Kanbe Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 This is talking about stuff like settings or any feature that makes playing the game more enjoyable. For me, I wish all games have the scene jump feature (jump to a previous scene via backlog). I get really salty if I'm playing a game that doesn't have it cause I might want to read a scene again or accidentally skipped over a part I want to read. Quote
mitchhamilton Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 scene jump? yes. they should also have the option to not skip voices when you go to the next text. a sprite viewer would be nice as well. MercyZombie, Silvz, Dergonu and 2 others 5 Quote
Arcadeotic Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 A decent backlog Quicksave option Textbox transparency Skip to next choice/skip common route option These are just some of the essentials Kawasumi, mitchhamilton and Silvz 3 Quote
Monmon Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I really want Scene recollections feature like Grisaia, its not just H-scenes but other stuffz too. Mr Poltroon, TigerNex, Akahime and 2 others 5 Quote

sub-zer0 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I would personally wish for a timer to keep progress of how much time I have spent on one vn or route, some vns have that feature while others don't but it would be really nice for moderns vn to add that feature.

Wow, I thought every VN nowadays has an option for that. +1 for decent backlog. Also more than 100 save slots would be nice seeing I used 200/1000 slots when playing Yomeyaba 19 minutes ago, john 'mr. customer' smith said: an orgasm countdown.

One of the most useful features of any pornographic material is having some form of cue that lets you know when the scene is about to finish so you can follow along without worrying. Nothing feels more bitter than finishing before the people on the screen do and then being forced to watch the content you missed out on. john 'mr. customer' smith, Rose, Silvz and 2 others 5 Quote
MercyZombie Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 A gallery with all the music in it. And I do mean all of it, including variations. You are hard to find any today that don't do this but there is occasionally some that slip up. Yes this annoys me more than it should. Quote

I was really dissapointed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Skip scene mode. Like in Tsukihime. Whole scenes in one click, not with superfast-forwarding type 'skip' we have in 95% of VNs. Quote

OriginalRen Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Character depth. I absolutely love when a game adds depth and draw distance to the character's sprites. Some games can do it better than others, but when the artist takes the time to draw "back-shot" sprites and make them smaller to show that the protagonist is in front of the group, it really says a lot. Newer VNs have started to implement this, and I respect that kind of dedication. solidbatman, Gibberish and Vorathiel 3 Quote

Ladies irl would also love you more if you dont get off before they do. Quote

Newer VNs have started to implement this, and I respect that kind of dedication. To follow up on this, more dynamic sprites. Live 2D is promising but can only go so far without a decent artist/good direction. Noble Works sprites are a good example of the type of stuff I like. Sprite poses that arent just typical facing the camera type. Quote

Ladies irl would also love you more if you dont get off before they do. As a man, I only get to orgasm once every so often, that's why it's important I know when the scene is about to reach the peaking point so I can adjust myself accordingly. The problem isn't the person finishing too early because of premature ejaculation (especially because if you're just masturbating by yourself you can easily adjust when you're finishing), the problem is you thinking the scene might be reaching the climax, and so you prepare yourself for that final moment, only to then have the scene pull a faint on you and actually continuing longer than expected, but your hand already went too far and now you have semen on you and you're forced to look down in shame as the people on the screen continue having fun and you no longer take part in the action and have to go through your cooldown period with a bitter smile.

Funyarinpa Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I think the biggest lack is a flowchart. Quote
Nosebleed Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Flowcharts are even more useful if they have a jump function.Tasogare no Sinsemilla has a really good in-game flowchart with every single flag, major scene and every single branching point that lets you jump to any point in it if you want to instead of forcing you to use save-points. And if you forgot what scene each square refers to, don't worry, because hovering over one gives you a summary of that scene as well so you're never lost. Screenshot (very zoomed out and the chart is not completed yet since I haven't finished the game): Spoiler I would say this is only useful if you have a lot of branching paths though (and by that I mean different branches within the common route itself). Most charage/moege don't really need one. Vorathiel 1 Quote
Dergonu Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Think most of these were already mentioned, but they are the ones I think are essential. Skip to next choice option The ability to re-load from a line in the backlog Don't interrupt voices by going to the next un-voiced line Ejaculation counter option Scene recollection for everything, H-scenes in its own category "Skip common route?" Option, (unless all the heroine specific choices are in the common route) Re-play opening movies etc in the menu Sprite viewer, preferably something more advanced like in Kono oozora: flight diary Date display EDIT: Backround H-scene voices, yes! So ... boring when there are none. Flowcharts. Havent played many VNs with them, but they seem really handy. VirginSmasher 1 Quote
