No no no THANK YOU for the essay!!! Very informative and I love being able to talk about these things!
That's right they may be using a different engine, I honestly hadn't thought about that lol. I could do line by line but Love Lock is currently about 200,000 words long... that's going to be a lot of rewritten statements :S So I don't think I've be able to include putting in your own pronoun. Plus... if people put in anything under the sun, how would I structure that grammatically? o.o I have no idea... Though this issue comes in when people put in random names for their name as well. >~<
"They've" ok I had a feeling it was wrong. So yea.. that would be a huge issue. Which sucks cause I do want to give the ( They ) option. It wouldn't require too too much but it I would have to go through and code it line by line instead of plugging it in. Maybe when I'm closer to polishing these things I can go over it.
If you'd like to, I would happily accept that help! I just mostly need a list of the they's in comparison to how they work with he/him. The reason it has to be for he/him is cause:
he/she - went to the store.
him/her - and I blah blah.
his/her - time is up.
her is doubled and I won't know what's what. I ran into this issue months ago, so going with he/him and then converting it works the best. Which even just explaining this I'm seeing minor issues with her. "it's (His/Her)s!" Her is going to need a "s". but it doesn't ALWAYS need a s like "(His/Her) time is up." oof this is frustrating XD lolololololol DAMN YOU ENGLISH!!!! XD
That sounds incredibly frustrating, in my coding I just sort of... removed situations where third person pronouns are needed because I am a coward.
I'll try my best to do each context
[He] wants that - [They] want that
That doesn't belong to [him] - That doesn't belong to [them]
[His] friends are over there - [Their] friends are over there
Jess thinks highly of [himself] - Jess thinks highly of [themselves]
[He's] not very chatty - [They're] not very chatty (Present + Future tense)
[He's] done it - [They've] done it (Past tense)
I'm fairly sure this is all correct and don't think I've left out any context, but English is hard so I could be wrong. Hope this helped and good luck with the project, can't wait to see it finished
The Youtube channel is mostly just for the trailer video, but I do have a art video to post on there when I get around to editing it (to make it shorter/faster)
There are two areas I operate out of, Patreon and discord.
On the Patreon I offer the game itself in beta/WIP form, the 1st of each month I post an update of all the things I added the month previously. So everything I've made thus far is playable on Patreon but its still like rough draft, work in progress.
On Discord I show and share things in an announcement channel. I wanted to use a place like tumblr or twitter but I'm not sure how to go about that as content wise it might break the terms of services of these sites. Especially since tumblr has changed and no longer allows nsfw content.
I thought about maybe making a blogger but like lol does anyone even use blogger? and I don't think it's a place people would want to follow so I'm really stumped on where to put these things >~< So far that's why updates are only available on Discord, it's been the only place that feels safe.
Edit: Oh I forgot to add as well, that while I can make dev logs here on itch it's a bit of an awkward process. Like the dev logs are mostly written and they seem like a thing to use for "important" announcements, where as my updatey posts kind of consist of:
"HEY GUYS I DID THIS COOL THING CHECK IT OUT" lol or a "Check out this CG I'm proud of this one"
It doesn't seem very dev log... like... >~<
Sadly I do not have the funds to support you on Patreon at the moment (But if I do come into the money, I definitely will)
I will go search for the discord, thank you!
And by the way Twitter basically lets you post anything, but it can be a pretty toxic enviorment so that's the only reason I'd be against it. Tumblr would be good but you would have to tip toe around the different guidelines. Also, I have never heard of blogger, so I can see why you would be hesitant to make a related account on there.
Weird about the dev log, you'd think it would be easy so the dev could... log their process lol
That's a ok, I don't expect anyone to join Patreon, it was just the method I found to give updates that people were asking for. It's listed above but here's a link as well if you'd like it Discord.
I read up on that, about it being toxic because of a limited amount of characters to describe things and people misunderstanding. Though there may also be other contributing factors to consider towards its toxicity. Knowing my luck I would accidently make a mistake on tumblr and end up banned/kicked or deactivated (whichever method they use) :S
Blogger is like... 2011? lol I used it while in college it was part of the curriculum. It's nice the way the posts are set up as it creates a bit of a timeline. It's closer to having your own website I guess.
I'm sure the dev log works for some, I think it's just me struggling with it. I wish it was in a more blog like format is all. I thought about maybe making my own website through wordpress or something as well, but I really don't know what to do. Discord is working though, eventually when I find the platform I'll take all the posts from discord onto it and create a bit of an archive situation. :3 I'll do that for Keep or Kill as well and all up and coming titles.
Hey there I was brushing up on our they/them conversation we had and saw that previously you were asking once before about other places for updates. Not too long ago I started a site. https://bondagebunnygames.blogspot.com/
Took a while of debate and then I caved in to Blogger. lol it's there though in case you didn't find it in the page updated info stuff lol
