Ask me again in a few years when the game is complete. But so far, with the exception of the dream sequences, sex is completely avoidable. I have it saved as my Dude route, and the mental and emotional discipline and anguish it took to create it makes it the hardest (actually "softest"
) route to play.
Yes, but not everyone wants to play a simulator of their own life.
Kellermann, don't look!
The second "don't look" post I've gotten recently...when you know perfectly well that I will. Cruelty in the guise of kindness!
These are great! I should visit BaDIK fanart thread more often it seems
I think the only exception is cum-petition, although I wouldn't really call it sex...Ask me again in a few years when the game is complete.

Of course, there are unavoidable contacts, such as kissing and grinding, and yes, those might count as sex scenes, but only to the most dedicated of the Jill fans.

For the better part of this week, I wrote code and performed quality assurance for the episode by playtesting and polishing art, code, and dialogue.
I have now added music and sound effects for most of the episode, and I still need a few more songs for specific scenes.
I started working on a big coding task that I have hinted about in the past, and today it's a good time to share some details on it.
Because the game is getting pretty big, and Ren'Py is getting pushed to its limits in some areas, I want to make a new binary for Season 3.
What this means is that after you have completed episode 8, and thus Season 2, you will save your game in a menu and continue your game using another .exe/.app file.
Making a new binary has the added benefit that the initial episodes for Season 3 will have a smaller download size, and you shouldn't have to redownload Season 1 and 2 every update.
If you're getting confused by this, think of this as the same game, only sliced into another part.
Season 1 and 2 will be one separate download. And Season 3 and onward will be another download.
From a developer's standpoint, there are some challenges with this task. My goals are to make this system simple to use for all of you, robust in transferring saves, and functional for both Steam and Patreon. While I'm at it, I also want to trim some fat stored in the save files.
I have both the knowledge and strategy to do all of this, but it will take more time to implement and test it thoroughly as the game has thousands of variables that I want to control and double-check. I have already made good progress on this during this week.
Next week I will continue writing the remaining scenes and pose more static renders.
Have a nice weekend

It's not that way, although Jill's path begins even if you don't want it to (you can't choose when you sneak into the mansion to invite her on a date), there are ways to close the path, the choices on the date and especially if you choose not to take it any further during the kiss on Bella's couch.Well I didn't mean in that sense...I meant in code. If I am correct, no matter what path you are on, Jill path is always activated regardless of what you choose throughout the game.
By avoiding LIs I meant that there are choices that deactivates their path but for Jill, there is none for now.
I suspect that those choices "Fight/Don't fight for Jill" will do that job.
And apologies, I wasn't clear in my previous post though I did say about locking in or locking Jill's path...
exactly what I wanted to say
I didn't put an opinion about M&J individually because we still don't know if there really are individual paths, but if there are, the answer to Derek may be the way to close them.
and here again you are right.
It actually CAN sort by date... if you tell it to. Go to your account preferences and find the Search Options section:
But in a few years that would require non-steam players to daisy chain a bunch of patches to get the latest version of the game. That's probably a much worse headache than biting the bullet now and splitting the game into manageable chunks.
Indeed. Plus, the longer DPC waits to implement this, the more variables there will be that could need transferring. The sooner he starts on this the better. I guess that might change if we expect DPC to wrap up a whole bunch of loose ends soon; in that case he might no longer need to track some of the old variables. But I'm certainly not betting on that.
Well, it does seem like DPC himself is one of the big bottlenecks; the art for Episode 7 was ready nearly a month before DPC was able to finish coding/writing the game. So in theory having more manpower to handle those aspects could help.
You know, normally I'd assume that's a typo. But given the circumstances I'm kinda hoping it's an obscure porn parody.
It can be done easily enough (excluding dreams and the Zoey flashback), if you put your mind to it. But there's no particular payoff thus far. Honestly, I suspect there will eventually be a special ending for an MC who manages to avoid girls throughout the entire game, but it will probably be short and very tongue in cheek.
Hints of Maya or Josy's individual path are already there. If, for example, we spend time with one of them, at the end of the episode it is noted that we have become very close to her. For example, after the Hots party in episode 7, we can refuse Josy a night out and thus keep the balance. I think after a while the fact that you spend time with one girl more than the other will affect.
