Ren'Py Crossing the Lines [Ch.2.2.04] [Temptales Studio]

[ThrowAwayThisTablet]

Any gallery unlocker? The Universal doesn't work. Soft das nothing. The hard breaks the game.

I made one, it's attached here. Just paste it into the game folder (you know the drill). The code simply sets the required values in persistent for the gallery items to unlock.


PS. I’ve never been a fan of that universal unlocker. It feels like a complicated solution for something so simple.

Currently, you can only have relationships with girls, but the game does not support pure homosexuality.
Emily remains bisexual no matter what.

The game doesn't push you anywhere. You can very much remain lesbian or not be lesbian at all.
But, yes, men try to sleep with Emily, however, she can refuse and that doesn't prevent her from succeeding.

You sending mix signal here...
Did you change your mind since July?

So at times, in her fantasies, she may crave “cock,” but I imagine this should be seen more as a desire to be penetrated (by a dildo, for example).

I've never refer any of my toys as "cock" or "dick", they are dildo or toys for me but I can see some people call it that, sure.
I think it could be beneficial to give the player agency on that front though. Or perhaps make it more... vague?
At the very least you give us the choice between masturbating and studying. That's a big plus. Less sexy but we can't always get what we want

I will try to pay attention to this point in the future.
Note that in any case, it is not at all mandatory to have heterosexual relationships, and it's just a few lines of dialogue here and there.

I get it, maybe for you it's a simple detail and change barely anything. For me it's not that easy to disregard that kind of dialogue.
I appreciate that you'll pay more attention to those kind of dialogue in the future.

But normally, there is no reason for Vicky to remain angry.

I don't see why SHE would be angry that SHE fuck our brother It's more the other way around.

Could you copy one of the lines of dialogue from when she cheats on you?
And tell me what job you're leaving? I'll look for the incompatibility and fix it.

The job at the nightclub working for Mike, the night before the exam.

If we can't play as a lesbian I think I'll just stop playing your game, no offence. Correct me if I'm wrong but, I suspect in the future we will walk on other characters having sex and those scenes will be tie to the plot, making it unavoidable. I would prefer to avoid that kind of content.
For what is worth, I really like your writing style (I think there is a bit to much cheating/drama in her family though) and the characters design/art style are awesome.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I think they meant that Vicky and Emily can either have a fallout over Emily getting pissed off at Vicky for fucking Emily's brother, or Emily can play it cool and be okay with Vicky and her brother hooking up. Vicky isn't (potentially) angry at Emily because she has fucked her family member, but because that fuck can result in a blow up between the two of them.

Emily is ether "Not angry" or "hurt and disappointed" she's never pissed off at Vicky. I chose hurt and disappointed. Emily said she's to tier and a little loss and need time to process it. Then they stay a while on the couch watching tv in silence. Vicky finally ask her to crash at her place for the night, Emily accept and offer her her bed. The next morning, Emily wake up next to a naked Vicky, she dress up, thanks Emily for everything and this is pretty much the ends of it. Never coming back on the subject, no text from Vicky, nothing.
Next time they talk to each other is directly after the exam they talk about her modeling gigs and her casual sex with Jules. Nothing about Connor, nothing about the disappointment, it just not addressed. No fallout, no bickering, no blow between them, it's just quietly swept under the rug. Not that I want them to be mad at each other on the contrary, but there is no consequence or follow up.

Thank you for bringing this up. Indeed, this topic should be closed more clearly between Vicky and Emily.
I will add that.
You have to understand that you are only playing one path, but I have dozens of them in the process of being written with dozens of variables. Sometimes, I may think I've closed a topic, but in fact I've only closed it for 95% of the paths and there's still a loophole.
Your feedback on this is very valuable. Thank you for that.
As for this issue of cheating with Charlotte, it's clearly a bug. I'll look into why, I suppose there's a jump that takes you to a place where you shouldn't be.
Indeed, in your case, Charlotte broke up with Liam, so you should be able to continue on the lesbian couple path without any worries.
Furthermore, I have taken note of your comment about Emily's pure homosexuality. It's a subject I hadn't considered in those terms, leaving bisexuality more open as a basis but allowing all heterosexual content to be rejected for Emily without consequences.
However, I have taken note of your point and will see how I can make Emily a purely lesbian woman. Currently, the problem is that all professions lead to paths involving heterosexuality (whether it's Emily or someone else). I'm not sure I can change that retrospectively, but I can be mindful of it in the future.
I can't tell you how yet, as I need to find a natural way to do it, but I'll try to keep it in mind.

edit:
Oh, I found the bug with your screenshots, thank you.
Normally, when you quit this job, you should be offered to go out with Charlotte that evening, but that's not happening. It's been fixed for the next update.
Sorry about that. That will lead to the shower scene with Charlotte.

