Please tell me we still get action from Zoe in the future. It's fine if she's no longer a LI but please don't remove her entirely from getting involved with the mc.
Nobody is getting removed. The MC just wont be able the get into a romantic relationship with them. So we will still be able to interact with them like before and even sex scenes are still on the table.

Sex scenes on the table is the best kind. Her hips are at the perfect height and there might be some food around for snacks if you get hungry while doing it.

What drastic change?

While I am sure a few players made choices that would allow a redemption arc for Cassandra, not following through on that possibility will have little effect on the overall story. It just means one less thing the developer has to account for.

Since most players have written her off already, for them, the story will not be affected at all.

A multiplicity of routes is great for the player, but death to the developer. Besides, as is true for most players, one less route means more game time on routes that are more desirable to them.

Now the developer can concentrate on those more-desirable routes.
I agree in theory with what you are saying

But some devs can handle lots of routes.
Look at DPC.
The best dev around imo
His game has five main paths
And some side girls will also probably get endings

Don't get me wrong this game kicks arse
But lots of routes and choices can be done

Problem is that will take around 5-10 years to be finished,by the update rate,complexity,paths,etc. I'm not complaining,just stating the facts. By then who knows what will happen and how many new great games will pop-up,so maybe interest will fade. We just got to know basic story so far and Artemis is about to awake. It's way more complex than other 1 year per update games.

Will become one update a year

Also I hope Artemis is a love interest

Happy Monday!
Busy week going through my list of things to review. There were more renders to be fixed than I thought, but the majority of them were easy fixes. A little trick I picked up working on CH4 was not compressing my daz saves. This lets you open the file in something like notepad++ and edit it in plain text. So in this example below...

you most likely won't notice since the image size was reduced to fit this post. But there's very fine grain in the whole image. So instead of opening all 8 renders that were affected, I just opened the files in notepad++ and tweaked the number of iterations, and re-queued the renders. There were a few that had annoying things like this one below of Kindra's uncle. When doing an IRAY preview, those bald spots weren't there and somehow showed up during the final renders for this scene. In this case, a simple photoshop job since it was only a few renders that come out like this.

Then there are the slight nuance issues like this one. He has two versions of his morphs, his younger version I use in flashbacks. The above image is his correct present-day morph. Forehead winkles, crow's feet eyes, etc. Morphs are tricky to fix editing the save file directly, but fortunately, I only did a few shots this close up to him. So I just opened the few saves and corrected the morph and re-queued.

Mostly quick work correcting the issues I found last week. Wanted to share how this process works and some methods you may not be aware of to trackle them. Mainly saving scenes uncompressed. Editing the file can be a major time saver when you know what you're doing. Just be sure to save a copy before, until you're more comfortable with the process. One wrong edit and you'll get errors or break your scene file entirely.
For this last scene on my list, I'm going to be dipping my toes in Blender a bit for some extra help. Blender has a bunch of cool stuff to help stage scenes and automate some stuff, then export it to DAZ to continue there. I was already working on this as soon as I woke up this morning and it's going smoother than I thought (knock wood). Just need to export what I worked on and begin working on this scene. It's a fun scene I've been holding off on for awhile now but also real excited to finally get to it.
That wraps it for last week.
Have yourselves a great week! Stay safe and hydrated!

So Kindra's uncle is a young Dr. Wily. This explains a lot actually.

Here many people talk about routes alone. But MC doesn't trust people (emotionally), this game has neither tag dating or cheating, at the end of the game you can see a harem route or polygamy route :unsure:
If the game has a harem at the end, cass is probably the pet of the group, it would be a good alternative ending, is it a joke or not? :ROFLMAO::devilish:

Someone recommended the game to me and told me it's a great game with a good story.
Maybe it's true but I couldnt get past the 1st chapter(I could barely past the prologue), the MC is such a bitchy soy boy crybaby mama's boy, I could not stop cringing about it. I just stopped playing after he panicked when he saw his ex and ran away to call his mama..I meant, his babysitter.

Fuck, what a waste of time.

I would agree with you in most cases, I played a few games with shitty beginnings and the story improves, but the problem is not with the story, I dislike the MC. It's pointless playing a game if you dont like the main character.

Don't feed the trolls. Dude's complaining everywhere about everything. To him all the best rated AVN's here are shit. But I've to give him that he used the abbreviation MF correct.
I disagree with you, so you must be a troll!!!

He's a troll, most of his comments are shitposting in different threads. But I have to admit, sometimes he posted funny stuff.
I am not a troll, I am a somewhat a pessimist and dislike soy boy low testosterone MCs.
You dont see me bitching about Unbroken story or characters, for example. If it's good, I'll give it props.

Life can hit you hard like happened with Aidan and it will take you years to get yourself back together. And still scars can remain.
Aidan was betrayed and broken, Kassandra destroyed his life. Everything he experiences in the game doesn't make him a "weak beta soy boy cuck". He is a good man and in his life a lot of terrible things happened.
He gets better as the game progresses.

You have to remember, Butcher of Blaviken. Some of these misguided males actually believe that if you are not the personification of that sex trafficker Andrew Tate, then you are a Beta soy boy!

Hey, I didnt say he was a cuck, I save all my cuck discussions for the ORS thread!

Look, life is hard for everyone, it's not an excuse for me for being a sissy like the MC in the game. Real men do not run away and cry like a baby upon seeing your cunt of an ex.

Jesus dude, you sound like a sociopath saying shit like this.

The guy had his entire future stripped away by someone he loved and trusted enough to marry, of course he's going to suffer PTSD after seeing her for the first time in years. But, since you seem fascinated with this bizarre mentality, I'll humor you by revealing the fact that there is a scene much later on where you can take revenge on Cass. If your main concern is MC not being a "real man" then that scene should easily sate you.
