I rerun some of my old saves and using commands altering my dom1 = 2 dom1 = 1 just like previous update trying to trigger the old scenes it didn't work as well. Only the save where the sex was ongoing still works for me lmao. Only 1 save where my MC likes to watch has the couch scene triggered. Although didn't make much difference in dialogue as what I've seen. If Steph had sex with Jason on couch Tori is kind of upset that she lost control since this whole charade was to get Steph to reveal the secret and then she apologized for losing control and went too farDid they take out that scene where Steph bangs Jason on the couch?
I did another quick playthrough and the options for it never came up
Maybe my confidence was too high or something

So question for those who played other paths.. From the above, is the "true" path Steph and Jason having sex after the dinner party? Am I reading the dev update correctly?You must be registered to see the links
We finally got 1.08 out last night, and it appears to be functioning without any major bugs. The featured new content, Steph's big reveal, is the second major anchor point in the story, and there is one more to go. Not all plotlines go through to the third one.
After this scene, some of the paths through the story start to end. I've said countless times that we have kept alive several paths that were never intended to run this far, but players were interested in where those paths could take them, so we ran them longer. That required some rewriting and reworking of material, and it really required a lot of work for this latest scene as we were now entering the scene from a much wider variety of experiences. Originally, the Steph and Jason scenes at Tori and Jason's were crash and burn paths. The bypass scene didn't exist, but now it has it's own twist on the twist. So where the main line story enters the scene as it was always intended after the second game with Steph losing it again, the rest still need some cleaning.
So what's next? There is a lot that needs to be fixed and fine tuned in the content that exists in terms of content as well as game mechanics, but I'm going to leave it alone for now. Make your comments, I'm reading them, but I'm just not going to act on anything right away. We need to finish the game.
So next up is update 1.09 which will center around the MC and Tori and closing out some storylines. We are also going to get back to work on replacing animations and cleaning up some of the story elements between Friday night and Steph telling her story. After the MC and Tori have their scene, there is another scene with Steph. Update 1.09 will go through that scene with Steph. After 1.09, I won't update the game until we are ready for final release. We will release 1.10 in Early Access still, live with it for a few weeks, fix anything that needs fixing, and then release the game. After that, we will continue to add to the game with our loop ending system. By the time we get to 1.10, there will be loop endings on some of the paths that played out early.
So that's where we are and where we are going. Again, thanks for being here for Early Access. We appreciate your taking this journey with us and thank you for helping us shape this project.
It's not taken out, in previous update I didn't replay the game to get the low confidence path instead I just tweaked the dom value with command by using my my high dom play through and it workedThat's a shame if it's taken out
I love seeing Steph getting fucked
It was my most replayed sex scene
I played HC route, Jason never fucked Steph.So question for those who played other paths.. From the above, is the "true" path Steph and Jason having sex after the dinner party? Am I reading the dev update correctly?
I've been trying to play the game as close to HC and "sharing" only with the MC's permission and direct consent, and it's sorta done ok at that (Friday night is still a huge negative mainly in how it went down), so wonder if the path I'm on is considered one of the false paths.
If Steph was supposed to 'lose control' with Jason, and Tori got upset, it really proves that Stref really is just a no impulse control slut with zero will power. Worse yet, she has zero impulse control but tries to apologies later (maybe some who buy words instead of actions would buy that excuse like a sucker), instead of curbing her inpulses or at least making sure she doesn't cheat on the MC. I say 'cheat' as opposed to share because if she's downstyairs fucking Jason, while MC and Tori are upstairs talking, and that's the 'canon' path, that's nothing BUT cheating. There's zero sharing at that point, just a slut who can't keep her legs closed, regardless of her excuse.
Also, anyone ID what the "bypass path" is?
this is why i hope the Dev backs away a bit from the Confidence / SP / Dom variables so much. lot of people are not getting the scenes they want. I feel it's needlessly complex. It should be down more to choices in dialogue then needing to hit the exact numbers to see a scene. I'm starting to feel like a need a notepad to keep track of numbers more then the actual choices I want to make.It's not taken out, in previous update I didn't replay the game to get the low confidence path instead I just tweaked the dom value with command by using my my high dom play through and it worked.
As of now there are other choices matter, just like the choices in this update during the confession. The variable "sp" is in all the choices during Steph and MC talk. For Steph and Jason sex scene, it's the same as before. dom1 = 1 is where Steph start acting submissive to Jason, dom1 = 2 where Jason start by eating her out.
Nothing happens between Steph and Jason if sp <= 1. Besides the dom1 value there's another requirement "sp" which is gained throughout the choices of the night, also the choice where before MC and Steph leave for Tori house, there was a choice to specified "tonight is just talking" which gives -1 to sp.
"I say we dive in like we did Friday night." and "I have no problem with that at all." will give sp +3 also the talk with Jason when the girls are upstairs, allowing him will gives +1, discourage Jason -1.

confidence variable was only used till the dream scenes then it got translated into dom1 and was never seen again in following updates. dom1 became the most important variable throughout the whole following night, and now sp matters during the talk with Steph before heading to Tori's house and the talk with Jason. And the whole 1.08 talk with Steph is all sp though, the options comforting and understanding her gives positive sp else it's negative. Am I safe to say it's gonna translate into another variable for coming update like what they did to confidence?this is why i hope the Dev backs away a bit from the Confidence / SP / Dom variables so much. lot of people are not getting the scenes they want.

