is she using her powers to float while doing that? girl gets freaky
I personally prefer if you can friend-zone some characters, due to realism. I'm not one to want to date more than one girl in a game. And I'm not shaming anyone for doing so, polyamorous relationships can work it just takes a lot of trust from each person in the relationship and towards each person in the relationship.
Oh, I'm referring to logistically. Having the option to fail quests or choose a romantic relationship later doesn't prevent platonic relationships. It's an option, after all. But when you're talking about making a game, you want to make sure that, logistically, you don't deadlock what you don't want deadlocked. It's a fine line to walk between having something always available and locking someone out of content. Like, let's say you have a platonic relationship with Jean in chapter 1. You later pursue a romantic relationship in chapter 2. Are the romantic scenes/dialogue/events/etc. that you could have seen in chapter 1 forever gone? Are there scenes/dialogue/events/etc. that you can ONLY see if you start a romantic relationship in chapter 2? Are there scenes/events/dialogue/etc. that you can only see when you don't ever pursue a romantic relationship?
I don't have a problem with a player missing content if they willfully choose not to participate in certain content.
This is an option in all renpy games to my knowledge.
Possibly. We're working with angles and stuff.
I've repeatedly requested that this be a feature but have been turned down each time.
This is my reasoning.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
This is what I'm saying, If I want to just remain friends with a girl in order to pursue a relationship with one, for example in my current play-through atm it's Laura, it doesn't make sense if I just want to remain friends with rogue or Jean, and the character saying 'i need time' could just be an added element, yes, but there should be a 'I just want to be friends' button, and also as, idk about you or anyone else, but I feel like that button where the 'I need time' is is a little long imo...kind of a too long didn't read moment...I feel guilty about it as I respect a game that's certainly pretty solid with some lore and stuff like that, I read all that stuff in the games I play...however it's a whole unnecessary paragraph of text that can be summed up in a sentence or less...
Respect. It's a bold move. Doubly so if the game ends up needing a lot of time/grinding (pertaining to the replay-ability.). Though, a favor if it's okay. Ask RonChon that, when determining which dialogue variants depending on status, don't do a not conditional check, but rather a variable existence check. And, at the end of each possibility, don't do a jump but rather do a fall through. This way, I can (more easily) write into the cheat a way for people to see all possibilities if that's what they want. I'd completely understand if it's not possible. This is just me hoping.
Me: "Some dialogue"
if Laura.isChapterOneRomantic:
Laura: "I'm the best at what I do"
jump ContinueDialoge
else if NOT Laura.isChapterOneRomantic:
Laura: "What I do is stalk you"
jump ContinueDialogue
Label ContinueDialogueMe: "Some dialogue"
if Laura.isChapterOneRomantic:
Laura: "I'm the best at what I do"
if Laura.isChapterTwoRomantic:
Laura: "What I do is stalk you"
jump ContinueDialogue
Label ContinueDialogueThis would give the game further replay value while we wait for updates, I'd be totally down for replaying a game if there are scenes or dialogue I missed out on because I wanted to play a certain run. Like if I only want Rogue and reject everyone else, it would be neat if I'm kinda rewarded for it (a secret sex scene, a gift, a new pet name, or even outfit that is only exclusive for those who stuck to that one girl). Each chapter the reward could be different. It won't block you out of the other content, but you'd be free to be friends with the other candidates without having to constantly have romance dialogue if you opt out of it.
This is such a good idea. Secret dialogue and rewards for a doing a one character only run is such an amazing idea. I absolutely f*ck with it.
You have to unlock those things in the fooling around menu first.
I'm sorry to disappoint but I'm unlikely to make the first modification - it's a pretty major code overhaul (there are probably already ~1000 conditional statements gating dialogue/scenes) and change in my coding logic for something that I think would be a niche interest. it's also just not efficient, elif and else save so much time and space
The first modification? If you mean:
Me: "Some dialogue"
if Laura.isChapterOneRomantic:
Laura: "I'm the best at what I do"
jump ContinueDialoge
else if NOT Laura.isChapterOneRomantic:
Laura: "What I do is stalk you"
jump ContinueDialogue

As someone who's been advocating for Wanda in RLE for years it would've been interesting to see her a version similar to her Evo variation appear in this game, but as someone who was a big fan of Wolverine and The X-Men and her in it, which is closer to her comic counterpart, I've no qualms about a more comic focused variation for her as well. The characters in the game seem to be handled well enough so far that I can't really lose with either direction.
When you say this, do you mean Jean's personality leaning more into the comics? Because her default everyday outfit is the same her Evo outfit.
Personality, yea. We take inspiration for outfits and a character's look from both shows and comics, no outfit is off limits.
