Preference Settings
Added 2022-02-26 01:04:53 +0000 UTCHey, folks!
As I'm working on housekeeping, a thought occurred to me...
Are there any settings missing from the preferences menus that you would like? Or any features you guys would like to see?
I try to keep the settings at a minimum, because I feel like there isn't much needed for a visual novel, but as I was thinking about how to redo the preference screens, I thought I'd ask you all to get your thoughts!
Just keep in mind I'm looking for suggestions/ideas here, and it doesn't mean I'm gonna implement it all.

Sorry I'm a little late but I just thought of somthing. Once a player has beaten all the routes and unlocked all the images in the gallery you could do a NUDE MODE!!! You get to play the game but literally everyone is naked (Excluding scenes with minors and characters like Spencer's little brothers, Richard's daughter's, and any other minors of course.) I'm talking Maria, Minor Characters like Archibald or Tai, route specific characters like Hugo or Bandit. It would one hell of an incentive to replay the game.

2022-02-27 11:04:36 +0000 UTCI dunno how complex this might be, but maybe after a first playthough of each route, being able to see a sort of flow chart for each character to see things we could miss. Would definitely be helpful with you having other characters overlap into other routes now. Plus knowing thresholds for getting different outcomes/endings would be very helpful to people who are looking to find your new content. Again it's just a thought.

2022-02-27 09:30:07 +0000 UTCI wouldn't mind like a behind the scenes pop-up feed from like Dev commentary or what other characters would be thinking in certain moments with lil thought bubble popups with chibis of the characters poking their head in from the side of the screen. But that's like... a whole extra thing.

2022-02-27 08:02:31 +0000 UTCI would suggest being able to see how much money the protagonist has and maybe add more events where he can make more money to buy his boyfriend gifts.

2022-02-27 02:45:25 +0000 UTCThe locked characters I'm adding into my want to redo the gallery, haha. They will all be there eventually! I'm not sure I understand about the music selection bit. There's a music gallery, but I don't follow what you're saying exactly. The legacy gallery will not come back. It bloats my files, so I'll be putting that stuff somewhere else one day for folks to look at. Believe it or not, there is code I started to implement for a "Streamer Mode" that would help with that. There's just... a lot to watch out for, and it's got a looooot of work to be done still (I don't want a dick to randomly flash up because I missed something).

2022-02-26 22:20:01 +0000 UTCSomething I never considered in regards to accessibility. The auto-forward is a common request, so I'll have to fix that.
DyneWulf
2022-02-26 22:16:29 +0000 UTCThis is something that's crossed my mind in regards to maybe doing a special "Bio" section for the characters. I'll make a note of it!

2022-02-26 22:15:33 +0000 UTCHmm, sounds like something I'll have to explore in regards to android optimization.
DyneWulf
2022-02-26 22:14:44 +0000 UTCIf on PC, just hit the H key. If on Android, it's something I'll be looking into!

2022-02-26 22:13:54 +0000 UTCHmm, rollback for Android is something I need to look at for sure
DyneWulf
2022-02-26 22:13:13 +0000 UTCA common request for scene replays it looks like!

2022-02-26 18:06:10 +0000 UTCUnlocking the locked characters. also music selection to show which song plays in which routes. Also Legacy art maybe be brought back. Also have a selection for streamers to have a censor bar or at least have something to block nudity during streaming.

2022-02-26 17:27:01 +0000 UTCThe ability to auto forward would be great. I hate pressing the space bar every 3 seconds especially with tendonitis.
2022-02-26 10:16:29 +0000 UTCWell not sure how this be done but maybe a notice when someone gotten the best ending (Harold) and/or if it links to another route (Chester/Dozer). Cause as nice surprised as those were, a few times I did wonder if I gotten the best ending as your end route notes gives you no clue (and this is with using the guide).

