oh gosh, there's been months since I last checked. I was expecting at least some, but it it seems too much...
There's been minor progression in the story but it's mostly systems rebalancing and a bit of side events and ro events
I guess I will wait a bit more, but thank u for saying it
You wish buddy, Nicky is too busy making Mei Mei, Tigress, and Male Caihong content to give a sh*t about unnecessary content like the main story.
Yeah, well, this has become an integral part of any IF game now, regrettably so. Without peeps to screw in your game, people gonna riot, popularity's gonna flop and no one would buy it.
First three questions every if writer MUST answer:
1) Who are the ros?
2) Can you have a harem/love triangle?
3) Same *** ***?
1) Who are the ros?
2) Can you have a harem/love triangle?
3) Same *** ***?
He can’t do that, going too many months without writing content for Mei, would cause Niki to suffer Qi deviation
I understand the feeling honestly as someone who's also writing an IF. When you get to a point where serious and impactful stuff needs to start happening in the story, if you are at least a little of a perfectionist and/or care about how well you want it to turn out—you start worrying about all the other stuff like systems, balance, lore, stats, etc.
I am not as much of a grinder as Niki because I have a social life and other stuff also needs my attention and time, but for example I got to the point where I was just about ready for a first release of a full demo with 100k+ words, and instead of just doing it and then reworking and fixing with community feedback, I decided to give it about a hundred or so passes before I did. And that led to an infinite cycle of reworks, improvements, ambitious additions and whatnot that had me rewriting almost everything.
To make things worse, when I saw that @cultivator-anon released his new Aurillian Framework, I just couldn't resist the temptation and decided to port it over there and rewrite 90% because the system is independent and just so much better than ChoiceScript in terms of variability and functionality.
But that obviously led to even more time spent on learning JavaScript, HTML, and Twine, because like any good perfectionist - I just couldn't have my UI looking basic now could I? Had to learn to import new fonts, how to use em, make pics and cool headers for every character and chapter just to be sure. And that's after learning how to write games in the Framework as well as Twine in general.
Never being satisfied with your work is truly a constipating experience.
sadly true..
Imagine writing an if
Unintentional but Imma leave it there cause it really is like that. I used to stay in a lot more and most of my hobbies and interests revolved around my computer and stuff that I can do at home, so I wrote way more. But when I got a job and decided to add more variety to life (sports, events, etc.) it really took away a LOT of the time I used to have before that I could've used for writing.
Idk exactly how old Niki is, but I'm willing to bet we're about the same age tbh, so I can't go all unc on him, but life is way more interesting than people give it credit for.
But man's getting paid the big bux for his work (especially for Russia) and I am not so I'm actually malding and coping.
Worst and best thing I've ever decided to do. On one hand you get to force-feed people your fetishes and opinions and on the other you actually have to do work.
Writing is actually Niki full time job
What are you writing, again?
You'll see... maybe.
