Anyone else feel like this episode wasn't necessarily worth the wait? It really doesn't feel like enough happens each episode to justify this story taking so many years irl to complete. Like how many more time skips are we gonna need in game to facilitate the feeling of moving forward in some capacity? Like otherwise how many "insane drama" set pieces can happen in MC's first year of college? I feel like the amount of time skips needed will make it seem like ultimately most of "life" of this "slice of life" will be happening off screen.

Just compare this to AL when i comes to the narrative pacing and feeling like the game respects your time investment (both irl dev time and the amount of hours it takes to complete the story from start to finish). Idk maybe I'm in the minority. But i can say I am glad I'm not paying DPC anymore
Cause DPC keeps making branches LOL

Now we are going to wait more time because of the branches Dx

The police show up where he's distributing the drugs, with a recording of him, and all the information Quinn could have given up, for me it's settled. If Buddy gets out of jail 2 days later, Quinn's dead, there's no other option, or Quinn runs away, but that would be a bit of a weird ending for her (unless you imagine an early endgame where the MC leaves with her).

As for the story, it makes more sense to reduce it to a Vinny/Quinn face-off.
Don't forget the fight in MC's room at Halloween party. There was the option to hit Vinny or not...

Honestly I feel the same way about Josy. IMO Josy is super emotionally needy, she's very frightened of talking about anything serious, the fact that she resorts to lies when people ask her about the throuple after the halloween party is a huge turn off. I really don't like her declaration that she'd never introduce MC to her parents was another red flag. It's being addressed as a plotline now but her lack of character development has made her very boring to me.

Maya on the other hand is a lot more comfortable talking about things, she shows a sense of humor more often, she's even been a lot more adventurous, like at the dorm party, or at the halloween party behind the green screen, even the

scene in ep 11 she seems way more willing to push things than Josy. She's just more openly expressive of her feelings for MC and isn't scared to show it. Granted she has a pessimistic view of things, which isn't surprising considering her plot line. I've seen complaints that she's just too much of a downer, but to me that's a weird reason to dislike someone, everyone needs help sometimes.

Even if you put all that aside, I just find Maya more physically attractive than Josy.

Josy is still my favorite girl, but i agree to many things here.

But things changed. At first Maya was lying and a really closed book. Demand 100% honesty of MC, without even getting close to said 100% herself. The lack of honesty was something that bothered me a lot, not as much that she wasnt open about everything, no... its just the fact that she demanded 100% honesty of the MC without being that herself that bothered me a lot. If you demand something from others, you should give it yourself too. If you cant do that, dont demand it from others.

Josy never demanded such things, and was a little more open to the MC at the start.

But those things shifted a lot. With each episode Maya opened up more, and after episode 9 Josy began to seclude herself more and more.

That Maya opened up more in every regard was reasonable because of her character development. First telling MC about the family issues, than about the relationship issues with Josy, her concern about lacking experience with boys, until the point everything was out in the open after episode 10 with her family and whatnot.

Josys development goes in the opposite direction. But in my opionion DPC did a really bad job in that regard. Until episode 9 she was all peachy, fun, nice, overly friendly. And only here and there she said that she is a little self-concious about her hight. Wich is ok, she is a petite person. But thats something that makes her even more adorable (and yes, petite ladys are a huge turn on in real life for me too, and to be clear, petite doesnt mean "loli")... so, besides her small figure, nothing pointed in the direction that she basically questions her whole existence.

