You just crushed the hopes of Igor's fans...

Igor's a homie and a bro... but let's be realistic here

Also, I don't care whose hopes I crushed.

Of course he is our bro!

But you know, I wouldn't mind impregnating his girlfriend...

Igor's fans after watching that variable

View attachment 4011829

Notice the variable doesn't indicate "who" impregnated her... it's just obvious. It's Z. MC. The Showstopper. The MVP.

Notice the variable doesn't indicate "who" impregnated her... it's just obvious. It's Z. MC. The Showstopper. The MVP.

The code handles that question but, the story doesn't. The time between the two events is too close for the characters to differentiate between the two possible donors.

If the MC has chosen the option to impregnate her, then it doesn't (in my mind) make sense to allow Igor to fill her up that soon after. When that scene happened, I had no clue it was going to go that far. Up until that point, nothing Igor was allowed to do would create a conflict of paternity.

On one hand, it's a game and that are what save slots and rollback are for. On the other, it seems odd to have this MC allow someone else a chance to burden him with another mouth to feed and protect.

Yeah I had to cut Igor off as well, he was getting too greedy. First he wants a bj when he comes to visit, then he wants more when we go to visit him, then later he wants a piece of Kat lol. Now from what I hear there will be repeatable visits in the future so I guess he's expecting to fuck our whole harem before all is said and done. Nope, thank God it's optional. Igor can kick rocks.

He wasnt greedy at all, he didn't ask for anything. It's the MC's decision to be a good host or a good friend by sharing.

Before they fuck they talk about Kat's pregnancy and say that she's probably already pregnant.

This was my train of thought exactly, that's why Igor had to get cut off lol.

Edit: Not to mention that situation goes against her whole backstory because one of the main reasons she left her village was because she didn't want to get passed around, she wanted to choose, and she did. I know there's a good option and a bad option to deal with everyone in this game and it seems that sharing here, is the bad outcome for her. Let's not forget, the quest is called "did curiosity kill the Kat", so I'm naturally inclined to protect her from that outcome. While I enjoy watching the degenerate scenes as they are pretty kinky, my save will usually settle on the good path for people like her and Fairy etc.

Oh he did ask, just not in words. What he wanted was very clear.

Dev log 08.09.2024

Hey everyone, I hope you had a nice week!

I realize that while working on the new content that it must be quite annoying to not know what is even being developed here. We can compare it to the scene with Julia and the lonely house in the zone where I tried to keep the point of the scene secret so you will not get spoiled, except this one is even longer and will have some nice rewards at the end.

While the mutants represent not a direct unavoidable main story, it will give a somewhat deeper insight of the world we are in, and the challenges that the people of the wasteland outside the safe and (baby producing) city walls face, which the old world left behind for them. That just as a footnote for the seemingly random previews you're seeing!

Tldr: I keep cooking

Third shot is a comparison between the old and the new and it should highlight how dated some of the older scenes are. I am showing some new angles or highlights in almost every reworked scene so that it's worth replaying next update.

Also, we might finally have some news regarding the steam review next week... and something else that I want to show you too!

Dr. Pepper looks busy. Maybe she's spy pepper for now and ditching her profession as a doctor lmao

 

[26thOfJuly]

I'm a little bit scared that the next update is going to look like the big battle in the last season of GoT where all you could see was darkness. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Is it just me or it's trendy to rework games nowadays? A lot of games I follow often re-make past scenes, re-write code, change art style etc. This is A-list project with amazing atmosphere so deserves some trust, but I worry still. We all know this dev team can cook, I just hope they don't get lost in the sauce. Some repeatable events do sound nice, but only if they have some variations each repeat - if it's just a loop it becomes redundant since you can just use gallery/load old save for that. As always there are 2 forces fighting within me; 1) Awesome sounding features, great ideas, I can imagine it will look spectacular! 2) This will add few months to the next update, I will have to re-play the game from start, I will forget stuff from previous update by the time this comes out, it will get re-worked again in the future why am I even immersing.

Will see, not like I have any right to complain, but maybe someone shares similar views as I do and this post can be a bit of a cushion for the worrying blow.

I've mentioned this before here, but these reworks are probably largely motivated by the upcoming Steam release of DS. Steam releases can be incredibly lucrative, so it's not surprising they might take some time to rework some earlier scenes that aren't up to snuff, since those will be a Steam user's first impression of the game and might otherwise complain that they don't live up to preview images.

I'm sure many other devs have similar motivations.

Well you gotta look at it this way, developers improve as time goes by. How many years have some of these games been in development? Imagine how much you improve over that time span. Edit: Also, devs earn money over time and can afford better equipment and assets, that plays a role as well.

I'm personally glad this dev is reworking scenes, some of them were really bad. Look at that first scene with Emilia in the MC's bedroom after you officially announce her as part of the house, it's pretty bad compared to the rest. Only gripe I would have with this whole process is that the devs should finish the game first before reworking things, as is being done with Chasing Sunsets for example and even DPC plans to rework the first chapters where needed, after the game is done.

massage Ain I also think it needs to be redone it is also outdated

 

[dolfe67]

for example and even DPC plans to rework the first chapters where needed, after the game is done.

Where did you read that? He could have remade Acting Lessons (he made a few renders to show his improvement) but he said he won't do it and prefer going forward. Perhaps he'll do it when badik's finished if he doesn't have idea for a new game, but there is quite a lot of years planned to finish it

I don't remember where I read him saying this but I remember reading something like that somewhere. It's wasn't some huge remake or anything but I think he mentioned wanting to touch up a few things. Take that with a grain of salt though because like I said, it's been a while since I've read this. If anything it should be in some Q&A he did.

Acting Lessons isn't nearly as popular as BaD so it wouldn't make much sense to spend loads of time remaking it. Pretty sure BaD is going to be his last project, he is a multi-millionaire now after all. Chances are high that he will retire after BaD is done. If I was him I'd retire and go enjoy life.
