silver is like a lightning compared to akabur.
the question is, though.. they added girls and then do nothing new with them for idk how long exactly, years on some.. except outfits.. why add a girl when you have literally nothing to write about it?I'm betting this guy's also the sort of guy who looks at a comment going "Man I wish more games did X" and says "WeLl WhY dOnT yOu WrItE x YoUrSeLf?"
Speaking as someone who literally just wrote a several thousand word harry potter fanfiction in reddit comments on a whim, fuck those guys. Writing is hard. A lot of people do not have the time or energy to write it themselves, which is probably why you lot haven't tried and found out that writing it sucks the enjoyment out of reading it.
The long and short of it is that when the current team took over working on the mod, the cast of girls were already a part of it. So the team was left with the question, 'Do we keep these girls, even if we don't necessarily like them, or do we remove them and start from scratch?' For better or for worse, the decision was made to keep the current cast. If the team had decided to start fresh, a lot of things would be different. For one thing, Astoria wouldn't have been included at all.the question is, though.. they added girls and then do nothing new with them for idk how long exactly, years on some.. except outfits.. why add a girl when you have literally nothing to write about it?
You're kind of proving your own point there really. Mirror stories exist, but when's the last time anyone submitted one? The same people who, presumably, have ideas for a quick scene or two should be willing to contribute to the mirror stories, and yet we rarely get any new ones.if they lack writers, they simply can ask around them communities, in discord and here, for starters.
like this, "hey guys, many ask for content, write us some stories for a scene with this girl!"
and then, "short stories, please, not just one liners with a wish."
i'd assume they will have scenes in a timely manner, enough to sort out what fits and is doable. i mean hell, they have quite long scenes (in game time) in the mirror, contributed ones. something should be doable.
true, there aren't new mirros stories.The long and short of it is that when the current team took over working on the mod, the cast of girls were already a part of it.

mirror stories can be made of any length and can be created as mods and posted for use. There are instructions on how to do this on the discord and you can post them there or here for anyone to enjoy. The modding community is very friendly on the discord and can answer questions, mods and devs also try and help.true, there aren't new mirros stories.
the thing about them is, i see a difference between those and some single scenes; the mirros stories are quite a bit longer, pretty much complete stories around a idea/theme, start to finish, which takes considerably more effort than one scene. i would surely lose focus over such amount.
if you'd tell me "ok next is this girl and we'd like to go along that line" i might cook up a bunch of small plot-lets (is that even a word), on a take-or-leave base. i'm lucky enough, retired and neither homeless nor starving, means i don't have to do work for a living anymore, which leaves me some hour a day, or two, to think up some snippets. waifu even agreed to proof read.. except she really hates Tonks, idk why.
i'm just not that focused anymore, to come up with something complete, script and code and all that, for the longer stuff.
Mirror stories get to do pretty much anything. Do you want Susan to jerk off Snape onto Cho's face while recalling the time she sucked off her older brother's friend at a birthday party? Write it. Want an all girl orgy where the girls mock Genie's dick size? Go ahead. The events of a mirror story can effectively exist as non-canonical, self contained pieces of content. They can be any length, from one quick B/G scene to a full novella with a compelling narrative. The act of writing them might take longer, but they're easier to write, because you won't have to think about things like 'Hold on, has Hermione even agreed to suck Genie's dick before this? I can't have her be a total cumslut if, in terms of progression, she's still weirded out when I ask her to stick her tongue out'. Plus, you won't have to try and match the game's existing writing style, and make it 'sound' right, at least not as much as if you were writing for the main game. Which believe me, can be tricky.true, there aren't new mirros stories.

I didn't miss the point. I'm explaining why 'Just ask for scenes' isn't the easy way forward you seem to think it is. Regardless, we know the next update is Luna focused. Regardless, I suggest that anyone who thinks they can write a suitable scene, keeping in mind everything I've already said, go ahead. The next update is Luna focused. If you write a good enough entry, and it fits, maybe the team can focus on other efforts, and the game can progress a bit faster. It's simple.looks like you missed my point. i'm not about mirror, or mods.
i'm about progress in the game. the girls are there. mods or mirror is not what i suggested. likely y'all got me wrong there. my bad.
also, won't ever be in a discord, or the likes, ever.
preferrably we stay ungoogled.
want me to write up something, just PM. i don't bite.
Don't listen to this man. I regularly recieve payments of millions of dollaridoos.In late 2019, after almost a year of free work, I got my first paycheck. A whooping £250 pounds (About $300 USD). It wasn't much, not even enough to cover the electricity cost (and coffee lol), but I was very happy with it, as it allowed me to take some days off work in the next month, and focus solely on the project. Thankfully my daily job employer was very accomodating. Other remaining members received similar compensation.
Pretty much this. Astoria was a hold over from the days of yore when the game was originally being 'developed', and I'm using that term very loosely, by the /stg/ threads on 4chan. It was a much more anything goes time, as there was no real rhyme or reason to what got added, when it got added, or even if it fit with the rest of the game. Certain anons on 4chan being what they are, they liked the idea of having a straight up loli in the game, and really played into that aspect of her character. For a good amount of time now - years really - she's just been a petite girl instead, which everyone on the team is more comfortable with. which in turn means she actually gets writing.early astoria was little girl who sat on genie's lap (well on his dick) and read book to learn imperio spell.
