0.8.0 was a full download for everyone because he updated the Ren'Py engine from 32 to 64 bitsHey guys i have the game till 6.1 can someone provide me a link for the new Chapters or do i need to redownload the 20 gigs?
Derek doesn't have a job, does he? (He volunteered for some time but that does not give him money personally.) The dad gives Derek more freedom because he is not a homosexual (and maybe because Derek is male), it's just that simple.Not having a single source of income is never the right idea. She is apparently in this situation because of that and just doing what she is told. Someone said that Derek automatically has more freedom in the family because he is a male but I don't think that is the case. Being who he is it's more likely that he just says fuck it and doesn't put up with it.
You would think that most people in that situation would be talking to the administration or something about her options. She is a co-signer on that contract, not an unwilling reciprocate, she has more say in it than she thinks. On a side note, if she is this naive and so easily manipulated then she doesn't really have any place in a social field. Especially if she would be giving advice to people that need help.
That is a decompression error. It looks like you are either trying to run it from inside the compressed archive or the program you used to extract it did do the job correctly. I don't know what platform you are on but 7zip has never given me any problems.I've tried looking through this forum and steam forums but cant seem to find an answer so figured I just ask if someone could help me with this error I get upon trying to start the game.
I've never played this before so I have no save files or anything. Im trying to run the 0.8.2 full game for s1-s-2.
The season 3 interlude seems to start up fine but i cant even play it without a previous save so idk what to do, any help or point in the right direction is appreciated.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

What some people seem to keep forgetting is that the time passed within the story is currently quite short; and most of the characters haven’t known about Maya’s problems for very long.Derek doesn't have a job, does he? (He volunteered for some time but that does not give him money personally.) The dad gives Derek more freedom because he is not a homosexual (and maybe because Derek is male), it's just that simple.
And yeah, not talking to administration is dumb, but it's not Maya who's dumb, it's DPC's shitty writing. If one person tries to solve a problem on limited time on her own and fail to see a simple solution, we can chalk that up to dumb. If many people are collectively solving a problem on extended amount of time and no one sees the simple solution, it's shitty writing.
I tried with 7-zip and it worked, thank youThat is a decompression error. It looks like you are either trying to run it from inside the compressed archive or the program you used to extract it did do the job correctly. I don't know what platform you are on but 7zip has never given me any problems.
Look, you can keep defending DPC, but the crux of the matter is that 4 people (MC Maya Josy Sage), some of who (Sage) is proclaimed to be smart by someone who looks smart (Bella), have spent considerable amount of time trying to solve a problem, and no one even suggested that Maya go talk to the school financial office to understand her situation, before going to Sage's parents and asking them to cough up tens of thousands of dollars.What some people seem to keep forgetting is that the time passed within the story is currently quite short; and most of the characters haven’t known about Maya’s problems for very long.
The mc's only known Maya for about 2 months, since they've only just sat their midterms, and he's only known about her dad's black mail for about half that time.
Since he's known, the mc has also been dealing with heaps of other shit, and hardly spent much time considering Maya's predicament (a huge amount of his time has been dealing with his own issues, like repairing the mansion and fucking as many girls as he can ).
Derek has known the longest, but he's not exactly reliable; he's definitely not someone we'd expect to be dispersing sound financial advice.
I'm not sure how long Josy's known about the blackmail for, but she's even complained that Maya isn't trying to solve her own problems. They've been fighting and bitching with each other half the time.
So even though we, the readers, have had ages to discuss the issue, the characters in the story have not.
To make matters worse, Maya had dreamed up her hairbrained scheme of joining the HOTs and having them pay for her tuition, so she put all her eggs into that basket, only to have it fall through. By then she'd pretty much wasted the first month of college without even considering other avenues for solving her situation.
Then after sulking and wasting more time, Maya is now relying on Sage trying to help her.
I wouldn't call this bad writing, I'd say it is Maya's fault for being dumb (she was deliberately written that way). She's been called out for it by Josy:
And the mc's had a go at her for constantly dramatizing it all:You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
If anything, DPC has managed to characterise most of the prominent characters quite well. They have a few inconsistencies (proving they're not just computer programs... well actually... they are ), but on a whole each character is defined well enough that we come to expect certain behaviour from them.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
So it's not shitty writing that in the stretch of roughly a couple of months, a handful of characters, who have been dealing with numerous distractions, haven't come to the rescue and solved all of Maya's problems yet.
Personally I find it quit perplexing that anyone can work their way through this game, pay full attention to everything it has to offer, and turn around and suggest the game has shitty writing.
Of course the game isn't perfect, but the detail, foreshadowing, dialogue, and direction are so far above most of the competitors here, I wonder where these critics are getting their reference for what good AVN writing is.
I absolutely agree with you, my friend.What some people seem to keep forgetting is that the time passed within the story is currently quite short; and most of the characters haven’t known about Maya’s problems for very long.

I dont even now how you managed, but the entire Sage storyline of Ep08 is about her JUST finding out, how the fuck does that translate to a "considerable amount of time" ?Look, you can keep defending DPC, but the crux of the matter is that 4 people (MC Maya Josy Sage), some of who (Sage) is proclaimed to be smart by someone who looks smart (Bella), have spent considerable amount of time trying to solve a problem, and no one even suggested that Maya go talk to the school financial office to understand her situation, before going to Sage's parents and asking them to cough up tens of thousands of dollars.
They don't need to solve the problem for her in that time frame. But if no one suggests during the entire month (per your timeframe above) that she should do the painfully obvious thing that can help, that's shitty writing.
That's a real narrow view on what the social field actually is. There's social work involving care for people from birth till death.On a side note, if she is this naive and so easily manipulated then she doesn't really have any place in a social field. Especially if she would be giving advice to people that need help.
Never said his writing is good, I said that the person who I replied to before, got it wrong. And yes there is a financial aid office at every College, and not a single one of them will care, if a student already has a full ride student loan. To qualify for financial aid, certain conditions have to be met, and Maya doesnt tick a single box.shazba TimHawk and others defending DPC's "writing".
DPC's writing is not good. I am giving you that straight up. He gives it to you straight up that his writing is his weak point in interviews with him. He can not follow logic/tell his tale to save his life. His story AL was terrible except for the wingman, and his story here is laughable except for the wingman. His MC's are particularly unlikable, and yes, his writing of Maya and her situation is completely stupid. This is supposed to be an American college. In all American colleges that are not rip off's like say tRump university, there are ways for students to get financial assistance if they are in need. Maya's "bank" problem is a money problem. The college financial folks can assist her in finding alternate means of funding her education with, or without her father.
DPC is a master at his renders, animations, and picking music that fits his art. He pretty well sucks at writing a coherent story.
Peace

This is gonna come out of blue i know but i can't believe both Maya and Sage are taller than MCWhat some people seem to keep forgetting is that the time passed within the story is currently quite short; and most of the characters haven’t known about Maya’s problems for very long.

But he IS paying, thats what everyone seems to confuse. You're a lawyer, Maya was 18 and signed co-ownership of her loan to her dad, now i critisized that many times, because thats not how it work. but from the College perspective, everything is dandy.She does if her daddy isn't paying.
She needs funding for college. Whether it is spending money or dorm/tuition money, the girl needs money. At a minimum the college will have resources to assist students in finding jobs. Whether those are workstudy type jobs does require financial aid evaluations being performed. If her father is being a douche, this won't qualify her for much of course, but they would still help her find a non hoe job.
