So you're saying that if I don't have the hidden points (Which I couldn't have known about before the walkthrough was out), I can't confess my love to Joan? And there is no way to get the points when the events are completed?
Great I can delete my game or play again .. wohooo
This is my latest save... Got everything except for the confession event because I didn't get those hidden points.. shitty concept...
Right now you're missing only a small event where you confess your feelings for her. So not a big deal. In future updates there will be more opportunities to gain these hidden points.
By the way they are used in most natural way I thought of. You either like the situations when she get's intimate with you or you don't. For example when she holds your hand or when you admire her figure.
I tried to create natural transition from normal sibling relationship to a romantic one. Most other games I've played jumps right at it. There are games with ridiculous reasons why relatives have incest relationships Blackmail, rape, simple quid pro quo situations. Magic - I hate games in real life settings with magic, that's like the cheapest way to force a character to have sex with you.
Then we have games that tries to do it like me. Slow believable progression from meeting to dating and finally having sex. They introduce you to various characters and allow you to pursue any or none of these characters. Some games does better job than mine and some does worse.
So at the very beginning I've decided to start at the most common place with MC and Joan. They are just brother and sister, nothing more nothing less. And through interacting with her you get to know her and decide if she's more then a sister. Maybe a good friend? Maybe something more? And you actually have to pursue this situations and make the right decisions to start something more. Is that believable? I don't know, but I think so.
And if you missed a decision or two that goes the "right" way, then good for you. You've probably seen an image or read a line that very few people had, because everyone wants to pick the "right" choice. But I've created all the other options for a reason, to give you a sense of choice. And at some situations not just a sense. Did you know that if you fail the first date with Jessica that she will not want to see you again? Or if you're jerk to Kara on the first day, that you would have to apologize to continue the relation? Or with Joan, if you can't convince her to keep her swimsuit after the event with her and Kim in the tub she will go and buy a new more modest one?
Some of these choices are real and you'll be rewarded for the best one and sometimes punished for the worst one. So I guess this is the point I'm trying to make here. Failing to pick the right choice in this game doesn't mean the end. You just have to find another oportunity to move forward. Sometimes you might have to wait an update or two for the oportunity to arise (I can't implement everything in one month) and maybe you'll see something nobody else have seen, because the never dared to choose the other option.
Sorry for the long text, sometimes I have a lot to say. And sometimes I say a lot, yet it means nothing at all.
