And who could even imagine that you could beat it, eh!?



No... It's not... Taste is one thing quality is another... But because of those who don't know the latter and think Shakespeare is the same thing as "50 Shades of Grey" -- because it's all "taste" -- we're in the cultural state we're in...

What proves my point is you can't give any grounds and reasons to demonstrate the Interlude is good bar "it's my taste and tastes are like assholes! Everyone has one!"

I say the Interlude is bad because it's meaningless, it's not information necessary to the main plot, it changes the POV in the middle of things without no excuse except "it's my vision!" (ok, visionary...); for one to believe Zoey still liked the MC's and at the same time decided to move to SF because she was sad and saw an add on the Internet, one needs a crane for the suspension of belief. Thus the plot has no coherence, fails to grab the attention of everyone who's not interested in those slice-of-life craps. And more... Even if the Interlude's plot were any good per se, it would be bad because of it's totally meaningless to the main plot -- and proves this is the fact you can skip it in almost in its entirety, jumping directly to the part when you (i.e., Zoey) flushes her former friends phone; and you do this to set the only three variables that matter in the Interlude:

    menu:
        "Do you want to play the Interlude?"
        "Play the Interlude" if True:
            jump startInterlude
        "Skip to episode 9" if True:
            scene epi_ems44 with dissolve
            menu:
                "Did Zoey calm Emma down or take her phone?"
                "Calmed her down" if True:
                    $ emma_calm = True
                    $ emma_cluck = False
                    $ zoey_dik = False
                "Took her phone" if True:
                    $ emma_calm = False
                    $ emma_cluck = True
                    $ zoey_dik = True

Translating:
- If Zoey's DIK or Chick
- If she calmed Emma or not
- If she posted her nude cluck

That's it... All that matters... You don't even need to watch it... Not necessary to the main plot... Q.E.D.

I would tell you it is good because it gave the dev a breath of air to do something different but still expand his current story. With a small break from the currently story he will end up making a better story. So that could say it is good outside of taste. The dev rushing in to expanding the current story just to push it out could mean its rushed, cheaper quality, not as much passion at the time to create good content. These are all reasons to say it was good. We get a new role in to the story, it adds a little more conflict later on in the main story. Also others like the girl and will try to make her there LI.

So do you have to play interlude in order to play episode 9 or can you bypass it?

IIRC it has to be played once, afterwards you can pick an option to skip it and input desired outcome for episode 9.

Is there any way to transport a chapter 8 completed save over to interlude if you have the cheat mod enabled? it keeps telling me that there are a bunch of errors when migrate the save to interlude

There is no save migration. At the end of 8 you get prompted to export your game. You import that to the interlude.

If you broke shit using a mod, well, plan on this getting worse with every release, because DPC hates people who mod the game and sabotages it o purpose.

Damn. I don't completely hate having to replay again just sucks

You can't get 100% on one play through. If you help Maya you get 50% but miss out on doing it with the threesome. If you don't help Maya you'll get the 50% with the threesome. You'll need multiple playthroughs to unlock 100% (or just help Maya and then rewind).

Let's get this straight. My MC fucks Josy in EP2, he pledges Maya's help and makes out with Maya at the end of EP3. Then in EP6 I can choose between Maya and Josy. I always choose Maya in EP6 because my MC fucks with Josy in EP5. Then in EP6 when I choose Maya, I always get the threesome and still only have 50% of the scene unlocked.

Wait, that makes sense because Maya and the MC already did the thigh job at the end of EP3.

See page one for link to a bunch saves..... (see "extra's)

As hard as it is to watch a gay couple in a TV show I think it's not exactly like Auschwitz.

I mean, he's just trolling, and I'm not going to bother quoting him (an uncommon level of maturity for me), but the thing I liked was the whole "go woke go broke" trope, which is demonstrably untrue, and quite unsurprisingly so. I mean, growing the size of your potential audience can never be a bad thing.

 

[The Dick]

If DPC would be a real manly man he would embrace the memes and make Jill dress as a raccoon, or goblin for the Halloween party, in January.

As you wish...

Good for you, Light. It's always better to take things calmly.
I agree with you that there are right now a lot of excellent movies and tv shows left leaning with good audience Of course there is a lot of crap but there is always crap.

There are mods that let you pick both options.

There are 19 animations left in the queue. 5 of the remaining animations are more demanding than the rest.

The overall speed feels good. At this rate, beta testing can start in early December, usually lasting for a couple of weeks.

Mid to late December is looking good for a release, but nothing is set in stone until beta testing and proofreading start.

If you want to see a teaser from episode 9, you can download the attachment of this post.

It's nothing too spoilery, and I believe it should give you some excitement for what's to come.

Have a nice weekend
