played the new update yesterday, another brilliant update.

Love the way the story is going regarding own fraternity, am actually nervous that things are going blow up on the MC regarding all the woman he slept with as well, I could say a tonne about each thing in the update but don't want to spoil it for those that not played yet.

It was alright update, I had my fun. Again, mostly thanks to in-game social media and some humor highlights. What really suprised me is that DPC dropped the ball at his supposedly trademark aspect: writing. On a small scale it's still polyshed, edited, fluent and simply pleasant to read most of the times but on a plot scale... oh boy. I wasn't impressed with it much when I played before this update, plot has too much coincidences and other questionable stuff but it was okay overall. But now

I critized last time that DIK/CHICK lines sometimes badly fit with neutral ones so guess what? It fixed, MC now barely can choose anything. And not just a small dialogue flavour, besides the main question "who shall I bone" no meaninful choices whatsoever. In ep4 various places to sleep was really a promising move but now it boils down to railroad again.

As for developing rate, while I'm aware that I pretty much don't belong to target audience, it seems to me that resources going in the wrong direction. I mean, yoga animation, really? Are people actually fap to that? It's beyond me. I wish animation was much more rare because polyshed static renders gives much less uncanny valley effect than awkward animations besides obvious less time investment. But my guess is that this trend will only continue and updates become even more rare with tiny plot/main girls progress but more flashy stuff.

I've noticed that DPC has paired most of the main girls besides Sage, to unlock the entire story you can't invest completly into one fearing what happened in AL, like most of us , I still know he's going to kick me in the guts when we hit V0.8 or V0.9 and we'll have to choose one and sacrifice the other. What I'm getting at is DPC wants us to "It's better to have loved than not at all" when playing the game which makes his game stand out to me. So no you won't get the happy polygamy. (T-T)

Considering what happened in AL and the massive amount of flak they got for it, I think they'd be foolish not to have at least one happy polygamy path in this game. However, the fact that we had a choice between M&J in this episode makes it feel like we may have more choices like this in the future where we choose one over the other and I personally am not keen on that going foward. I'd prefer that any separate point accumulation occur in unavoidable, story-related scenes, like in ep 3 where you decide to help Maya or not, rather than either/or separate scene choices.

in isolation I’d believe that. I was staunchly of the opinion, and was prepared to die on this particular hill, that the comments made before about not hooking up with “friends” by Bella was in reference to the MC.

Based on either comment alone I’d still be sceptical but in bed they use too many definite articles. Something specific happened and Bella really doesn’t want to talk about it.

You don’t come to an agreement about never discussing some sleep cuddling. I do hope I’m wrong because it just seems entirely out of character for both of them. Not the implication on their sexuality just their personality thus far.

Alcohol does strange things to people. Bet it was during one of their wine nights. That would explain the deviation from their standard personalities.

Still no walkthrough? Without it, it is like walking blind on a mine field. I have checked comments and eg. I missed the whole Lily Tequila thing, so yeah, a walkthrough update would be nice. (most secret renders are rather easy to spot, that is not an issue, even the vault code is a no brainer)

I hope that the mother is still alive, it would really suck if it's just some boring inheritance ( and it would make no sens , how in the fucking world would he receive it now instead of when she died ?)

I don't know how to feel about it if that is indeed the case (as in, MC's mother Lynette turns out to be alive). Alternatively, the letter may be from Lynette's family (which was mentioned to be filthy rich and disapproving of the romance between Neil and Lynette), perhaps his grandfather or aunt (somewhere along those lines).

MC and his father did lead a pretty normal life, so Lynette's family may have taken some time to track them down.

You had to have done something wrong with the install or something. I, and many others, have done multiple runs along multiple routes on both sides of the affinity chart. No issues

Did someone else also lose his progress in rewards? After loading my save from the last version I don't have any renders, scenes, or wallpapers unlocked, all erased
