i have a suspicion that some texts are ai... em dashes can sometimes be seen. i understand the feeling of having to write really specific text that also accounts for past and future events for 10 characters with 10 stages and varying environments but i feel kinda cheated. i hope im wrong though as the game really feels worked on and also from what i can tell the sprites and the code are completely man made (also any plans for stages 11+ or new characters?)
How can this claim be completely verified other than CringeIndeed responding to these elements? Common techniques or not, there are other indicators. Markdown styling that AI often generates but isn't interpreted properly by Ren'Py is also present. I'm not saying I'm certain either, but a response denying this would put everyone at ease. This is not intended as libel/slander, but an invitation to dispel these worries.
I do get what you mean, there's rampant staccato writing that has constant line-breaks to suggest emphasis in some scenes and many other tells and common AI phrases that keep showing up. Like, I'm staring at the text for Ashley's later scenes and it's riddled with common tells.
"Ashley doesn't sit again.
She can't.
The shape is different now.
No longer just dense.
It's **round**. Packed.
Her belly drops.
Not just forward-but down.
She tries to straighten.
She can't.
Each step is deliberate. Wide.
Her voice is a whisper. Not regretful.
Just deeply full."
Stuff like that. If one of my projects read like that, I'd want to know the feedback. Especially since it doesn't read like other parts the author wrote.
The dev shows in the roadmap that a lot of the text is placeholder. Since we don't run into any "SCENE NOT IMPLEMENTED YET" dialogue, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that they mean assisted writing in some scenes that will be cleared up later. Either way, they clearly have put in work, so like you I'm not looking to slander, I just hope the more jank writing segments get another pass in the future.
