So several more months.

Remind me who's that again?

Brint's family.

At any rate, Cait's relationship even excluding her tendency to fuck everything with a pulse isn't that much different than everybody else. There's no romance. Just favors performed and sex.

I really don't understand why "romance" is handled like that in this game. Savin and Co. obviously know how to write something at least a little heartfelt(hell even TOBS can, see Rags), so why do they just keep doing this completely nonsensical relationship progression? Every single romance is just a person liking you for existing or doing favors for them. Hell, does Brienne even give reasons as to why she likes the MC? You get like literally one scene where you bond with her that I'm sure almost nobody has seen(spending time with her at camp), and that's it. Same thing applies to Kiyoko, Atugia, Arona, etc. I would suggest it's simply because they have sex with you, but that obviously doesn't mean anything in this setting so I have no clue.

It's just baffling to me that a text-based game with people who have written for years can't get this right when complete randoms making a VN entirely by themselves do a great job with it. It makes me think it's intentional but with the way the game is written, it's obviously not.

Good ol'fashioned brainwashing.

Of course half of it is gated behind doing Cait's shit. And only running threadbare this week?

Damage control after getting called out for it last week.

 

[Alterism]

this week?

Code for "we've been playing new release after new release for the past few months and the only person that's done shit is Wsan who just recently finished his big project that we're now scrambling to code as of yesterday and is now carrying the weight of the entire team"

 

[QuedzaDrake]

That's a long fucking code, longer than the coding for update itself.

Any other game you find out an npc is married it's a usually comes with the chance to become someone's paramour, could even lead to some of the funniest or heart breaking scenes in a game, but here feels like it'll just led to more threesomes more voyeurism more disappointment.

I said this in the comments of the post, but, yeah, I am also feeling underwhelmed.

While I get that there is Brienne house to look forward to, it:
a)is done by one writer
b) feels like it will be stretched to thin between three main routes and all small variations at top of them
c)is not everyone's cup of tea so I am not sure what else there is to look forward to

Last big update was Ryn's and that was over four months ago.

 

[Based Department]

ok fine, brihaus is coming.
what has every other writer been doing tho?
Because it seems like fuck all, it has for a long fucking time now.
also maybe hire more/better coders, just a thought.

 

[Warphorror]

So now Cait can be a self healing tank, why? Isn't she supposed to be an acolyte? She had a clear identity as either a healer or as a magic damage dealer in the roster in line with her background.

 

[thecatcameback]

Because Cait is Savin's self insert.
