I am curious now about what will happen on Monday if you choose morello's help, did she feel sympathetic( love Aiden :p ) or we can see the new character(Aiden's uncle) or she will dominate Aiden(filthy) or no Aiden rest of the route?
Last update is meant to be the "comfortable" solution to Aiden's blackmail, so she's unlikely to feel any sympathy towards him. Considering the beating is likely to put him in hospital, so chances are if you choose the beating, not to seee Aiden again.

I'm just annoyed it'll probably mean a third set of renders for events in the classroom

You can tell how L&P is milking his Patreons by now, and totally abandoning his project, by the last scene of Sofia on the couch.
She just got molested by seven teenaged gang members (lmao) and she gets back home to watch TV.
No reflection whatsoever in her brain. Was she furious about the incident? Did she maybe like it? How in god's name did this scene help in progressing her degradation into a lustful bitch L&P promised 6 years ago?
Thank god for EvaKiss, Ero Mersive, Bold Bash Studios, SleepyGimp and so many more who deliver updates on time.

i took a peek at the code and in order to get the Dylan/Ellie/Christine burger shop event, you need the "Ellie_is_with_Logan" variable set to "True". all the other stuff is just Aiden cuck content.
That must be a change from the 0.160, because back then you had to kick Logan to the curb to get the event in the Burger. This is good, because I among others were miffed by this. Logan might be an idiot chad, but we need him and the triple date of Sophia-Pat-Ellie for the corruption path.
Did you play the scene where Ellie has to decide if she forgives Logan?

The other question that can be raised is why the Morello option is not anymore possible? Once it is decided not to take it because e.g. it is choosing between the lesser of the two evils, it is strange that the option is prevented later on. There is even a passage during the meeting
Python:
if day19_Sophia_contemplates_asking_Morello_for_help_with_Aiden:
"She suddenly wished so badly that she should've gone to Don Morello. What was she thinking, coming here alone!"
What prevent Sophia to use the option after the meeting? It's not that the offer had a time limit. It's strange that this issue is not yet addressed. From what we know there won't be any other chance to pick up the offer, but it feels not so logic IMO. Sure, it will mess up the development as it has to reproduce the scenes every time there is a chance to take the offer, but like the boarding school I don't see a logical reason for not being on the table. Unless there will be further developments ahead. :unsure:
In my opinion, this is not an intentional choice, but rather a glaringly big (and equally worrying) bug in the scene-writing part of the previous update.
I don't know how it occurs to you, but in my playthrough, it only occurs if at this point of the game I choose to "Forgive Logan":
screenshot0003.png
This is because at the end of every possible option, I am redirected to scenes (day20_Sophia_meets_with_Aiden_at_his_hangout or day20_Sophia_meets_with_Aiden_at_his_hangout) that don't take into the slightest consideration the value of the key variable to see the scene of Don Morello's henchmen's intervention (day20_Sophia_asked_Don_Morello_for_help = True). If, on the other hand, I choose "Don't forgive him" the problem doesn't arise and my eventual choice to ask Don Morello for help is realized with the scene of his henchmen's visit to Aiden and his friends.
I hope the script will be fixed before the release of the next update, because otherwise playing this latest version of the game is compromising for its future development (if the player wants to close Aiden's path and cannot do so because of a script bug, it can be a big problem for other game paths as well).

yeah but she told him(morello) not to hurt him(aiden) physically so it could be possible or even we can see female dominance and if no more aiden in this route then L&P can just show black render with the script for the classroom event to save render time.

This game is the best game in my opinion.
Contrary to many people's beliefs that the process is slow, in my opinion this is the biggest strength of the game.
I hope the developer does not irrationally spoil the story

But the most important thing the developer is expected to do is hire people to speed up the design of the scenes
I agree 100%

I agree. I mean he does have the income now to hire more people. Heck, we have so many talented people here in F95 that can help him out tremendously not only in technical work, but in story, art, sound etc. The thing we see so many times with AAA developers why a game stops or fails if mostly due to greed, entitlement and lack of vision. Usually its one of these reasons that the project starts going downhill.

I know this is not AAA game with many developers working day and night, but as many have suggested, there are so many ways it can be improved. The reason this game exists is due to people's support, and the day they stop supporting, will be the day that there will be no going back. So I sincerly hope he mends his ways, focus on getting the updates in time, not let greed or lack of vision take over and just focus on getting the best product out.

