Wait, 25% script done?
This will take over a year from the last update
There are many parts of an update of which the script is only one.
Story boarding. What do I want to happen. How will scenes play out.
Posing assets in DAZ. Creating the scenes visuals. Probably the longest to finish most of the time.
Rendering the scenes. Taking the posed files and rendering them. Doing quality control as well.
With the renders done writing the dialog for the scenes can be easier as you can put the renders behind the text you're writing.
Scripting both renders and dialog into renpy.
Proof reading the script file.
Adding more or changing existing renders and making changes to dialog as needed.
Internal bug testing.

The '25% script is done' is not an over all progress percentage.

and then pass it on to our friend Darax to translate it into Spanish... hahahahahahahahaha.
Undoubtedly doing all that takes a lot of work that is not seen and that people don't understand many times.
I just say cheer up and hope for a great update again.

Cheats can cause bugs. Post your save and I'll take a look.

My first impression of the game:

WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE THE OPTION TO DO SOMETHING IF THE CHARACTER JUST SAYS 'WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO IT?!'


Seriously. I click 'Take a closer look', character says 'why would I want to take a closer look?'. I click on a cupboard and get 'why would I want to go through her stuff?'

FUCK the main character, I hate games that give you an option to do something but when you try they say 'oh, i dont think I should'. Also games that act as if they're giving you a choice but there is only one option to chose from. Why make it a choice?!

I will keep playing the game for a more educated opinion, but the game loses a lot of points already with this bullshit.

...Havent even finished writing it and another one appeared: the game won't let you go to warehouse until you click on a family picture at home. I guess game dev is really fucking pleased with himself and his exposition writing skills.


And the main character is driving a fucking Piaggio... This game wants me to hate it.

Wait... 'Im too young to drink'? The game said all characters are over 18...

In the states the drinking age is 21.

As far as the false options go it sounds like you haven't finished the intro yet if you still needed to click on family picture.

No, no I have not, and only made it few days in before deciding to give up on this one. It's just terribly written in my opinion, especially after playing The Redburns.

This is one of my favorite games. But thanks for the recommendation of The Redburns. I will check it out. :)

Guess we have different preferences. This seems like the creator tried to make a sandbox game but couldn't be bothered to actually code all sort of outcomes and possibilities so just slaps your hand when you try to do something he didn't finish.

I...have you actually played adventure games before? Like, at all?

The reason why it feels like an incomplete sandbox game...is because it's not a sandbox game nor was it meant to be. One of the earliest lessons that game developers had was that, sometimes, you can limit or outright sacrifice gameplay if it helps set or develop the characters in a game. It's why cutscenes exist at all.

You are, in effect, doing the equivalent of critizising the intro to Half-life 1 because it's 4 minutes of you being "trapped" in a train while the game takes you through a few panoramic scenes of the place where you were going to be playing in. It sets up a few things, like the fact that the MC is theoretical physicist, works in an underground experimental complex, the people in charge have an AWEFUL safety procedures or records, and the the place is HUGE.

You, on the other hand, would be mad because you weren't shooting people within the first few seconds of starting the game. :unsure:

It's fine that you don't like it and that this is your opinion but none of it is actually legitimate criticism.

The Redburns is a solid game but be warned it's been on hold for a long time.

There's sort of a middle ground between sand box and VN I think the dev was going for but I take your meaning.
I can you that each releases fills out the sand box a little more. The dev has been great about taking suggestions on that point. For example the dialog for the scenes where you peak on the girls masterbaiting in their rooms changes as the story for each girl progresses giving the player a small reward to repeat the scenes (some inner monolog from the girl about recent events).
If you've got some things you'd like to see improved there's a decent shot it'll make it into a future release.
