)Yeah, got it. One more question, what is the difference b/w Unofficial and Official v2.61? Any drastic difference?

Friends, can someone plz spoil for me; if I am interested in group/cuck scenes, should I choose the faithful or cheating route?
Does it matter?
Thank you!

You can choose any route ,since you have Recollection room which unlocks all the scenes that are not in your current(chosen) route!!
But my opinion there isn't much scenes dedicated to faithful route atleast for now!!so choose the later one!

Also, for those not familiar with Irish names; Aoife is pronounced: Eefah

Yeah thanks, the dev has already informed us that he is Irish, I assume you are too.
Thank you for this explanation, because there is nothing hinting at such a pronouciation just by looking at the name. That is one of my pet peeves (nothing against these languages but it is strange) with some languages like English, Gaelic or French, where seeing the word often gives you zero hints how it is spoken.
In German, Icelandic, Japanese or Italian to name a few, seeing the written word tells you how it is normally spoken. You might have some little work with the stress, half-swallowed letters like "u" in some Japanese words or schwas like the end-e in German words, but your pronounciation will be mostly right just reading them out loud.
Just reading "Aoife" did not give me the hint that it would be spoken like "Ifa(a)" in German.

It's tricky, isn't it? The problem is that all spelling via letters is arbitrary. German isn't super clear all the time, either. For instance, in German we have decided at some point that "ie" symbolises a long vowel. In English, the same vowel is expressed by something like "ee". We have also decided in German, that a vowel followed by an "h" is a long vowel. There is absolutely no reason for that, other than needing a symbolic representation for a speech sound. What about the "ch" combination? In older periods of English, they used "gh" for the same sound. Then English dropped it all together. Or look at Spanish. The letter "j" is often pronounced like a "h". But not always. Orthography is arbitrary and that makes it weird. The Gaelic/Celtic stuff simply uses different letter combinations to express certain sounds, and these combinations are utterly alien to most other languages.
Funnily enough, we could solve these problems, if all languages just decided to use the IPA for their spelling, too. That is the only system of symbols, where the entire world agrees on sound-to-symbol interpretation. And yet it is pretty much only used in dictionaries and linguistic classes. Crazy, if you ask me. Imagine that: ALL languages are writing their words EXACTLY the way they are pronounced. Wouldn't that be super nice?
Wait a minute... why am I debating linguistics on a porn game forum?
Because we can!
As you can see from my post, I am not angry about it, just honestly surprised how far the differences go. Yes, our German is not always exact, like "ae" is normally the Umlaut "ä" and in some rare cases it is just a long"a", but normally you have a pretty decent idea how German is pronounced by reading the word.
My point was with languages where the pronouciation crashes with the written words very frequently (e.g. the native English speakers say themselves that pronouciation in English is weird) or half the word is superfluous since it is not pronouced at all.

I would like to point out that the Latin languages: Spanish (one of the most widely spoken languages in the world), Italian and Portuguese all pronounce vowels the same way in all words in their vocabularies. For example, the A is A like AlphA or ItAliAn for English-speaking languages and is not E like the letter 'A' of the alphabet that English-speakers pronounce 'E' for Latin languages. And I only stop at the vowel 'A' but it is the same with the 'E' of 'Europe' which they pronounce 'I' for Latin languages. The 'U' of 'cUp' they pronounce 'A' for Latin languages. What I mean to say is that those who make exceptions are certainly not the Latin languages as far as vowels are concerned apart from the French language, which has suffered to some extent from Anglophone infuence.Because we can!

Even now as a native Latin speaker, I still struggle sometimes when the 'E' is pronounced in English instead of the 'A'.
That is exactly what I meant. Even if the vowel alone in question in English or Gaelic, to name a few more known languages doing this, is spoken like in German, Japanese, Spanish or Italian, often you have words where they are spoken very differently.I would like to point out that the Latin languages: Spanish (one of the most widely spoken languages in the world), Italian and Portuguese all pronounce vowels the same way in all words in their vocabularies.

