Hello. If you want to help with writing, I could propose you to write game prehistory for a start. Our constants are: there was a really huge slave riot in the past; during it someone used a spell or a device that turned city surroundings into unstable in terms of space zone with monsters and stuff (that's where players can fight them and serch for items and other stuff); during the riot main character's father disappeared.
Other than that, you can write pretty much anything as long as it as cool as your story about that guy :)
If you have more questions about the game world, ask me.
Why yes, it's very good. I also like those vague hints about what happened and what was father's job.
Let's see...
- MC's mother. Someone early proposed an idea that she was a slave and that she was either killed or sold out, since her owner wasn't MC's father. That's just an option though. Either you could come up with a better story where she disappeared much earlier than father, or you could try to write a similar scene for her, how MC remembers it.
- A story about the riot itself: how slaves prepared for it, what served as an occasion, how it was suppressed. From the viewpoint of city government, since slaves don't write official history.
- You could reveal more MC's history in terms of starting class. There are warrior, mage and casanova already. So you could write three very short stories about how he received the necessary knowledge and skills before beginning of the game.
- We assume that something during the slaves riot changed lands around the city, making monsters and stuff appear all the time. You could write a small story from the perspective of an outside observer how lands gradually changed.
No, length is perfect. I like the idea of exotic, unhuman characters like the golem. Try to come up with a bit more.
And try to do the same for villains, MC's enemies. Of course he doesn't know about them in the beginning of the game.
Would be cool to have charismatic, powerful ones. Powerful in terms of both connections and battle skills/magic.
The question I kinda had was is it oke?, i.e. nobody else doing something like it, etc
**: First time programming in python/ren'py but using the other events (like the frog one) as an example I should be able to write the code for most things.
We are also limited by sprites. Golems, zombies, werewolves, variuos humans and elfs, even most elementals are easy to find.
But when you give so accurate and uncommon description like the black child has, it already requires unique, custom sprite.
Question, how many people do you have committed to this project by the way?
There is no point to assign people to specific roles in a project like this, it will never work because people usually have unstable hours, disappear without a trace, stay online and visit the forums regularly while not being able to contribute due to rl job/issues and etc. There is no point in organizing even the existing members, we all have been around long enough to know what to do if time allows us to contribute to the game.
Makes sense, give me two weeks to get home and I'll see what I have to offer.
...
perfect quests.
Deal.
We have a number of very specific requests for a graphics designer that are world apart in impotence for the game than that silly black goblin thing. Truth be told, all of the people so far who seriously contributed to the project just jumped in and did their stuff, often without even asking :)
If you're still interested in helping out when you get back, we'll let you know what needs to be done.
Heu :)
Welcome on board, Dark asked this already but is there anything that your are interested in working on? Another question: Do you have a working copy of development environment setup?
When you're sure at least about the later, lets start with something simple: pytfall\game\content\gfx\interface\images\elements. In this folder are the icons we use for Elemental Alignments, if a character has more than one, we crop the image (vertically) and show one image made up of several of these icon. There are some issues with that so an you make sure these icons or of the same height/width and all have the exact same amount of transparent pixels between the image and it's boarders (or remove that spacing all together).
Isn't that how it goes? Checkout/fork > edit > commit > merge back into master? It's been 2 years since I've used git.
I assume you can link the whore name & stuff into the text, so I left those areas labeled #customer, #whore & #cash
OK, a simple find/replace will fix the tags, since I've been consistent.
I don't have the dev version.
I tried to grab it today, but got confused on the latest repository stuff.
If I just DL the zip file into renpy, will I at least be able to view the current version?
I'll give it a try to see if I can figure out the structure & comply with how it is.
I noticed the linked actions like virginity loss & stat upgrade are displayed in the same text box. I'm assuming they're called by a separate process or whatever & have no bearing on the actual fuck text?
Just until the next version of Ren'Py comes out, you'll also have to update Ren'Py to per-release channel after grabbing the latest version, we are using some features that are not in the release version yet.
Otherwise it will work as long as you download a couple of packs as well, there are instructions couple of posts back.
Well, some of it is checked elsewhere but most of the report is built by one function that contains all checks and texts, all extra info from stuff that happened elsewhere is passed to it. At this moment we do two checks for this job, one is for beauty and the other for skill but you don't have to write the texts for everything, just roll with whatever you feel like (aka don't kill the creative process with rules/demands while on the roll :D ).
If you have beauty & skill calls already, I can write versions for all combos, well at least ugly>OK>Supermodel & can't fuck>OK>sex goddess.
self.txt.append("The customer was unimpressed by %s looks, to say at least. Still, he preferred fucking her over a harpy. Hearing that from him however, was not encouraging for the poor girl at all..." %self.worker.name)Just wondering if that would fit your structure or if beauty and talent should be separate. From a players perspective, the pre-combined versions would be much better, but IDK if you can get the code to identify everything & choose the proper text. I hope that wouldn't create a huge amount of work for you, but I'm willing to do it that way.
