bag of bricks much later.
Heya, first off: all feedback is taken constructively if intended constructively. That's the main reason i posted the original version of the game on the forums in the first place.
I don't expect you to change the mechanics just based off of my feedback. Maybe do a Patreon poll or something? Because like you said, I might be the only person with this opinion. Elaborating a bit on what I said earlier, say you have two renders A and B and you're switching back and forth between them to add some dynamism and you have two to three sentences per scene/transition. So the transition goes ABABABABABAB. Each time the scene changes, I look at the image to see if there's any detail that changed that I haven't seen before and then read two sentences before clicking on the next and check the image and read the next two sentences. There are places where one or two sentences or even a single word per scene is necessary for suspense, but I'm not talking about those instances. There are places in the game where the number of transitions could have been reduced by including more than two sentences per scene without changing the pace or tone. So if the transitions could have been reduced to ABABAB, readers would shift back and forth the image and text fewer times. It's similar to watching a foreign language movie with subtitles-you tend to miss bits of the visual and text sometimes. You can set your own pace in a visual novel like this but having just a couple of sentences per scene and switching between the same two images over a long period can cause visual and mental fatigue. Which is why I tend to speed read-look at certain keywords, stop where ever it looks interesting/important to read the whole thing and skip scenes that seem like fillers.