2022-02-26 08:30:51 +0000 UTCThe option to turn "skip" completely off would be great. I usually play on mobile or tablet and I tend to accidentally tap on the skip button instead of the save button.
2022-02-26 08:18:20 +0000 UTCA Hide button for preference bar during the game would be nice as the bar tends to cover up below the characters waist line.

2022-02-26 06:15:07 +0000 UTCHmm I would like to be able to save the game when picking an option or give us a rollback option. (Android user)

2022-02-26 03:54:53 +0000 UTCLike I said, it was something I noticed back when the gallery was first implemented, but I never really thought to question it. When you mentioned wanting to know I'd we wanted to see things implemented, that's what reminded me to inquire about it. With the scene view, I'm not sure but I think it may have a set of variables that get automatically loaded by which of the scenes is picked. (For example, you could have the default hair, eyes, skin color and name, then have the scene auto load with the proper number of needed like/love points for the scene, which then clear after the scene is played so they can't be accidently carried into a saved file. Knowing nothing about coding, I'm not sure if it's really that easy. Just saying stuff off the top of my head.

2022-02-26 03:27:16 +0000 UTCHmm, I feel like just opening a save file and saving it again to duplicate it is just as easy, haha. I'm not sure how I'd do a 'copy' feature TBH x3
DyneWulf
2022-02-26 03:07:51 +0000 UTCFor the scene view, I'll copy what I said to someone else. - This is something I've thought about! I did it with Endless Bounty, so I'd like to do it here too. The only thing I need to really consider is variable selection. A lot of scenes rely on a variety of different variables to determine how dialog goes, so I need to figure out how to handle that. As for Maria... I didn't even realize her gallery image was broken x3 Something else to take a look at! At the same time, I still have the glalery as something I want to redo completely.
DyneWulf
2022-02-26 03:02:39 +0000 UTCOddly enough, the setting to control the speed of text advancement is still in the settings menu >.> I think this is a feature I might have to bring back in!
DyneWulf
2022-02-26 03:00:45 +0000 UTCA "copy" function for the save files would be cool I think.
2022-02-26 02:21:22 +0000 UTCSomething I'd like to see is something I've seen done in a couple other VNs. That being the ability to click on an scene's image that you've viewed at least once (more specifically the intimate/sexual ones) so you can replay them without having to make a separate save for it. Also, although sort of an implementation, it's more of a fix. In the image gallery, you have the ability to see each of the character sprites, as well as the outfits or scenes for the different main character. You also have the ability to click a side character's image to see their sprites, but the problem I've seen, and I've seen this ever since hte image gallery was first implemented, is that clicking on Maria's doesn't work. You can click on Bam to see his. You can click on the bouncer from Dynamite Springs to see his. You can click on Chester's bird gaming friend (I forget his name), but you can't click Maria. This seems odd to me, because she's had a spot in the gallery, and has many different outfits, but you can't click her in either the android or PC version. So yeah, Implementing Maria properly into the gallery would be nice to see too.

2022-02-26 01:49:12 +0000 UTCI’ve been out the loop and I’ve missed the last few updates but if you haven’t already, could you add a feature where the text will advance by itself. Sometimes I just would like to sit and watch it all unfold without having to keep pressing space or clicking to advance. This game is so good it’s like a movie lol

2022-02-26 01:45:22 +0000 UTCDo you think you could add a "Quit" button to the main menu? Sometimes I get done and return to the main menu and want to exit, but there isn't a button on there and I usually forget for a moment how to exit (I have to go to Options or Load Game -> Quit).

2022-02-26 01:36:40 +0000 UTCI wouldn't mind being able to tell if a scene gives like/love points in game unless that's there and I don't know how to access it
drazalt
2022-02-26 01:18:47 +0000 UTCAre you ever going to add a scenes section
2022-02-26 01:16:26 +0000 UTCI would like a way to turn down certain sounds like rain or shower noise without lowering background music.

2022-02-26 01:10:55 +0000 UTCAh well im on android so maybe that is why.
2022-02-26 01:09:04 +0000 UTCMiddle mouse button hides text from the scene you're currently viewing.
