As far as being rejected by Josy and Maya, that only happens if a) you have DIK Affinity, or b) you didn't sleep with Josy *AND* didn't help Maya with her scavenger hunt. DIK Affinity would require making a minimum of 5 DIK major decisions (at that point), so I'm guessing you didn't have sex with either of the girls.
For Riona, I'm not sure if you *need* any money for her path (assuming you turned down the restaurant), though it would help. If you have mini-games turned off and aren't paying for sex, it's not too hard to save up enough to give Riona at least $$ at the prep party. If you are paying for sex, you'll probably want to consult the official walkthroughs to find the money, and possibly avoid staying with Sage in Episode 4; the rewards for that path aren't financial.
I think some of the animations a net positive for the game. Most are okay, but I would be just as happy making due with static renders. That said, animations are clearly popular overall, so I don't think DPC could drop them at this point.
For mini-games, I actually like them. The game is a much better game with them turned on, and the mansion repair game is awesome. They only become a problem when you're trying to replay the game for the Nth time, which is why I turn them off in most of my alt runs. I'm glad they're optional (especially now that DPC has finally added extra money to compensate for the loss of income), but I don't want them to go away.
Or he could have skipped the gum entirely and left the MC with his original hair. It was a pointless sequence that had no funny jokes, did nothing for our relationship with Bella, and made the MC look way too much like Tommy.
Hmm. My runs are a bit different:
- Bella
- Sage
- Jill
- Maya & Josy
- Maya
- Josy
- Quinn (just in case)
- Neutral
- Pure DIK
- Pure Chick
- Pure Dude (no sex)
- <Space reserved for Zoey>
From very early on, I saw that the safest route to any LI was to have an exclusive route where I avoid intimate contact, and in some cases close friendships, with everyone else. Also, I like to see how things play out in the long term using various decisions, and I want to see them revealed organically, so I'm not much on using mods to do it.

It wasn't quite a lucky guess, it was clear Zoey was too significant a character never to revisit. But I do agree my prediction isn't all that impressive as I'd still say she doesn't have a good hook to re-enter the story. Hence, as you say, the Interlude. But you guys don't need me rehashing my Zoey rant again.While I'm happy for you, this is just a very lucky guess, thanks to DPC, - and I can't believe I'm saying this, - BAD Writing. There was nothing that ever suggest Zoey was more than what she was, nor she should be. A past, a memory. This is nothing like, Troy and Chad, or Sage parents, or even Josy and Maya, that looking back now, you can put the puzzle together.
It is a repetitive, waste of time. He did this in acting lesson too, bring back the EX .
This is why we have this waste of time " Interlude " shit, instead of the development of Episode 9, something that is more important. HE need to give her context, because he pulled this idea out of his ass. Unless she has a different story, other than being a fuck toy for MC again, to mess his present relationship. But based on acting lesson, probably this is all she is.
at this point we can't no longer rule out the idea of him killing of one of the love intrest again.
overall, I was literally rolled my eyes, when she showed up in the end of episode. I expected Better and more from him.
we will see how popular this will be with patreon. Usually there is a big jump when there is a new episode, I'm curious how this will play out for them. Hopefully it will fail, and we won't get any more intermezzo
BTW, I'm glad to see you're back to the Josy avatar, Chip.
While the lighting has improved, I think the original Josy look was actually slightly better.
Zoey doesn't need a backstory, she needs relevance. She's been out of the MC's life for at least 7 months. More importantly, the MC may just have committed himself to a new relationship. Given that, it doesn't matter how many awesome adventures she's had or how much time we spend watching her in an alien context. What matters is how she fits in with the story we've all been following.Zoey isn't a new girl, she's a lightly established character with a significant tie to our protagonist.
Regarding the Interlude, I can understand why DPC felt the need to do this. Rather then just throw Zoey into the story/mix without any sort of explanation or backstory he wants to flesh her character out and presumably provide an explanation for her return. Without any sort of dive into her character/past very few people will care about her, some players didn't even recognize her nor know who she was at the end of episode 8
The best way to achieve that is to get her involved in events with the main cast ASAP so she can start forging her own connections. That would let her connections to the MC crop up in a way that advances the overall plot as well. It will still be an uphill climb with such a large cast, but it's the best way to integrate her.
Crashing the story to a halt while DPC plays catchup would be much worse. Sadly, DPC has given every indication the Interlude will be exactly that.
It is just for me that the torrent file isn't working? it's stuck in "Searching for Peers 0.0%"
downloading direcly from the browser it will take around 20~24h (i miss you nopy).

Before any of that people need to know who even Zoey is. I don't think integrating a character into the story who some players have completely forgotten about is a good idea. Like many others I'd rather have the next episode over some interlude episode for a character I care little about but oh well, DPC is moving ahead with it and we've no choice but to suck it up and deal with it.Zoey doesn't need a backstory, she needs relevance. She's been out of the MC's life for at least 7 months. More importantly, the MC may just have committed himself to a new relationship.

In the very first status update, he said that the backstory about Zoey was supposed to be included in episode 9, but because of its size and the need to test the transfer of saves, he decided to create an Interlude. I consider the interlude simply as part of episode 9 for technical reasons highlighted as a separate episode. Perhaps in the future this will become the norm for him and he will divide whole episodes into sub-episodes, releasing them separately.
Zoey is primarily a tool or, as they say, a plot puppet, which, although it has its own background, is unlikely to be independent and introduced into history for certain purposes. The game has been standing still for a long time. The last two episodes, nothing happens. An introduction to the story of an ex-girlfriend is an old scenario trick to concretize a relationship with a specific girl, but even if you make mistakes, this does not mean that you will stay with Zoey. He will play his part and leave. This is the role of all plot puppets. I would have preferred to see Riona's backstory, she could easily have played the role of a shadow rival, but I think DPC is a little tired of the main cast, and because he constantly introduces new characters.

I take your point, but IMHO, trying to accelerate that process by force-feeding us Zoey's history in a massive, overproduced flashback is likely to backfire. We can get to know Zoey the same way we got to know everyone else: through observation, dialog and interaction with the rest of the cast.
If that means it takes longer until Zoey is ready to be a pivotal character... well, that's precisely my point. As endless fanfic authors have ably demonstrated over the years, asserting that a new character is every bit as pivotal as the established cast is a perilous undertaking. Whatever her backstory with the MC might say, Zoey is an interloper to *us*. She needs to start small.
I agree we seem to be stuck with the all-Zoey-all-the-time Interlude, but that doesn't make it a good idea. Not from what little I've seen, anyway. I'd rather raise my objections now - even if we all know those objections will fall on deaf ears.
I assumed that the positive pregnancy test was about Zoey. Well at first I thought it was Maya given how her last Lewd scene went (dorm party classroom scene), but when I realized who showed up on Neil's door I assumed it was the ex-girlfriend who was pregnant (but timeline and her not looking pregnant might be off).
Not saying I like it, but it fits what I expect from DPC and forces relevance.
