In an attempt to bring the forum back to game discussion, Torimiata what would you say are your top 3 favorite scenes in the remake (Either released already or in future updates)?
I'm curious which scenes didn't match your vision in the original version of the game, but you are happy with now

I could probably talk about that all day :ROFLMAO:

I know it's more verbose and hopefully I'll find places to cut some bits here and there but I would say the script is much better in general - for anyone that enjoys slow-burns that is.

I barely had character backgrounds planned in the OG. The structure was also all over the place.

Even the recent backstory flashback with Ayumi at the bus stop is a pretty cool one for me. In the original, it barely touched on their history together. It just stated they were friends.

I think that being able to show that vulnerable moment with her mom's illness and how their first kiss came to be gives so much more weight to their relationship.

I also love the atmosphere of that type of scene. The whole shift from overcast to rain to sunshine. Super trope-ish but little symbolic touches make me happy (that probably go unnoticed but who cares...)

I like the OG for many things but I genuinely think people have rose-tinted glasses. An obvious example to me is the bukkake imagination scene at the end of Day 2. The scene came out exactly how I wanted in the remake and putting that scene side-by-side is a clear reminder of the difference in quality. Maybe it hits differently if you already expect it but you have to also consider first-time players.

My actual favorite scenes are all coming in Act 2 though. Everything now is building foundation for when things really start heating up.

I do think the script on the pool HJ scene is already much stronger in the remake and I'm really looking forward towards the outfit room.

this "act" thing is meaningless without context.
Depends on how many acts are planned, but a three-act structure breaks a story up into generalized segments:

Act 1 (Setup)
Act 2 (Confrontation)
Act 3 (Resolution)

For this story, I'm guessing it will be the escalation phase when MC and Ayumi have fully established relationships with the other bulls/unicorns during Act 1 and start turning their more adventurous fantasies into experiences. It has been mentioned that some new kinks will be introduced at that time. Then, assuming a three-act story structure, a major event or conflict driver leads to a climax at the end of Act 2 which is resolved in Act 3.

thank you, i know that's what acts mean in a generic writing context. torimiata loves to use arbitrary units of measure (acts, "key CGs", "almost done") because it helps obfuscate progress.

did the pre-remake game make it to act 2? how far into act 1 was it?

again, without this information, talking about acts is completely useless (which i suspect is the point, its a way to make it seem like there is a grand plan unfolding instead of just a guy bullshitting)

It made it up to the pool scene, where she's modelling for Terrance and the MC. And ends up looking at terrance's full pp.

Pre-remake was still establishing characters, so I'd say we were in Act 1. Storyboarding isn't uncommon and usually groups events along an arc that's broken up into Acts; for all intents and purposes it means "sometime in the future."

Is this where I can finally announce the ReMake 2.0?
I've been very critical about some of the remake's changes, but that bus stop flashback is one of my favorite scenes from both builds. Hope more of those flashbacks are planned, I feel like they'll be a good way to refresh the palate and character build between depravity without affecting the current timeline awkwardly.

0.5.31 was released for platinum (15$) subscribers and was leaked here. So if you subscribed for a lesser tier (5$) it wouldn't be available yet on patreon.

I am so lost on the nebulous nature of this website lol. Torimata posts updates here but also leaks get posted here so when that happens the dev just has to throw his hands up and say "fuck it, i'll post it myself"?

Great job for the update.I like the game better in its newest form with the additional scenes,while the previous one was also fine and i loved it,this time the backgrounds are a lot better looking and detailed and so are the characters imo.The only thing that seems a little weird to me are the kissing scenes because their eyes are open.The bus stop scene was top notch imo for immersion and Ayumi looked fine <3 and i also liked the writing in their conversation after that.
