Since the beginning that i can't trust any of the crew so i didn't choose any romantic path with them . I thought maybe outsiders that didn't work for the government are safe so i went with Dizzie / Rose path but

It seems we can't escape the dinner with Dizzy, which I refused in the first meeting scene, but Dizzy Character still called and they went to dinner. Is there a way not to go to dinner? (sorry for bad english).
It seems at the moment we can't escape Dizzy for she is a suspected spy and under investigation.

i am dissapointed how the game handles the dizzy part

that damn girl is unavoidable ...and i dont get the reason

it seem with every update the mc has fewer choices how to interact with whom

kissing asses everywhere ...
Hey Dizzy / Rose is actually the best girl so far , anyone else is suspicious or can backstab the MC after getting what they want . Dizzy / Rose well this update also made her suspicious but she seems to actually like the MC . Also you can reject Dizzy , just choose the option to reject her , but story wise this update was important since it revealed she might be a member of the rebels

I honestly think this is a red herring. What's most likely happening is each team member is a pawn for someone interested in what happened to Vayne on his mission. A mission, I might add, we know very little about other than the empire seemed really keen on turning him into a war hero afterwards.

Theory crafting aside, we're being dripfed information with each update that answers some questions, and yet we're left with twice as many afterwards. You have too many parties interested in SOS Nu that it's nearly impossible to predict who will turn on who and when. At this point, I think GT relishes in our struggles to figure out what's going on that I am starting to believe he might be the true rebel leader.

i did the last option and still got her as a friend some how.
Yes, there were a few players pointing that out before, and in one of my saves where i rejected her happend as well, guess the game has to evolve a bit before we really see the impact of this choice,

Dizzy is intrinsically tied to the plot, presumably for the entirety of the first act. I think there is a disconnect with players in assuming they have full autonomy of the MC when it's more along the lines of a shared consciousness (think of characters like Geralt from The Witcher games).

The player can choose who they have romantic relationships with, but they cannot choose who the have interactions with. This type of writing will most likely occur with Vayne's (MC) team as well; you can either engage in romance or keep things professional.

That's precisely it. The choice to delay the decision to pursue Dizzy romantically is out of RP reasons, just like turning down Lana even if you want or do not want to romance her. Or the choice to accept or reject Grace's invitation. As I've said before, this isn't a dating sim, the story comes first, and all the LIs have a role in the main plot.

Dizzy was the focus of this update because she has been the focus of this chapter, whether you realize it or not. I write the story and plan out the updates on a per-chapter basis. I only release chapters in parts for Patreon, but I will not compromise the final product for that.

Great CGs, beautiful and intresting girls. Looking forward to the continuation of the story. Just two things: First, during the operation, when they go for the thugs they should at least wear body armor underneath. Currently the whole team looks like some super specialized and highly trained military assets that have zero equipment. Second, although you have a great sense for storytelling the sex scenes just pass by - at least for me they just feel like a nice interlude and don't invite to some personal action - no descriptions, no decent (dirty) talk, no thoughts between the characters.

My best guess as to why the team lacks body armor centers on their mission. Vayne's team is on a populated world that isn't actively at war, so a group of heavily armed operatives from the empire may cause issues with the relatively independent government overseeing that specific world. There are a few other minor reasons, but they boil down to some variation of "it's a covert mission".

I'd absolutely love to see the sex scenes expanded upon further with animations and dirty talk. However, GT has expressed (as recent as the post above yours) that the story takes priority. Dialogue during sex isn't really the norm outside of the porn industry as most people usually just grunt, moans, and the occasional one liners playing on a specific kink (i.e. "put a baby in me").

Honestly, I think his current approach regarding sex scenes is for the best considering the game is still in it's early stages. The amount of time, effort, and skill it takes to develop a VN is nothing short of extraordinary. Having looked through the code for several Ren'Py games I can safely say that development cycles of 8 months or less is beyond impressive, despite using an engine that streamlines the process.

This update's sex scene is meant to be more "sensual". Tbh, it is the type of scene that is better off faded to black than actually showing it. I thought the minimal dialogue worked better for the tone. When a scene is more driven by lust or passion, there will be more dialogue.

With that said, I'm also not very good at it, so I do tend to avoid it if I can.

Well, in this case you just put the armor in a big bag and don them on site. Just saying that from a military point of view, you don't run into a gunfight unprotected if you can avoid it. If Gallant Trombe is focused on the story as he says (which I find great so far), it's a discrepancy that came to my attention and I'm normally not that attentive. Btw, Aria wears some nice suit in that scene and I'd say that it is probably bulletproof in regards to handguns considering how advanced the world is in which the story is taking place and her access to current state-fo-the-art equipment concerning her standing. You don't necessarily need to put on bulky body armor.... Just say in the preparation that their clothes are enhanced by standard considering their mission or they should take a little gadget with them that will create a force field that is appropriate in this regard. There are probably another 10 easily explainable ways to provide some sort of protection, I'm probably just annoyed by the total lack of it.

Concerning the sex scenes: I'm just saying that they are not enough for me to get going IF that is his intention. Currently I'm playing the game because of the story and the scenes are a nice gimmick.

No matter how much I try, I can't bring myself to play it. It has great lore, great music and fantastic visuals, but the main character... The dude visually looks like Dante who lost his sword, and according to legend, he is like a descendant of the God Emperor who personally commanded the Ultramarines during the Horus Heresy, but for most of the novel he is cries and complains and the master looks like a regular Starbucks dude. Please turn the coolness and charisma switch to the maximum

Just new to this game...Am I the only one not into Lana? But other chars are really good. story was great.
Pros: Good story, nice chars design, nice scenes
Cons: wish I could make text speed more faster. need more animations in the scenes and wish there were more scenes storywise

all in all pretty good
