I mean, Koda has demonstrated none of those traits except the "experience" one, and only on a technicality.

If the scene was as unpleasant to play as the playtesters said, then shouldn't Bo Wei have rewritten it for you to retranslate?

In any case, I'm not blaming you or putting the fault on you, because that BS should never have been added to your responsibility lists last minute, but next time writing a scene is needed and the options are "ask Bo Wei", "ask Koda" and "ask random people on F95 if they know how to write that scene", then the "ask Koda" option shouldn't even be considered.


EDIT:

Does "writing dialog for games" mean having technical knowledge to make the dialog fit RPG maker? Or just being able to write dialog for porn games?

If it's the later then I'm sure a *lot* of fans would have been enthusiastically willing to give it a shot. At least I would be.
Considering the last time someone wrote dialogue in regards to ToT in fangame form where the flanderization was through the roof even if intentional, it would be nice if there was a genuine bonafide dedicated fan who would write dialogue that doesn't feel comedic in an unintentional sense and feels and sounds accurate to the actual narrative to the game.

Thats crazy you're expected to write entire scenes :skull:, i didn't realize it was that bad. Your writing is amazing from what ive seen, but theres no way you should have to basically add writing to your unpaid intern position alongside everything else you do. Can't he find someone in the Discord? Theres a lot of game creators in there last time i checked, they could try the Fonexo (CoC or Tits) method of getting written scenes for these situations if its that bad.
Mmm, no, the thing is, no one expects me to do that. My writing is different because I use a lot of descriptions that won't fit in 4 lines of RPGM, so it doesn't fit

Yeah, unfortunately TOT's level of technicality is pretty high, so regular dialog writing won't be possible

Secondly, they are ordinary players, and if it turned out that the majority is not satisfied, it means that the community will not be satisfied either. Moreover, the scene turned out to be not only bad, but in a way dangerous (I'll probably talk more about it after the release).
Dangerous?! Please do share more info about the scene once f10 comes out, this has me really curious, and thanks for your transparency regarding your work, it's infinitely better than being left in the dark wondering what is going on

What is the decorating process in RPGM, if you don't mind me asking?
Basically, in the most complex instance, you have dozens of sprite sheets linked to an external map which gets referenced on objects placed in the map your building... It's just placing things like a dresser, pressing a few buttons for functionality then adding some logic/text, maybe linking a flag. You can prototype in minutes, and feature complete within an hour.

Oh yeah, i forgot about the rpgm plugin/script text additions..

Well, i can see a Rpgm user getting an already written scene then adding the relevant commands to it before import to the game. Could that work?

Yeah, that's about right, but what I really meant was adding graphics where needed (like the appearance of a picture), some choreography that would need fixing, like character movements, changing their sprites. But yeah, this job isn't so easy that you can do it in 10 minutes

Well, that's the privilege of the playtesters, they trade the pleasure of the game for early access.
Secondly, they are ordinary players, and if it turned out that the majority is not satisfied, it means that the community will not be satisfied either. Moreover, the scene turned out to be not only bad, but in a way dangerous (I'll probably talk more about it after the release).
Thank you for providing those informations. If you don't mind me asking... dangerous for who ? Bo Wei ? I assume it was kind of illegal

damn what a pleasure. Simply an explanation of what is happening. "Hey, I said it would be ready for day X, but it's not ready for XXX..."
And now, no more is asked, the problems arise and are understandable, if this had happened from the beginning with Bo and Koda the movie would have changed a lot, (I also understand that if they didn't do it it was simply because there were quite a few months in which it just wasn't working).

It is hoped that koda or related authors can pay attention to the content in the same direction, and can continue the setting to reduce the time of conception, improve efficiency and be well known. just as Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba QQ浏览器截图20240704215243.png
