Others Last Man + Countdown DLC [v4.10] [Vortex Cannon Ent.]

[Crim]

@Crim
I work on the game alone, I do not have designers, artists, and so on. I am also not a professional.

You don't need designers, 99% of the visual content isn't yours. It's just clips from existing porn or stills/renders from existing places. For what little you do need, you could afford to pay someone if you really wanted.
Also, by definition you are a professional. I don't know if English is your first language but in order to qualify as a professional you need only to receive money for what you're doing. Which you do.

without playing a game, and says that game is bad, it is not criticism.

When most of what he said is accurate, of course it is a criticism. I have played the game and I expanded on what he said, and that's a criticism too.

To write that game A is better than game B, this is not a criticism too.

To compare one thing to another is a legitimate way to criticise something. If I say Diablo 3 should have a roll system the same way Path of Exile does because it's better, you don't get to unilaterally claim that somehow that isn't critique of Diablo 3.

Honestly the game relies on RNG (RNG IS BAD.... like seriously... its bad! lol) i mean... i need to reload the save at least once or twice if the walktrough says "you're gonna receive an SMS from this character" and then i didn't... if your advice is to wait till it does and do something else... its not really recommended because the game got a day limit! and the thing you have to do is just gonna stack up and in the end you're not gonna be able to do them (because you're gonna get hit by another thing that doesn't trigger lol)

also... getting money in the game is also RNG...and the gain is pretty dang low even if you got perfect on it you get like... what? 5k? and sometime you need like...100k for this scene,50k for that scene,and 100k for this....its.. just... unbalanced especially since it need a freaking energy to do them and energy is important because if you run out... its sleep time for you...end of the day! and 1 day is important if you don't want to miss anything (so please increase the amount you get per game 40k-50k/energy sounds good enough)

ofc there's the option to "fuck it all and just play it blindly".....i wanted to...but my own self screaming "noooo don't do that you need to them all!" xD

Walkthrough is just example, you do not need to follow it exactly. The game has enough days and money for all quests. You do not need to restart the game, all quests will trigger while you continue other tasks in game. Like a week ago I was able to finish game with 100% without cheats and restarts, no problem here.

EDIT: But ok, I will make a change to the next build: the seed number will be permanent, all quests will be pre-generated. Restarts will no longer needed (they will not change seed).

 

[DillionWhore]

Maybe we (that means YOU readers, not me ) should try and write a stub service for this game so you can play locally without online BS.

 

[KaneB.C.]

You can just play the public version. I constantly add new content to it as soon as it is ready. Make donations only if you want.

This game is free.

Because this game works online. This is indicated in the first post.

Is there a way to play this game without signing in?

 

[AlexLudwig]

Hi, how to increse Alpha? I have 22 and 23 is required for natasha... Please Help

@SirTwist
I thought about your proposal again. I will once again consider the hosting options for the game auto-update system. Then the game will be updated in small patches, without re-downloading the client. If I find a server with reasonable prices, the last one was very expensive due to the huge traffic

Not really true about the professional part.
To be a professional, you must pr. definition have aquired some sort of skillset/training to get better. Being paid isn't enough to be a professional.

You can for instance be an amateur photographer and get payed to do pictures, but when you haven't recieved any education in photography, you aren't a professional and you never will be.

i was waiting mod for this game or something... always get end early because my days are over

You can increase the number of days on your account with some events, quests or achievements.

Even if I accept your definition, which I don't. Coding is a skillset, so it's irrelevant. Makes no difference.

 

[tranhoaivu19999]

Anyone can help me? I have brought flower in the game but i don't know how to use it. I don't see it in the inventory

 

[Arvind]

If you buy the flowers it should automatically be delivered to one of the girls

I guess I am pretty much a professional at everything I do then, because I have "skillsets" inside various types of subjects.
That's not how the world works, you'll probably get that, when you get older, I guess.

First sentence on wiki:

Yeah, and if you look into some of the most prestigious dictionaries, they say somewhat the opposite.
I wouldn't rely on Wikipedia.

Be mindful of context. We are talking about someone who uses their skillset to make money. That is the definition of a professional in their field.

Wrong.

Oxford:

Engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as an amateur.

Merriam-Webster:

: participating for gain or livelihood in an activity or field of endeavor often engaged in by amateurs

Cambridge:

used to describe someone who does a job that people usually do as a hobby

Wrong.

Oxford:

Merriam-Webster:

Cambridge:

Merriam-Webster:
a calling requiring specialized knowledge and often long and intensive academic preparation

Oxford:
connected with a job that needs special training or skill, especially one that needs a high level of education

Cambridge:
relating to work that needs special training or education
having the type of job that is respected because it involves a high level of education and training



It is a job you are trained for, but some people without the training does it as a hobby.
They are not professionals though, they are amateurs.

Amateur - learned it without training/education/etc.
Professional - had training/education/etc.

 

[ZecoRho]

Subject does not need to adhere to all definitions of the term. Just one.

Merriam-Webster:
a calling requiring specialized knowledge and often long and intensive academic preparation

That's not a definition of "Professional", that's the definition of "Profession". And not 2 lines further in the same definition: "a principal calling, vocation, or employment". So yes, making porn games for money is a profession.

Oxford:
connected with a job that needs special training or skill, especially one that needs a high level of education

One of the definitions on the same page (if you bothered to scroll further ) is "doing something as a paid job rather than as a hobby".

Cambridge:
relating to work that needs special training or education
having the type of job that is respected because it involves a high level of education and training

Same here("used to describe someone who does a job that people usually do as a hobby"). You just didn't read far enough.

 

[BobTheWankerDK]

I guess we are both right then, but we don't share the same thoughts on the definition.

If I hired a professional pilot, I would like to believe, that the pilot had training and that he didn't just believe it himself.

I guess for some people it depends on the work that's done too.
If a porn game "maker", is doing a crap job, then they are amateurs, if they are doing a great job, they are professionals - regardless of the money.


In my line of work irl, my colleagues and I regard ourselves as professionals, since we've all wen't through college and university to be bachelors and candidates in our field. A person without the same education, working along us, wouldn't be seen as a professional like us, regardless of them receiving the same paycheck as us. We've worked hard to achieve our status as professionals - money is not the case in this. Not that we value ourselves more that others, but we have a larger skillset and are able to see things in a different and larger spectrum.

 

[SirTwist]

Okay, Vortexcannon, I have been giving things some thought. I want to change my idea. Instead of day by day, or event by event, I had a new idea. This may help everyone out. Here goes, an achievement guide. This maybe a walk through, of sorts, or a guide. Such as for this achievement, you need to do this. For this one, you need to this. And so on. This can be separate from the game. One copy on your website, the other here.
