Is Lady Aspen's work trying to deal with the inconsistencies with events with her AI? As much as I love the game and SAZMOD, things like Davide taking Alexis' anal virginity after you already did and mother being calm and tired and making like the gangsters are just annoying after catching her in the kitchen and basement scenes are just too jarring to enjoy the game properly.
I agree with you
Glave27. The inconsistencies are already being addressed in bits and pieces as I go. I've gone over this in a lot of previous posts in the thread, but here is the gist of it.
The original game itself has those inconsistencies. When I first started creating this mod, it was just for personal use and I was just cleaning up the grammar a bit. Then I started making more scenes and ended up sharing it with a couple people. Eventually I started this thread for everyone that wanted to try it. This was earlier in the games development and the game was lacking in variation and content for all the paths. So my Twisted Paths (Love to Corruption and Corruption to Love Scenes) and the Darker Paths (NTR Branches) came into being. As first it was just about getting more content out. But now that the game has developed more, those inconsistencies are even more glaring.
As such, I have already been making a lot of changes through out the code to help with that. There are dialogue differences based off of love or corruption point values and reaction events I've already added to the game. Such as the custom scene where Nicole denies Bruce any sex after you outed her, which I had added 2 versions before Saddog did (You can still view that scene in this version too as choice option at that time).
But there is still a ton to do to bring everything in line with itself. I've also been working on a full rewrite of the dialogue because in many part of game I was still trying to keep the tone and feel of the original dialogue in place. But I've decided to leave that behind so the tone and feel of each character can feel more consistent throughout the mod.
But there are a few things to keep in mind, such as Davide being unaware that you already took Alexis' virginity, so that aspect might stay in there with only the MC's reaction changing, such as correcting him in is inner dialogue to Davide if he's watching from behind the chairs in the basement. Or the fact that Nicole is in so much denial already, she acts like two different people. So she still might act like everything is all fine when she's trying to live her everyday life, even though you and her both know full well what she acts like during early morning kitchen encounters with Davide. But the goal will be to have that aspect more apparent through the writing.
Size of the mod is also something I need to take into account. I have easily tripled the dialogue at this point and the line count has gone from around 26 thousand lines of code in the original version to over 70 thousand lines of code for the mod. And I have drastically reduced line count in many areas by creating functions and custom screens to reduce repeated lines with only slight variations. So again, its just going to take a while.
This a good
post that goes into more detail dialogue and reaction changes I will be making overtime.
TL ; DR - I totally agree with you Glave27 and have been, and will continue to be, working on making the story as a whole more cohesive and reactionary to the scenes the player has viewed and the choices the player has made.
