At the end of the Interlude, we can see MC in a phone call with his dad, talking about Zoey being back and all, but we also hear Sage shouting at MC to get out of the restroom. I wonder if the development at that point is affected by your choices with Sage and Jade.
surely those choices will have a weight, but they are not related to the scene with Sage, that's for everyone, more likely to be related to the meeting with Maya (also the preview of the chapter goes in this direction)

Do you know how true that is? Do you know how many people don't check to see if their devices are powered on...... Then, there are the special idiots who start yelling "Why isn't it working!" Only to fingure out they didn't take their laptop, modem, phone, etc... out of the box.

The MC told Maya in EP2 that Quinn uses the girls to make money. This is how it is written.
Here is how it is actually written:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Notice how the MC has already figured out that Quinn wants to pimp out Maya, but inexplicably stops short of telling Maya about Quinn's prostitution business. He tells her that Quinn uses the girls to make money, and that she is evil and not to be trusted. Maya fails to put two and two together, then goes to Quinn's defence and says that Quinn isn't evil. Which is very odd since she had just been crying over how Quinn humiliated her, and had also just watched Quinn taser the MC in the throat until he passed out. This is one of the many reasons why Quinn is the worst written character in the game. Everyone who could and should be warned about her worst kept secret just doesn't speak of it for no reason at all.

EP6 "Damage Control"
Quinn finds out, of course. But she doesn't know everything either. She assumes Stephen wanted to buy sex from Mona, but she doesn't know the story. So Quinn uses Professor Stephen Burke's name as leverage against Mona.

Quinn: "Do you think Professor Stephen Burke would allow a female student to solicit sex on campus?"
Of course she knows everything. Anyone who reads the full conversation can see that.

As usual, Quinn fucked up by misjudging a situation. She talked Mona into meeting a client, but didn't tell her that client was Stephen Burke. Mona was a "go-getter" because Quinn was letting her believe that she would just be banging college dudes, and Mona panicked because she was unprepared for situation Quinn put her in. Quinn figured that Mona wouldn't have the guts to refuse Stephen, and would give in under pressure. And she was wrong. As always.

Quinn: "Do you think Professor Stephen Burke would allow a female student to solicit sex on campus?"

The sentence is very strange because Stephen is said to have done just that with Mona. Ergo, he wouldn't mind.
Not strange at all.

Quinn is making a very standard veiled threat here against Mona by playing the classic "Nobody will believe you" card. That's why she asks her "Do you think Professor Stephen Burke will allow a student to solicit sex on campus?" It's a rhetorical question used to get Mona to think about what will happen to her if she doesn't shut her pie hole. Who will people believe? An upstanding and respected professor, or some random girl who is whoring herself out. That's what Quinn is doing here.

Stephen deleted Mona's tuition. Ergo, she already existed. This would then mean that Stephen already fucked Mona, even though she didn't have it. Paradoxical or not?
Not paradoxical. He gave the grant in advance, then revoked it when she failed to fulfill her end of the deal. Then he expelled her.

But why does Mona have to go?
Because she already spilled the beans to Lily. She's a lose end and Burke needed her gone.

This ain't rocket appliances, buddy. The whole situation is pretty clear cut. The only mystery about Quinn's restaurant is why the hell the MC doesn't tell anyone about it?

He starts to tell Maya, but then stops short and refuses to elaborate after she asked him to clarify his perplexingly vague warnings about Quinn. He doesn't ask Sage about it either, even though he's had three perfect opportunities to bring it up with her. Maya, Josy, Sage, and Jade should all be furious with the MC when Chekhov's gun finally goes off. Bella and Jill aren't likely to be too impressed with the MC either.

It's so stupid that DPC keeps propping up his writer's pet like this. The MC was angry with Maya and Josy for their lies of omissions, so he's being a massively hypocritical douche for doing the same thing now. If the MC had told Maya and Sage, and they wouldn't believe him without proof, then it would create a scenario where Quinn would be forced to cover her tracks while the MC tries to expose her. Quinn could've been built up to look like a clever mastermind by keeping things going under scrutiny, instead of just looking like a bumbling imbecile that constantly screws up everything but magically avoids all fallout because the MC won't say a damn thing to anyone ever.

Maybe Mona and Stephen made a different deal? Mona has agreed to tell everything she knows about Quinn. Stephen is also sure he wants to protect his daughter Sage from a criminal girlfriend. So Stephen lets Mona go for now because Quinn also threatened Mona and she will come back later when Quinn is gone.
The... I... what the fuck are you on about? Sage doesn't have a girlfriend, and we already saw Sage cow Quinn into submission earlier, so we know that she doesn't need any protection either. And even if she did, there would be no need for a convoluted scheme like that.

