I can not unlock this seen. I can watch this seen but it will not unlock

 

[Nemo56]

Nemo56 Restarted one of the earlier games I played Area69 If your looking for a filler game try it and tell me what you think of it.

I might take a look. yesterday evening I started "Syberia - The world before" however. When I'm not playing porn games, I play on of my 1600 GOG games . My pile of shame is higher than the Everest.
... and I just remembered I still need to finish the second season of Being a DIK. The first one was great, "Hell week" was just hillarious.

I'm glad that Aleksey at least tries to bring in some adventure elements like item handling into this game, but of course Ren'Py is not the best engine when it comes to task oriented game play (there are specialized adventure engines for that) so I don't expect miracles.

These scene happens if you don't give the bodysuit to Alice. Since you gave it to her, you got another scene. You can unlock it by loading a older savegame (it will remain unlocked, memories are not savegame dependent).

I did not give Alice the bodysuit and this scene will not unlock

This scene unlocks when you spy on Alice/Eric, when he gives her the bodysuit.

Are you that early in the game or did you forget to spy?

I know how to unlock the scene I have spied on Eric I can watch the scene but it WILL NOT UNLOCK

 

[Nemo56]

Oh, I missed that in the post. In that case it's a bug.
If you want to have all scenes unlocked, you can always use the persistent files posted earlier or the one posted in the savegames thread.
(btw, please use spoiler tags if you post large images).

I can't finish the stick or carrot-opportunity. I should be able to watch horror movies with Lisa being topless but whenever I save her from punishment I'm unable to watch movies with her at all. The hint says we have to make it before she goes to bed but that's when she's doing her homework. How can I change that?

Is she already watching movies topless with Max and Olivia on Friday evenings? That's also necessary. She has to get comfortable being topless around Max.

As usual: Don't focus on one opportunity. They are interconnected, progress with a girl happens at the same time in alle her opportunities. These are not separated storylines. Also make sure they stay happy all the time, interact with them, be nice.

I'll take a look at it, have some other filler games to finish off myself. Deleted a few to save space already

She already did 3 times. And the only other unfinished opportunity is mentor which requires progress in stick or carrot.

Try to post your savegame, maybe there's something wrong with it.
I just followed the hints, got Max caught, so he could watch movies with her.

Yeah, that's the catch... I just forgot to get caught. My bad, thanks for your help!

This makes the game more realistic, in real life even if you have a high influence on someone that does not mean they can't say no.

It might be realistic, but reality sucks major balls.

That's what makes this game special compared to others and makes sure the story flow is constant.
In the original the single strains were almost completely separated, that was absolute bollocks.
I only know one other game that is bold enough to do this, that's Photohunt.

I honestly don't get what you mean with story flow. Could you elaborate?

Every script kiddie can do single separated storylines. It becomes more complicated if the progress is event based with multiple dependencies.

Why so? I haven't programmed in Ren'py, but shouldn't it just take an if statement checking if multiple variables were true?

The game would gain nothing from an allowance or instant delivery. ... it's just a problem for those who want everything at once and then complain that the game has no content.

That part isn't about the game gaining something it needs, it's about it losing some bloat it doesn't need.

Also we must disagree in the meaning of 'content'. I don't consider pressing the wait button thrice to see the same screen again be content, to me it's more like an unneeded loading screen between two areas that you must traverse very often. It makes the game take more time, but doesn't actually make it longer

 

[Nemo56]

I honestly don't get what you mean with story flow. Could you elaborate?

What I meant was that someone could hate Max' guts on one path and the same character could have sex with him on another. That does not make sense at all. Lisa would be naked in bed or do anal lessons and be shy when it comes to other situations. That's what you get if you see all opportunities as separated storylines.
To make them interconnected to each other grants a more constant development. Lisa will only be topless while watching movies, if she got more comfortable being around Max in the presence of Olivia. She hearead from Alice that Max is good at giving massages and allows him to try. Alice accidently had her hand on Max' dick when she hid behind him from a spider, sees him a couple of times with something poking out of his pants, so she doesn't completely freak out when her feet touch his dick during the massage.

