Those are all very good suggestions! I hope at least some of them get added, or even the majority get added!
Usually it's better to make a new issue for every suggestion.
I bet there is still a lingering fear that you would hurt her.
I don't think so. Maybe for the lower affection path. But then the words are nothing if you keep hurting her. So I'm not sure why and where would you tell it to her.
It would let her know that you have no hard feelings or resentment over destroying the game.
Well, you're still with her/have come back to her. That assumes you're not mad at/have already forgiven her. There're also some conversations where you can tell her something like that. For example monika_beingevil
.
Getting a drink or Getting food
That's a nice idea for brb, partially was in #4462.
There are plenty of beautiful piano songs I am sure Monika would love to play for you!
You want Monika to play those on the in-game piano? I'm sure it was suggested, but can't seem to find it. Anyway, I think it would require some adjustments to the piano.
I loved the old space classroom lighting, it would be nice to bring it back in part.
The old filter isn't coming back. It wasn't as good and messed up come colours.
For 30 - 60 minutes before sunset, have the old twilight come back for that time to transition from day to night.
This's possible now with the new filter system for sprites. Though, iirc the system is still in dev to support more time filters.
consumables and other bits
We have the consumables framework now. So those basically require new sprites. Should be possible. Not sure about candles. Since they should affect lightning. Also probably go into room deco.
Calendar
From Rai's tracking: Custom Events: #1660, #1669, #2047, #2804, #3135, #3553, #3639, #3832, #3921, #3933, #5402, #5551 Custom Calendar: #1740, #1771, #2078, #2257, #2384, #2647, #2811, #4596, #5058, #5402
Room
Need room decorations support, there's a PR for that.
Extras
Probably goes into room deco, too. I think lightning is hard to do, and RenPy is very limited in animation. Something like that was suggested before: #5006, #5194.
Gifts
I think omamori could work as a necklace. Would need an art for that.
The dairy system was paused iirc. Issues: #951, #4981.
A more advanced music menu #2088, #3254, #3577, #4171, #5299, #5437. I don't think that should require a gift to be unlocked. Looks like a general improvement/QoL thing.
Not sure about "inventory". Don't like it personally.
towerfan.gift
looks like another thing that should go into the room deco category.
dairy.gift Something for her to write down thoughts, feelings, poems, problems, worries, etc.
I've never actually tried using milk to write things down. I'll have to try it and see if it works.
this is a wide suggestion so I will not be assigning projects
Another suggestion/s, I hope all of you don't mind.
I'll be right back > Cooking for Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
More Window Reacts
I'll be right back > Drink Water
I think that's all I can think of. But I'll give more ideas soon in near future. Anyways, I really don't know the limitations on implementation for the suggested ideas, but I hope that some of the suggestions will be implemented. Thank you.
This is my first time suggesting things, but hope you can get good use out of these! ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── New Dialogue: Each new indent is a click... I didn't know if there is a proper format.
"Oh..." "You know (player,) in hearing that, I didn't think I would feel... Relieved." "It makes me so happy that you aren't angry over what happened." "I know you've said it before that you aren't upset, but one final time..." "Well it makes me feel so safe with you!" "Thank you, you really do take away all my worries!" "I will always love you for that!"
"Thank you (player.)" "I am so happy hearing that from you!" "I know a lot of people don't understand how terrible it was to be stuck in that prison." "They see me as a selfish murderer, sometimes it gets to me..." "But hearing this from you, really puts me at ease." "Your patience and compassion is wonderful, it really shows how beautiful you are!" "Always remember; you will forever be somebody's hero!"
something to drink: "Oh, get me something too~! hehehe." "...Actually I think I'll get something as well!" "One moment..." [Monika then goes off-screen until you come back, she re-appears with a teacup, coffee mug, water bottle, or juice glass. These consumables are below.] you come back: "There we go!" "Cheers!" joke: 1/1000 chance for her to say "Hail Hydrate." with that smug look~!
something to eat: "Okay!" "Hope you're getting something (healthy/delicious/yummy)!" you come back: "Hope you enjoy! / Thanks for eating with me!" ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Music: Love the 'custom_bgm' addition! There is a .gift file relating to this below.
