Really don't see how a lengthy detailing of the events of this game adds to the point you were replying to. :unsure:

I would, though, argue a couple of the points you've just made.

It was a response to Holy Bacchus Josy and Maya discussion.
I completely put it into spoiler-tags to not annoy other persons, but it seems I was not successful.
Who are the "we" in "we all know this"? Are there no new players or people who revisit the forum after a break of some months?
Except that a detailed response of all the events of their story wasn't exactly related to what I was saying, so I'm not sure why you thought it necessary to do so. :WaitWhat:

The free-roam part? if you have talked with everyone and you explore the mansion a bit you need to find a narrow hallway a lot of people miss the arrow at the bottom of the screen make sure to click on that.
Thanks that worked. Was also a bit drunk and not on my highest level of intelligence

It could be nice to have some indication of people you MUST interact with to move on, considering how much people has trouble with some free-roams.

First off, I'll admit I used to but no longer read everything in this thread because there is just too much going on for me to stay on top of this anymore. So my apologies if this has already been discussed.

Now given that...

to create an engaging adult VN game and have a huge fanbase that will talk and speculate about every little detail in the game for almost 3100 pages and still going strong :D
On that note, I was coincidentally browsing the beginning of this thread looking for some stuff, and this, ladies and gents, was the 1st 100% accurate speculation/theory to appear on this thread 3 days after the game's initial release.

Kudos to RanchFTW (y):love:(y)

Judging by the criminally low likes it got and responses such as this:

...it's funny how so few people believed it at the time.

So a retrospective congrats to Ranch. Now that's how you write a concise and well backed up theory - you should do it more often :D

Anyone and everyone who has played the game is well aware of the whole story Maya and Josy fans more so in case of your post. And of course, there is new players or people who revisit they had the satisfaction of playing the game to learn about their story.

What was the latest status update? (yesterday i guess)
Yes but I don't think it's on here yet the gist of it that the Beta testing and proofreading will start next week. So we are close but not yet over the line for an update yet.

I like how this person thought that Maya being gay would mean "you won't be able to fuck her". :rolleyes: If that were the case then she woudn't have been a LI. The fact that they didn't consider the possibility that she could turn straight or at least bi is laughable. :ROFLMAO:

It was posted here, just not by N7:


I promised a preliminary changelog for Episode 5 this week and here it is.
Please note, that it is subject to change after further testing.

Changelog v0.5.0
Added Episode 5 that includes


  • 2456 renders
  • 157 animations
  • 25 songs
  • 18 sound effects
  • Added an icon to indicate if a Cluck in Rooster is new.
  • Fixed a bug where you could repeatedly play guitar in Isabella's home during her free-roam event in Episode 4.
  • You can now use whitespace (space) in the save names.
  • Updated the Chat and Swyper apps chat interface.
  • When you unlock new gallery pictures in Swyper, the main menu of Swyper will show indicators for it.
  • Swapped the end credits for a code-based variant.
  • Changed the backend calculation of unlocked renders.
  • Corrected typos
Beta testing and proofreading will likely start sometime next week and it will take a while. I'm waiting for one final animation to render and I have a bit of polishing left before beta can start. When I get a grasp of how long it will take, I will have a release date ready for you.

Have a nice weekend

Honestly for me, Maya and Josy route is ruined for me. I'm not interested in a 3way relationship, I'm a 1v1 guy, just never had the desire for theesomes, and it seems like that's the only route you can take now to be with one of them? And your very much the 3rd wheel, they both would choose each other over you.

If there is still a route for only one? Cool, but otherwise that route is dead to me.

You can either be a three way with them … or friends with them that's the only choices

We are in episode 4 of estimated 10-20 episodes.
Since both girls are bi, a lot can happen, likely depending on player choices.
Doing different event-paths for Josy (single), Maya (single) and J&M-threesome for different affinities (DIK, neutral, CHICK) is a lot of work. So I would not expect a revolutionary development for Josie and Maya in the next update but over time.

Would you date Josy and Maya separatly behind each other's back or date only one of them per game?

I think there should be a 3rd option for not friends. My only issue with this game is there is a lot of forced scenarios for a choice based game. And actually lack of choice. A lot of it is an illusion of choice.
You are not alone, there are many who wanted a third option to get rid of the worst couple of characters in the game, but they are forced on you, they were since the beginning, the developer must really like them a lot.

I wouldn't date them behind each other's backs. I always pick telling Maya your going back home to see a girl. I honestly wish there was an option to not go back home. Personally if I was actually in that scenario with Josy? I'd tell her she needs to figure out her relationship status first.

I am a big fan of this game from the get go... But have to say even myself imo ofcourse I wish there was a third option

Now ur basicly stuck between friendship or a forced three way …. But since its just two choice I gladly picked friends

Simply caus I like Sage a lot more so I don't really care eitherway

Every game has an illusion of choice, you can't have total free-reign because that kind of thing is much harder to make for small, indy devs like DPC given how many renders they'd have to make and the coding required. Stories have to run on a relatively set story track where the choices simply affect what scenes you get to see, but the end destination for the story is basically the same but with a few iterations based on some choices.

Besides, we're still very early on in this story and there's plenty of time and scope for them to play an important role as well as perhaps come back to the MC as a LI (if you choose friendship) should there relationship break down again, or even if it doesn't because they could stray from each other again if they get closer to him as friends.