If I say "only talk" then they should only talk no changing into lingerie.
If I say "go wild girl" ..then she should just go wild.
If I say "let's take it slow" then take it slow and confirm our actions.
If I'm been a little bitch going into the scene and she's mad at me then maybe she acts up.
Thanks so much for this explanation of everything. You have definitely saved me some time, this game indeed won't be for me, if Steph still isn't taking responsibility for her actions and just making excuses and trying to justify everything she's done, then I won't like her character even with the option to close the marriage. She has already lost my respect and trust, and I haven't even played the game.Ok, for those who want the secret, here it is. Will present it as best possible without extra fluff. There are options that change the flavor of some of the conversation, but here's the nutshell version (as best I can). Note this is VERY LONG as just reading through this update took 30-40 minutes, along with seeing if some dialogue choices changed things (I didn't test all of the options)

It's complicated. The "bypass path" can either on dom1 = 5, dom1 = 4, or dom1 = 3/1 and answering in the negative to when Steph asks you "just talking?" when leaving the house. None of the other responses matter afterwards.So question for those who played other paths.. From the above, is the "true" path Steph and Jason having sex after the dinner party?

I agree, you point out two of my bugbears as well. I'm going to bring them up when I've had a chance to look through the reveal again.It's complicated. The "bypass path" can either on dom1 = 5, dom1 = 4, or dom1 = 3/1 and answering in the negative to when Steph asks you "just talking?" when leaving the house. None of the other responses matter afterwards.
The dom1 path is determined at the end of Saturday night. Dom1=4 path is if you have confidence 2 or more, dom1=5 is same but invited Paul over. Dom1=3 is -2<confidence<2, dom1 is high voyeur stat AND confidence < 2, and dom1=2 is low confidence no voyeur.
===========================================================================
Overall, the update fixed some of my prior complaints about game flow, like having the sesex var automatically kick the player to a "bad end". On the other hand, some of the same simple issues are still there, like it's irrelevent for condition checks what you say to Jason about your comfort level, all that matters is what you tell Steph before leaving the house.
The Tori dialogue at Jason house still feels as off as ever, I see people above saying Tori's more sympathetic becasue she can't control Steph going crazy, but it's not like she actually does anything to stop it. On that route, mc is uncomfortable, and Tori agrees and sympathizes, yet our favorite bbc fetishist dev dare not have Tori interject and actually say something like "Jason, you should stop, they clearly aren't comfortable with this as a couple."
===========================================================================
Storywise, (and I see I'm not the only one), the "reveal" made me dislike Steph much more, despite it trying to paint her in a more sympathetic light. Why? Because it's all about her.
Look, I get it. She had a traumatic experience, and I'm not belittling or trying to displace that. A traumatic experience is exactly the sort of thing she should have communicated it to her HUSBAND, and not some rando. MC isn't a fuckboi boyfriend, he's her HUSBAND. The entire framing of the conversation just assumes like this is the most understandable thing in the world.
Some other random musings with screens:

How I wish the game let you respond.
View attachment 3179600
The famous "water drink" scene - if you answer that it bothered you, [a very reasonable answer in a couples talk about boundaries], Steph gets derisive and dismissive (note this is on HC playthrough).
View attachment 3179601
While others dislike the water scene, this has always been my most hated. On ALL paths, this scene still exists. It's not what she's saying, it's the way she's saying it, totally undermines the idea of a loving swinging couple.
"Well, just so you know, if you get yours I get mine!", such a nasty tonality. Can you imagine MC speaking to her on the phone that morning: "Look, it's okay if you want to have Donny over, but just so you know, I'm not gonna sit there idly, I'm gonna go find some girl at the club"?
Even a simple dialogue adjustment would have made a big difference to me, something like: "Hey [mc], I'm willing to try letting you do your thing with the threesome, but I'm also worried I may feel jealous or lonely or left out. If that does happen, would you be alright with me inviting Donny or Paul over?"
What? You have a life? How dare you.So basically “Another Man Having My Wife” is really the true title after. BRB learning photoshop to mod in the real title
PS:
Have prior commitments this weekend so mod updates will take some time. Doesn’t help that yet again there are major revisions to content from previous updates and, imo, needlessly convoluted stat manipulation through the choices just to see the sex scene in this update. BTW where’s Gina and Steph’s trip from the previews these past few weeks? I thought they would be part of this update.
It's not a netori game but it's only a "cuck game" if you choose to make it one. It's not very difficult to play in a way that Steph only ever has sex with another man in a threesome with the MC *after* he spends a lot of time talking her into it.Thanks for summary. I will never play this game, but I like reading plots of games about open relationship that present it in the worst way possible. Steph is horrible human being and MC should divorce her. By the way could title of this game be even more misleading. It is cuck game and title suggest netori game.
His chief motivation is always Tori. Getting Steph to sleep around is a means to an end. Never a motivation unto itself.The beginning is framed as MC being an everyman whose chief motivation is not to get Steph to sleep around (though this changes somewhat at bar convo and "vegas"), but whose original motivation is Tori.
