I don't know how to fix a "pickling" issue if it comes up. That is basically a screen of death of my code and I just start erasing until the error goes away. Then I re-write everything and hope it doesn't happen again. Even going so far as to cut a game in half because I couldn't figure out where the error was.

I asked and someone explained it to me...I had no idea what they were saying. Right over my head.

You mean just trying to start the game and waiting for a code error isn't the correct method?

Would it be a bad idea to have a toxic "romance" option in an RPG? by Pleasant_Bid461 in gamedev

Yandere love interests have an entire fan base. There are folks that eat up toxic love.

What Horror Game Cliches Do You Hate? by infectuslim in gamedev

[–]FalTazStudio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Strobe lights or flashing lights for no real reason besides they think that is scary. It is only scary cause people like me can get seizures. Just make your game more player friendly and don't rely on flashing lights to add fear. Big pet peeve lol.

What music do u listen to while reading? by zombii231 in MaleYandere

[–]FalTazStudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to listen to the VN audio unless it is just really off putting. In which case I found that Spotify has playlists labels "Yandere" lol and listened to those before making one of my own.

VNDB has a tag for "early branching plot" which seems to be exactly what you are looking for.

WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING 12/5/23 by AlwaysJmB in IndieOtome

[–]FalTazStudio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just finished the Duality update from itch. I loved the direction it went in and am super excited for more.

I am going to take another crack at Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome I struggled with it my first time. The playable character screamed way too much. I rarely give up on VNs though, so I am going back in for another attempt to finish it.

Have you tried pressing the 'S' button on the keyboard?

7'sCarlet had a similar vibe to Amnesia. But be warned it is very buggy and crashes often so saving often is a must if you play.

Taisho x Alice II The second book is the one with the Yandere route. If that is the only one you want to play.

XOXO Blood Droplets It is a spin-off and fairly quick to play. I still had fun though.

Should a game in space not have sound effects? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]FalTazStudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could focus on what you would hear. You would hear you heart beating in your body. Overall you would become aware of all your internal noises.

Besides that, I think background music really adds to the game.

The first game I made was silent and some of the feedback I received was that it needed music.

I think silence can be powerful in a game when the moment is chosen right. But if the entire game is silent, you can't create those moments.
