VN Ren'Py Mythos: Book One [v5.0.1 Hotfix] [Nine of Swords]

[damnedfrog]

What prevents me from filling in the questionnaire more than once? I don't want to influence the vote in this way, but maybe, possibly not everyone will be... fair.

Do you really think someone could be dishonest enough to fill in the survey several times?
No, I can't believe there could be any so unethical Mythies. It can't be!

For what it's worth, I looked into the form database and I have a good idea of how to look at entries that may be from the same source. Not perfect by any means, but it's easy enough for me to review!

Of course, it never occurred to me that not everyone is an impeccable gentleman/lady. I was just afraid that Nine might get suspicious after I ticked the "Sex is very important in the game" box 473 times. In ten minutes. Only yesterday.

It's still early in the data collection, but there's a shockingly large number of people who answered "0" to that "sex importance" question!

Well, I'm not totally surprise by this result, for your game.
I mean, sex isn't the focus of Mythos, it's more of an "add-on". The focus was always the story.
I think people that just want to fap on some lewd scenes have stop following your game a long time ago now. So it's left player who enjoyed it for the story, the lore, the humor... in brief for the writing.

Now, with my 3 for this question, I look like a total dirty pervert .
In fact, as I have already written, I don't necessarily want more sex scenes. But I would enjoyed more little displays of affection here and there. Not necessarily a long candlelit dinner scene. But you know, just some tender kisses, a simple "I love you" from time to time, some hugs and cuddles, even (f#ck, I'm about to transform in a Joshy92 ) some hand-holding.
I can't explain why, I find totally boring romantic straight scenes/stories, but enjoyed them a lot when it's between 2 women.
I'm arguably just the stereotype of the straight male who fantasizes about lesbians. But what can I said, I'm probably just a big fat pervert, I'll go with 3/10 on the sex question after all

All those possible Book Twos are simply fantastic!

If the others don't become Book Two are they then subsequent Books?

They're all possible Books 3 and beyond, for sure.

 

[damnedfrog]

Great!
It was difficult to choose between the 5 concepts. I must confess, it's the girl who make me choose .
So, there is material for 5 books. Plus book 1, it's just left 93 other concept to find to reach the 99 Mythos books.

Write whatever you feel like it, add a male LI if you feel like it as long as it's potential, and not forced.
Less sex, why not, but make it plausible, you can not go from horny-jump-in-each-and-every-panty to nope nothing. But it could be due to love being in the air, or having to move fast to face a threat and thus less time to have fun.
All the scenarii seemed good, the one with the prison break reminded me less of books i had read...
Just go with flow and have fun writing and rendering...

I filled in the poll, but to be honest, I'm not a fan of the public having a say in the work of the creator. I've written it down a few times, do it as you see best. I'm not against anything that fits the narrative.

Obviously, because adult game is not the same as porn game. (I think most of us are past the hormone-overloaded teenage years.)

I didn't see a way to tell you via the poll, but my opinion on the sex is this: it seems that intimacy and romance are important in games like this, but you wouldn't have to show all of it onscreen if you didn't want to. More important would be that the consequences be fleshed out. So, more time on story, less on meticulous sex scenes? That would be my preference.

On issues like 'which story, main character, who stays, who goes, etc.' I gave opinions but what I'd really want is what fires you up when you start writing. You're a good writer. I trust you.

Agree entirely, I think its because in the FF case I can see the appeal from both points of view, but in the MF case I can see it from his point of view but I can't understand what she sees in him.

For the sex content question, I think all an AVN really needs is that Buffy The Vampire Slayer recipe with the five classic ingredients:
Cute girls.
Interesting stories.
Cute girls.
Amusing dialogue.
Cute girls.

As long as you have all five of those you're golden, even if explicitly sexual content is minimal.

True.
But some of us can be in the hormone-overloaded boomer years.

 

[damnedfrog]

- For the question about Book Two, I kind of like the Fae one... but I kind of like the "beyond-gifted scientist that makes amazing gadgets for the Bureau" new character as well. So I'm going to advocate for the Son of Ether scientist to show up in the Fae story.

(Joking aside though, the idea of a more scientific/logical sort of charater being completely flustered by the odd rules and chaotic logic of the Fae does sort of tickle me a bit.)

I feel exactly the same.
I'm interesting in a book exploring more the world of the Fays (and not just because I hope to see more of Rain... OK, it's my main reason ).
But I want to meet beyond-gifted scientist. I love science girls. OK, I love girls in general, but science girls are the best!
It would be even greater if she doesn't believed in supernatural... I want to meet Scully!

Okay, but you're fit. For me, in the morning, already just my waist is stiff...
