VN Ren'Py Wet Sand [v0.7.6f] [Likho Games]

[Jacowboy]

You may be right, but we're using the classic for vn scheme, where we have static images, sprites and a dialog box. If we don't write the vn tag, then which one will more accurately reflect the essence?

uhm, well most games like this just have the purple ren'py tag, from what I've seen, so I'd recommend doing that too.

also, about the scheme, I get what you mean, but on this site it kinda means something else... I'm sure you can safely use the visual novel tag on steam, for example, but in here the "VN" tag is a lot more specific.

also also, that scheme also applies to RPGs and other types of games... it was born out of older game design limitations, so plenty of different types of games have used it... it's more a case of the first VNs also adopting it... but anyways, neither here or there =P

Renpy tag is just about the engine. It has literally nothing to do with what type of game this is. And dude why are you so bothered? Tons of visual novels have freeroam sections and are still visual novels. This is a visual novel for 90% of the game and doesn't include any of the typical stuff people who are actually looking for sandbox games cares about nor does it have anything that most people who don't like sandbox games look away from. I'm been lurking through this convo for a while and I can not understand why you are being so pedantic about this.


The VN tag. is fine for this game.

Who's talking about "sandbox"?

People looking for VNs usually ain't looking for stuff with a lot of mini-games and p&c elements, which this game is full of, regardless of what you define as sandbox or not.

I'm not bothered and I'm not being pedantic, I'm just telling the dev so he doesn't keep answering the same questions over and over and over again, which WILL happen, since it happened to me too... but of course, y'all can do what you like, not my problem... you can go back to lurking now

Literally the most popular game on this site is listed as VN and has Mini games and P&C elements. Infact a lot of the popular VN tagged games on this site do. Nobody cares about that espically if mini games are optional like they are here.

The current tags listed here are fine because multiple more popular and well known games have the exact same tags. So yes you are being pedantic as well as being factually wrong.

Wow it's like you're trying really hard to be dense and picking a stupid fight to boot... okay then, whatever, I don't care... it's up to the dev anyways.

How am I being dense? You picked your own definition and then decided to generlize it even though most people don't feel that way and don't care. You are wrong, the tags are pretty typical and a lot of VN tag games have optional minigames. There is nothing unusual here that needs to jutify changing the tags.
