Making "Optimal" Decisions for the Mansion Work Task Assignment

Hi All,
I have been analyzing the new Mansion Work Task that was introduced in Ep.6 and wanted to share my results with you in order to come up with a superior strategy to make “best” decisions. Even if some aspects are obvious for you, at least now you have the confirmation of a random stranger from the internet

As stated above in great detail, there is a high planning uncertainty related to the optimization of the mansion work. Therefore I want to share my framework underlying this analysis which is a deliberately VBA-free Excel sheet meaning that there is a little bit of manual labor required. See below for a guide on how to use the file. It is meant to be used in each free roam (where you can work on the mansion) individually, to allow for a context-suited optimal solution. If you don't have a valid Excel license, it should also work with the freeware "OpenCalc" included in "OpenOffice" - but I can't guarantee that as of yet.

I hope that I could help at least one single person by sharing my insights.
Thanks for your attention!

Hey, this soundtrack got into me, it's good as heck ! Where did you find it ? What's the name of the soundtrack ?

Way to it is in image below



Tbh, at first I thought it sounded like Taylor swift's "You belong with me"

up to the fifth chapter Jill was a very mature character, almost out of place compared to the other students.
the fact that she resists excitement with MC, while Bella despite being married is not the least bit capable is a big difference.

in the sixth she also falls into childish behavior, becoming indecisive, unable to make decisions.

let's blame the shock for Tybalt's blackmail ...

To be fair, it's not really something people should be getting into in a game thread, like discussing the finer points of credit reports and how this proves the whole "Maya loan" situation is stupid.

Anyway, something I mentioned (which is now gone) that I found interesting about this update was the flashback Maya had to school discos. She gets approached by a guy and thinks he's asking her to dance but he's just asking her to hold his stuff while he goes to dance (jerk), but when she was asked she seemed happy about it, like she wanted to dance with him.

It makes me feel even more as though Maya was never fully gay but just convinced herself she was because she developed feelings for Josy but hadn't felt the same about any guys (yet). That's why her feelings for the MC confused her, because she thought she was gay but (cliché) maybe it's just that she hadn't met the right guy. I do think she's probably somewhat bi since she clearly enjoys being with Josy, but I also think those feelings only extend as far as Josy as she doesn't seem to think that way about other girls.

Well, sir, discussing how loans actually work is at the very least as on-topic as debating whether Maya is gay, bi or whatever. It's a main plot point which needs to be better explained in order to understand the seriousness of her dad's threat - and if it's just a mistake made by DPC it should be addressed too as a game's flaw. Which is the reason why those post aren't deleted in opposition to others discussing origins of homosexuality or personal preferences regarding women.

I love this song, the moment and oc the girls. Thanks to the uploader

If you're talking specifically about track 11, you can find it on Youtube here (along with all the other tracks introduced in episodes 4, 5 & 6):

It's called "HookSounds - Leaving With You".

Speaking of Jill, how old is she really? I know she said she was 3rd year, but that doesn't necessarily mean she started college immediately. She seems to be old enough to drink (21 yrs old in the U.S. where the game takes place) and goddamn if ol' snaggletooth doesn't look like at least a 30-yr old in a lot of shots. This one from episode 5 makes her look like an older mom. If she's 21, then that's a hard 21 and that's methed up.

a bit like Maya's skin, the quality of Jill's close-ups is very variable

or it's her older sister who replaced her

Seriously, just look at this one and chalk everything else up to ... ...bad lighting!

It would be hilarious, if MC is related to Dawe. Dawe comes also from rich family, they are sponsoring jocks gym for competition.

So true, in some shots it's like...yesssssss. In others....get the fuck away foul beast!

I think the craziest development of all would be if the MC was only related to his dad and no other living characters in the game. That would blow everyone away...

[smssm]

Hands down the best game I‘ve played so far!

 

[felicemastronzo]

mod suggestions before starting to the game

if you really want, use the Walkthrough, the mod would then make the save unusable with the next updates and the game begins to be too long to be played over again with each update

It is very possible, when MC is reading diary, we have new names in there.

almost as crazy as the fact that Mc has no idea of his mother's surname

but his father has these memory problems ...

 

[godkingxerxes]

Everybody be talking about MC imagining topless mommy, but he doesn't even know what she looks like. There are no pictures of her in the house.

There is a difference between a dream sequence and a flashback.
