So this pretty much goes back to the beginning when you are meeting everyone? Also, when the game gets into the meat of the story, will the updates continue to have you go back or will everything pretty merge at some point?
You need to load a save just before where previously you would take Asami up to the bathroom for some fun and now it will jump to the girl you chosen previously instead of always jumping to Asami

Right now the game is fully unified (I'm talking about version 0.5.8) into one single route. This update doesn't send you back near the beginning, it's just that if you want to see the outcome of the choice, you need a save right there. That outcome shows up at the same moment it did with Asami in the previous version, basically near the end of day one.
Now, if you don't have a save at that point, you should have one at the moment when Kaoru says "Surprise" (original route), and by continuing from there, if you had chosen someone other than Asami, the game would show you what happens in that case, but you miss the rest, which are obviously completely different scenes that go all the way up to the start of the second day.


As far as I understand, this update is for route A and not for B?:unsure:
Yes.

Man the shit with Kaoru on Emma's "path" got me fucking angry too. I get (a bit) why she did it and don't feel bad for her ninja dicking. But it's fine somehow, Megan 2.0 has the power to soothe me, she's just so cute.

Yes.
Hey mate, if you don't mind. I sent you a dm asking a few questions. Do check it out if you have some time :)

Sorry, but I haven’t been replying to DMs for a while now, for mental health reasons. If it’s about the game, post it here so others can see it too. If it’s something else, we have the devs subforum, or Discord.

They were about the game, but it's fine if you can't. I don't like asking questions publicly coz 1 they are a bit detailed, and 2 people on this site at many times have bullied me for just enquiring and asking questions about the game, so i keep away from public threads the best i can.

Since then I don’t reply to DMs. It’s a waste of time I don’t have. I’m actually only writing this so others know that I don’t reply to DMs.
I don’t even remember exactly how it went, but someone asked me stuff and I answered with a pretty long reply... only for the person to end up saying something like "oh thanks, but it’s not my thing".
If you ask here publicly, no problem. That way the answer is there for others to see. Otherwise, no.
You’re a developer. I guarantee that sooner or later you’ll be the same as me, or worse. Some devs even get completely burned out and never come back.

Honestly. What is this?
MC acts like a human being then suddenly flips a switch during group expository dialogue and then eyes every woman like a piece of meat. Every other line irritates me to no end. Hunger Games but sex. Meh.

Gad damn! I'm liking this game so far but please take care of yourself and don't burn out.

Most game flow charts a pretty strait forward path where MC picks A B or C and then gets a new scene or angle then slides back toward the centralized plot but this game has a big fork early that fits the former framework and then a path explosion like a fireworks factory located next to the Beirut explosion And I'm loving running down every arching piece of shrapnel!

Edit: Ok so the fork at the start strikes me as the objectively worse path story wise. The writing is just strait up weaker then the other path. I can see how the swings in regards to some of the reviews happened. As it stand though one fork feels like the start of four different but parallel games and the other is a lower budget "edgy" spinoff based on the other four. That said the edgier route has more comedy but blue balls you most of the time.

For us the players, it is westworld: we go this route for this version of a playthrough - might get a huge rock making a splash over our head, end of the run style.
Dust off and go again, the other path taken, this time.
this VN is basically a combination
Combine x-men the last stand with naked and afraid in your lineup.

That is the problem with these multipath games. If the dev doesn't have the throughput the actual story takes for fucking ever. I had to replay the whole game from the start to remember what the hell was going on. I don't know that there has ever been an AVN so good that it is worth playing through a tiny bit of story 4 or more times in a row for years on end. This seems like it would be good, eventually, but the name of the game needs to be changed to 30 years.

Thanks a lot... and don’t worry about it. I’m not one of those people who burn out easily when doing something they like. And making the game is something I like.

That’s why I always recommend playing both routes, since as you’ve seen they’re absolutely different... and the final result of the choice between the four girls in the original route is different too. I’m not the kind of person who changes a couple of dialogue lines and says mission accomplished.
That choice still creates a few small ripple effects that reach the next version, where there are slight changes in events and dialogue depending on whether you picked Asami, Pamela, or one of the other two. Oh, and it also affects the result of what I call the "Fuck List", since different girls are crossed off the list or not based on past events.

Starting with version 0.6 there’ll be an info window to show scores, images, stuff like that. That’ll also work as the Gallery, since the game doesn’t have one right now... I’m leaving a video here showing a test of something I made just yesterday... Don’t laugh, this is the 0.2 alpha version of the InfoScreen. I was just testing what’d happen if I opened and closed it quickly. The screen opens and closes with the “I” key or by clicking the icon in the top right corner.


EDIT: I should explain. The window in the video says 30 Days 0.5.8, but it’s just because I still haven’t updated the version number on my “workspace” .