I would need to write 9 texts per event type. More than that once you bring the caste system back, but It's not that huge a project I forgot you nixed caste for now. When you bring it back, a separate txt call for each caste would be sufficient I think, no real need to edit or redo the actual fuck text. I'll remember to exclude mention of customer clothing/wealth etc. in the fuck txt .
[snip]
Problem with pre-combined is that it's really hard to write, with everything split, we can have the game choosing from multiple options when constructing the event reports. Seems simpler with shorter texts on one hand and more coherent with pre-combined texts on the other. We used to have pre-combined btw, we switched to split once because those were easier to write without dedicated writers.
Note that if a customer dislikes the girls completely, act will never happen, so there will not be a report (can't f*ck ==> preferable to fucking a harpy (used to be horse but Dark must have changed it :) )).Yeah, it goes well together with some pieces of lore provided by mobs descriptions :)
Also, is it worth it to bother with a medium beauty, Highly skilled txt? I don't recall ever being in a situation like that in the Alpha, CHA & refinement are so much easier to come by than skills are.It's because we didn't have presetted high level characters in alpha and different speed of acquiring skills, I mean everyone in the game started with level 1, and progressed more or less identically.
will the customer's sex be in the {customer} link? I wouldn't want to write "female {customer}" in a Lesbo text if it will already be there.It doesn't matter much, we always can change it to adapt it to your texts.
Don't know if you'll use different positions or not, you could use a wildcard to pull from the available positions I assume.At first we select act (like vaginal or anal), then we check what kinds of positions the character has for this act, and pick one of them randomly.
Interested in any feedback you have as far as content & naming convention.They are awesome :)
Quick question, aren't "onside" & "spooning" the same thing? Believe me, onside face to face is a horrible position unless maybe you got a foot long cock.You should ask Xela, it was his idea to add spooning... Wanted to add a dirty joke here, but by huge effort of will resisted the urge :D
I am pretty sure I based that stuff on tags, look at your own tag design... if it's no longer valid, remove it.I never had problems with those two, I mean, I kinda used those tags for rather different pictures and both were similaly common... But maybe I was wrong all the time and imagined something different under "onside" position :)

used her well trained vaginal muscles to milk his cock as he fucked herOne can hardly milk a strapon. Though I'm aware of models that contain liquid inside, but it's probably useless to do so during whore job, since the client won't feel it.
Lesbians have stuff like fingering and licking, which could use unique texts anyway. As for mirroring, if I understood your question correctly, doggy straight ~ doggy with strapon, yeah. But for example in 3_3_doggy you have lines One can hardly milk a strapon. Though I'm aware of models that contain liquid inside, but it's probably useless to do so during whore job, since the client won't feel it.
Shit this is becoming a crapload bigger by the minute.
Let me ask this then, will there even be a need for texts for ugly chicks? That would let me off the hook for 57 hetero & 93 lesbo at least, I already have to double les sex & anal for whore fucker whore fuckee.
Definitely not from alpha... I uploaded new ones here (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vglscz1knvgphhf/AABbvWcX0Qu_WztU5s2JIzjXa?dl=0) if want to take a look.Yeah that's pretty much what I thought you meant. I'm looking at Chat.rpy from the master file now & other than 1 or 2 spelling errors, I wouldn't change a thing.
For a start you can write small texts just like you do it for whore job atm, but for actions between MC and girls from interactions. Kiss, hug, grab ass, grab boobs.
Not based on skills or stats, but based on the level of disposition. Ie for example from a small short kiss to deep one with tongue.
how up in spell check like "her" instead of "he")
If you'd like to do more spell checking, there are also traits, mobs and items descriptions. They are in game\content\db, there are files starting with "items_" and "traits_", and one file "mobs".
After you finish with sex scenes, you are welcomed to try to write short descriptions for hugs, kisses and grabbing stuff from interactions.
I do not mean lines, I mean the acts themselves, just like you describe acts for whore job. Like, the character slaps you in the face or something if you try to grab her with low disposition, but more compliant with high disposition.
I'll check of we have pronouns coded in tomorrow, it's one of those things that are very simple to add so it feels like we should have done that already...
==
I was done but only for clients for some reason, I'll see if I can add that tomorrow.
Failures are a good idea.
Though I can't imagine how one could possibly fail a vaginal session, at worst a girl would be just really bad... If you can imagine it, be my guest. Otherwise really, really bad is fine too.
