[WastedTalent]

I've yet to figure out how to get Penelope to help me during the "List" which I hope will lead to the other hidden "H" scene with Penelope.

I'm stuck with 3 things left to go on the list and can only goto the dining room or living room and the only person around is the sick guy who ate too much candy... so I just closed out not replaying all that... sux they went kinda sandbox mode in an already buggy game with too many routes and points and everything else... smh...

While i'm not disputing the existence of (too many) coding bugs, that scene never had an issue for me.
You're just missing something
You can't finish everything with just any route you're taking with the other characters. Meaning in order to have everything on the list, you'd have to have had the most perfect combinations of relationships and choices with each of those characters. CAN be done - but I wouldn't stress too much if you don't have them all. It's rather unlikely.

For someone who has never played this, would you all recommend checking out Season 1 now (after the most recent update to the OP) or wait until the Steam version releases and is potentially uploaded here?

Disclaimer: I'm one of those plebs that's a bit confused with all the name changes and I am also seeing something about how the end of "Act III" is abrupt b/c it bleeds into "Act IV, Part I", which is technically College Kings 2 (from what I understand), and this will, apparently, be fixed with the Steam release.

I like the fact that the new writer is a female. I would love to see their perspective on the story (so long as it doesn't get too feminist). I feel that many of the women in these games are far too easy, and it would be interesting to have more of a challenge. I little more realism wouldn't hurt in my opinion.

If not for the tone of the characters feeling way different now. I disagree on that basis alone fam. Still the games quality is still up there. Crap coding aside lmao

 

[AsTr]

the game right now is borderline unplayable. i cant even set anyone as a FWB without crashing. i wish we could just use old saves instead of a pathbuilder.

Funny newest content opens with talking about the gay douche... He didn't make you rethink anything?
ME: "Nope fuck that guy I hated his very existence and I'm glad he's dead." too bad that wasn't a dialogue option but whatever lol.

What bothered me was that changed in the new content. I played the older content when they returned and Charli wasn't in it as he returned home EARLIER so they fucked up the new content and had him come home with them. They also changed that dialog a little bit so the MC says that he was thinking about him when originally he wasn't at all. That bugged me. They fucked up. Charli didn't come home at the same time, stick to the story DEVS!

I just reached the end of the original content. Not sure if I even want to TRY version 2 with all the damn bugs it's littered with. I'll probably put playing it on hold and get into some other games I have been meaning to play and hope this bug infested mess gets cleaned up.

I've yet to figure out how to get Penelope to help me during the "List" which I hope will lead to the other hidden "H" scene with Penelope.

I cheated and locked in LOYAL with her and that didn't help, she still wouldn't. I don't think she will to be honest. My LOYAL rating did help get the other girl, Lauren's sister (I forget her name) make out with you.

I pressed SHIFT+O to being up console mode, typed kct=u'loyal' and that done it, at least with the one. Maybe setting it to "popular" would work with Penelope, but then that would probably screw you over with the other one <shrug>. I know loyal also helped with him having sex at the end of the haloween/birthday party with Lauren as well.

Not sure which ones you are stuck on. But you can get a condom from Ryan (sick from candy) when he is laying on the couch, that is one of the tasks. Your stats need to be "loyal" to get some of the others. I managed to get most of them, but can't get them all. I think it's bugged to be honest.

yeah they weren't expecting Charli to be so disliked as far as I can see he wasn't well received so now everything is back tracking or being rewritten. Either way glad he's gone. I won't be back. It's tiresome getting stuck to where you can't complete some meaningless task(s) it would have been so much better as a straight harem vn, but for some reason dev's find these pointless frustrating ways to ruin what could have been good. I'm over it there's plenty of other stuff to check out. That's the nice thing about it no hard feelings dev's but could have been such a great story instead we get some low quality game with major issues. Pretty good story line and overall good artwork but so many routes and different attributes sorry but I don't wanna play the same scenes more than once. So making missable content is a big no thanks.

If you have NEVER played this, than I would skip the latest version, and download and play CollegeKings-15.1.0. It's not as buggy and starts from the very beginning, where as this latest version starts much later. There's A LOT of content in the original to keep you busy, trust me!

I honestly feel the original game with the original code is better than this steaming pile of poop. If version 2 was meant to be less buggy, they failed. I played the first four acts without problems with CollegeKings-15.1.0.

The part that keeps me from recommending that others play the original is that you cannot import your saves. This leaves me baffled. If I could fix one thing about the game it would be that. So if someone plays the original, eventually they will run smack into a dead end and have to fuck around with the broken path builder anyway and more than likely be unable to replicate their save with any accuracy.

Import what saves? The guy has never played the game before, he'll HAVE to play the original to get the whole story. Version 2 starts near the end of the original, when they return back from Europe and the content leading up to going to Europe and Europe itself is huge! So if he never played the game, he'll HAVE to play the original and then wait for the save game ability to be implemented. No real choice in the matter.

Personally, I think they should ditch the new buggy, incompatible, code and version 2 and just put out a patch with the story that happens after 15.1.0. I had zero problems replaying 15.1.0 a few times over, no real bugs that I noticed. Unlike the many crashes with critical exceptions in version 2! Man, I have actually created my own video game, not a visual novel, though I am working on one, but one I programmed from scratch in C that wasn't this buggy. I would replay my own game myself with different conditions to make sure it worked. It did have the odd bug, but they were always obscure where out of the millions of downloads my game got, only one or two people experienced it. I won't say what game it was, except it was a free game I originally made for my late wife. Saying the name will give away my real name.

Sorry for asking this question. But I don't know how to install the 2 lights

 

[staaas]

What about updated walkthrough?

Undergrad steve can take this hot pile of garbage and stick it up his buggy ass.

Thank you for your short, and to the point, response. Much appreciated. That's what I will do then.

This is managed in the advanced options from the Path builder. You can check that you exposed him, then he is not with you when you arrive home

I cheated and locked in LOYAL with her and that didn't help, she still wouldn't. I don't think she will to be honest. My LOYAL rating did help get the other girl, Lauren's sister (I forget her name) make out with you.

I know loyal also helped with him having sex at the end of the haloween/birthday party with Lauren as well.

In my testing, it worked only if you are on her path i.e you won her case, did everything you could while in Europe to help her (that is the "loyal"relationship level), and refused to meet Jenny at the pond so you meet Penelope instead.

BTW, you know that you can use multi-quote right, you do not have to make 7 posts one after each other.