Why so? I haven't programmed in Ren'py, but shouldn't it just take an if statement checking if multiple variables were true?

Dead ends, the horror of every adventure style game programmer (even more so for the player). Dependencies require more planing and/or workarounds.
If you just put one image after another or only need to wait for the right moment to click something ... that's basics, everyone can do that. About Ren'Py in general ... it's a script engine, and as such very vulnerable to typing errors. I stay the hell away from such languages, I prefer to find my errors before my software gests shipped to the customer (who payed good money for it and hopefully earns a lot more by using it).

That part isn't about the game gaining something it needs, it's about it losing some bloat it doesn't need.

Again ... you don't gain anything. Quite early after the start, money won't be much of a problem. At the beginning it is supposed to be a problem, part of the story even. That's why Max decides to get a loan. From that story telling point of view the game would even lose something, if Max got more money so early in the game.

Did you ever play Monkey Island 2? You should. It's a masterpiece of adventure design. The developers made sure that for every major riddle you had to visit all 4 islands more than once. You could not just focus on finding one piece of the map, that was impossible. You had to look for events and items on each island, talk to characters, find out what to do next. Sometimes you got an item that you had to use for a riddle that was not connected at all to the situation where you got the item.


I would love to see more adult adventures, but for some reason everyone thinks that adult games have to be RPGs with money, stats, influence, relationship, corruption or whatever other bollocks they can come up with.
The other half of the developers makes visual novels where all you need to do is clicking.
Hardly anyone goes the adventure route. One of the few games that do so is House Party. There are stats in the game, but they have no meaning, basically only tell you how far you are in the story (ok, you can fuck up with a girl so she won't talk to you anymore which ends her story). Also FILF and MotH mostly have only informal stats (Moth was rewritten at some point) except for the money.

There are a few purely event base games, BBAS isn't one of them. The sooner one can accept that, the more he can enjoy it.
About that last content statement: What you described is exactly what we would get if we strp away the part of the game where you have to figure out what to do next. That's part of the game, that little adventure element that this game has. If you don't want that, you better 'play' visual novels.

any hint : stick or carrot
"I wonder if Lisa would agree to watch horror movies without her shirt on! She and I have become pretty close, but I don't know how to talk her into it. But it's better to do it on the same day Mom wants to punish her."
"There's not much time. We have to make it before Lisa goes to bed..."

i not see any new options

I had a similar situation going on, where I was stuck with this.

Aside from the topless on friday evenings and the protect from punishment and generel mood and all that. You need to spy on her in the shower in the morning, and get caught, to trigger the "watching movie" part again.

 

[oktabitt]

Hi, in the path of true friendship... Max will Ann with Eric to fuck her with stockings or until this version is not going to happen?

 

[the_fluff]

I don't know if the dev reads these but I'm a bit bitter about how everything is hunky dory after you get rid of Eric. Not even an apology from the girls about immediately turning on Max and not believing him at all over Eric, I had Lisa and Alice at 100% Influence with Max and they immediately turned on him. Also they belittle him a lot so the least they could do was apologize, especially fucking Alice she kept that same fucking attitude or maybe have Max be a bit angry or vengeful about it and takes it out in some way.

Basically I would have liked to see some apologetic dialogue from the girls or at least acknowledgement of their betrayal. It just kind of leaves me bitter towards the girls and makes me want to get back at them which I probably won't be able to do.

Except of course Auntie. Auntie Kira is our Ride or Die Bitch, she knew we didn't do it, Auntie Kira Best Girl. Shoutout to Auntie Kira for being the only one who believed/believes in us. Max gets more motherly warmth from her than from Ann.

[...] You need to spy on her in the shower in the morning, and get caught, to trigger the "watching movie" part again.

I wonder why people keep missing that. That's what the whole event is based on after all. Lisa "forces" Max to watch boring stuff with her for spying on her.
