Talcum Powder what's the estimate according to your sheet? Too early to call? :)
I hope you will continue to entertain us with the stats and graphs (and the great background images from the game). Even if it is a purely academic exercise they have become a ritual like Lord_Xanatos update post and lockerxx "It's moving" comment ;)

I bet we soon gonna find out about this "lascivious business style with sexy stockings". I would not expect many teasers for this update since there is only 1 major event and 2 relatively short ones. But definitely I expect the first teaser being about the dress.

Dylan may be the most popular character on and off the Patreon page, And Dylan could be the No 1 in the story. And probably the most popular and favorite character of all. But in progress, Dylan is way below the minor characters and Dylan's path is far backward than almost every other routes. Dylan cannot be compared to Sam. Because my boy Sam has come a long way in romance and progress.:love:

Dylan was such a popular character, his route were so boring. And all his routes are very slowburn. That’s why others aren’t interested in playing his routes.
Okay, if you think so that's fine.
But you just need to rethink, If people aren't interested in playing his route he wouldn't be voted as the most popular character.

L&P answer of why sophia doesn't think about Sam's erection

"Bringing Sam's boner into play would 1) be totally out of place for such rather romatic scene! 2) Sam crotch was under the water the whole time 3) Sam's crotch never touched Sophia's body.
So, nothing is missing there."

It just occurred to me, after this next update, it's going to be almost 3 full playable days before the next Aiden task, so maybe 4.5 years away.

Assuming blackmailers take weekends off, yes. :)
We don't have the events for Saturday and Sunday though. The 3rd one was not during school hours, so it's not impossible that there will be also one during the weekend. I'm not wishing for it, just saying. Sunday probably not because it's ranch day, Saturday we have the 1st side job part 3 and the museum. Let's see when he announces the events for the PD 14 as he promised.

I'm actually more curious about what's going to happen on the boarding school route with Aiden. Half the threat was that he has contacts throughout the city, so that if Sophia didn’t accept doing the tasks, Dylan would have nowhere to hide, so would be found and beaten up.

The salon event on PD 13 will be the second event with Dylan in the city, and not safely away at boarding school (another reason why I think Dylan being at the Yoga event is dumb if you're playing the boarding school route). So ample time for Aiden's contacts to find Dylan. Even more so if there is a similar event (say a trip to the mall) on PD 14.

So if there isn't a confrontation between Aiden and Dylan at some point during the weekend, it makes Aiden's threat look pretty piss-weak, and him not nearly as powerful as we're lead to believe.

Also after this update the next one is much bigger in size so whatever we gain on this one will be lost on the next one

.
Aiden does not know where the boarding school is(he aint Jason Bourne after all) as this question was brought up on his patron page awhile back so Dylan is safe at the boarding school.
I thought that the boarding school event was a waste of time as what is stopping Aiden from starting over again once Dylan is back in school?

Aren't you missing the important points. The boarding school route is basically an escape for those who don't want Dylan in their story anymore or Don't want him with Sophia.
Plus is it practical to make the entire rivalry between Aiden and Dylan. To spend hundreds of renders on a fights between two guys which have nothing erotic and just violence and blood. What are you looking to play. And erotic visual novel or a story about fighting bullies and probably gang wars.

That is just an escape. Realistically if he was making a non erotic game it would have made sense to pick up this plot and develop it forward, as of now that would just be a waste.
I never said there should be any renders of Aiden and Dylan fighting. That would indeed be a waste. My point is only that with every Dylan event not at the mansion from now on the boarding school route, reinforces that Sophia doing Aiden's tasks is a waste. That Aiden is talking out his arse about how powerful and influential he is, and that Sophia has absolutely nothing to fear from him.

Dylan is back on playable day 13(noon event) whether you want him back or not.
Aiden knowing or not knowing the location of the boarding school is irrelevant. Aiden claimed to have enough contacts that no matter where Dylan was in San Alejo, he would be found and beaten up. And yes, Dylan will return to San Alejo, even on the boarding school route. Likely numerous times ahead, even during the week, like he did for the Yoga event. And every time he does, shows Aiden's threats to be bluffs. All bark and no bite.

You are just beating on a technical limitation. Plus we don't really know if that threat will materialize or not.

Also it seriously comes off that you are hating on every hetero route. In the past few days you have directly and indirectly criticized all Dylan, Sam, Aiden routes

I know you like the lesbian branch of the story, I like that too but I just feel that you are being biased against the hetero route in every way possible.

I never believed Aiden when he said this and just thought that he is showing off and trying to be the big man/boy.
He is a nobody, a low life, who lives off his uncle's reputation and if/when Morello deals with him he will cry like like a baby.

What I really want to know is "Who is Aiden"the real Aiden not the image he portrays

Well to be fair in his play through they are pointless to him as he doesn't need them.
I need Aiden/Dylan to keep Alyssa in the game but that will change soon and I can get rid of Aiden and keep Alyssa in the game.

I get they are not in his playthrough, that's okay with me. I too have lesbian only save, But always saying something to invalidate the hetero route characters isn't right either.

There are a lot of things in the game that can and should be shown but can't because of developments limitations and also because they aren't essential to the story.

Like I'm sure none of us will actually want to witness scenes of court hearings of the Case filed against Aiden by Carl. They are things outside the scope of what this visual novel is focusing on.
Its just his point of view nothing more as we all have posted our views on certain/events/characters, some we agree on some we don't.
Maybe he is too vocal in his opinion of hetro events but you can just walk on by and shake your head as I have done with many posts on here as it is just not worth it.

The school governing board meeting could be like a court case(Bennett) unless Sophia sleeps with Bennett or Carl helps out or the 3rd option kicks in which we have no idea as to what it maybe

I am firmly convinced that this production (as it is currently staffed) is not sustainable. There is not a small amount of effort to achieve the goal. I believe L&P grossly underestimated the work required or is, as a few have pointed out, at the dairy farm. To not have the sufficient personnel to complete the work in a timely manner opens this to burnout (we are already seeing the signs) or the loss of fan interest after the first scene to meet their needs. At this point support drops off and burnout increases. To get to day 30 will require a team effort. This is the time for that to happen. I don't think it will.:(
