Save System Revised

That's the spirit!! Look you can pretend the characters are all posing or something for their save slot photograph.

Congrats on fixing it! :>

Star Stealing Prince

@Lucy_Fox: See, this is why I am all about the skip cutscene functions, since YEAH climactic boss fights lose their edge when you have to go through the pre-fight convo fifty bazillion times.

Although autosaving might be easier to implement? Eeeehhhh I haven't opened the editor in literal months, so idk. But now I want to experiment <__<

Update

@unity & Ronove: Straight up this falls in line exactly with Penta's usual MO. They would do shitty things to me all the time to elicit reasons to feel bad about themself. They said upsetting things to pick fights, and then talked about how bad they felt so I wouldn't have room to be upset and had to focus on comforting them instead. I am 100% sure that's what's happening here since yup the timing is incredibly suspect for Reasons and yup the way they responded to you, Ronove, is very familiar to me.

Basically, don't bother engaging. They WANT a negative response, so if you don't give them one, they will eventually move on to something else.

Aw, no shit! Well thanks a bundle for the congratulations, I hope you enjoy the game.

The Featured Game Thread

@Penta: I implied nothing of the sort. I'm just saying that any consent I had given was withdrawn when you said you didn't care if you continuing work on our shared project hurt me or not.

Also I'm not the one who cut contact, remember? Don't get all weird and twist this around on me. Anyway, I let staff know I'm not comfortable with having this game featured, so if you're honestly cool working on things when I've publicly said "please don't" and everyone knows I'm uncool with it, I guess you'll do whatever you want. I'm fine leaving it at that if you are.

The Featured Game Thread

@unity: nah, it just means I'll have nothing to do with it and that it's happening without my knowledge/consent.

I was thinking "Final Fantasy IV's last dungeon was cool. Maybe something like that." But I think it turns out that I'm the only one who liked that huge final dungeon. XD;;;;

tbh LA's final dungeon hella reminded me of the Lunar Core and I LOOOOOOVED it for that. <333 It's a grindy-ass dungeon, but in a way I can dig, since there's lots of rewards for the grind in there~

Race and Gender in Games

@NeverSilent: Do you have an alternate interpretation, then? Since I assure you, I have seen enough homophobia to recognize it when it's staring me in the face, and the poster who made that comment never showed up to elaborate on what they meant.

Also I am not nearly as angry as you seem to think I am, here! I'm pretty frustrated, and so I probably sound kind of short, but that is just the failing of text-only communication. Really tho, I gotta ask: if you repeatedly had to have the "yes, actually, this DOES hurt" "NO IT DOESN'T, YOU LYING LIAR FACE, YOU'RE AS BAD AS THE PEOPLE WHO HURT YOU!!!" convo, would you not get frustrated? Instead of shutting me down because my tone makes you uncomfortable, why not engage with what I'm actually saying?

Anyway I love myself so I am just going to leave this as food for thought and stop checking this thread, since it only ever raises my blood pressure.

While a lot of people are all "YAY LESBIANS <3" you still get weirdos being all "ugh this is WEIRD and so GAY i don't LIKE IT".
Why should every one have to like lesbian games? Why does someone who doesn't like gay/lesbian/trans games have to be a weirdo?
because homophobia, bro

you don't have to like it, but going on to a gamepage for a game ABOUT LESBIANS and loudly proclaiming how much you dislike the thing that's being done/how "gross" or "bad" it is is lit homophobia lmao

(also the fact you literally never see "WOW THIS GAME IS FILLED WITH HETS!!!! I'M SO BORED OF HETS!!!!" plastered all over game pages for games with straight people is v telling!)

EDIT: Also like... if you can't tell the difference between "eh I am not interested in this thing" and "HERE'S A FOLDER OF CORRECTIONS BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE TRANS PEOPLE!!!", I'm going to assume you are being willfully ignorant.
Can I get some quotes from the gamepage? I saw some ryan comments doing a quick flyover with "lesb" in the Ctrl+F box, but obviously that wasn't going to pick out the real deep cutters.

You can go read through the comments yourself. There was some weirdness v recently about someone dropping the game because of a "seriously messed up" scene of two women consensually cuddling in bed in a non-sexual nature. This was "too far" for the person.

1) word of God is that nothing sexual happens in that scene, so it is literally two women just cuddling. Doesn't get more wholesome than that.
2) assumption of LGB relationships being inherently sexual is a relic of homophobic notions that try to paint us as deviant perverts, so assuming they were having sex when they... weren't... is likewise an unconscious, homophobic relic.
3) if the issue was murky consent, I can assure you: I've played the game, the woman who is Shy and Unsure makes a decision to cuddle all on her own. There is no coercion or sexual assault happening here, and I am fucking militant when it comes to consent.

Like there was literally nothing about this scene that could be interpreted as Uncomfortable EXCEPT for the fact it involved two women. It's homophobia. Even if the person just doesn't like fluffy shoujo cuddle scenes: LA is clearly advertised as being ABOUT romantic relationships. Why did they feel the need to comment? Why do people never rudely comment on games with straight relationships that are super hamfisted and equally in your face? Again: the answer is HOMOPHOBIA.

EDIT: UNITY U NINJA'D ME but yes that was the comment I was talking about.