It would be trivial for Burke to get rid of Quinn. Just have security do a surprise inspection of her dorm, and then kick her out for all the various drugs she has lying around. Quinn can't do jack shit without Stephen. Everything she said to Mona also applies to her. Nobody would believe her any more than they would Mona. Probably even less considering her appearance, behaviour, background, etc.

And most likely Mona really needed that scholarship to study.... No need to expel students if they didn't pay tuition...

MC doesn't tell because it's too difficult making 2 separate paths for it, the storyline is just too prominent. Creating one path where the MC refused the restaurant and another where he's a regular customer might be too much to implement.
So the standard will always be an MC with minimal knowledge to Quinn's restaurant and its waitresses...
There's just too many scenes involved in Burke's scheme and Quinn's restaurant and we're just halfway, the difference between the 2 paths only gets bigger each episode, it would just result in way too many different texts depending on MC's actions. DPC just leaves everything as vague as possible...

here too, however, poor planning, it was enough that MC did not see Burke and that the information to MC remained minimal

if the story doesn't require MC to know, just don't let him know, it was us players he had to show something to, there was no need for MC to be there

Maybe not, then again it could be important to the story later, even if MC only saw Burke walking the hallway. Think the way this game is organised results in some friction sometimes, the cast is limited, there's characters tied to the storylines and also to romantic or just lewd storylines. Just look at the Burke family, they are school administrator, teacher, villain, sidegirl, enemy/rival, main LI, president of a fraternity/sorority, disciplinary committee member, possible scholarship sponsor and then they have their (un)usual (troublesome) family relations between them and on top MC's relation towards any of them....

There's alot happening and the characters in the middle of the story are just few... And more often then not MC remains oblivious to important information while he's right in the place where things happen... Now being a Dik affinity MC and being a good client of Quinn's coffeeshop would explain missing alot. (i got stoned and i missed it...)
But let's face it, just spreading all these storylines to avoid too many roles would mean creating a shitload more characters...

In the scene with Jade throwing picture frames at Stephen, she does that after he told her he's been with 3 students...
So she knows from the source, what she doesn't know is how he managed to do that or who they are.
Jade doesn't know who the 3 students are, and neither do we? So... who are they?

I would put my money on Sarah and Melanie as two of them, but who might be the 3rd? The obvious choices would be either Quinn or Riona. As a freshman, Camila might be too new to have been with Stephen. Or is it someone else not on the restaurant list? Heather? Arieth!? The girl who had the 3-way? Beth? Becky? Kylie? Tara? I assume it wouldn't be one of the 5 LI choices.

I don't really agree.

here it wasn't a matter of adding one more character but of managing one with greater foresight, the most important of all: the protagonist
if later in the story it will be necessary for MC to find out, the clues for him will have to come later.

now for example there is talk of how Burke could make an attempt for Maya, this fits very badly with a Mc who could have warned her better and did not do so, he could have maybe even stopped everything and did nothing

the same will happen when Sage will find out what Quinn did behind her back. MC could have warned her but he didn't.

it's very frustrating and it actually takes away from the dramatic moments

There is a possibility it's Cammy. After all if Mona is about to get with him then there is no reason she couldn't have done it first. The problem I have with the Jade scene is that we don't know when that actually takes place. She has known about his infidelity and confronted him about it numerus times before she even meets the MC. There's no telling now who it may be.

this is a question that will never be answered

except if it refers to some episode in the past

Quinn and Riona scene arguing about expanding tells us they both have free tuition, it's also clear being on the menu in the restaurant is required, so that would leave Sarah, Camilla, Melanie (is she even on the menu or just tagging along with Sarah sometimes?) and Camilla tells us she only does the restaurant. So the 3 girls that have tuition would be Quinn, Riona, Sarah and Melanie. My guess is either not Melanie or not Quinn, think Quinn is smart enough to deliver 3 other girls to get tuition for herself. The other option is DPC will never say to avoid the NTR discussion.

I hope everyone's excited about the weekend. To kick it off, I have an announcement to make.

I've been working on a side project lately since last year's survey showed me who you wanted to see more of.

And today, I can proudly announce a new project named Being a Dawe, with a story centered around the jocks' struggle on campus.

