Mmm, not quite yet. I've been busy the last couple days with another game I've been playing, but I've been thinking about the transition between this base content and the next expac.So the creative phase enced for now and time to polish it to shine more than polished kaithrit jugs?
Yeah, that's the main thing that I'm worried about is the sheer size/length of the doc for it being a first time submission from me... Comparibly I'd say that she might be just about as big as Sylvie in terms of doc size, but I'm thankful most of the bulk of the project is mostly just dialogue stuff, so hopefully it wouldn't be hard to code regardless of length. I am also expecting that even if approved it might get put on the back burner cause of the length. I did shorten the amount of sex scenes to partially alleviate that but I don't see any other ways of shorting the doc lol.Yeah as long Fen will like her idea and jugs polishing will be done fast. But I not sense any issues that may prevent her from been added aside too huge workload on coders to code her pretty soon after final approval from Fen.
Mmm, I kinda have mixed feelings on that in all honesty. On one hand I'm not entirely sure on what part would be an appropriate break point to split the content other than maybe when the sleepover scene happens or something. On the other it would kinda feel like I would be telling half of the story as well and it would kinda seem like she's well... Half done during that period, least for the base content anyways. I think most of that content is largely dialogue based with just a few simple parcer calls as well as the trust system before that point so by itself I would hope that would be easy enough.You could also work on...cutting her current content into few parts like part one that include some of the initial encounters till certain point. THen another to progress and so on till all current contend is included into those few parts. So coders then can work on it with less strain of: I need code this gigant at once or nto touch it at all.
This way even if first part would be coded it can be still left locked for next 1-2 builds while coder work to add rest stuff making it ready for testing and release.
Forgive me, but I'm pretty confused of what you meant and how I'd go about doing that.@Lkynmbr24 No that wasn't exactly what I meant. It was making smamller parts for coders so their can like in one go code those smaller parts then try work n whole huge gdoc and stops midway. Still after been presented to people for test/play it would be whole just at coding phase it would been divided in smaller parts to make it easier to add. Unless all the content you wrote is inteconnected in such way that wihtout things near end of gdoc the begining of the gdoc can't be coded.

Lol it's certainly up there in length but I extremely doubt that this doc has anywhere near the complexity of Bess/Ben! It's mostly lengthy due to just detailed dialogue, but before the sex scenes happen there's very little in the way of parcer calls, theres randomized hangout scenes, and the trust system to unlock talk options should be pretty similar to Kiro's so I don't think I have to worry about complexity comparatively! As for the sex scenes themselves, the complexity of those will come on the next expac so nothing to worry about thereYeah I think Gedan would be best person that at some point would tell if you need divide whole content for some smaller packages or not for her to have easier time implementing this (my concern about making packages was about Gedan going near mad for trying to implement Bess gdoc that had I think maybe 80-90k words).
Yeah, whatever she is comfortable doing. I wouldn't mind if it took a few extra months or something because of the length. As long as it has a decent chance of being implemented I'll take whatever steps nessesary to help ensure its implementation!Well then it seems even without you Gedan would be able if needed stop at some point coding to take a break before starting next coding session.
Oh the few months thing was mostly exaggeration, hehe... Still, I am a patient guy so few weeks or so would definitely be a lot faster than expected. XDFew months would imply it's around Bess size. Maybe it would be just a few weeks after Gedan start code (assuming all went bell and Gedan got green light from Fen to code your kitty).

Phew, in that case I don't think I have as much to worry about then. Thank you for the official word on that Gedan!In Bess' case, it was nothing to do with the raw size of the content, it was the potential variation that could be present and the endless menus to support it.
If you've already written all the stuff, don't break it up. Doing so makes it harder to work on because there'll likely be instances where something is coded to support things in Doc A, and then it has to be rewritten to add something on from Doc B... and then again from Doc C etc.
I haven't thought of when or where to fit it in yet, but I was hoping to eventually have them all meet up for a short time near the beginning of the third planned expansion! Of course I'd have to make variants of this depending on if the PC also remained just friends with Fisi as well.Top tier adorable romance content the likes of which we haven't seen since JimThermic rode off into the sunset? Sign me the ever loving fuck up, this has my vote of confidence without a doubt. I need this in the game, ASAP. @Lkynmbr24 One question, if I may. In the possible coming expansions, can we see Aya, Tara, and Britannia's reactions to learning that Steele and Fisianna are a couple?
