Well, I personally prefer an old game such as Monkey Island
One of my favourite games: i prefer games that require a bit of thought to FPS games, although the Assassin's Creed franchise is pretty good, as is Kingdoms of Amalur - Reckoning.

Re: Episode 8 Status (2018-07-08)

Ah, good old BASIC. We all spent some time with it, although my first ever lines of code were in FORTRAN and punched into cards. Different generations. ;) I'd be lying if i said that i remember the language that I first wrote code in, because my memory is associative and doesn't do timelines well. ...

Re: Episode 8 Status (2018-07-08)

The game is what it is. There are loads of devs who have learned the bare minimum of Unity/Ren'Py to knock out a basic game, but the gameplay is often bug-ridden and the story is crap. To re-craft BEW in a new engine at it's current stage of development would be tricky, and although it might encoura...

I have wordpress on one of my lesser-used domains, but i have it on autoupdates. Occasionally, i have to do a manual update.

Glad you found the attack vector and sorted it.

Re: Quest Helper?

I think Tlaero's games are also excellent - too bad she's not making them anymore. Check out Tora's Patreon page: it turns out that retirement didn't suit her and she's only gone and written a complete game that just needs Mortze to add his magic visual touch. Although it looks like this will be he...

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Really??? a *lot* of people? This is the first post that I have seen expressing any form of dissent.

And "M," but we haven't met her in-game yet. :geek:
I forgot about 'M': it hadn't fully registered that her romance path was an addition, though, which is probably a good thing, as I 'might' have forgotten and given her full name (which most people probably know anyway).

Re: Quest Helper?

If I'm to offer any advice from a project manager point of view, it would be, sometimes less is more. As the game days go by, and decisions are made, maybe some plot lines, or entire character lines, go away altogether. By day 3 or 4, maybe the possible love interests are cut in half, and the web n...

Not wishing to steal Wolf's thunder or give away the family jewels (and definitely not the Cheat Code), but a lot of what is being asked for is already available, albeit in a form that is not amenable to being shared as is (Wolf has already mentioned the Debug menu, and it is a double-edged sword - ...

Happy New Year

A bit late and apropos of nothing and political shenanigans aside, I hope that everyone is enjoying the start of 2020. Several people have tried to kick-start discussions and show that there are still a lot of people keen to find out where BEW is headed next, and it must be my turn by now. I have fo...

Re: Ideas for mini-game questions

I have seen similar things with 'spin the bottle': some games make good use of it and others just use it because it is easy to code. Dark Cookie uses an interesting variation for the conception test in the pregnancy routes in Summertime Saga,but there are some equally bad ones. I am looking forward ...

So a few tweaks on Faith. Thoughts? Look at the pic first then, if interested what I changed below. Faith head-shot on the beach. No makeup. Neutral Expression Thoughts? If I agree, I'll tweak, If I disagree I'll leave it. Works for me, but her hair should be more ginger, although girls change thei...

Re: A couple of pics and thoughts

the eyes are in an odd position, not cross eyed but not natural. Her eyes are one of her strongest features so that's where my attention goes first. Damn you for mentioning it. Now I see it and I can't unsee it. :lol: There is something wonky about the eyes. I haven't been able to figure out what i...
