If anything, if I was the MC I would've tried to the turn whole situation around like "Hahaha, this is so funny right girls? Anyway, you like her, she likes you, I like you, you like me, she likes me, I like her. Let's just roll with this and see what happens."
And that, dear internet stranger, is pretty much exactly how I socialized with those two lovely ladies sharing a college dorm, oh-so-many years ago.

People can do so much better in life if they pull their heads out of their own asses and get out of the way of their own happiness.

I say this as someone who has, too many times, had his own head up his ass and absolutely missed the signs. I gained wisdom because I was dumb. And probably still am. ;)

That's why I keep waiting for the MC to actually learn something and stop being a moron.

Nah, that wouldn't be the DPC-way of doing things. Everything has to be melodramatic. Come on, you know this by now. Lol.
Honestly, at the very least the MC could've been like "Yea, this just got more complicated. I need some time to think on this because I feel like I may be the one that ends up burned." Would still have pretty much played out the same but it would've been a lot more subdued which could feel flat in a VN since it's just a bunch of stills with some animations. I feel like DPC might have ran the scenario to be something like that at first but then ran into the problem of how boring that is for a plot device. He seems like the type of dev that really emphasizes setting the correct mood.

There's no gaslighting going on there, buddy. Josy told you in the beginning she was involved with somebody. Maya was a bit less forthcoming, but neither of them had any reason whatsoever to suspect you knew the other, there was no real deceit going on with that aspect of it.

MC over-reacted like a bitch snowflake. Yes, he's justified in being upset, but not to that extent. Especially if you consider how much potential there is for him to have been dipping his stick elsewhere the whole time. Derek was right to call him out for it, too.

The potential of him fucking around lies with the player (you), being platonic friends with girls in your life has got nothing to do with this exact scenario.
That’s like saying you get relationships because you breathed against a female once.
The overreacting is most people on this thread breaking down every dialogue like we discovered hieroglyphics, obviously you guys are absolute fans so it would be strange if none of you here did. But look at the extent of how most of you talk about everything forgetting that it is a porn game with more depth that the average nut buster.
Calling out an MC that “you” control and characters that definitely won’t exist in real life but y’all treat it that way is peak F95

A November release is still possible. If DPC winds up adding relatively few animations to those already in the queue (or these animations themselves are smaller) and ups his rate even slightly he could finish in time for a release on the 25th of November. It's longshot at this point, but as long as DPC is finally in a trimming mood (as opposed to constantly looking for things to add) we've got a chance.

I have plenty of opportunities for pessimism, I figure I might as well celebrate all these numbers with some rose-colored glasses. :cool:
Nah, he still has 40 animations left (rough estimate) and he has mentioned that they are long and complex animations and he averages 7-7.5 animations per week anyway, so still has at least 6 weeks of animation work left. If he takes 6 weeks, he'll be done by 25th November and then you add the two weeks of playtesting and we get the update somewhere in the 16-23th December.

That's ways off still then. I'd say rn my most anticipated updates are Being a dik Episode 9, Where it all began CH2 and Summers gone CH 4.5
I'm sure WIAB CH 2 will be out before being a dik ep 9 but I'm also sure they'll be a pretty close release so that's nice. SG CH 4.5 will most likely follow shortly as well so another plus. Sucks that it's gonna be in the holidays tho cause that's usually the time when things are most chaotic for me with family stuff and traveling so no time to just sit back and enjoy the updates sadly:cry:

That's if he doesn't decide to add something else to the update, further delaying the release date.

The dick pic part is hilarious but that scene in the library bothered me so much that I started new Jill and Josy/Maya playthroughs. I'm pretty anal about stuff like that. It's like the feeling where everyone knows you have dirty laundry but you don't exactly want to be wearing it out in public.
Wow, I actually rolled with it and in the end,
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

That’s why Jill’s path might be the hardest but I think it’s worthwhile.

The only routes I didn’t even touch were the MILFs, after playing a couple of VNs I feel the MILF path isn’t something I enjoy.

Something bothered me at the end of episode 8 when

and why was he panicking, it’s not like they’re related to him or he’s doing both mother and daughter (didn’t pick that path) unless it’s the same reaction regardless of your choice.

I mean there’s a lost opportunity or intentionally left out was Derek not mentioning to MC that his sister was different and dating a girl. But, then again we wouldn’t have a huge plot twist at the end of episode 3.

On any path MC ruin Tybalt a little (or a lot :KEK: ) and this may ruin the Maya's chances with Burke (I mean free tuition of course:BootyTime:). That's the basic cause of panic (MC realized he may ruined Maya's chances already), all other are just pile up.

Well, fuck that. I'm not working Christmas day again. There was more than one slightly pissed off lady last year and it was an expensive "fix". Just remember, every SanchoMod has a "SaveFixer" in it's OP. That'll buy me time.

I think you're safe, DPC is a family man so even if it's completed on that day he'll delay the release for a couple of days.
