Hello friends, I wanted to write this on Caribdis's Discord server but access seems to be somewhat restricted so I'm settling down here for the time being.
I've been thinking about my experience a lot and read some comments; I think I'm not alone with the notion that losing paths sucks. It can happen quite easily and when it does, it drops all progress with that girl. The walkthrough can help but it's also a spoiler minefield that drains immersion.
So, I'm planning to create a 100% free mod for the game, provisional name: 'Causality'. It's quite simple: After each decision, it analyzes your game state and issues a small warning if (and only if) that decision will inevitably cause loss of paths, lewds or endings; now or in the future. It's targeted at first time players and will therefore be as spoiler free as I can make it.
Right now this is just an idea but making it real should be quite straightforward. Still, I want to be on the safe side and it would help a lot if you told me...
1. Is modding even allowed? It will involve reverse engineering and I'd feel better about it if I had the dev's go-ahead.
2. Does something like this already exist? Am I reinventing the wheel?
3. Do you think a mod like this would be useful? Could it've helped you?
Sorry for abusing the comments as an impromptu forum~
