Yep I agree completely. The writing has been pretty subpar with her. I'll be curious to see what he does. If he doesn't write a solo ending for her then I'm not sure why he ever elevated her back in the day as it will ultimately just look like he baited and switched people who wanted her as an LI and I'd like to believe he wouldn't do that to his customers. We'll see how things end up.
There's only so many romances you can shoehorn into the plot. For a good few chapters I've felt like the cast is way too big now and it kinda takes away from the ,"us against the world" plot element. Obviously that's just my opinion.

For those who want to known which is the new music in City of Broken Dreamers at the end of Chapter 13. Here you go. And you are welcome:
Ya I downloaded that the same night I played the game - very good song.

I think there was plenty of room for her, personally, but as you said, it's just our individual opinions on things. With Ch13 she still ended up there working with them to help out with Ellen's show, so clearly Philly was willing to involve her, but I think the way he's gone about handling her in the overarching plot could have been done far better.

It's sad to see the game that was once meant to set a new high for the genre to become an above-average glorified porn flick. There's no point anymore in arguing about what could've been done better in terms of story, characters and relationships' development (and ename144 would do it a thousand times better than me anyway). Now I just want Philly to put CoBD out of its misery as soon as possible and, maybe, try to get a proper game plan designed from start to end for his next project -and stick to it. Or just get some better consultants. Something. It's just too much wasted potential right here. Oh well

As much as I appreciate this game I think it's time to close up this story. This update felt like just a vignette of sex scenes, probably some of the highest quality ones you can find in adult games but given the immense narrative quality we've come to expect from Philly games this almost feels like a waste. I'm excited to see what the Dev can do next with a completely new IP.

By her being an official LI in the game. If she was just a non-serious side girl she would not have been elevated to LI much earlier in the game's development.

And no, the scene with Abby doesn't make a lick of sense. When Philly gave the player options earlier in the game on whether to do things with Abby, that was the indication that she was not a mandatory part of Chandra's romance route since the player could already opt out of Abby and still do things with Chandra solo. There should have been an option here to opt out of Abby but still do things with Chandra, particularly if the player had opted out of Abby at previous points in the game.
I'm pretty sure the only main LI's at this point are the ones we were able to chose in the previous chapter which would be Katie, Victoria, Ellen and Gloria.

Haven't played newest yet, so can't commet on the disappointment people are feeling, but regarding the new IP, I have said before I hoped for something out of this world (literally and figuratively) or at least a different time period. I was sad to learn the next one will be in same setting. As much as I enjoy cyberpunk settings, I prefer when a dev completely switches genres after completing a project. If for no other reason then to refresh the mind and take chances on new things instead of remaining stale with the old.
The DA to CoBD was a slight change, but both still have that noir feel (classic film noir vs tech noir). I would vote for sci-fi or historical or maybe a horror.

If you see them in the Info tab, they are considered main LIs. This is what people were talking about in the thread earlier regarding Philly deciding to elevate Chandra way back around Ch3 when the game was being developed. She was originally supposed to be a side girl only (like Shanlon, Sasha, etc.) but she was so popular with the community that he elevated her to an official LI, which is why her points are tracked in the tab, etc. As some others noted there were some LIs in Depraved Awakening that got endings but were somewhat uncertain up until that point - this could be the case with Chandra, but really, who knows, time will tell.

This game has been losing my interest for a while so I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I don't care to play the final update now. The story has become 2nd to the sex scenes. Which is very disappointing of one of the biggest (and still best) devs out there.

I believe Philly has a writer (or at least used to?) but he probably needs to plan the story better in his next game. This one got lost in the woods along the way.

BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE TRANSLATION

VERSION 1.13.1(PC)
*** UPDATED POST DATE: 2023-FEBRUARY-26***

=============================================================================
(Portuguese)

Estou deixando aqui disponível uma versão PARCIALMENTE traduzida de The City Of Broken Dreamers. Esta é uma versão utilizável e funcional, com a maioria dos scripts traduzidos, mas com alguns erros de gramática(feitos por programas de tradução, não manualmente). Alguns erros de tradução também existem nos scripts, devidos as correções das versões anteriores do jogo feitas por Philly Games. Eu estou ciente destes erros e tenho a intenção de resolvê-los.

Esteja ciente de que esta é uma versão de tradução para aqueles que estão usando a minha tradução, possam continuar jogando o capítulo 13. Esta tradução está traduzida apenas até o capítulo 12, sendo que o capítulo 13 está em inglês e eu ainda estou trabalhando isso...

Para instalar a minha tradução é bem simples. Basta baixar os três pacotes, extrair(winrar ira extrair os três pacotes automaticamente) e enviar a pasta "game" de ambos para o diretório BrokenDreamers 1.13. Eu tive que dividir a tradução em três pacotes devido as limitações de armazenamento do F95 Zone.

Divirta-se!

PS: Se encontrarem qualquer problema relacionado a tradução, me avisem para que eu possa corrigir!

=============================================================================
(English)

I am making available here a PARTIALLY translated version of The City Of Broken Dreamers. This is a useful and working version, with most of the scripts translated, but with some grammar mistakes (made by translation programs, not manually). Some translation errors also exist in the scripts, due to corrections from previous versions of the game made by Philly Games. I am aware of these errors and intend to resolve them.

Be aware that this is a translation version so those who are using my translation can continue playing chapter 13. This translation is only translated up to chapter 12, and chapter 13 is in English and I'm still working on it ...

To install my translation is very simple. Just download the three packages, extract (winrar will extract the three packages automatically) and send the "game" folder of both to the BrokenDreamers 1.13 directory. I had to split the translation into three packages due to F95 Zone's storage limitation.

Have fun!

PS: If you find any problems related to the translation, let me know so I can fix it!
Se eu baixar a tradução e utilizar um mod de walkthrough, vai bugar?

Is it just me or is the Gloria scene in this chapter a bit disjointed. You go for her ass almost directly, no prelude and she's fine with it, there are unused images of some teasing that was probably not finished and I might be seeing things but I think the MC is fisting her during the deepthroat?
I don't mind but it all seems a bit... rushed

Even Chandra needed more time...Was that scene rushed? Yes, but the game is almost end and we can't afford to wait for several chapters.

But let's see Gloria can kill you with one hit and I think she can take a dick in her ass really easy

Depend on the mod you are trying to use. My translation is compatible with the original script from the game. If your mod is compatible with the original script, then it is compatible with my translation too.

Haven't played in a while, seeing how this chapter feels short reading your comments, I think I'll just wait till the game finishes, and just binge it I guess.
