well, although it's a dom/sub relation ship, i don't buy it (bein into bdsm myself). It's stil VERY light, like a roleplay of a roleplay. I really feel that max could revert the situation or alice let go any time. I don't get why ppl get pissed off.
Now, this update didn't sucked. but there were no real new actions. The thing I expected was more content in the "mom comes up in the lobby when you're getting sucked" part. But ell, maybe in another update.
I think the issue is the "one char focus" system. it focuses on one opportunity and then we feel like there's less content maybe. And also the story doesn't seem to progress at a steady path. The ideal would be to progress everyone at each update but that would lead to less content also.
I think a better solution would be progresing two sidestories at the same time per update (yes that leads to a little more renders to do) so there's "two things to do" instead of one.
The good part i think is the tease implemented in every update now, like "we start this now, but it will continue in the next update" it's pretty good imo.
And finally yes, Ann. I really hope DS understands he cannot postpone the sex infinitely. This needs to happen soon. Or else patrons (and us) will get pissed off and bored etc etc but also the girl progression will become seriously unbalanced and i believe it could create more plotholes because you can do some things with some girls, and mom knows it and accepts it, but you still can't do some things with her etc etc, i hope you guys get me.
So yeah... already waiting for that next update, this path merge sounds promising, but less promising than sex with mom..
