I tend to agree the split does seem early. That said I think to get in to the character relationship stories, as opposed to the main arc, you couldn't drag things out for many more episodes. The main bit I’m annoyed by is that the others route, which would have made sense as the man whore route, is making you split as well
Well i think that some of you give waaaay to much credit to dcp as a writer, while what you say here would be a genius move from dpc if it were true and those costumes would mean something later in the story but yeah, no...
I think to force commitment on all paths in ep8 was bad, the relationships weren't on the same level.
Depends, only if you are going the Quinn route maybe atm.
Quinn, Hard lock? where? You can have fun at cum-petition, have sex with heather and camila and still "convince her" to go to her room at the end of the party. I see no lock in there.Depends, only if you are going the Quinn route maybe atm.
For me the OTHERS route is more of the same from 1-8, where you get to explore options and maybe get original LI's in a different way later on. Same goes for picking a relationship, you can still be a DIK and cheat the LI.
The game doesn't lock you per se with being a man whore. Only real hard lock so far is Jill/Quinn.
And for the moment, just the main girls are locked, which makes sense due to being in a relationship with one of them.
Imo, the split happening at around chapter 10 makes sense to me, since the game will focus on fallouts of said romances(can a threesome be maintained, breaking them up, Bella's Ex, Josy's dad, MC's background and Jills). With getting a relationship out of the way now, the game gets to focus more on the main plot. Which I honestly prefer over 5 more chapters of dating.
I'm ok with things as they are, and would prefer things to move forward and not stay the same. 2 Seasons of dating is enough for me tbh.
This is of course, my personal preference/opinion. Too each is own of course
Good! Because in my game Zoey is CHICK, that's a quick way to change her personality. Anyway I have to replay the interlude because I found it impossible to open the vault
and have to read the answer here, was too used to find the green numbers inside the free roams that the book of the interlude made me go mad, I would never have figured it out with those clues knowing nothing about poetry/verse .
Not quite, the exact explanation can be seen if you click next quote by Meushi...
Source 2 came out already, 5 games use it.
If you go Jill route, early on you are hard locked out of Quinn content/possible future LI.
I don't think work on the story is ever what takes DPC much development time. In this episode, as with others, what's consumed most of the development time is his interest in adding more and longer animations, mini-games, and similar elements. If he focused only on the story, he could probably do two or maybe even three episodes a year, but DPC clearly enjoys working on those other elements. Hard to say what most players really want (DPC doesn't do polls on that sort of thing), but no doubt future episodes will continue to feature that kind of content. A massive free roam episode is probably not going to recur, but we shall see.
the only lock you mean then is if you are not on DIK route when you invite her to your room after she got punched. I thought it was something recent on ep 9.
The 3d characters per screen were pushed to the limit with EP9. He's been using those 2D sprites before but he really likes pushing himself further. He's passed the point where he cares what naysayers think. He's enjoying himself and earning solid cash.