I've been thinking about that, too. But Sophia (the player) makes a decision here and it is based on the fact that it is better not to want to have anything to do with the mafia. Some here would consider that a wise decision. And with that the way is set! Even as a developer of the game, I would not allow any reversal - you yourself have spoken of the entropy of decisions.
As for the possibility of the boarding school, I have also searched in vain for a reason why that should no longer be possible.

  • The most interesting (and somehow strange) thing for me is where to place this event in the storyline.
    If you played all the possible paths of the meeting, you see that she always has the choice to flee at some point. And somehow one could expect that this will break the deal with Aiden, from fleeing right away to refusing any of his requests later on.
    Well, if you look at the code you will see that the choices for this event will only increase GW and FW points and set only 2 variables to distinguish the final choice of Sophia, breast (day20_Sophia_showed_her_breasts_to_Aidens_gang) or groping (day20_Sophia_let_herself_getting_groped_by_Aidens_gang). Nothing else. This means that
    • at least at the moment it seems that the deal is still on no matter what happens.

    • in any following event if he needs to check what happened (what choices have been made) in this event to e.g. determine the dialogues or some future choices he can only check whether the two variables are false to detect that Sophia didn't go through the last part. But e.g. he has no way to express the fact that she left as soon as she saw the gang members and hence nothing really happened.
  • Unless this is a bug (possible/probable), this means that the whole event is basically "meaningless" in term of the future events. It won't have an impact on the deal with Aiden and even in dialogues and choices nothing much can be related to what happens. He could still use the FW points to try to figure out the choices that have been made but it is hard because all FW points are in common with other paths. And he has abandoned this way of use them since the early PDs.

    If it is a bug and he forgot to set some variables on the way, it also means that if fixed the scene will need to be played again for the variables to be in your save game.

    If the event instead is just what we have, i.e. it does not count at all for the story, what was the purpose of the event. It feels almost like it was not a planned event until the last release and rather added along with the Morello's boy visit to make it a standalone (as in it would have taken more time to finish v0.160 with the fight scene so let's split it...). :unsure:

    Regardless, story-wise the purpose of the event seems only to increase the FW and the corruption of Sophia and show what Aiden is up to. But because of the above it does not seem to have a real impact on the story.
The variables introduced by L&P in his game often serve to define, rather than future plot developments, parts of the dialogue between the characters involved in the scenes. Take, for example, Aiden's fourth task for Sophia.
Sophia chooses Zac as the beneficiary of her show for:
- a practical reason: he is positioned in the center of the classroom and is therefore perfectly visible to both Aiden and Andre,
- a sentimental reason: she already has some familiarity with him (as her son Dylan's teammate she has also frequented him outside of school).
However, there is no relevant reference in the code to his counter value (zac_price):
- neither as a possible limiting factor for choosing him ( there is no if zac_price >= x) and thus performing the task,
- nor as an increment at the end of the task itself (there is no $ zac_price += 1), despite the obvious progress made by Zac as Sophia's LI.
The only reference to such a counter is to determine, based on the "close experiences" Sophia had with Zac, certain parts of Sophia's inner dialogue during the selection of the "right student" and other parts of dialogue between the two once the task is completed. When the task is completed, a new variable is introduced (day20_Sophia_fulfilled_Aidens_4th_task = True) which, while not (by its name) directly correlating with Zac, is nonetheless closely related to his character and therefore I believe will be placed side by side with his counter as an indicator of Sophia's advancements toward Zac.
Probably the same thing will happen with the variables you mentioned in this last update, and L&P will use them, as an index of the progressive humiliation Sophia has suffered toward Aiden, in future dialogue scenes between the two.

Why he takes so long on updates has puzzled me for quite sometime and I have never really been satisfied with his answers so I stopped being a patron of his 2-3 months ago
He was not like that at the beginning.
The first 6 days was done really fast.Still not fast enough to fool me to believe he can actually finish the game in 3-4 years.
Still until the end of 2018(actually 6 January 2019) we had first 8 playable days done.
Imagine what will be if he was so slow from the beginning.We will be at PD 4 at best.

It has already been reported.