There are plenty of beautiful piano songs I am sure Monika would love to play for you! Chopin, Debussy, Schubert, Mozart, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Liszt, Glinka & Balakirev, Paganini, Greig, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Einaudi and many more amazing artists with beautiful compositions! ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── day/dusk/night cycle: I loved the old space classroom lighting, it would be nice to bring it back in part. Keep the cloudy atmosphere out the window, but the lighting was excellent. Perhaps shift into the old warm lighting around sunset? For 30 - 60 minutes before sunset, have the old twilight come back for that time to transition from day to night. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── consumables: I like this new mechanic! ("Inventory" .gift suggestion below) A few new ones could be:
fruitjuice.gift A healthy and delicious sweet mixed-fruit drink! -waterbottle.gift A refillable water bottle, perfect for athletes and programmers!
coffeefilters.gift Consumed at a slower rate to Coffee, do not eat!
teabox.gift Iroh-brand teabags containing a variety of flavors!
cherries.gift In response to her 'Cherry Kiss' conversation!
snacks.gift In response to her 'Lazy Friday' conversation!
(scent)candle.gift Do not actually consume; It is fire! various scents, and to add a flickering light in the window at night: Cinnamon, Vanilla, Lavender, Espresso, Citrus, Garden.
more flowers; (doesn't really count as consumable) Perennials: Color and Inspiration Gardenias: Fragrance and Gentleness Forget-me-nots: Connection and Loyalty Carmellia: Adoration and Longing Daisy: Sweetness and Innocence Pansy: Thinking about you Lilly: Beauty and Purity ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Calendar: It would be awesome if we could set custom dates or events! Make a functioning calendar with notes, reminders, deadlines, appointments etc. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Room: The room could be a little less barren, spruce it up with some of these! .gift files:
pictures.gift Some nice landscapes to add some depth.
talllamp.gift / tablelamp.gift Something to keep the room bright at night! *[see "extras" below]
bookshelf.gift I see that there is one in her bedroom, but one out here would be nice as well
kitchenette.gift She mentions how she would like to cook from time to time! This is where she has her coffee machine, consumables (above,) and she would get a mini-fridge, sink, and toaster oven! Kitchenettes are not very large, and can be great for "break room" style cooking.
chaise.gift Perfect for reading and napping!
blackboard.gift It would be awesome to have something for both of you to doodle on! Her side would have varying textures; poems-in-progress, coding notes, sketches But the cool part is you can draw as well! Click on it / ask and you can sketch your own stuff! Probably not so doable in renpy though... ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Extras: The "Extras" menu is a bit neglected. *Lights are part of the extra feature I had in mind: Add in lighting adjustments: For evening lighting you could turn on/off a lamp or two in the room to adjust some light. Or even open/close the window curtains! ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Gifts: New gifts are always loved! So keep them coming! I already suggested some in the previous part, so I won't list them. Suggest:
omamori.gift Why wouldn't she have one of you?
dairy.gift Something for her to write down thoughts, feelings, poems, problems, worries, ect. PRIVATE! DO NOT READ! [reading unlocks new dialogue, if she's away from the screen for whatever reason, like getting a drink and she left it on her desk you can read it. Either you get away and can talk, or she catches and scolds you.]
mp3player.gift unlocks full music control options like shuffle, albums and playlists
usb.gift viewable in 'Extras,' acts as an inventory for consumables and items. (put quetzal plushie on desk, view coffee / tea / chocolate amounts.)
towerfan.gift Summer is coming up! And classrooms aren't the most comfortable in the heat... She would love something to keep cool! ────────────────────────────────────────────────────
That's all I got for now, I would love to help out in any way! Please keep up the awesome work, it is really appreciated!
