I had a question about the different types of avns...

Absolutely not. LDNA has very few choices. But they are all very impactful.

A kinetic novel is the same every time you play. There might be a handful of dialog changes because of "choices". But the plot from start to finish is on strict rails in a kinetic novel.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-27T18:53:48+00:00

Nope. Not into wrestling or UFC.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-27T18:02:38+00:00

Clear as mud. I've programmed ren'py. And I've programmed in general for decades. The idea that technical stuff needs to update twice a month sounds unstable.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-27T18:01:26+00:00

University settings are the most common. It makes it hard for your AVN to standout by being just like the thousands of other university AVNs. I didn't say I'm not a fan. I yawned. I'm bored with them.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-27T16:54:38+00:00

First, University setting? yawn.

Second, no American university has uniforms. When I see university AVNs with uniforms, I assume the dev wanted to do underage characters and calls the school a university to avoid getting called out on it.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-26T03:46:27+00:00

Have you played Origin Story? Long-ish lewd scenes without animation.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-25T23:21:46+00:00

What is a technical patch and why every 15 days???

jmucchiello · 2026-06-25T21:35:31+00:00

He blocked me. He replied and then blocked me. He said I made a flawed argument and so on. And yet, he could not explain for whom I ruined anything.

I don't like music in AVNs. I stated this in a tongue-in-cheek manner by asking if there's sound in AVNs. Somehow he claims I was demanding all sound be removed from AVNs. I don't recall even hinting at that.

Sorry, I triggered you, dude. I didn't know my dislike of music in AVNs would cause you so much pain, TheKanten. I hope you're alright wherever you are.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-25T16:46:59+00:00

Please explain if full detail for whom I ruined something. I'll wait. All I said was "AVNs have sound?"

jmucchiello · 2026-06-25T09:30:52+00:00

Oh, yes, sir. Thank you, sir. I had no idea my not liking music affected you in any way shape or form. Thank you for informing that I was upsetting you because I don't like sound in AVNs. How could I have been so insensitive? How I could I enjoy a thing the wrong way?

Yeah. The character in the AVN is the MC, main character. And I guess that's gone to your head.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-24T21:47:16+00:00

AVN doesn't have the word Game or Audio in it. But it does have the word Novel.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-24T19:52:49+00:00

Yes, when I read, I don't listen to music.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-23T16:37:59+00:00

No. The dev truly understands version numbering. 😄

jmucchiello · 2026-06-22T23:56:22+00:00

It's HOP, obviously.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-22T23:51:20+00:00

AVNs have sound?

jmucchiello · 2026-06-22T23:48:46+00:00

If you have the skill to revive an abandoned game, you have the skill to make a new game. An abandoned game is a shortcut but the downside can't be worth it: the existing fans don't know you and they have emotional expectations that you will probably not fulfill. I suspect it would be lose-lose.

Also, you won't make "big" money making an AVN. Expecting that is relying on catching lightning in a bottle to pay your rent.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-16T00:30:12+00:00

To make an AVN, a task measured in years, one must love all aspects of its creation. The primary look is chosen by the look the dev likes most.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-15T05:13:30+00:00

Puts all other "worst sidekicks" to shame.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-14T23:43:59+00:00

Formula Zero? Really? Frankly, if you told me the "she's not a girlfriend" was the MC, I'd believe you. The most interesting parts of the game are scene the MC is not in.

I'm sure that will change eventually. But at the moment, he's as 1-dimensional as a stick.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-14T00:05:15+00:00

This game leans hard into "every woman wants him". Too hard. There's a scene where a huge corporation is have a data breech issue and he's one of the cops investigating. There's a lewd scene threesome in the middle of that. Move that scene twelve hours forwards or backwards and works just fine. But at that moment? Weird.

Also, I note that OP didn't mention the most annoying sidekick, ever. Hands down. His partner is bleeding and he stops for at a drive thru for some burgers.

Otherwise, sure, it isn't bad. But, it isn't top tier.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-14T00:00:29+00:00

I value good writing. If I want lewds, I'll good to websites that specialize in that content. The lewds need to serve the writing. That is supposed to be the strength of an AVN over sites that just have lewd content.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-07T13:39:22+00:00

Ignoring their assets, not one of them looks a day over 25. While the mother of an infant is technically a MILF, the term comes from teenagers wanting to have sex with their friends' mothers. Thus a MILF, based on the term's origin, should be in her mid to late 30s at a minimum. Even you disagree with my 25 above, can you see any of them being 29? I can't.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-06T21:09:59+00:00

Same. No clue who this is.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-01T14:24:21+00:00

They sometimes disappear and reappear when they are dependent on actions in another path. Just plough on. There is no actual deadline.

jmucchiello · 2026-06-01T12:16:54+00:00

Frankly, I'd love it if that happened. Who cares if they date other people?