But out of the blue, everything is basic about her, and she is all depressed about that, is using social media to get popular and so on, thats so out of the blue and not reasonable at all. Its just... DPC thinking "ok, Mayas drama is done for, now i need to add drama to Josy... what can i do, what can i do... oh yes, she thinks she is only a basic girl and needs to change that making a social media presence" Thats just so bad and doesnt fit her character at all. If you force drama on a character like that, it should have been "hinted" beforehand that she has such issues with herself. But nothing besides her hightissues pointed in that direction at all, not that heavy at least... i mean, she is basically at a point where she asks herself "why do i even breathe? Am i allowed to consume air?" Thats just... way off. The lying part is another thing that doesnt fit her character. A little white lie is something else, but being fine with it to even lie to the MC about her problems is something completely off character for Josy, cause she was way more honest than Maya from the start. And now not anymore... that is totally strange and doesnt fit her character. Even the "vibrator" scene was something that bothered me... Josy had ZERO problems to be daring with the MC basically all the time... and all of a sudden not anymore? What? I really have my problems with how DPC wrote Josy in the last 3 episodes... its to sudden and makes no sense, not how it is shown now.

Or they could kiss and have makeup sex. Vinny's been missing her holes. :(

1.Jillybean's cucking path (y) 10/10
the flirting,the childish naivety of whacko banana,
the seeds are planted,now it's just a matter of waiting..:love::love:

2.Lilys blossoming path 8/10
as i said before,
you will see her feelings starts to blossom when you give her love and treat her tenderly,
you hear her story about how she became like this ,
her bullied childhood,how she always had to stand up for herself,
now it's just a matter of waiting to see how she will deal with her new feelings..

3.shrimp and albino story 5/10
i played it for a while,but i just couldn't watch it anymore..:rolleyes::rolleyes:
still albino with her complaining (and still not moved..:mad::mad:)
shrimp who wants to fill her empty existence by spending all her money on useless clothes,
and will eventually yet another " uwu " girl on onlyfans out of poverty..
and then she gets the " most wonderful idea " to spend even more money to cheer the MC op with an anal session from both of them (which she barely manages .. )
Really Josy,you should start a psychiatrist's practice together with Arieth,a successful duo..:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Unfortunately there isn't much of Nicole,and i still have to play the rest..
I'm interested in the new path with the new lab partner (and I'm not talking about Sally LOL)

I actually suspect it wasn't a poodle. It seems pretty strange to me to name a poodle poodles. I reckon she wanted a poodle and got some other sort of dog, so she called it poodles.
Is it any stranger than naming your cats Whiskers, Puss puss, Mr. Paw, Pinkie and Lemons? And then using the same names for your imaginary boyfriends? :HideThePain:

Just when I forgot how much I absolutely hate the new brawler... Is there any way to skip only it (play other minigames) while not losing the stuff its completion gives?

Turn minigames off before it, and turn them back on afterwards. (you can use mods, URM or console commands).

The whole game Acting Lesson is not as big as episode 10 for example... so i dont get you, you basically complain that being a dik is "too big" and want a way shorter experience. *shrugs* thats ok... but than this game is the wrong game for you, thats it...

being a dik as 20 times more characters, so of course everything takes longer. Acting Lesson didnt have any other sotry that the psycho bitch burining down something and the relationship with two girls. Thats it. 5000 renders, 200 animations, and the game was done. Comparing AL with being a dik is not really reasonable.

The whole development of AL took about 2 years. First release was may 2018, so you can say... half a year in advance the creating process started. And the last update was August 2019. So, between initial release until the last update, it took 13 months, add 6 month developemnt before the initial release and we have 19 months development time for AL, i would add a little more cause DPC had to learn everything in advance, so lets say... 2 years for the whole game, with 5000 renders and 200 animations, no minigames, less music and so on... in TOTAL.

Episode 11 consists of more than 7000 renders, 20 times more characters, has nearly 400 animations (which are not needed, ok maybe half of them were enough, but well... DPC likes to create them and the animation queue is needed as a timekeeper for his healthy workshedule anyways) and the whole episode took 13 months including a lot of minigames, selfmade music and it goes on and on......

So... you want less content in 2 years than now, but after those 2 years the game should be done with, thats what you are saying... Hm... yeah... *shrugs* ok. Each to their own, but yeah... i dont get that at all.

No... but setting the difficulty to normal and max out speed and power makes it easy to finish fast and without problems.
