.Well, a bit of a spoiler maybe... but no, he'll be very much alive, but he won't be with his wife anymore... and nothing bad will happen to him.
I’ll add a skip, but in the next versions I’m still deciding whether to stick with the Ren’Py game style or change it.Is it possible to skip this stupid mini-game somehow? Such features simply kill all desire to play due to the stupidity and unplayability of the task
Thank you very much, no offense, but in my opinion, such things only spoil the impression of the game. But the game is very pleasant, thanks for the work, I wish you health and good luck
.Damn, you guys really hate sandbox lol. I honestly didn’t know it was that bad. I don’t like grinding either, but my idea was small achievements to progress the story—his new job, helping at home, and rebuilding the car. But I’m really considering scrapping that now. Thank you for your opinion, this has been very enlightening. I was too stuck in my own head!Just finished playing, quick thoughts...

I was even enjoying this.... now... it's all garbage. What a waste.

For me personally, the problem with the sandbox is that the characters most often do not interact with each other, they each exist in their own vacuum.
Can't speak for everyone but for me personally, I've seen way too many sandbox games fall into unplayable hellholes, got burned too many times and now whenever i see "sandbox", i already expect a disaster.
To be brutally honest, the grinding is the part I'm less worried about, SaveEditor solves that problem. Or URM.
IMO sandbox games aren't terrible as long as they aren't grindy which is why most people don't like them on here, I definitely think it's wise to skip the mini games though. Kinetic with choices could be a good option too. Overall I think this game has a lot of potential though and I think you should keep going.
You’ve really opened my eyes to a very big problem, and I’m truly sorry. As a Game Designer, we follow certain rules of work and reward, but I completely overlooked the very issues you mentionedTo be brutally honest, the grinding is the part I'm less worried about, SaveEditor solves that problem. Or URM.
What I absolutely HATE about Sandbox is the time waste of looking for where the Dev (the guy I usually end up calling, THAT FUCKER) hid the next bit of story... I am OLD. I don't have many years left. Wasting them looking in a map or a succession of rooms where the next event triggers... is simply unbearable.
Mini-Games? Dude, I am 61 years old, I have an early onset of something similar to Parkinsons, my eye-hand coordination is gone, I have involuntary spasms of my fingers, I have bad eyesight that isn't correctable because of the shape of my corneas. That "Easy" one took me 4 tries... May your mother forgive me for the names I called her, I am sure she was a much nicer person than what I called her.
I am going to let you in in a secret, when you are making a game to be played by others, don't presume that they are copies of you. Ages and physical capacities will vary, enormously. Your "Easy" was a nightmare.
Sandbox, as in an event oriented game, ceases to be about a story, and about what event the "Player" was able to find and trigger. From that point on, there's really no story. When Devs decide to go the Sandbox route, they are confessing that they don't want to write a story anymore. They only want to play hide and seek with the events, wasting theirs and ours time in a patience test to see who gives up first. Me. I'm the one that gives up first.
Please do scrap it. And the Mini-Games too... or at least give us the consideration of being able to not play them.
Peace
Thank you for your feedback. I’ll give it a week of thought. It’s never wise to make decisions right after a release (I’ve learned that the hard way…).
That all can still be done in visual novel style as part of the story along with linear scenes with the love interests that the player has accepted. If they turn down a Li, it skips to the next scene in the story
