I really hope it's the latter.
I'm perfectly fine with how the story currently goes. At least there are some meaningful conflicts between main characters. Not just some random guy saying some passive-aggressive shit to pull out dramas.
Replacing a lead writer means potential changes in narrative and yet another change of personality in multiple characters, which is something this game has been suffering from *Chuckle*
My guess is that they have decided to divide the job that the current lead writer has. She's currently the Lead Writer, Lead Editor and Plot Designer.

Writing looks pretty bad, MC looks like a pipsqueak, game has pedestrian reviews but damn that redhead looks hot...

...good character models for the gals really blind me to the general shitness of other facets of games.

"Any comparisons to this game will be removed".

Yeah. That'll be a "no" from me dawg. Can't take criticism even if it's warranted.

Yeah, the bigger the game gets and the more story paths, the more bugs and problems. Act IV had so many problems, especially with saves, that this was proberbly the only way to fix it.
A lot of people don't realize just how hard it is to make a game like this and release new content often.
well

if they would stick to the choices made at act1+2...
it all got obsolete at act3/4 and this europe trip

forced crap with people you have avoided at all costs before this trip
that brainmelting story around this gay idiot ...
that pointless treasure hunt ...
this emily thing - at the start you choose to be with her or drop her
if you drop her , why is she acting like they still a thing?
(the park scene for example)
etc
wonder how this election campaign will roll out further
i mean i choose to help chloe and still get annoyed with lindsey,
like the mc was her lover , but my mc couldnt be more far away from that


my guess is , the writer team changed , and they took a other direction with ignoring the story/choices before

this was one of the greatest games out here until act3 .. sad ..

Since Act IV and forwards will now be its own thing, is there a download link somewhere for act 1 to 3, so College Kings 1 essentially?

The writing is done as you go, which destroys consistency.

What's going on with Emily is ridiculous. They don't know what to do with her anymore, so they send her away.


We have the impression that the game follows a single road, and we just have dialogues or small scenes that are different or additional according to our choices.

This has the effect of making a lot of totally ridiculous moments:

- you can't choose who to invite to the concert

- you are "officially" in a relationship with Chloe, Lindsey still asks you for help against her, and you can accept...

Apart from the sex scenes according to your choices (you choose who you fuck), and possibly the scenes relating to the two fraternities, the course of the story remains on the same tracks each time.

The same happens in other college games with an extensive cast. No matter what you pick at some points the games force some plot related stuff on you. I would be happy just exploring all kind of kinks with Chloe but the game is not only about her.

What's up with the green text in the upper left corner of the game? Super distracting, is it possible to remove it?

It vanishes eventually. That is showing the current filename and line number it is executing code on. I actually used it a few times to look some things up that was happening. It's a debug mode of some sort. I want to look into how that was enabled as I found it VERY useful.

In your example, that is from the file "game\v1\v1.rpy" line 84 which (checks file) is the part that prompts you for your character's name. If all your files are in an RPA, you can extract them, I always do and then delete the RPA as the game will still run with the source RPY files, and you can reprogram them (they will automatically compile at runtime)... if you can program that is.

I'm not savvy enough to do any of that, but as long as it goes away eventually I guess that answers my question, thank you.

If I can figure out an easy way to disable it, I'll post something in here. I'm curious anyhow. Should be able to create a simple patch once I do.

Okay, that didn't take long! LOL... I created a simple patch that disables that display. Just download the zip (7z) file I have attached to this and unzip it into your game folder (zzz_patch.rpyc should end up inside your game folder) and you won't be bothered by that again. It's a very simple patch, won't negatively effect your game, it just disables developer mode.

Anytime. I'm glad you mentioned the problem. I figured out what was happening and used this to help me in debugging my own game, VERY handy to know the exact spot in the source code a problem resides. I made certain to disable it in my own code when done coding though. ;)

If they are really making a part 2, I hope they take into consideration that a lot of people really complained about MC height (almost a manlet, some girls taller than him) and his dick size (average, but in porn people want to see bigger tha average dicks). They can change all that and the game will be better for it.
