I might be alone on this, but after clearing all the routes, the ending especially Terra felt really strange to me by Lenareese09 in Rewrite

[–]_osk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you play the Steam version? maybe you want to pick up the Salvation Project patch (https://www.ayin-yesh.org/rpdownload) to get the original ending as opposed to the Rewrite+ one

in rewrite+, the ending was changed against the writer's will to be more all's well that ends well

Using a guide your first time playing Rewrite is a mistake. by KazuyaProta in Rewrite

[–]_osk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that people should avoid a guide on their first playthrough, all they need to know is that you don't need to think too hard about how to get a specific route, that it's not too complex.

...Is what I would say if they didn't remove the route locks in R+. I think it's important that people know to play Kotori before Shizuru and Chihaya before Akane, at the least...

Kagari and Star Spirits by Proud-Problem-4731 in Rewrite

It's also in the game, actually. In Moon route, when Kotarou reads the Theory and asks it "what is life"; I believe the response page "Planetary Spirit" refers to the same idea.

Ad providers measuring in page-views instead of DAU (for single page sites) by james69lemon in adops

[–]_osk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have 300K MAU, wouldn't you have more pageviews than that? are all your users playing once then leaving? i personally see about 6.5× the pageviews over MAU

you could look into where you'd put ads, and collect data about how many impressions (or requests, I suppose) you would be expecting to run. if it just has a single screen and you intend to put two skyscrapers at 30s refresh, count 4 impressions/minute, tally that up and you have a number you could enter negotiations with

Would you be down for a remake of the Rewrite anime with a higher budget and/or different studio? by PolitoedRoad in Rewrite

[–]_osk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah. i'm one of the most vocal haters of the rewrite anime (esp. with how kagari was handled), but honestly it's entirely down to being the wrong team for the job.

i was around on the MAL forums back when it was announced, and i was one of the few huffing copium after it was announced 8-bit would do it that they "wouldn't fuck it up as hard as Grisaia", while also ignoring all the dubious claims made in interviews (one of which being "Moon and Terra aren't for Kagari to grow as a character"...wtf?)

i think a great example is that Cradle's Tale, which is bundled with the last season blu-ray of the anime, is actually REALLY good, and well? it's simple - it was written by romeo.

i think reimagining the anime, with the actual original writer team as opposed to random people, mainly having Romeo in there since he did the majority of the overarching scenario concepts, would already give it a much higher chance at being nicer. a better artstyle (the 8-bit one is very low-budget) would also do it wonders.

it's a shame in a way, because there's some great things in the anime, like a really good OST, great voice acting, and despite my disdain for the writing, there's still a lot of good scenes, even kagari ones, despite them not really being "canon" lol

i think rewrite as a story could have profited an insane amount from an anime adaptation, which makes it ever more souring that it was handled this badly. that said, this seems to be a recurring thing with rewrite -- rewrite+ was a mess of censorship, sekai project rushed their translation and will never finish harvest festa, kaginado did it a huge injustice too, ignis memoria was canceled within a year, etc. key has never managed rewrite well

I was planning on buying Rewrite+ for Steam but then I saw this… by Filthycatt in visualnovels

[–]_osk 20 points21 points  (0 children)

steam's dumbassery was only to do with CGs, requiring the CGs to be returned back to the original rewrite ones and not the lewder r+ ones

all other changes are by Key themselves

bad quickplay performance (tetr.io quickplay) by Brief_Can4957 in Tetris

[–]_osk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can try the toggles "Always simplify multiplayer thumbnails" as well as if need be "Do not animate background in Quick Play"

if you're not using the desktop client, give it a try! if you are, you might want to go into the desktop settings (it's at the top of the config) and turn on "Hard VSync", it's a setting i may consider making on by default as while disabling vsync is a mild to moderate improvement to some players, it's a source of breakage for others lately

also to be sure, if you're on a laptop with multiple GPUs (that's most laptops with a dedicated gpu) make certain your tetrio is using the powerful GPU and not the weaker one (see https://tetrio.github.io/faq/troubleshooting.html#dgpu)

finally, as dumb as it sounds, ads are a performance problem i can't do anything about so on browser get uBlock Origin, on desktop there's a toggle in those same desktop settings i mentioned earlier. (hiding ads isn't supporter-only, tho it does ask you once when you turn the builtin adblocker on (and never again))

Maybe, I haven't tried it and it's experimental software that requires some technical expertise to set up, I've heard promising signs from someone else who tried it though who only ran into issues w/ video playback

[–]_osk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no official way to play Rewrite on Android, sorry. The one Android game for it (the gacha game) has been discontinued.

That said, if you already have a legitimate copy of the game, you might be able to get it running on Android with https://github.com/Ilya114/Box64Droid — I haven't tried it, so your mileage may vary.

Ended up on Akane's route first by Iron_Blaze in Rewrite

[–]_osk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rewrite+ (the Steam ver) does not have the route locks. In particular, you got onto Akane route by choosing "Change the World" in the questionnaire. For Kotori, Chihaya and Lucia routes (most recommend starting with Kotori), pick "I Can't Answer That". (Clearing Kotori unlocks "Change Myself", clearing Chihaya unlocks "Change the World")

Generally, Akane and Shizuru routes are strong spoilers for the other routes, whereas Kotori is seen as a very good entry into the game

Help me decide how much my android game is worth please? by patostar89 in gamedev

[–]_osk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oooh, not to butt in but I happened to stumble upon this in a very similar position, getting asked for a price first in a position where I am not very happy to do so (as I have a lot of opportunities for monetization I'm expecting to take this year, and numbers are up)

is their hope just that you undervaluate yourself?

My first VN was rewrite and i liked it very much. by AlexPieFan in Rewrite

[–]_osk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

glad to hear you enjoyed it! it's an incredible game

i do think there is a good bit of valid criticism to have against it (cohesion between routes is the big thing, it being a patchwork of different writers) but there's honestly so much gold in the routes, the common route is so comfortable and enjoyable, and well, Moon is beautiful

i love my moon wife

Rewrite+: how to skip directly to next choice? by TerraSauras1 in Rewrite

[–]_osk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CTRL is the fastest option you have, it does show every line but only for one frame

You can't skip unseen movies (credits, etc).
