Been there, done that, and got depressed - then did it again watching Edgerunners.
Am I masochistic or just a magnet for the torment in the darkest pit of the soul? I can't tell anymore.
Though probably explains why I am in this thread...
So, you're telling me that this thread is some kind of foreign retro punk dystopian horror detailing the ascent of man to his ultimate doom of mediocrity in an uncaring society?
Sounds like you are taking this far too deep man...
Having read as much of this thread as possible while retaining the little sanity I have left, I have come to the conclusion that this thread contains a carefully constructed narrative story which incorporates the angst of loneliness, the joy of friendship, the ecstasy of being and the trauma of...
every few hours or so. Not that I find much new - though sometimes I find a hidden gem that I overlooked before.
I have a lot of games I follow so updates are resonably frequent for me and sometimes I can get 4 or 5 updates in the space of a day.
Ok, I'm beginning to like this wird stuff - that or my brain is already melting.
So anyone use an AI image/animation generation tool?
What does "Crazy batshit bananas on acid in a bingo ball machine " produce?
Actually - probably not a good idea to post any ai generated stuff - hell knows what...
The term randomness seems a little neutral to me given what I am seeing. Crazy batshit bananas on acid in a bingo ball machine would be closer I think. No sure though. I feel if I read any more my brain may melt.
I like character relations to be built up over time regardless of incest. Building sexual tension does a lot more for me than a quickie in the toilets (which seems to be a popular trope).
Having to develop the relationship through choices and actions for me make the best VN.
Easy one for me: Haley's Story.
Started out as possibly the most erotic VN I'd seen - high tension, slow buildup then totaly ruined aboutr 1/3rd way through. Its like they changed writers. Tone direction and even plot changed. After that (and the huge backlash) it never recovered; multiple plot...
I liked some of the early Flash games, janky renders and all.
I think the presentation of the story is key to a good VN and that could, theoretically be done in most engines, however...
I've mostly focused on Renpy as I can fix issues (except for sandboxes... curse them), mod them to restore...
Ok start - nice link in to The List, however one of the first choices is pretty much broken: Asking whether something is A or B and then giving you options of "Yes" or "No" does not make any sense. (yes for A,?Yes for B?...) I had to use URM to find out which option gave the answer I wanted.
Agree with the desire for dialog options to be more clear. I hate it when there is not enough context around the choice for you to make a really meaningful decision . These obscure yes/no options which actualy change the character/LI/Plot bug the hell out of me - especially as you say, when the...
I played this early on and thought it was a little meh. However going back to it now as the story develops it is a lot more interesting. More story development and I like the conflict between the characters - so I'd say if you passed on this before it might well be worth another look.
