Clementine Pregnancy Expansion [Summitted]
- Thread starter OreoLuma
- Start date
Small update on this: I have now visually confirmed myself that EVERYTHING that has been submitted to us is now for sure on the review board, which also caught a couple of other projects that had slipped through the system for one reason or another.
Balak's found a new automation tool that should, hopefully, maybe, prevent it from happening in the future but I'll personally be keeping a manual eye on the system for the foreseeable future.

Worth checking for your case based on Savin's reply - did you get Google Form confirmation?
As of this month, the Clementine pregnancy doc is now slightly over 2 years old. Feels weird in hindsight that I've been working on this doc off and on for that long.
The Clementine doggystyle scene just got added into the game! I didn't even know it got reviewed. Hope you all enjoy it. Hopefully the main pregnancy doc is good enough to be added in as well.
Also massive thank you to Acehangman, he helped alot with editing and the long ass rut parser was his idea.

Nice! You put a lot of hard work, and words... so many words...
into the scenes.
Unfortunately the Clementine pregnancy expansion and all the commissioned art has been rejected. Also Acacia (the sheepgirl I wrote) has also been rejected as well.
It’s been over two years since I’ve started this project and after thinking it over for a while. I’ve decided to stop writing for this game. I simply don’t have it in me to meticulously comb through hundreds of google doc pages anymore.
I apologize for getting everyone hopes up and failing so spectacularly.
I would also like to thank my good friend Acehangman for helping me. I wouldn't have wrote so much if it wasn't for them!
This will be my final post concerning the game.
Thank you, have a wonderful day and goodbye!

So hi!
I just wanted to commend you for putting your all into the project. I know it must sting for your hard work to get rejected, but having gone through the doc just now to see the comments, nothing I read seems all that doom and gloom!
They just expressed that there is just some more work needed to be done. And I understand how much it must hurt to hear that after spending so much time scripting diligently and then needing to do so some more, but I think you can do it!
You already proved yourself by getting two scenes into the game! 2 more than I did, and I constantly say how I am going to leave my mark.
Here is my advice: take a break! From writing or from trying to submit for the game. Maybe try creating a fan fic or original work. Something easy and relaxing where you do not need to worry so much about grammar, prose and all that. Something that you can consider finished whenever you feel like it is finished.
Or, once more, just take a break! You already have something to show for, and your writing will still be there if you decide to continue.
All this to say: I hope you do not let this drag you down. There is always another chance.

I hold no hard feelings towards the devs or anyone but I apologize. My passion for this game is gone. I tried taking a break from all writing however the feeling stayed.
I really appreciate your advice and thank you for such kind words. I hope your stuff gets in!
I mostly want to move on and pour my time and creative juices into something that will yield more results. Besides I've wanted to do art for years now, so I mostly see this as a stepping stone.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're finished, Luma. I'm glad you're taking this in stride as best you can though and I really hope any future projects you work on go smoothly. Thank you for the hard work <3
Well that sucks...
Although it's ass to spend a bunch of time on something and it "not bear fruit"; It be nice if someday you decided to keep at it. but if not, good luck no your future endeavours.
Goodbye sheepfolk enjoyer.

Perhaps you can give people permission to continue iterating on your work and submitting it until it can become part of the game. I bet there are people here who would be happy to work on the changes the reviewers suggest until it can be approved. That way you can step away from this project but the work you've put into it over the years does not go to waste.
Luma said to post this. He will get messages and still sees comments in the docs. Obviously Clementine herself is not his work, and she's available for anyone as far as I know. If you have interest in Acacia or a scene for her (not that she's in game), just let him or I know. He says if you can clean them up, or make them work... just don't claim all the credit for it. He really put a lot of parser work in and would hate to see it lost.
His words:
Thanks I may take a crack at trying to clean it up in the future if no one else does. I wouldn't want to take any credit, i just want to see it in game.
Please do man... I was looking forward to this. It's... very understandable that Luna is done. If I spent two years on something, got it to the point it seemed good, and was told "Nope" then I might look elsewhere too. Though, to be fair, that standard that Savin established has kept the quality of writing in this game generally top-tier.
I hope we can see this come out as a dual-author scene pack!
Question though. If I work on cleaning it up. I don't have edit access to the doc itself so would I just make a copy, work on the changes in the comments and resubmit it? Ive never submitted work for this game so I don't really know
Your best bet is to simply copy and paste the doc, then edit it. I will keep the original as a reference to make sure you didn't remove anything important (or add anything that either breaks character or doesn't fit Clementine). If you keep me updated then I'll check out your changes.
Just some friendly advice, please keep Clementine's character in check. I and other writers are guilty of it but while she is very prudish. Clem is also headstrong and doesn't stutter every sentence.
Other then that I don't know about submitting it, the reviewer said the entire doc wasn't up to standards so I'm not sure this is a good use of your time but message a dev about it or Savin can answer that in this thread. I'll probably have to resubmitted it again but with your credits on fixing everything.
Okay whenever I get around to working on the spots they commented on ill send you a link to it. Im not familiar with the parser so I don't want to mess with that. But I greatly appreciate your work dude and hopefully we can eventually get this in the game. Though it boggles my mind why they rejected the art as well. But not much I can do on that front.
That would probably be the easiest way. Especially when you have to deal with the blocks of pregStage parsers. Arranging or coloring them to make it easier on yourself (or indenting them) without worrying you're making it harder on others or worrying that you're removing something forever. It's a pretty big project to start off with if you haven't submitted anything before (I haven't, though I have many docs). Might be best to focus on one sex scene, rather than a whole character 'arc', but reading docs can definitely give you pointers as such.
Make sure to make me an editor or just add me to the people with access.
If any parser issues show up I guess I'll fix them.
One of the main reasons I'm not writing for this game anymore. I spent a lot of time and money commissioning the art. But yeah can't do much about it :/ thanks for the kind words though.
I wouldn't have your hopes up. Not trying to be an ass or anything but just keep your expectations in check, its been two years since I've started this doc. I've rewritten it to be over close or over 150+ pages and it still wasn't up to par. But you'll succeed where I failed so spectacularly. You got this, don't make the mistakes I did!
I thank you for the kind words. Will definitely add you and Ace as editors when I get to that. Main goal is just to work on what they commented to see if they will accept it after that. I may be slower for 2 reasons.
1. ADHD
2. Writing for the D&D campaign I run.
So when I do post progress on that, I plan to make the link open for comments for those who are not editors so anyone else invested in this project can share their ideas or help correct the doc.