View attachment 1734093

You'll see some familiar lovable faces like Dawe, Chad, and Anthony, and not to mention popular girls like Arieth and background character #2.

There will also be a new character named April, last name Fools.

Haha, I hope I got some of you with that, but I doubt it.

Development news
This week I worked mainly on static renders. I've focused on Josy/Maya, Others, and Jill branches. Sage and Bella already got similar treatment before this.

The current progress is ~800 static renders and 40 animations.

We're still very early on in development, yet ironically we have surpassed the produced content of the Interlude now.

I've almost reached a point where I will focus on free-roam events and lewd scenes for several weeks. I have many, oh so many, planned animations to pose. So, I hope you'll be ok with hearing me ramble about that for a while.

But first, I will isolate myself and write as much dialogue as possible this next week. I need more written material to continue creating art.

Poll news
Josy was the winner in the last week's poll. She will receive a Special render set in episode 9.

She hasn't gotten a Special render set since Episode 1, so I'm very excited about making a new one for her; it's been long overdue, and I will do my best.

Have a nice weekend

Dr PinkCake
I guess after episode 9 is released he's gonna do another interlude type episode on the jocks.
I know he's said that he won't ever hire someone to help him in development but if he's hellbent on doing stupid episodes like this he better hire someone to do it.

But that is the thing, I sill feel this outcome is only happening this way because DPC wants the plot not question it too early, before he hits us with one of his cliffhanger twists.

Maybe I am expecting too much in asking the MC to connect what he knows about Quinn's restaurant, the 'free tuition' rumors from Maya(Even though he questions this exact thing in his inner monologue at that time), what he has seen here at the party and the fact that Burke is the head faculty member, but in worst case scenario he should be able to realize that Burke is very likely a client in Quinn's restaurant.

Yet he still doesn't tell Maya anything, not when she tells him that she slapped Quinn in ep6, not before going to the meeting. He doesn't have proof, but he at least should feel the need to warn Maya to not get her hopes up and be weary of this shady individual. At this point I have a theory MC is tired of Maya's bs and is setting up her downfall so he can have Josy' succulent ass all for himself.
I don't think it's quite as bad as it appears at first glance. The MC has no reason to connect Burke with Quinn, and it would be a pretty stupid thing for Burke to do outside of a porn game. If the MC does see Mona run off in Episode 5, I think it's much more likely he would suspect Burke caught Mona doing something inappropriate, and she subsequently fled out of a mix of embarrassment and desire to avoid the consequences of being caught.

Even if the MC took the next step and suspected Burke of something darker, it's more likely that he was acting on his own and simply tried to take advantage of Mona when an opportunity presented itself. Without the cutscenes we've seen, the MC doesn't have a reason to make that final connection of Burke as active conspirator, much less the source of the true free tuition.

Of course, the MC still knows *something* happened between them, and he should suspect either Quinn or Burke of putting Mona in a serious bind. He should be asking some pointed questions about what happened, but we all know he has the curiosity of a wet sponge on most days. :confused:

Melanie isn't on the list though and freely hops in the sack with the MC without ever asking to be paid so i have my doubts she even knows what's happening. Camilla just recently started too and was in the room with Mona at the party where she storms out and leaves when confronted with the choice to sleep with Burke. Odds are he was wanting both of them at the same time and he grossed her out. That leaves Sarah, Riona and Quinn as the likely suspects that Burke has gotten to sleep with him.

The rumors female students are getting scholarships for sex is another thing : it's mentioned in the local paper but Becky seems to know about it aswell. So if it's just 3 girls that are in Quinn's restaurant there's the question where the rumors come from.
So the papers might hear rumors from business men involved but that would mean it's not just Burke getting free sex....
If the papers get it from parents of students this raises even more questions, parents will not be happy with events like this if their little girl is in a college where things like that happen...

So lets go with Becky knowing the rumors and not from the papers.... it's not likely the girls involved told her and if it happens at the prep mansion this would mean either preps are spreading the rumors or they are being spied on and the spies spread it.
Again the Tri-Beta's have a peeping tom and 2 others mostly playing with their drone with an onboard camera...

Everyone on the menu hops on the MC if you play your cards right. Also during the meeting with Quinn and Riona, doesn't Quinn say that Sarah and Melanie are already paying for themselves? Why would she say that if they aren't on her menu?

That's for the drugs and whatever else the restaurant money is used for, they are paying for themselves by serving enough clients in the restaurant. That remark basicly takes away Riona's concerns she has to provide for others then her and Quinn.