While German has some cases where alternate pronounciation happens (mainly younger loanwords or words predating the Germanic sound shifts) or Spanish with "h" for "j", they are pretty consistent on pronouciation. When you see an Italian "Ragazza"(young woman), Japanese "Haruka"(a girl name) or a German "Wasserfall"(waterfall), you can be sure to never speak out an "e", "i" or "o" in it. Or have to drop half the word, because there are a ton of silent letters.
For this reason Porsche made a video to show how the name is correctly pronounced, since German does NOT have silent letters. The end-e is spoken, in this case a schwa, an unstressed, lowered e.
As said, these are just observations, but it shows how far in some languages written words differ from how they are spoken and how close somelanguages are to their script.

I am reminded of a German citizen who lived in a block of flats called 'Neuhoff' and in Italy they called it as it is read in our country, but one day he corrected me by telling me that it is pronounced 'NoIoff' in Italian.
In English it could be pronounced 'NoEoff'.

Hi folks
)Hope you're all well, I have as promised been grinding my fingers into little stumps working on this patch!
I knew that the Theo's / Daisy events were gonna be complex and time consuming to put together but honestly they've taken a lot longer than even I expected. Now upon writing this I've literally just finished the events at Theo's (though I haven't tested them at all.. they're undoubtedly gonna be inundated with bugs) and Theo's RPGM Map has grown from being one of the smallest in the game (in terms of file size) to one of the largest. In terms of scale it's almost the same file size as Lisa's House 2F which half of events in the game run through ^_^! I can't stress enough just how big this event actually is behind the scenes but damn have I enjoyed working on it.
Typically I find working in Daz more engaging than working in RPGM by a fair margin just because making CGs is often challenging and gets the brain active rather than just comfortably going through the motions but this end of the patch has really made me fall in love with RPGM all over again. It's been a series of a thousand headaches and I've fucking loved every second of it.
Solving organizational puzzles, writing Daisy's character (I hope you guys like her! She's a lot of fun :d), Figuring out how to structure the events, etc. It's been so, SO much fun!
I made a notice in Theo's bar itself but I'll reiterate both here and in the release post that I'd really appreciate feedback on specifically the Theo's event as structurally it's how I'd like to organize a lot if not most of Lisa's night activities. The events in it currently all end in the early stages/middle of their progression because it's gated by Deviancy levels but I hope the outline and the routes take your imaginations for a spin as to where each of them are headed
You will likely find "Neill & Bird's" route particularly grindy (it's not grindy per say it just takes the most resets I just don't know a better word for it) because it progresses the farthest out of any of the routes so far but I just want to reiterate that this "Night event" is the first available content at Night, it'll be available the night after Lisa first meets Riggs & Aoife and like many of the events in this patch - it's built to be progressed alongside the story not individually grinded if that makes sense!
There are a couple of routes that I just didn't have time to start being the Couple path and Aki's path but I'll get around to both of those in 3.0 I think
)Alright so the patch was delayed last week and I get how frustrating that is but I really think after putting some of these events together that it's at the very least opened the door to so many fun paths for the future. I've been worried this past month that the fans will abandon ship and unleash their fury upon me because this release has fewer CGs than a typical full patch and it's playtime will likely be shorter (I haven't completed a run through as I haven't actually finished it yet so I really don't know how long it will take it total but likely well over an hour if you're to see everything) but I do think the patch was worth making and I hope to swing everyone into that camp in time ^_^
I am working the rest of the week then I promised I'd visit my Mother again on Saturday (I'm not staying there this time, I promise) but I'll be back on Sunday to hopefully begin wrapping this patch up once and for all which I'm sure is music to everyone's ears! :d
There will be another patch to follow that will include the Byron scene I mentioned in the previous post and some other bits and pieces but then I'll finally be moving onto Jayce's party and I cannot wait!! I'm really gonna push it as hard as I can to have some spicy party fun ready around Christmas this year. I know already that this is a bold statement given how large Jayce's party is to be with the amount of variations but I'll have something awesome ready for you guys regardless <3
Finally to Deviants: I know I haven't posted August's wallpapers yet, I'm just so far behind that they're on the backburner for now. Once this patch is shipped it's the very next thing on my list alongside the September WPs! Are there any characters I've been neglecting in wallpapers the past few months? Let me know
)I haven't been working in Daz (except to make faces) for a couple of weeks so I don't really have any "original" spoiler free images to post but these are a couple I liked personally!
Anyway that's me for today, my next post will be the patch. Thanks everyone, sending my love from the once again rainy Ireland xD <3
