In fairness, it was a horrible thing to wish upon a woodchipper.

With this difficult to set up scene... I'll say I'm enough ahead of schedule to take the weekend off.

Lighting this'll be a nightmare come Monday though due to the ground shadows and my seperation of background and foreground elemets/styles.

If you ever make any argument for censorship no matter how utilitarian you've lost me. You've chosen to make yourself an enemy of freedom and human rights.

Iโ€™ve never been one for puzzle games except one, Lumines, which kept me utterly hooked when it released on the PSP. Can still go back to it today.

That saidโ€ฆ holy *shit* Lumines Arise is good. This is utterly beautiful.

Finding out I have a fairly large sound file in my game's audio folder that I'm not using: WOO! Free megabytes!

Another week... another pile of finished smutty bondage art for my game. Tomorrow I'll dig in and try to finish the scene these belong to in Ren'py.

If your taste in men is like Ohno from Genshiken... this one's for you.

It's a great feeling when something goes so catastrophically wrong with a mediocre render that I thought was "Good enough", that I redo it from scratch and make it actually good.

This would also happen when limits were on but I had male figures in the scene... I'll have to experiment to see if I can recreate the "fix".

There's a bug in #poser where with some figures, if you apply a pose, hands or face it could cause genitals to basically explode. When this would happen I'd chalk it up to bad luck and manually pose what I needed.

I may have just discovered simply switching camera then back may fix it.

Finally using "Chekhov's pillory" This thing has appeared in the background and foreground of many scenes and I wasn't sure I was gonna actually use it.

This has been a pretty intense dev week. I haven't spent this much time on writing and coding for a single script in the last 2 years. I think I need to force myself to take the weekend off.

As I get closer to finishing this game the temptation to overwork gets stronger.

I began seriously learning Ren'py nearly 3 years ago... and I was today years old when I finally learned how to do conditional menu options: ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Example:

menu:
"Just kill me." if ignorant > 49:

This woulda made my last script alone half the length. Live and learn.

FUN SCIENCE FACT: after five minutes of existing, a glass of piss cooling in front of an open fridge will have had a more positive influence on gaming than the industryโ€™s entire executive class has had in two decades.

One pitfall of making branching narrative games is that as the author you tend to fall in love with one or more branches which makes them become more canonical in your head, to the point that imagining players choosing the others can become frustrating.

Game publisher execs are about two more fads away from putting all their faith in literal magic beans.

They went all-in on services, all-in on NFTs, all-in on AI. Every time theyโ€™re convinced theyโ€™ve invested in a divine cure-all.

They believe in magic the way a child might. Except kids learn.

One of the biggest downsides to an overly complicated branching system in my Visual Novel (As a one man show) is that I have to add some contingency branches for combinations of variables that I am not sure are even possible.

I finally found a use for the hidden "compassionate" stat I've been tracking the entire game. It will literally determine one line of dialogue!

Honestly it's not inconsequential as it does help sell the roleplaying you've done... but fucking still, man...

I am at another completely brain melting part of development where I have some good old fashion madlib dialogue based on way too many player stat checks... where I have to reconsile OPPOSITE stat checks into logical streams of dialogue.

I'm still really enjoying "Into the nightmare." It's incredibly refreshing to find a JRPG with really sex positive yuri content. (Or any) And a game with the protagonist in a healthy relationship. The game just has immaculate vibes.

Into the Nightmare on the other hand is fucking great. MC is an unabashed lesbian, Art style is original and cool. Good story, Well integrated H scenes, and fairly polished so far.

A breezy tokusatsu show meets tentacle hentai that understand the appeal of both genres.

1 of 2:

I started a couple of H games. 7 girls war seems VERY mid. It's interesting but the way H scenes have occurred so far are hella disjointed giving drastic tonal whiplash, and in general there is a real lack of direction guidance in the gameplay. Kinda irritating.

I wish I hadn't bothered tracking hunger, thirst and fatigue in my visual novel or at least not shown the stats to the player. With rare exception those aspects could have easily been dealt with strictly within the narrative and saved me a lot of headaches/time.
