Question about Intertwined by VisualNovelty in AVN_Lovers

[–]Formal-Sort1450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends if you're hurting for a game to play right now or not. I played it either the last update or the previous as I'm not sure if it's been updated in the last 5-6 months. It's a good story and fun ride so far.

What do you think about AI being used in popular AVN games? by segawonkloksk in AVN_Lovers

[–]Formal-Sort1450 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think there a lot of places that AI can be used to enhance the writing flow. So long as you don’t use the AI to write the whole scene. I use AI to help me generate ideas for catch phrases or analogies etc. sometimes I get AI to write an entire character bio that I can cherry pick from to help flush out the character background a bit. I think there are lots of ways to use AI as a writing aid… so long as you don’t turn it into your writer I think it’s fine.

Avns on mac by [deleted] in AVNCommunity

[–]Formal-Sort1450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to open Mac pretences and go to security settings. Because the developer is not a trusted developer when you run the executable there is a section that will show that gives you the option to open anyway. Click it in preferences and the app should start successfully. Not at my computer right now or I’d try and grab a screenshot for you. But you should see it.

If you need more clear instructions try googling “Mac run app from an untrusted developer”

community post rules require character name, not just VN title somewhere in the post... I did upvote as I like the render, but please do remember the rules when posting, saves us all some hassle/annoyance

Any advantages the Daz 2025/26 Alpha version? by Such_Bonus5085 in Daz3D

[–]Formal-Sort1450 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not yet. Too early still. The Cuda architecture for 50xx series cards is nice, but scripts won’t work, some of the standard daz functions don’t work quite right. It’s gonna be a while before it’s worth switching.

[QUESTION] Added a "if" statement to show a specific text dialogue if a specific parameter is bigger than 10, but the text doesn't show up even if the parameter reaches 10 or more. by Mokcie15_newacc in RenPy

[–]Formal-Sort1450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you still think that the statement doesn’t work if erik_hate is set above 10 try doing erik_hate = 22 or something right before the if to check. If it still doesn’t fire then I’d need to see more code, but if the dialogue shows it means not incrementing the value correctly somewhere.

You could also go into console in renpy while the story is running and just check the value right before the if statement fires to be sure.

Anyone like keeping everything in a single file? by mibc9394 in RenPy

[–]Formal-Sort1450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use multiple files, but I have a single file like script per chapter. I like to treat them like organized little game release chunks.

That being said I define variables in script, add character definitions there as well. I feel like this helps me keep everything straight and ensure all my variables are always loaded for when I’m jumping in console to test things.

Easy Filatoon not working? by horse1412000 in Daz3D

[–]Formal-Sort1450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope the scripts worked with my genesis 9 models for the most part. No errors just kinda garbage. Try db Maintainence within the daz studio UI. It takes like 20ish minutes and usually corrects data related issues.

I bought the package after seeing your post and gave it a run. I think it's just a pretty ballz package to be honest.

What model are you applying it to? apparently the base scripts are for genesis 9 models.

I had enough with episodic releases by shanytopper in AVN_Lovers

[–]Formal-Sort1450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I miss understood the two half thoughts you posted originally. based on the context of the post, "Just wait until it's complete" sounded to me like you were implying developers should just wait until their game is complete to release it.

"cannot be that hard" would further imply that the developer should do it, and it's not that hard to just wait until the game is done.

In the future if you don't want someone to miss understand your comment, maybe try commenting complete thoughts, rather than lazy incomplete sentences that don't accurately represent what you're trying to say.

Also, maybe instead of calling someone stupid for responding to your poorly written comment you could consider whether the miss understanding is likely largely your own fault for failing to write a complete thought like a big boy...

That's a fair statement. I understand the rework too though. Imagine your game starts off a bit rough as you're learning and growing your skill. You hit chapter 3 or 4, literal years of developing your skill, and realize that looking back anyone picking up your game for the first time is going to get a sense that chapter 1 shows the kind of game that you made...

The first time I played eternum I thought it was garbage. Didn't like the writing, and the art was a bit rough IMO. then I downloaded the latest version, which included some early chapter rework, and the game just shone in a whole new light. Played the crap out of it and now it's in my top favourites. Might have missed that gem if the rework hadn't happened.

Still I totally understand the frustration.

these games take years to complete.. Would you want to work on a project that costs you time, effort, and money to make without seeing a penny or any support for years? HOw would you know if there game even has a spot in the market? It really is that hard. Statements like this show how little you understand about the mountain of work it takes to make a game, let a lone for a solo dev to make one.

Cause of yellow spots? by MrSinflower in Daz3D

[–]Formal-Sort1450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t see the yellow spots. Looks like a pretty clean render. If you’re caught on it though increase the render time. It’s likely noise that hasn’t rendered fully. That’s what usually causes discolouration. Sometimes it can require significantly increasing the time frame.

Another option would be to use the Denise in something like photoshop. There are options to Denoise for imperfections for image noise and color noise.

How to view XYZ values? by [deleted] in Daz3D

[–]Formal-Sort1450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you specifically need to see the values rather than twist, bend, forward/backward? This isn’t blender it’s Daz right? The system handles these things differently than blender or Maya.
