HTML Blue Swallow [v0.10 Public] [Blue Swallow]

Choosing "lesbian" in the RPG prologue is completely meaningless, right?

Basically all the options I get for the first relationship are males, then there's Ava whose pronoun changes from "they" to "he" to "she" in the span of a few lines (and I'm still forced into a relationship with a boy named Petey), and Taylor who, again, the game isn't sure if using "she" or "they".

After that Claire still daydreams about her male tutor, at college she flirts with guys without even giving me any choice about it, whenever she thinks about sex it's always about boys and some apparently harmless choice still leads her to randomly have sex with a guy.

It's something that's been mentioned many, many times over.

The game is focused on MF interactions.

That being said, we are constantly trying to improve the Prologue and existing content so that choices feel more meaningful and consistent. A year ago there was almost no lesbian content whatsoever.

As far as the color of being a lesbian, it is one of a few aspects of consistency that are still outstanding: Family structure (adopted, attitude of father, etc), Meaningful first love...I'm sure there are one or two more, but those are the ones that come to mind.

There's absolutely something 'hot'/interesting/worthwhile to include in a lesbian Claire who has to subject herself to men to save the world and her mom, so it's not something that will be abandoned.

Unfortunately, I'm one person and there's only so many hours in a dev cycle to focus on continuation of new content and improvement of existing content.

I appreciate this is a desire for some of our fan base / potential fan base and it will find its way into our road map. I just can't say whether it will be in drips-drabs and piece meal or if it will be a focus of a dev cycle. It could be either!

Our current dev cycle (0.9) has been massive integration of art (HD and passage art), increased physical customization of our protagonist, completion of Gap Year options and reaching the first Big Event in Act I.

Our next dev cycle (0.10) will be focused on character consistency, but primarily in the form of Personality (slut/normal/prude). How would certain Claire's react to given situations. It strikes me as there will be some look to sexuality consistency as well, but nothing hard-set in the plan yet. Depends on how much work the rest of it takes.

We really appreciate these comments and are endeavoring to make every choice meaningful, though some will absolutely be more important than others. That's just the nature of CYOA. Some are more for your head canon than for the written plot.

Thank you for your answer. Yeah, I imagine that working "backwards" in regards to adding lesbian content in the Prologue must be a nightmare for consistency.

There's absolutely something 'hot'/interesting/worthwhile to include in a lesbian Claire who has to subject herself to men to save the world and her mom, so it's not something that will be abandoned.

Exactly. Personally, my dream scenario would be to be able to fully be a lesbian in HS/College and then having the "thrill" of a spy part where she would like to avoid having sexual contact with men but then begrudgingly consent to it for the greater good (a quite different flavor than a virgin/timid/prude straight woman).
Patiently hoping I'll be able to see it one day, cheers

My only problem is the name. Petey?
Who would date someone going by Petey?

How do you get on the pathway that goes to the African tribe?

After school choose "Gap year" then be volunteer for Africa.

I’m having a difficult time with progression in Act 1.

1. How exactly do you progress from bartender to dancer to whore?

2. How do you get selected for “the big event”?

3. How do you “give in” for the Dancer scene with the picture of the 4 wolves? The tooltip says Claire is either too sophisticated or “too resistant to men’s approach.” Sophistication is 0 so I’m assuming it’s whatever the second one is supposed to mean.

4. Even if I get selected for the big event, when I select “The night I had been waiting for was here” as my mission, I just get a blank white page afterward. Is this a bug?

5. Recent updates talk about paths with Angelo or Nate infiltrating the big event. How do I unlock those?

6. How do i unlock the back room?

Hey there! If you're a supporter, the best way to get these answers is our Discord. But here we go:

1. You cannot progress from bartender to whore currently, just the one jump. You also could just start as a dancer or as a whore.
2. Do well in your job! (based on the code I've written, it should be pretty easy)
3. It requires Sophistication to be under 2 and her maleReaction to be over 1 -- the latter is achieved in the Prologue based on how she perceives and reacts to male attention and approaches. There are a couple moments through the Prologue that can nudge it one way or the other, but its essentially a single passage that determines it.
4. That sounds like a bug. There is a single code trigger so it's either false and you get one batch of content, or its true and you get the other. Please post a save in the bug-extermination Discord channel so we can check it out.
5. Those require *not* working for the Club and enough time passing. It allows Claire to be a spy without direct Club infiltration.
6. You need to have noticed the back door and learned a piece of the code to the keypad. There's currently only one way to get this information, but there will be more opportunities in the future content paths.

Ah yiss, pregnancy tag!

Good luck!

where is that flowchart from?

 

[Lord Ja'aM of Roland]

where is that flowchart from?

Just don't use birth control and have a ton of sex
(Important note: getting pregnant after the prologue starts a game over timer)

How to get jake as a partner all it says is must be hurt?

Requires having a shitty dad. That's a choice during the Prologue

0.9.4.1 Release

We were hoping to have a confirmation that all the fixes allow access to the current content but our playtesters must have been busy. That being the case, we've decided to release the hotfix (hopefully with everything working!) to all supporters, Origin+. This version includes the massive amount of bug and content fixes as well as the new additions to art that were going to go into 0.9.5, but we figured, eh why not!

In the meantime, I've continued working on the Big Event and the myriad paths and opportunities it holds.

We've got a fire Blue Swallow theme song that may get added into the 0.9.5 release. The way I view it, the underscoring will be used in the very beginning of the game and at important junctures, while the lyrical verse and refrain will be parsed out at different places in the game (like the intro to Act I).

Noice is working on a creampie gif that will be used for when those events happen in game. This will be the first of these type of gifs that will be made to add some eye candy for our sex scenes. There will be one for different positions, types of sex, etc.

Enjoy!

I'm so bad at playing games with lots of text because my eyes tend to skip over so much stuff but I also really wanna play because I find games like this and Female Agent pretty hot.

I should start reading books...

How do I get the long distance option with Ava?

Pregnancy is very tricky, especially in a game like this. It can very easily turn into an annoying, game-over-try-again situation. So far, I feel like it is done well. We will need to wait and see how it evolves moving forward.

 

[CassieBare]

How do I get the long distance option with Ava?

You have to be dating her from High School, avoid cheating and decide to keep the relationship at the end of school.

Can you release a guide on this? I've tried too many times, all with shitty father and never gotten it. Had him present, had him gone, had the MC given up for adoption, raised by foster, raised by grandparents, picked multiple slutty options, everything I could to get this to happen and it doesn't. Hell I even picked Alabama as the starting state in case that gave me some hidden bonus points towards it. At this point it feels like a 1/100000 specific secret path and I'm too frustrated to even enjoy this.

Try these options.

It gave me these choices at the end.


Didn't like that route though. And Petey seems to come out of nowhere for story reasons but the few times he is talked about feels like it's a bug instead of it feeling natural.

Petey is for any 'non-viable' first relationship. He's the cover boyfriend for whoever Claire is truly with.

For Ava, you have to like girls.
