That how the American's spell it :p Checking for spelling mistakes is low on the ladder as most people who play the game speed click through the game in 5 minutes... When you release your own game and spend hours adding dialogue and then you get the famous "only 5 minutes of content!!" yep fun times...

Funny thing, I used to be a proofreader for porn movies but got replaced by A.I. and also the pages were always struck together so it made it hard... very hard.... to do my work.
Não, não gastas...

# You don't spend hours adding dialogue. You may spend a lot of time thinking about the storyline and screenplay, the events but writing it down is quick and there's no excuse for so many mistakes... That post alone takes less than 2 minutes to make and you still weren't able to correct it. It's true I skip most of the text but bumping into so basic mistakes is quite cringe (yeah I said "cringe")

Graphics and text alone will always contain little time for the player. You can add mini-games to increase this game time. For example, puzzles like in agent 17. This does not require too serious implementation but drastically increases the length of the game.
Não des ideias...

# We don't need more grinding and dragging. Gameplay, long or short, should be on the point (storyline) and about fun (exciting progression/build up). That's why BBS had so much potential - so many exciting events for each character... Every time you find a new event, what do you want to do next? Play a mini game or find the next event? Let's not reinvent the wheel...

It was a simple tip on how to increase the length of the game so that there will be no complaints that the game takes 2 minutes. It will definitely take less time than rendering a new scene. Will you get five 'exciting' events in a year that take five minutes and be satisfied? I don't. I want a game, not a slideshow.

Não é um slideshow...

# If you remove the minigames from all BBS games you still get the game, not a slideshow. But I got to realize we're maybe talking about slightly different things. You must be talking about the "minigames" that allow progression inside an event... I get those and they work well for scene buildup. "Lucy study" comes to mind. Even getting mom drunk with cocktails. I don't see those as minigames but gameplay. Another thing is popping soap bubbles to get Liza's makeup. No thx...

Of course, the mini-game should be intelligently added to the plot. For example, opening doors, locks, hacking, etc.

Fazendo sentido na historia, está tudo...

# When it makes sense (aligned with story), I'm in. Artificial time waisters, I'm out. Take the shoplifters, for example. It looks like a minigame but it makes sense in the story unfolding... (If it had been continued I mean)

Old gallery unlocker doesn't work, when playing scene there is an error, universal gallery unlocker doesn't work either. Is there a working unlocker, or maybe you have a full save?

Has it occurred to you that maybe that gallery really doesn't have anything to show, considering how the game is progressing?
