It needs something like a community college path for if she gets scores too low for regular college. It would also add a chance for more interactions with the friends and the dad.

Maybe the verbiage is confusing. You have two best friends, one is a boy (Taylor), the other is a girl (Maddy). You can choose early on who is your 'best' friend, but you have both.
Opening the game to get that quick screenshot, I note that this doesn't seem entirely accurate (at least not in the old online 0.4.1 version, which was the one nearest to hand). Taylor can be either male or female. No idea where Maddy shows up.

Apologies if this has changed since then.

This is the correct info. Not sure where the Maddy thing came from either.

Maddy is the best girl friend if you choose a male best friend (who is the 'leader' of the Boys). If you choose a female best friend, whatever name you have here will be her name and she will appear in lieu of Maddy.

There will always be one guy friend and one girl friend in the Prologue.

Just to follow-up was there any note on if that prom dress is reachable (if its possible to be 'easy enough' to wear it), or is it bugged? Just so I can stop worrying about it?

I'm guessing this is the dress you mean?

If so, then the requirements to enable it aren't anything complicated: MC just needs traits "Risky" and "Easy" to be at 1+

hmm... yea, that dress, but I don't think that's the requirements - I had the MC take just about every risky and easy option and it never becomes available. Is there a specific background it works with?

No, these are literally the requirements:
<<path [[HS002 - PromDate][$HS.promWin --; $HS.promDress = 4; $Stats.Traits['Sophisticated'].base --; $Stats.Skills['Wiles'].base ++]] $Stats.Traits['Risky'].value gt 0 && $Stats.Traits['Easy'].value gt 0>>
<<Doll body dress4 promDress4>>
Rep be damned. Shock'em and ''show'em what I had''. Yeah, I'd have to use something on hand and sneak the //real// dress out of the house and change later, but it was worth it.
<<blocked>>
$CC.name isn't easy enough.
Use the dev console to check what your traits actually are at this point, it's possible some of your other choices countered the value(s) in question.
The "Risky" trait is easiest to raise as a vandal, but it's not required.

oh weird... easy is at 8 (the actual stated requirement) but risky (the hidden req) is at -1.. thought I was taking risky options too. kk, let me play through it again and see if I can tweak a few things for that..

[edit]
Ok, yea, I think I found the bug. The screen where you decide piercings. Any time you click on a piercing it re-runs the code for the page. When you go into that page you will either decrease risk or easiness. So every time you pick a piercing it drops those values lower and lower, into the negatives. So (since I always picked high-piercing characters) I'd leave that page from a value of 2+ to -2 or less for either risk or easiness. Could climb out of that hole with very particular choices... but seems like its easier to just not pick any piercings for this version of the game and then things should play out as expected.

Much thanks!

once the game start you can get pregnant, but what if you already got the pregnancy before game start, can you still get pregnant, or does you still can get pregnant but at a lower rate.

You mean in Act I?

You cannot enter Act I pregnant -- you'll either have an abortion or the child prior to entering Act I.

During the main game (Act I onwards), pregnancy can still occur. It's the same rate as before, just in the Prologue we run all the checks at once across all partners, whereas in Act I+ it's each instance.

When you get pregnant at university, after you got pregnant at highschool, its the exact same text. Its not acknowledging that its the second time you give birth and treating it like your first pregnancy.

please keep the details coming if you check us out again, as we do go back and fix things up constantly based on feedback!!! <3
Unless I'm missing something, the choices for "my first" include "missed choices" that have prereqs that can't be chosen until afterward? (Like an option to be with a DJ who requires you to go clubbing, but it seems like partying/clubbing only happens after that?)

A more concrete example of ongoing continuity errors/choices not appearing to matter: all of the choices for "my first" have the same follow-up interaction of fooling around on the couch at home, not going through with it, etc., and then being "THOSE kids" as one of the options...even for choices like my best friend's dad, who clearly is not a kid at all and very likely wouldn't just be seen in a romantic go-everywhere do-everything-together relationship with one. Seems very strange to have that same scene for someone's dad, a construction worker, or my same-age crush.

Even more concrete example: I go partying, things get wild, cops show up, I hide with the party host's dad. He hides me from the cops in exchange for losing my virginity, okay, sure. And then the next page...

...is me in a police cruiser answering questions about my family after having gotten picked up. Literally directly after having just said I hadn't gotten picked up.

It feels like getting to pick a vague direction for the character's personality and after that it's anyone's guess whether any specific choice within that entire branch will actually be recognized and remembered by the game, much less reflected in the outcomes that follow. Like these examples all came up within ~five minutes of each other in the same run.

While you may not have 'gone clubbing' yet (in your example), you have already made the choice of the paths that you are taking, so no error or issue there.

As far as the screenshots, that's during the vignettes describing the 'extracurriculars' Claire gets up to in her youth. They aren't in direct sequence. The first might be in January and the second in June, who knows. They're just events that paint a picture of things that happen to Claire.

I think there's argument to be made that having this scene right on heels of another scene where MC potentially avoided (or not) getting busted at a party can be confusing to the reader, because there's no indication these two are different events.

Perhaps moving the CC024 - Partier scene at a pool a slot up, so it splits these two cop-related events would help to make it more obvious?

Either that, or each vignette could start with a header indicating it's January, June, or whatever other random month you want to put there. This would make passage of time blatant.

Yeah a bit more spelling out of the what/when/who etc. might be helpful in general. I was a ways into the prologue before I figured out which two names referred to the MC's parents, e.g. (and even then I wasn't entirely sure).

Same goes for having the headmaster as the MC's first boyfriend. I wasn't entirely sure what I expected of that option (maybe the chance for the MC to take a bit of initiative), but it wasn't teenage-style romance.
