friend, i've been following your comment threads and you had me interested.... until now. you are clearly intelligent and have put a lot of thought in you comments. whether English is natural or not you made interesting and compelling statements. but here you have reveal you 'naivety', this IS ART. Many video games are ART. ART can be thought provoking, emotional, exciting, it elicits raw reactions. ART is Entertaining. and 'instructive'??, well if you learn Nothing from ART then you failed to experience it. because You cannot 'relate' to the characters does Not make them shallow or unrealistic, it simply means, You can not relate.VNs are not art, I´m afraid. You are talking about art. You can´t compare VNs (or videogames in general) with artistic films or literature. Videogames, so far, are entertainment. Maybe in the future will be made the "Citizen Kane" of videogames, and videogames will be considered art. But it´s not the case so far. And the definition of "entertainment" is escapism of reality.
Anyway, it´s laughable to think that this VN (or any other VN) can be "instructive", used to "show criticism of real life", "suggest potential for future", etc. I don´t think even the dev has ever thought about his game in those terms.
And yes, a villain of a game can be an unpleasant character (although the best villain has some kind of attractive and generate both repulsion and attraction. Think about Dracula, for example), but, if the players can´t stand the MC of a VN and/or the Lis... the VN is a disaster. It´s not that players can´t stand the characters of this game (I think), but truth is that there are 26 pages of comments here, and I would say that about half of that are people that complain about the characters. And think that most of the people doesn´t bother in even leave a comment if they give a try to a VN and doesn´t like it. They just delete de game from their HDs and forget about it. Maybe that´s the reason there is ONLY 26 pages of comments after 5 updates of this game.
Armature or not you and everyone else deserve a chance. The biggest problem is grant you understand one persons story etc. etc. but this I supposed to be about character build up not just for Harlow but also the mc. I have been writing for years and what I and everyone else are seeing is a character being torn down what was once interesting is becoming unlikable.Trudging through a game from an amateur dev and not finding anything redeeming in it is tough.
Good thing the guys in the fund raiser gala are all up to give MC a lotta advice,So is it just me or when you can get a choice to go in for a kiss with vanessa after the dance she always stops you
I have the same problem and this is the first time I have played. I played straight through from Eps 1-4, but after the Ep. 4 review it went back to the main screen. I've tried a few things but always end up back in the same situation. I am attaching my persistent file. Hope that helps.Which version? Depending on where you saved in a previous version, you might not have the new code from an updated version. You might have to roll back farther in your save, so that when you play through in a new version, it updates to the new code. Sorry, I try to test as many saves and versions as I can but sometimes I miss stuff.
OK I worked it out - don't know how I missed it - I was using the WT mod for Ep. 4. Hopefully this may help Jack'son as well.I have the same problem and this is the first time I have played.

Great game by the way! I guess I may be a bit more perverted than some here but I'm really looking forward to seeing Harlow and Marisa get it on.
I wish I knew. I go off their responses, but I wish there was a guide to what works when and with who...So, is there a right way to approach each girl? Like, knight with Kate, joker with Erika, etc?
The dev has said on this thread that the choices between those three options only affect the dialogue. So those choices won't help or prevent you getting with any of them.I wish I knew. I go off their responses, but I wish there was a guide to what works when and with who...
Yea, I go off their responses too. With Vanessa, it seems knight is the right choice. Erika, I'm choosing joker and sometimes I flirt. Harlow, I guess flirt is a good choice, but yea, it would be good to see if there is a right way to approach each one.I wish I knew.

So, those are only about dialogues? Hmmm, choices that don't count as joker, knight, are the real important ones?The dev has said on this thread that the choices between those three options only affect the dialogue. So those choices won't help or prevent you getting with any of them.
