One must be careful with this simplistic theory on how some VNs work. Many simplistically coded VNs only use a form of "relp" to advance particular scenes, hence why rookie coders tend to pump out the "select the baby-shit green colored choice is best" philosophy. That doesn't hold water in complex VNs that use event variables and elaborate conditional code to set story pathing directions. I don't want to get too far into the weeds and add to any confusion but just know that "relp" is almost insignificant (not entirely but mostly) to the branching of the story pathing. Think of other complex VNs (you've played them) and try to keep that in mind as you make your choices.Thing is, I'm pretty sure I kept open as many routes as possible (while still not knowing about the MASH) trying to maximize the points with basically every girl in the game, so I have no clue where I could have f-ed up XD
do you have a plan to get it on steam? i'm already a patron but steam is good. or gog.Just wanted to stop in real quick before I crash for the night (well, day, but my schedule is flipped right now), and say: we're almost at 400 patrons (399 as I type this!), and I know that's at least in part due to the support we've seen here on F95. So thank you, all, for the word of mouth, for the reviews (if you've written one), and just for enjoying the thing Slockie and I have created. We are grateful for the support and for all the kind words you've said about Bare Witness here. F95 might not always be the most friendly place for developers, but most of you posting here have bucked that trend, and we appreciate that.
Thank you, again, from Slockie and myself. We look forward to hearing your thoughts in the future when you inevitably steal chapter 5 from us.![]()
Yes, we'll be releasing Bare Witness on Steam when it's complete. After chapter 5 is released, we'll be doing some revisions (Slockie wants to redo the entirety of the renders in chapter 1) before it goes to Steam, so it might be a while before it's posted.do you have a plan to get it on steam? i'm already a patron but steam is good. or gog.
Before I knew about f95zone forum, I only know steam.

Athena is bae. I agree!well I can't write a review because of my reading disability
because I have a hard time explaining myself but I really love this update
as a Athena only player
I loved every second of it.
it is definitely worth the wait
I have only one word to describe this update perfect
Team Heidi (and her odd big toeAthena is bae. I agree!
Thanks for posting this! I kept missing the ham sandwich line thereI hope you're not referencing SanchoMod. If you are then you're mistaken as it clearly let's you know what you will be awarded or what you won't be awarded depending on your previous choices and even let's you know what it is you need. Example of HAM good to go, and HAM not obtainable respectively:
Wait... what? The MC is not forced into Athena. If you romanced this shit out of her then that's on you and your playthrough bud. Here's a basic list of paths if it helps you figure out what it is you want.developer;
Howdy.
Can you please add an option to reject Athena, something like: "Wait what!?... Sorry but we are just close friends -without benefits-; I did not even sexually touch you. Only saw you naked once and it was your own mistake." for example or simply "........ naaaah, I will pass.".
If it is not a traditional harem game, please give us option to reject her.
Thank you.
Howdy;Wait... what? The MC is not forced into Athena. If you romanced this shit out of her then that's on you and your playthrough bud. Here's a basic list of paths if it helps you figure out what it is you want.
Moria does not move in with you, you move into moria. that is if you clean out the orcs and the balrog first.Did something change with Moria moving in? Despite sky high affection, I'm not offering her when it's supposed to happen
To have any kind of relp with Athena you must have at least 8 "Love" for her... so you don't have to try hard to not be with her tbh. It's not like the MC has to be an asshole toward her is my point. That's the minimum for her solo. Combo paths require more as the relp progresses but that should be rather obvious.Howdy;
My MC did not romanced with her... well, at least I thought they were just close friends -at most-, my MC tried to be a loving friend of minors (different sexual choices) and whatever. Ok, I'm gonna restart again and pick most shitty choices to keep her (and the other gal) away. Thanks for answer.
Heh, I'm the opposite. I just can't take harems seriously. I need that one on one connection to the character to care about the game; maybe a one on two connection if it's really well done.I like the premise and characters in this game. I really do. But the one thing really pissing me off is the branch choices that force you to choose one girl or event over and other. I do NOT like that, in any game. Period. Ever. I want everyone and everything in one playthrough. Why do devs not make that an option in their games? Player choice in which way they want to play. I will never understand that. I have other games to play not spend 3 playthroughs for one game to get everything that I should have had in the first playthrough.
This is why I am tired of being forced to use a mod for pretty much every...single...game. Devs just need to put the stuff from mods IN their game already and stop with the bullshit. Renpy games are becoming a chore, not an enjoyment, because devs wont put the things most people enjoy, the stuff from mods (replay, cheats, etc), in their game in the first place.
Technically true, but IIRC the way off Athena's path if you've been generally friendly with her is not to spend time with her when she's recovering from her foot injury. It's easy enough to misread that option as simply more of the MC being friendly with her while she's in a tight spot, them BAM!, sex scene.Wait... what? The MC is not forced into Athena. If you romanced this shit out of her then that's on you and your playthrough bud. Here's a basic list of paths if it helps you figure out what it is you want.
