HTML Blue Swallow [v0.8.5.0] [Blue Swallow]

[Samuel Hidayat]

Unfortunately a continuity error regarding Taylor (first choice for a boyfriend) when she is a girlfriend.
Later in the game, when you can choose the sexual relationships, Taylor is portrayed as a boy.

Likewise Hilary (roommate and girlfriend in college). In the list of relationships she suddenly has a small cock and she destroyed the condom.

Hilory is also mentioned twice in the list and the final sentence is:
A four year spread of spreading led to a tally of 17. That's in addition to my 10.
But only 13 encounters with Hilary appear in the list, so actually only 12, which would mean she had 10 relationships in high school but only 2 in college. This despite the fact that Claire was played as a total slut in this run and used every option for sex.

Error: the passage "gapyear" does not exist

Damn, the pronouns issue is still there?

I had the highest athletics I could find, and still lost most everything but districts. I wonder if that flag was bugged for me?

Also, I didn't have the choice of not going on Spring Break. Nor could I refuse to drink. As the game went on, I noticed many of the choices had but one or two options available to me when before there had been at least three, and usually more.

Then came the screens where instead of the name that should have gone there, it was just a space. It took me a minute to realize that the name was missing. I thought I just wasn't reading the sentences right. I'm not sure when that started. But I'm assuming something went wrong in my playthrough. I'll start another one and see if it happens again.

despite being a HTML game it quite good, that said games like these are infuriating because simply put we don't know how much content we are missing, while some have talked about having the numeric values displaid and the like, wich i'm actually againts, there should either be a guide or a sort of "here are the things/personalities yuo can have" because i'm here trying to build a spoiled bitch for a character, and i't not even sure if that something that possible

So finally got the College Cheerleading Team. Are there stat driven things for that? I basically got to stay in a cheap hotel and took a shower. Wondering if there was more to that. For a porn game I was expecting more from staying in the hotel with the team. Or at least some kind of social benefit, since it’s implied if you don’t make the team

For districts: your chance to win is based, initially, on your Athletics coming into the story arc. Then you potentially get a +1 bonus if you care about the competition and focus on training, +2 if you give up partying all together.

The difficulty (Ava) is a random number between 1 and 5.

So, if you come into the Sports arc with a Athletics of 3 and care about the competition and avoid partying, there's no way to lose. Otherwise, even with a Athletics of 0, there's better than a 50% chance to win districts simply by caring and not partying.
----

We've never removed options, so either you didn't hit the previous gates, or there were always that number of options.

And you can't choose not to drink, you just have to win at beer pong. Or not go on Spring Break.

Whenever a BLANK happens, that's likely because you didn't fill in a field for a name. This happens only in a couple places, but most notably your female and male friends in High School. Otherwise, we'd need a save.

Ha. There's a LOT of variations to that motel sequence. Surprised you only found the 'took a shower' option.

As far as the college cheer team, it's definitely stat driven and I believe the requirements were either posted earlier or in the Discord, so they've been illuminated.

And, there are absolutely stat bonuses for making the team.

 

[Fictionary]

There's no cute quickfix here.
I promise it gets better with every patch.
If you notice, the issues are now found further and further in the story.
But yes, on-going.

One of the (actually few) things that bothered me was how some choices didn't reflect later when they would be really relevant.
Picking "ability to fuck" for the dad didn't affect sex with him, the first time is still disappointing for her and the following times also don't seem to be noteworthy (although now that I looked again those first-time options are mostly the same). The scene where Jake walks into Claire's room while she's naked could also use a variant for when they're fucking. I hope that choosing "his ability to fuck", "she believed his promise" (about how the mom got pregnant) and "I always considered him an abusive prick" will have more effects with Jake in the future.

What are some of the things that affect it? It was pretty hard making the squad, and I don't know what other choices I could have made and still made the squad.

During the origin story there's a line reading "La petit mort du petit Le Carré." which is very confusing but not as funny as "ma petit choux-fleur" (the feminine of "petit" is "petite"). Who or what are we even talking about here?

There aren't a lot of options for the moment of conception, there's no "on all fours" or anything more kinky like BDSM.

Some things you don't have much control over, you can pick who was your first and anyone else you did the deed with but no control over how or when. Hex, with broken family and foster home backgrounds it could even be non-consensual (not that it can't happen in other situations too), and the game isn't lacking in authority figures. It's particularly weird when you make your dad "an abuse prick" but somehow you have a mostly normal relationship if you date.

