Because not everybody sees this as a mistake
i hate when writers of creators of something change their work because of couple people crying about what they did with their own characters in their own world. Making the characters realistic. No one is perfect. Dylan is not perfect. Instead of Dylan learing from his mistake or something its just removed. Characters learning from their mistakes and growing as a person is a basics of writing.

I think I'm probably one of the people most critical of Ellie, for example. Most I think just have no interest in her as a character. But what I love about the route, is that she is growing as a character. As an example, I've talked before the update about how I hoped her relationship with Julia would show her that you can actually have a relationship that's based on an emotional connection, instead of the "moron" basketball player, or the international model.

Two relationships that are incredibly shallow, and based purely on her getting ahead to head cheerleader. And during the conversation while they're sunbathing, you can actually see how her relationship with Julia is entirely different.

I think that Sam maybe the same and both Sophia and Sam have an emotional connection but we would need to see more of Sam and Sophia together to know for sure.

But what is the weakness in Sam's character that he has to overcome? At least the way you see it.

Sam is afraid of being seen as a nerd by others, a pervert by his ironically perverted father, and is struggling with coming to grips with his love for a mature woman that literally could've been his mom.

Shudder... I hate Liam, but Niel is a full on prick.

This argument over the Twist and if Dylan can grow as a character only comes out after he is caught and shut out from finding his love with Sophia, or anybody so the bleeding betrayal still only hurts the story.

Oh I have my own theories about Neil based on the Julia scenes, like why she has to dress conservatively at home, and not even allowed to own a bikini. The only reason she can wear one during the Ellie/Julia event is because she hides it with Ellie.

I expect Neil is just thinking "Oh shit when I was at College I was shagging my way through all the Cuties. I don't want my Daughter getting banged up by some loser like me." So he's way too over protective as a result. :unsure:

Yeah, I think I can see what you're saying. Maybe Julia needs Patricia's .45...

Humming... "Julia's got a gun. The whole world's come undone. What did her daddy dooooo?"
I think its a bit more serious than that. I mean she's not even allowed to wear nice things at home. That sounds to me like she needs to be protected by someone at home. And we know that Sam is into MILFs, so it's not him.

It's be interesting to see the rest of their house, to see what it says about them as a family. Since so far we've only seen the living room, kitchen and Sam's house.

No I agree with you Allie_Cat. Her dad is the one whom tries to ruffie Sophia in front of her own husband, his best friend, so he can rape her in her own home. He's a shit, and Julia needs escape. Sam could help but he's too busy hiding himself to do it. Amber is too addicted to SOB to see it, so its not her to be the champion. That leaves Sophia, Ellie, and the take no prisoners Patritia. That .45 is not a joke.

Sophia has already offered to sort out Neil.Also how would Sophia feel about having fun with Julia,without Ellie?
Ellie would probably enjoy watching them together,secretly.

1) My moving is really killing me at the moment. There's every day countless of s**t to do. Every day deliveries, building ups and many problems. Some things are defective and need to be replaced. A lot of trash every day to be disposed of and so on.
I just have to catch up on everything which I couldn't do before when I was working on the last update. So, I'm sleeping like 2-3 hours, hardly eating and get wake up by deliveries or people to build up stuff every morning. My wardrobe will be delivered only tomorrow, so my working room is also a mess!
In between and in the night until 5 a.m., I'm sorting files and preparing everything for the next update. I will finish it this night. Then I will need around 2 days for the story/event preparation for the next update and then start working on it finally. But of course there's still a lot to do in the apartment as you can see.
But at the end of October it should be all over and I can focus just on the game again. I also don't plan any break until end of May next year.
2) I changed my currency from Dollar to Euro. Everyone who has been my supporter before, will still keep paying the same dollar price. For all who are living in the EU, you should change to Euro for the support to not paying charges unnecessarily.
3) As for the help. I'm, currently looking and also communicating with some professional storywriters. Although I got all events and story planned, it's the story details of the event and dialogues who are really tricky and time consuming. So, if someone could help me out here, it would save me some time.
Plus I'm looking for someone who can help me during the Programming & Translation part. This means, he/she needs to be online every day for at least 8 hours for a live chat (only during this P&T part). This person should speak German and English perfectly. That would help me a lot to speed up this translation part when I don't need to look for phrase translations and wordings for hours and hours.
All I can say is that there are some really hot scenes planned for the next 3 playable days. Especially end of playable day 13 and 14! Of course we're talking here about more and much more daring scenes then we got now. Mostly hetero. And of course in the future too. There will be probably also a time jump of a week again at the end of the next playable day 12. It's actually due to a new little event storyline with Sophia, which will have some great hot impacts later.
4) I won't do a poll about removing the twist with Dylan but just do it. And we're talking here about the boarding school scene if you refused Aiden's deal and not about Dylan's POV!
It's fact that Dylan didn't mean anything bad and I could explain everything what is actually also written in the game! But it's also fact that many reacted negatively on that. I don't want Dylan to be moved into the negative field. That's why I will remove that twist, so that Dylan did no deal with Aiden.
The thing is, that anyway this wouldn't change much in the further course of the story. The boarding school storyline is anyway a dead end for Dylan and Sophia. It's rather Dylan's approach to Amber!
So, you wouldn't lose anything here either way. With the twist or without!
As soon as the development display will set to 0%, you'll know that I started the actual work on the next update.
That means Bennett final scene will be much earlier-in less than a week game time.
And I was right that the scene at the boarding school means nothing.Obviously if you on that path you don't want Sophia/Dylan to be a thing and you don't care what happen before.
L&P really should get a vacation and deal completely with the moving.
Someone must ask is he get a help from Ivan:)

So this is the update plan for 2021/22?! :coffee: :giggle:
Pretty much.
Unless he really get some help and we maybe,just maybe will get also day 15.Aand if we are exremely lucky-day 16.
