i truly appreciate this game. it's a lovely, romantic story. Clearly, it's a labor of love. The only thing that would improve upon it is if someone can mod it to remove about half of the dialogue, it would make the experience so much more enjoyable...
Big problem with that is at that point it is no longer this game, but instead someone else's vision using the J..D's story as a base and their images. You can not cut words without changing the feel and flow of the story.
Where do you start, where do you end, what is necessary, and what is not. Even just having a conversation with someone small differences can change the entire meaning or conveyed feelings behind it.
Not to mention the shear size of the game. It took J..D years to make this game, and even if you cut out the time used on the visuals that is still a lot of time typing proof reading, and conceptualizing.
Not only would it be a slap in the devs face as for J..D the story they are writing is as can be seen playing the game more important to them then just making something to fap to. The sheer amount of work it would take is more then any Modder would be willing to do. At that point it would be more productive to make your own game instead of rewriting this one.
just looking at the rpy for the bathroom alone it is 17356 lines to go through not to mention making sure you don't screw anything up in the process. So also added debug time as well as the updates will override your work so anyone that would play your mod would be dependent upon it and wouldn't even be able to play a new update until you updated said mod. That would also mean waiting even longer past the public release date for the mod to be updated before you could play a new version.
After all that who is to say you would even like the modder's changes, or how much they would even change. At that point whoever is doing it is going to make it closure to there ideal story so if they dislike x (a cut here), and if they don't like how y happened. (a change there) As the stories are still ongoing they may even make a change that cause irreconcilable inconsistencies down the road. It is in there hands and they can and will do what they want with it.
I am not trying to single you out, and you are nowhere near the first to say this I am just at a mettle high at the moment so can better convey (I feel at least right now) my opinion on it all.