I haven't seen many options to turn situations one way or another, as far as power play goes. There are various kinks the MC can be into but I haven't seen it influence her sex life much besides how promiscuous she is.

Think right now the game lacks a lot of consistency with the backstory and could use a lot more options to both flesh out the character more and have choices that feel more consistent. Right now it's very easy to be all over the place.
For example even if your mom is only "cute" and your dad "gross" things don't seem much different from being a top model.

More on that later.

More on that later.

«la petite mort» is an expression synonym to «orgasm» (note: should read petite, feminine)

And, should be «Mon petit chou-fleur» (masculine, even when used to address a woman, as chou-fleur is masculine)

 

[Sammie]

Oh, I did get this error on the cheerleading path, is that what's wrong?



Error: <<if>>: bad conditional expression in <<if>> clause: State.variables.Stats.Traits is not a function

Correct. Because it's an origin story, a prologue and not meant to be an entirely fleshed out story in its own right. And, every variation that would be fleshed out would add a factor of writing comparable to what's already there (example: adding BDSM to all sex scenes would require writing whole new variations to each of them).

The prologue is designed to be exactly that: a backstory. A set of memories and notable choices and events that happen to our protagonist that make her who she is...for the actual story which begins in Act I.

«la petite mort» is an expression synonym to «orgasm» (note: should read petite, feminine)

And, should be «Mon petit chou-fleur» (masculine, even when used to address a woman, as chou-fleur is masculine)

Weird. A French person early on told me it should have been petit not petite. I don't speak French, so I took their word for it. *shrug*

petite with mort; petit with chou-fleur and Le Carré. It all depends on the grammatical gender of the noun that the adjective qualifies

 

[Emperor_Arcturus]

I'm curious, does Ava ever show up again after graduation/high school or no? I kinda hope she does honestly

 

[kunIOIOIOIOIO]

finally figured out how to date the principal - yk when it says what do you love about school and itll show boys, learning, etc. well from my 2 saves that if you choose teacher its a higher chance of showing

 

[Sammie]

so I checked and the error shows up in Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

Yeah, I am pretty sure it is just bugged in ways that CassieBear doesn't understand. I had the same problems as you. I was unable to skip spring break, unable to refuse to drink, had no way of avoiding the rape, and got the blank name because I hadn't slept with anyone.

 

[bound2patience]

Okay, the joke in the game's code was pretty funny.

 

[PeanutGallery]

What determines "Positively by some stats (your Easy, Risky, Excitable, Suggestible scores)"? Especially "easy" and "excitable leave me wondering

Clare has a large number of attributes, or scores, and most of them are broken down into one of two categories: Traits and Skills. Skills represent things that Clare has learned to do, like being sneaky, lying, seeing through somebody else's lies, and things like that. Traits are a representation of different personality traits. Both Traits and Skills start at 0, but Skills mostly just go up over time while Traits are more of a sliding spectrum.

These attributes are affected by the choices she makes and also dictate what Claire does. This game has a lot of "silent branches" where the game will internally check an attribute's value and present a different path without the player even being aware of it happening.

I did not notice the "how you feel about sex" crossroads?

Sorry, poor wording on my part. If you pick that she's holding on to her virginity it will override most of the other background body count raising options, and there's an option to pick how promiscuous she is at the end of high school.

How does "where you grew up " affect the sluttiness / count of guys she's had sex / teachers being among her lovers?

Where you grow up affects the vignettes you have available. You can't crash a nightclub in high school if you're living in a rural own with no nightclub. This isn't to say you can't find other people to have sex with, only that some options will be unavailable. What your home life is like has a much larger impact, because it provides some initial adjustments to her stability values that can quickly snowball.

I think teachers being in her list of lovers is RNG, but I can check later - you can just sleep with enough people to make it highly likely that one will be an option.

Still quite a lot of the stuff discussed here does not get noticed by me in my playthroughs. E.g. I never encountered sororities.

Sororities only come up if you attend college and go through rush week to join them.

Ha. There's a LOT of variations to that motel sequence. Surprised you only found the 'took a shower' option.

There's a bug in one of the conditional evaluations during this scene that results in it falling through to the "take a shower" default, I believe.
