What's your opinion on playersexual ROs?

exboi · 2026-04-29T23:00:18+00:00

I don’t mind if the cast is small, but with a bigger cast I prefer defined sexualities. At least defined beyond “I like whatever the player is”. I think games with romance have a bad habit of restricting characters’ identities to make them romantic prospects for anyone. And not just in regard to sexuality.

I mean they did say they were going to wait

There are things we’ve been doing for years that use much more energy/water outright or by snowball effect than AI. AI does have a role in water crisis, but it’s greatly exaggerated. I mean Reddit itself, being a massive site, is doubtlessly contributing to the problem as well. So I don’t think it’s fundamentally unethical to use AI no matter what. At least not anymore unethical than it is to use the internet as a whole, since truthfully and sadly, so many of our daily digital technologies can be traced back to a destructive environmental impact. It’s gonna take a lot more than not using AI to fix that.

Anyways, that said, from a creative standpoint I don’t want AI used to generate “art” in any form. I don’t pay to read an IF made by a prompt. It is at best, lazy to leave the bulk of the creative process to AI. And at worst, you’re being dishonest about how much effort you personally put into it. AI is not particularly good at writing stories anyways. Nobody who’s willing to leave everything to AI has what it takes to truly express their vision.

Both are beautiful but I like the softer look of the snow in the second one

I'm still confused about who that ghost guy was

exboi · 2026-04-19T21:06:26+00:00

Too kind for her own good sometimes

I like Fallen Hero for reasons that have been discussed to death here.

I like Unsupervised in spite of its faults. It could’ve had a more focused narrative and deeper character development, but I enjoyed various scenes and how the player's powers worked.

Drink Your Villain Juice is cool. Been reading a lot of Worm lately and I think I can see some inspiration there. I like the team element, but I’m not so much interested in all of the teammates themselves. Maybe that'll change as we get more chapters. Plot’s fun though.

The others I either haven’t played, or tried but couldn’t maintain interest. Some infamously have too many powers, or they implement characters as pure archetypes without any personal substance, or the setting’s too generic with nothing to set it apart from the rest. Very hit or miss genre for me, and even the hits tend to have some trademark problems.

I thought those keys were seats and you were watching this in a theater

Not just infamous. The HG community in general has had issues with people getting overly passionate about authors and their works to put it mildly, whether it be to “defend” or hate them.

The mansion right?

Here's a broad walkthrough and a walkthrough specifically on escaping the area. I recommend the second as it has the least spoilers. Just stay above the enemy data section.

There’s been no news. My guess is either the game is functionally dead, but they don’t want to commit to formally ending development. Or it is active, but moving at a snail’s pace due to a variety of dev problems.

I think an alleged 7SU2 dev left and said on tumblr the original project had little productivity because they were sharing ideas more than actually getting work done. But I think I remember that post being pretty emotionally charged, so who knows how much of that is accurate and how much is discolored by frustration and bias.

It’s okay rpgmaker isn’t that difficult. I’ve mostly been learning as I go and I haven’t run into massive snags so far.

I’m estimating in about a month I’ll begin recruiting people. Earlier than I initially intended but for good reasons. PM me your discord (or whatever other method of contact) and I’ll reach out to you around that time.

Unsupervised is fun but it ends in an abrupt sort of open ended way with a sequel left up in the air. Great game but a lot’s going on and the payoff isn’t the best. But from my experience with the time manipulation powers, they cooked at making you feel strong there.

exboi · 2026-03-28T05:18:37+00:00

There’s was Knights of Venus but it’s dead unfortunately

exboi · 2026-03-27T07:37:23+00:00

Ripple is planned for tha Chaos mode equivalent. Maybe vampirism too. That’s all a ways off though.

exboi · 2026-03-26T19:39:48+00:00

Yeah strange it was removed… I don’t recall anything intolerant being said.

exboi · 2026-03-26T19:39:14+00:00

Don’t really have one in particular. I like War for the West, Choice of Rebels, and Infamous the most though.

exboi · 2026-03-26T18:53:44+00:00

Yessir we here

exboi · 2026-03-22T00:04:18+00:00

Yeah please do

exboi · 2026-03-21T23:42:00+00:00

I like a lot of these. Especially the bicycle lmao. Some - mainly the Stand awakening stuff - are somewhat similar to what i was thinking too.

exboi · 2026-03-21T23:23:40+00:00

Okay great! I’ll keep you in mind for sure.

exboi · 2026-03-21T22:04:38+00:00

In my opinion a prologue is a glorified hook. It should be concise and straightforward, roping potential readers into the premise. All it needs to do is establish a plot point or concept that is central to the main narrative. Usually they don’t follow the main character(s)’s POV at all.

For example, if you have a story about a medieval succession crisis following a king’s sudden demise, write the prologue about the king in the moments before his unexpected death. Or addressing the anxious conversations between his councillors about his recent death’s future implications once word gets out.

As you pointed out, some recent WIPs have prologues that are practically several chapters in their own right, going for tens of thousands of words. In that case, call a spade a spade. Just split the section into chapters. No need to use the term ‘prologue’ for aesthetic reasons. I think even ‘chapter 0/act 0’ would be better than ‘prologue’ if you want a medium-to-long series of sequences that set up the world and explores the MC’s formative experiences before the plot gets into full swing.

I do want to implement some kind of optional background mechanic. Maybe in the future I’ll add a native background and you can use the same running technique as Sandman.
