Rogue-Like Discussion, Word Balloons

There was made an impressive work. Keep on it!

ZULEYKA GAMES

Yes. Rogue and Kitty, yes. Emma's still like 15% complete, so no on her.

Oni

I not played yet,because i se the size of the game some..."Low" but...The question is... CAN I FUCK SOME ONE ON THE GAME?!

Rodita Sephflare

The easiest way is you can just send me a PM over Patreon.

Oni

Hey, Oni, first of all... huge fan of your work,, second... do you have a contact email? i´d like to ask you a few questions if you don´t mind

Bad Cate

Try visiting the class in the evenings.

Oni

i cant find a way to talk with emma ? in class she said wait after class but i cant find her !

AKOBEL

Personally, I like it better this way. It feels tidier and I can rest my eyes on one part of the screen rather than have to dart them about all the time. :P

Waelan

Move to the update thread as this comment wasn't on topic. Sorry.

Shadow5

Try leaving the classroom and then coming back in the evening. You might stumble onto something.

Oni

I have some troubles wih Ms.Frost how can i get her number? Whenever i ask for her number she refuses to give me and i cannot talk with her either. I think i'm doing something wrong?

I only distribute it at the $1+ pledge level. I imagine you shouldn't have too much trouble tracking down a copy though if you really don't want to pledge. I mean, The Internet.

Oni

When will the game be publish for free download?

master8

Yeah, I'll try to clean those up as best I can. The more I know about the circumstances where this happens, the better, like were they there and then left, or did you just get there, what are they saying to you (exact words, ideally)? I know vaguely why this might happen, but not what is causing each specific case.

Oni

Lol, I'll see what I can do with that, it's a work in progress. I have an idea to turn it into a screen object, which means I could make a button to toggle it.

Oni

EDIT again: Figured out how to go back. Could do with making that option a bit clearer, very small text at the bottom of the screen doesn't seem ideal. EDIT #3 Nvm that no longer works. Back to being stuck.

I preferred it the way it was before I think. It's a bit annoying to constantly have to look to the side to see the main point of your interaction, atleast when you're moving between rooms. It also cuts off at the bottom of the screen for me when I interact with Emma. EDIT: I am now also stuck interacting with Emma. Don't seem to be an option to exit out of it atm. That could be the part of it that's cut off at the bottom of the screen I suppose.

Kim Åkerman

I don't know if any one had seen this but i am still getting text bubbles of the girls when they are no where near.

I'm fine with the word balloons being where they were moved. Honestly, if you hadn't said anything, I might not have noticed. I kinda wish I could toggle the penis display off though.

pinkdoors

Hmm. So if I change it so that "main girl" is in the center, and "secondary girl" is more where the main girl used to be (roughly 3/4 to the right), then you're saying put the second girl's word balloon on the right hand side of the screen? That might be doable, but the problem would be that you'd have to look back and forth between her and the other girl's dialog. That's part of what I liked about putting them all in a central location.

Oni

I'll just pop on my own two cents regarding the text boxes. It seems odd right now that they're all to the left now, but it's also a partial implementation so I can't say that it's perfect in it's current state. That said, I kinda wish that the text boxes would display on the side that the character speaking is standing. Thereby making it more visually apparent whom the text box goes to.

Shadow5

Having played for a bit, I don't mind the change, other than the GUI issues it's creating. You're addressing those, so I won't go into them.

voyeurkind

Is it almostly ready but not implemented yet or do you still have a lot of work to do before they are selectable options?

Harry Jamerson

Sorry if this has been asked before but how soon can we expect to get access to options for Emma such as dating, giving gifts and sex?

Harry Jamerson

I think fiddling with the size would be kind of complicated too. What I've done in the meantime is I changed the chat options to be shorter in length, basically instead of being conversational phrases, they're now just direct commands, and the player character says the more conversational version when you select them. This turns 2-3 line phrases into 1 line, or 2 at most, which takes up a lot less vertical space.

Oni

Is it easier to add a text size adjustment to the options in the bedroom as an immediate fix while you work on re-nesting the conversations or two-column layout?

That can definitely be part of it. I think I already had a tail like that in there for if they were really at the side of the screen, but I could repurpose it for the new setup.

Oni

maybe you'll take this as an idea? <a href="https://ibb.co/nn9gqH" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://ibb.co/nn9gqH</a>

Ok, the settings menus should be cleaner now. Let me know if any other combinations end up being too long.

Oni

That is an issue for me.

Yeah, I can understand that, and that was the original intent. Maybe I can figure out some sort fo compromise.

Oni

Just a quick update on android, I tried to get the android version working, but hit some snags on getting the SDK to work. Apparently I need the 32 bit java SDK to work with Renpy, but now I can only find the 64 bit SDK, which isn't good enough. It's all an exporting issue, it doesn't really have anything to do with what I spend time working on.

Oni

One quick question, when you guy are having issues with "too many menu items so they run off the screen," how many is that? Like count the menu items. I'm actually trying to find a menu that runs off the screen, and at the moment I'm having a hard time replicating it, and think it may have to do with different resolutions or something.

Oni

If you do for various reasons keep things over to the left, the other thing I'm noticing is the text box and the balloon in the same position are really similar. So if based on your expansion plans you need to keep all the text\thought bubbles over there, then different font (or italics) for non-dialogue might be another option too to make them read differently.

Patrick Thrasher

honestly I liked the center style a lot because although it does lead to more glancing between characters, it just feels more natural; especially in an x-men based game. It feels more like a comic, which given the setting of the game is way more organic.

I heavily agree with the idea of continuous reading. Makes it feel more like tbe dating sim x visjal novel cross that it's meant to be and less of tje dating sim x optical excercise that it felt like.

Matt Ahn

If you allow me....I think this is too much work just for "texts". I prefer this effort at android version.

Mind Blow

Maybe color coding the balloons to character? Also, I'm surprised scrolling with the keyboard doesn't bypass the visibility problem of the menu. I think the menu may have to overlap the text balloons for spacing in the current configuration.

Patrick Thrasher

Well, with the rationale properly presented, I withdraw my earlier objections to the UI change; overall, I must agree with Noah, just some minor stylistic changes need to made to properly align the menus with the background images.

My only real complaint is this. In the new classroom the glow from the tables in the background makes it a little harder to read the options. Other than that, it's good.

River Asmussen

Currently everything feels shoved to the left and downward. My best example is talking about things regard what rogue does

Booty4Bass

I like it being in the top left. Makes the UI feel less cluttered.