Thank you very much for this! Would be highly appreciated!!!

I get wanting something more to come from that conversation but Conner is too much of a fuck up to ever get upset with her best friend over. He's bleeding the family dry and might be having thugs coming after them in the future. I'd like for her to tell Vic that she understands wanting to help the injured bird but she's worried that he'd pull her down with him.

However, I have taken note of your point and will see how I can make Emily a purely lesbian woman.

I think the easiest way to pull that off is to take a page out of Mass Effect's book and make her start neutral when it comes to possible relationships/ sexual scenarios. I like to play Emily as a lesbian but she flat out rejects the teacher during the second study meeting because she didn't listen when she said she was just there to study because she was much too pushy.

I think the game already tracks the sex stats and kinks so this can help with scenes. Perhaps there can be a scene where you can pick if she's a lesbian or bi. That way you can still the Jules/Vicky scene after the club to get the voyeur kink but make it be that she was entirely focused on Vicky's pleasure if lesbian.

I think there may be another bug. When Charlotte breaks up with Liam when they meet at the club and he says he's happy for them but leaves saying he's not masochistic enough to see them being lovey dovey. He then comes back to let the kink talk play out. I'm not sure that makes sense.

Good point, indeed, there was a “jump” missing and so it resumed at the wrong place.
This has been corrected in the next update.

 

[GokutheG]

I've heard there's a new black girl in the game but I never saw her. I had Em start at the gentleman's club did I need to pick the bar?

Oh and during the modeling gig Em was apprehensive about posing top less and wouldn't do it when just before she was asked she can drop to the floor to spread her dripping vagina. I really think those are events backwards because going top less is an easier step then fully exposed your vag is.

 

[TempTales-Paul]

She works at the nightclub, so she will intervene if you choose the Police, Waitress, or Criminal (coming soon) professions.

Ok so those jobs aren't in the public version yet? Is the waitress job the one Gus tells you about if you don't join the vip room? I'm guessing the cop route is in the Patreon version still.

I think the nightclub is in the Patreon version.

 

[TempTales-Paul]

Police officer is available in this update. There are several solutions, but mainly you need to have high karma (so play a wise Emily) or advise Isabelle to go to the police (and then volunteer to steal the documents from Gus).
The waitress job is available if you are not a hostess or if you quit the hostess job.
The criminal job is currently only available on Patreon (which has advance updates).

This does sound backward, because normally she is asked to go topless first:



Also, that scene doesn't have the photographer ask Emily to "drop to the floor", only to take off her panties. So now i'm wondering if we're perhaps talking of two different events, and/or things got more messed up on your end.

Are you sure about that?
Because it seems impossible to me since the two events happen in reverse order.
First the “soft” photo shoot, then the “hard” one a few days later.
In between, normally, there's the restaurant with Eric.

Huh that's weird I never got the chance to join the police. How do I start that route? Do you need to go the route where you follow Isabella and you spot her kissing the brother on the first day or is it the time you ease drop on her conversation with Gus at the cafe? I've had the mc either stay at home with sis to watch movies or study at home. She's been a good girl with 5 karma and 12+ academics if that helps.

Weird to see that I never saw those opportunities since the game ended shortly for me after the modeling job by either refusing to get naked or doing what the photographer wanted and showing her vagina.

So I also never started the waitress job Gus suggested.

You need 6+ karma for the job offer to show up on Emily's feed, if she wasn't involved in the criminal activities one way or another.

The outfits Emily starts with let her adjust her karma score by 1 point in either direction, so depending on combination you choose to wear she might be able to clear that hurdle without changing your game choices.

To become a police officer, you need to have a karma rating of strictly above 5, or you need to have followed Isabelle into the bar (when she is talking to Gus) and then, when you go to see her a few days later at the bar, suggest that she go to the police (but in this case, a karma rating of 0 or above will suffice).

This path is not compatible with the modeling job.

You can take the waitress job at the beginning of the game. The first time you go to your apartment, you can decide to be a waitress instead of a hostess.

Hmmm, how about try to follow Isabell when she goes to meet Gus first and eavesdrop on their conversation, and then when Isabell want to talk to Emily about it, that should be appear a choice to go to police
