In the same place of your money :ROFLMAO:
First,That sentence doesn't mean anything.
Second,The compressed version is the main game that got compressed so usually when we get the compressed version,the main game has been shared before that point.
Third,I really don't have time to argue further about this simple point with people on the internet so you know what,You are absolutely right about this(y).

Where was the option not to do that so they wouldn't break up?

(y) Main/side girl is just a technical term. What matters is if the girl is just a slut or her and the mc being together is realistic which it is 'cause Bianca is LI material not (just) because of her looks.


Was it metioned when this project started that only Jaye/Mallory would have endings? If so, that info should've been put in the OP.

It's not about what I want, it's about what's realistic. Because rejecting/being rejected by all other girls besides Jaye/Mallory is not realistic. Not to mention that it happens at the end of the game too. Lisa for example should've told Alex that they would never be together instead of dragging him to that storage room and leading him to think it might lead to something. During the phone call in the previous chapter it looked like their relationship would progress not end...

In other games I always pick the main girl because yeah side girls don't have endings, but that's because usually they are nothing more than a one-time thing or they just want to "have some fun". Definitely not the case with Lisa or Bianca.
It doesn't need to be mentioned in the OP who is a main girl and who is a side girl, and who will have an ending and who will not. What other games have you seen that on? And you talk about realism - how would it be realistic for a girl to have some fun with a guy and then say to him "Sorry, we're not going to be together because my crystal ball says you're going to end up with another girl instead"?

You're clearly bitter that the side girls you like didn't get full endings, but that's on you for having expectations that were never likely to be met. There's nothing in the way the story went that gave any sort of guarantee that anyone other than Jaye and Mallory would get a full ending. Saying there is something in the story that suggests otherwise is just you fooling yourself.

(No further responses from me on this particular topic, to avoid being dragged too far outside of forum rules (y) )

Yes I got that :ROFLMAO:
But he usually compresses the game after it was shared here,that's why I asked.
I guess the full-fat version goes to a central place where the uploaders and compressors have access to it, and SoL is just quicker off the mark in compressing and reuploading than the uploaders are in doing their checks and re-uploading. Most of the time games I follow have had SoL post compressed versions recently, they have been posted before the full-fat version is updated to the game thread.

Yep,That's what I was guessing as well.

Devs should mention (anywhere) who will have endings so people won't waste playthroughs.

how would it be realistic for a girl to have some fun with a guy and then say to him "Sorry, we're not going to be together because my crystal ball says you're going to end up with another girl instead"?
Well if the girl is "just looking to have some fun" she and the mc won't be together in the first place.

You're clearly bitter that the side girls you like didn't get full endings, but that's on you for having expectations that were never likely to be met. There's nothing in the way the story went that gave any sort of guarantee that anyone other than Jaye and Mallory would get a full ending. Saying there is something in the story that suggests otherwise is just you fooling yourself.
Not exactly. I wanted an ending with Lisa but after I found out she'll be a LI in devs' next game, it doesn't matter anymore. As for my expectations: I obviously don't expect an ending with that driver/bartender or that girl the mc slept with abroad, but the mc was closer to Lisa and Bianca and from what I've seen in-game I definitely expected an ending with them. Especially with Lisa after the phone call in the previous episode where she says something like she's ready to move on and the mc might be the guy she's looking for. But the mc decided on his own to end that. That's what bothers me. The lack of choice.

I get it but I had to reply.

Only started to get the save in, but from the description from before it's totally in love with Jaye, friends with Mallory but she wants more. Have a few other games to go through first (been a few lately.)

Nope. Nobody should get spoiled against their will. Many players don't want to know the end before starting a game. Anyway, when the chapter endings with the Jaye & Mallory status screen and the point bar in the game doesn't gave you the hint, no one can.

He probably starts reading a book in the last chapter......

So, I played this game too. After reading the comments, if I understand correctly, the main problem with the game is that the endings are not equal in content, and in some cases last only five minutes. I can understand that. But it also shows that the authors have created very memorable characters, and fans are ready to tear them apart for the injustice done to them.

As for the episode: I went through the poly ending and am quite happy with what I got. I also really liked the references and jokes about other novels (yes, I'm talking about you, Artemis and Acting Lessons). So for me, it's a worthy and powerful ending to a good novel. Few games in this genre make it to the end, so I'm very happy that this one did. I look forward to new successes and games from the team — they are great.

And considering that the game loves references to Mass Effect: “It's been a good ride.”

There was never any plans for endings other than with Jaye and/or Mallory. This has been literally since the beginning, nothing has changed.
Let's not forget that the dev's themselves listed Lisa as having an "ending", when Lisa herself is a sidegirl, same with Amanda. They are listed there alongside Jaye and Mallory. So that disproves that side girls have never mattered in this VN.

While this announcement will remain spoiler-free (minus the teaser images) I will take a moment to give players an idea of what to expect in the final chapter.

Don't read it then.

Funny what can I say...But here's an example since you don't seem to get it: another dev stopped saying who's a LI and who isn't with girls being added throughout new episodes. Without knowing, I would either need to start a save for each girl in the game which is annoying or pick 1 and hope there will be an ending with her especially after how the mc in CS seems to have handled Lisa's path. Path that was a lie basically because it's the single path apparently.
