Free Roaming Possible in Kocho!


Hello everyone! Sooo, In the past couple days I've been trying to turn SisCon into a free roaming/non linear VN.

Well, tbf I've tested if those features could be achieved on a different Kocho project. 

I've had some issues with variables not resetting and the only option available to fix this is to add an invisible "button" as big as the screen, that resets the various interactions variables. Which means, some kind of interactions like those in "Love & Sex: Second Base" by Andrealphus (my ideal VN in terms of technical aspects) can be somewhat achieved, at the price of having to tap the screen one more time.

On another note, I added a [TIME] variable that, when it is >24, it forces a sleep event, plus a clock that, when interacted with, will tell what time it is. Moreover, the character I used for the test run is available only at a certain time of the day.


So far so good, I'd say. But the main problem is that Kocho is limited and I can't really have some kind of pop up or square with stats updating "visually" (idk how to say it). Any update has to be done in the form of a text. Which is sad.


I've been thinking that probably it's time to switch either to Ren'Py or Godot - probably Godot, because I have a bit of C++ knowledge and I find it less troubling to write the code from scratch than change the various things already there (to personalize a Ren'Py version of the game).


Anyway, I'll upload the test apk in a couple hours, when Kocho will review it or whatever it does before giving me my file.

I uploaded the test apk, in case you want to try the feature, cause I suck at descriptions.


Uhm, well, thanks for reading and see you in the next update post.
