If Sage's mother really is Madame, this would be a lazy plot twist from DPС. The player could avoid her altogether on the Chick branch and not go to Pink Rose and if she turns out to be the mother the player would have no emotion. He won't know who it is at all.
But I think if someone is Sage's mother, it should be a universal character that is encountered in the story.
Maybe Cathy or Bianca's mom.

You learn about Bianca only on Jill's path where you have less activities with Sage and the other HOT girls. Bianca's family is very wealthy. AfaIk Bianca's mom is not in the game yet.
Imho to connect Sage and Bianca would not make much sense storywise.

We learn about Lynette's friends in the diary, and Bianca herself is first seen at the party in ep9.
So there's no way to avoid her.

If you are not dating Jill then Bianca, Matthew, Olivia are just named characters on the party without further interaction.

Not sure if I remember this scene from Bella's path. Do you have to go out of your way for it?

Also, for Jill's path - does it matter if you appear in the episode 2 photos in Tybalt's room?

The Bella shower scene from episode 6 is after she's helped the mc clean his room, she blows him and they have a shower.

It's actually easy to miss the mc joining her in the shower because it's one of those render sequence scenes where they say something like, "Press any key to continue" and if you press it too soon, you miss a few renders.

It doesn't matter if the mc is in the photos or not when they desecrate Tybalt's room and toothbrush, it only matters if you steal money from Jill during that free roam. You'll lose 5 relationship points from Jill if you stole from her.

You'll lose the points during the scene where Jill confronts the mc about her stolen underwear (which she later finally find Tybalt's watermelon wearing... while he's fucking it... )

Is it just my opinion or episodes 9-10 are not as good as the previous ones ? Of course, there are lots of different path to build, but the stories looks shorter end shorter... Waiting one long year for this is quite disappointing even if i still want to know what happen next (with Riona...)

Question. What do you think about this? Could it be true?

I think what’d make a fascinating twist is if Sage’s biological father turns out to be Stephen Burke.

Imagine if you will: pre-Jade, pre-fortune, Stephen was just another lowlife rutting around the city, sleeping with the loosest of women because they were the only ones who’d give him their attention. Then he gets a good job, makes good money, meets Jade, marries her, makes a lot more money. Jade wants kids but she’s barren. Stephen still knows these women he slept with, and knows their lives are rough, and rather than spend years trying to find and adopt a white American infant, he offers to adopt their kids. While unaware they’re also his kids.

Because he doesn’t know, he never tries to connect with them, and Jade’s no prize herself. Resulting in a fucked-up argyrophilic narcissist of a son, and a fucked-up emotion-suppressing daughter. And unknown to both of them, they’re biological half-siblings.

Yeah, this probably won’t happen but I still like the idea. It’d really fuck with Stephen’s head. Tybalt would love it. Sage… well she’d probably resent the hell out of him, but that’s better than the weird mixture of respect and regret she’s currently doing.

Come on guys, this is not a shitty Southamerican telenovela.

Anyway, still no status update today.

Yeah, Acting Lessons didn’t enter telenovela territory at all.

I wrote dialogue until Wednesday, after which I started working on static renders to get a short break from writing. I've been working on Sage, Quinn, Jill and some other spoilery scenes. I have a good flow going on with the art and will continue working on it next week.

I am planning what I can show as the first preview. I'm sure there will be something to show this month.

The animation queue is still looking solid. PCs have a good render speed and plenty left to render.

Q&A
The second part of the Q&A will be released sometime next week.

Another dataless report...

Couldnt even mention the size of the render queue?

Are there any advantages of using the Neutral affinity compared to the other two? Cause it kinda sucks for me rn ngl.

sage "I'm gonna go check on the other guests. Thanks for the talk, Josy."
sage "It was very informative. I didn't realize that you and [name] had that history."
mc "What did you tell her?"
josy "I told her some stories about work and such."
josy "Nothing in detail, if you're worried."
---
mc "You know what I mean..."
josy "When did things get this hard?"
mc "For me, it started when I took a job at a local minimart."
josy "Imagine if we never did. We'd meet here at college instead; it might have been totally different."

If they knew each other before the job at minimart then it should sound differently.


Sage uses "Morgan", it wouldn't had help MC to figure out who she was really even if he asked her months ago. Tybalt, Stephen and Jade are Burkes. Sage also never asked MC last name till EP9. So, she is a weirdo too? Or she just don't give a fuck what MC last name is, because she doesn't care? The only girl, who intentionally tried to hide her lastname was Jill, for obvious reasons. MC found out the last names of Maya and Josy naturally, without interrogating them. But it didn't happened with Sage. And even if that had happened, "Morgan" wouldn't have helped him in any way.

Do you always ask people for their last names? One thing when you can sneak a peek, like on badge or accidently on some documents, maybe credit card and so on, the other thing when you ask it on purpose. I don't know 90% last names of my colleagues at work still, while I work at this place for 15 years already. And what? I don't give a fuck, it's an extra and not required information for me, I don't want to know and remember this. You may argue that Sage is MCs friend or even a girlfriend. Ok, will you immediately ask your new friend or girlfriend for the last name? Even if you haven't found out before? Are there any deadlines? Like several days, weeks or months? Just curious.

Josy or MC would had said something if they did if they knew each other before the minimart they might had saw her each other in passing but didn't know each other

Yeah, it's been a boring few weeks so far
DPC is probably building up the queue and working through his animations, which is the main thing he can do to minimize those bottlenecks at the end of the dev cycles
I think we might start getting some tangible data after the Q&A is done entirely, so next week or the one after that
At least we know he was working on three different girls
A promised preview this month would surely help with the drought of info

 

[Dr. Javi]

I have my weekly meeting with my boss in three minutes where I have to tell her, in detail, what I did all week. I wish that I could just say “I worked on things this week and will work on more things next week.” I love DPC, but why even bother weekly reports when they are like this.

It was actually expected given the ending of ep10. The ending hints at some drama on the Sage, Others and Maya/Josy branch, so it's no wonder there's no preview.
Some sort of plot crisis won't last long, the game's narrative is jumpy after all.
So I guess the first one will be Jill's preview, simply because she doesn't have any unexpected twists and turns and is generally quiet.
