I didn't check his replies so I assumed that all of them were to me, I did post 4 times almost in a row, 2 without reply links so maybe it looked weird. Can't edit posts so I couldn't correct myself after realizing.
>CryptPad, Google Doc, Microsoft Teams, script isn't a text file
There's a million ways to slice a text file. On one hand I may be the only one left who still cares about this stuff to this extent, but on the other hand I did start off in this thread trying to look into the project in case I could do something for it, and failed. I just absolutely despise all these fucking web apps that require me to use a specific browser with specific settings to be able to view it, especially if there's not a need for it.
>The contributions of the artists actually increased after I stopped updating the script as regularly
I guess I stand corrected then, although the previous thread did last almost 2 years. Is this the right time to mention that the project is over 4 years old?
>Apparently the swimsuit was suggested by the guy in the drawthread who wants every girl to wear a swimsuit
I didn't mention it but I know there's some autist who has been requesting something like this ("wearing a swimsuit and playing in the mud") for many years straight in every draw thread on every imageboard, that actually makes it even worse because he's getting a whole lot of validation and attention from this.
>Are you really at the point where you're getting butthurt about there being too many portraits in a VN?
Depends on context. For someone's personal fetish and an OC that came out of nowhere and that nobody asked for and that isn't particularly attractive (in the same way that Libbie is), if the artist draws them just for the heck of it then whatever, but from the outside it looks like this is being made into a more significant part of the story. Now, it could be fun if there was a pool somewhere that you could go to, and this character was almost exclusively found there. Or maybe the story does need more side characters to fill in spots anyway, I dunno.
As for the spreadsheet, I already expressed my opinion which is that I think an expression requires context. I don't know what VNs are typically like, but it strikes me as a poorly communicated development process that reeks of modern game development and outsourcing when you fill a spreadsheet with out-of-context generic expressions instead of saying "we need these expressions for this scene". More art = more better, but the art should be designed according to an actual need, and my personal experience is that it's much harder to make art when you don't know what it's for. There's countless different ways and reasons to express anger for instance.
>When Xx_BigTittyLibbieLover_xX stepped in and started doing a lot of concept sketching, almost everyone was happy except for maybe a couple one-off posts from anons who didn't substantiate their feelings
He's not a bad artist and it's maybe commendable how productive (relative to typical anon productivity or lack thereof) he is, but he hits a critical WRONG in his depiction of Libbie, it's basically an entirely different character. I don't know how many people actually like it vs not liking it, but most people who don't won't say anything because they don't want to be rude in this kind of situations and maybe can't even put into words why they dislike it, so you mostly hear the positive comments who'll probably also push back against the negative ones.
It's possible that he's the only one who's willing and capable of doing proper art so maybe it was inevitable, but it's also possible that there's been other artists who turned away because the art was already being done or they didn't like the art style. I noticed a comment FROM HIM originally wondering if he's needed because there was already an artist at that time. I've personally been somewhat interested at different points in time, either doing art or helping other artists tweak theirs, but you can't join now without mimicking his style because he's so far off-design that a more correct drawing would look like a different character, and when something is this broken it's easier to just say "start over" than try to fix it.
It would be too arrogant for me to say that his art needs to be replaced, but at the same time it's very unappealing if you know what Libbie is supposed to look like, and makes me not want to participate. The old artist was also way off, but seemed like it was mostly due to lack of skill/experience.
>If the libbies look too buoyant for you then that's fine, but frankly I just think you're a homo.
I associate the obsession towards fatness with blacks and porn addiction (that atrocious slut shirt on brown (note: brown, not black as per the original design) Libbie isn't helping), and "mommy"/"cake"-style character designs with infantilization and porn addiction (I've seen more manga and characters like this than I can count and it's always because you want to be treated like a child or a weak/inferior being).
There's a difference between making a sexy depiction of a character or emphasizing boobs/hips/butt or other feminine features, and projecting some gross fetishes on it. You can use "buoyant" or whatever retarded words you want to skirt around what you're actually doing but [fat] is neither feminine nor healthy. It's also not attractive in reality which is partly why I refer to it as a porn addiction thing, because when you're addicted to porn you start to steer further and further from reality and becoming more attracted gross things like sunibee donut anuses. If you want to make that then that's your prerogative, but then you can't complain when I hate you for taking the community project featuring the traditionally attractive Libbie and turning it into that shit.
>my OWN project
>much of your motivation will need to come from malice
I know, I'd stop caring in a few days and regret making the promise to dedicate all that time on such a project. I don't even know anything about VNs because the closest thing to one that I've ever played was some Flash dating sims in Newgrounds. If I actually started a community project then it probably wouldn't be a VN.
>having a single golden copy of everything on GitGud
That would be my feedback if I stop complaining for a second. I should be able to just download all of the everything from one link, read the scripts and browse things, tinker with the code, build the game myself and play it. There should also be instructions or todo lists or something included that help in finding stuff to do and how to contribute.
I hate mega because I have no idea what it wants out of my browser, it randomly works and randomly doesn't, it works better on my "outdated" browser than on my newer one but then gets frozen when the download is at 100%, I'd have to install chrome or standard firefox or something to access the files. Just give me a fucking zip you fucking webdev cucks, browsers have links and downloads built-in, you don't need to build a 800 megabyte web app for it. Be thankful that I'm not a dictator or I'd incinerate all of you and all of your family 5 layers up your ancestry to make sure this shit never happens again.
Anyway, where to put the files is up to you or whoever's managing them. Maybe mega is more comfortable to use, but Gitgud allows a direct .zip download that doesn't require opening/learning their bloated web app: https://gitgud.io/retardmetal/sleepy_libbie_vn/-/archive/master/sleepy_libbie_vn-master.zip
This revolutionary technology allows you to click it and have the file appear in your downloads folder.
>I have frequently asked for input and suggestions regarding it throughout all the threads, and I get basically nothing in response
I haven't been around during those times so I can't tell how it went, but from my perspective I really don't even know where I'd begin contributing from here. I feel very blind towards the project in a way, and I don't know if/what I can/should contribute. Maybe I'd just annoy the writer who has his own plans. That's why I'd want some kind of comprehensive to-do list or outlining of the project, ideally all in the same download. Maybe nobody feels like they're "in charge" so everyone's waiting for someone else to decide things.
