I'm still trying to figure out the Des romance path Like weather I should help Eve with her paper or not and then there is this,
-Choose Des in salon conversation(With Tara)
-Keep going(This is important choose about romance path with Des
This part kinda confuses me too.

First to be sure I picked the 'looking for romance' in the beginning. I also always choose Viv to be dominant. I also did tell her that her painting has something 'missing' and didn't give her the art dealer's business card.
I didn't help Eve. I don't want to have to deal with Ms Harper because of Eve. :confused:
I think you have to be nice to her and support her. But the important part is to not to let her sleep over! Even Tara mentioned it at the salon.
However do invite her to the party.
Yes, you have to 'sell the kiss' when Viv meets Des when they go shopping to have a romantic relationship with Des. The middle option probably does nothing and the last one is for the dominant route.
Might probably ask about Tara about Des to tell the game that Viv is really interested in her. But the important parts are the kiss and the sleep over.
At the party to avoid trouble first choose to dance with Des. Viv can dance as close to Des as you want. Then go to the bar. Becca greets them there and Malina tries to be annoying. Reject Becca and stay with Des. Enjoy a couple of drinks with Des and at the end definitely go with her. You wouldn't want to miss a scene with her, right? ;)
After the party when Viv goes to meet Des at the art studio. It doesn't matter if you accept Eve's invitation to the sorority party as it's incomplete anyway.
Feel free to have Viv be a model for Des, you won't see the result on the romance route anyway. Mind you, Des paints Viv differently depending on the kind of relationship they have. Enjoy another hot scene at the dorm. You have to. Otherwise Viv won't get the chance to confess her feelings in the end.
Few days pass and Des doesn't call or message Viv so she decides to pay her a visit. If you've done things right, the final choice for Viv is to confess her feelings to Des. Des will finally be serious for a long enough time to listen to Viv and not dismiss her outright. :D
The end.

Well not really, but you have reached Desiree's best ending. :)
If you accepted Eve's invitation, go see the party. There are a couple of hot scenes. I recommend looking for the girl with the white crop top and black hair. Her scene is quite hot. Viv can have fun with Ms Harper too, but her scene isn't as hot.
No matter what you do, probably the last scene is Viv going to a date with Ms Harper. I didn't bother with it, so I can't say for certain. I think it's because the game wasn't finished and the last part is bugged. Even if the original edition was left unfinished, we at least got a good ending with Des. :)

To recap the important points:
don't let Des sleep over at Viv's house - for the final visit at her dorm instead of a second meeting at the art studio
'Sell the kiss' when they go shopping - to get on her romance route
have sex with Des (after the art room) - to make her think of Viv as something more than friends

I have been wondering, is Vivian the only child of her father or does she have siblings? Half siblings, that is. As he had many 'wives'.

I tried the new edition. And I have to say, the backgrounds look much better now. Viv has a nicer body and compared to Des looks like an adult. Des has a prettier dress and Eva looks better I guess. I think some of the guys like the art dealer and Desiree's ex-boyfriend have been improved too. Though I liked Tara's old look more.
The plot seems to be indeed more streamlined, as Viv goes to drink with Des no matter what and she also gets Ms Harper's offer regardless. Several scenes I have noticed have been lifted from the old edition. I do think it would be best to write the story anew (going forward) and just take a few elements from the old story that the dev really liked, to not get bogged down in the old (edition's) plots.
The current version basically serves as a character introduction. I do like that some scenes are fleshed out more and we already get a couple of sex scenes, albeit only fantasies, while we wait for the real deal.
All-in-all good job so far and I'm looking forward for more.

Is there a way to get the last scene to be where there's options of like 3 different things to say to tell Des she love's her?

I amended my post. But there is one last important thing. Have sex! I found this when I looked at the script. Because there are different ways to get to her dorm in the end but without having sex with Des and being on her romantic route they won't even get to talk about it and the final choice 'it meant something for me' won't show up.
Frankly, I didn't even think about it as Viv would have sex with Des anyway in my playthrough.

This is why I ask.

I wanted to play the latest version I could find as to get the most of the old edition. And the latest version I found was 0.5.42.b.
I wonder why it's not available here, but I don't think there would be any significant differences. It should be mostly bug fixes.
How far did you get?
There are a lot of variations depending on some variables in the scripts, but the important one is dessex. It depends on whether or not Viv had sex with Des after her first art room session.

As I wrote above there should be only a few key choices that lead to the desired outcome (pun intended ;)).

As I couldn't find it, I uploaded mine. . Don't worry about the number in the main menu. If you go to 'about', there it states the correct version. It has the developer console activated (press Shift-O). As I hate when a text box obstructs the view, I'm using a script in Renpy vn that allows you to adjust it's transparency. It's also been updated to the latest Renpy version 8.37 (I played it in Joiplay on my tablet and I kinda messed up the renpy plugins. :whistle: So to be able to open the saves from the tablet on my pc I had to replace the renpy files with a new version. :rolleyes:)
And if you are really desperate, I have attached a save file at the ending. :giggle:

There are a few ways. You can not help Eva, and then then let her get her well deserved fate and refuse a regular date with Harper, you can consitently lie throughout earlier sections of the game (ie always pick lie options), then when Harper confronts you, you can just lie your way out of it, or if you are dominant, you can help Eva, and the tell Harper to fuck off.

If you mean after you had your happy end with Des, it always triggered. I ignored Ms Harper, was on the Desiree's romantic route, dominant, casual, went to Eva's party, it always occurred. But by that point you have reached the end of content and I think that part is bugged. I didn't continue playing afterwards, as I didn't care. So I don't know what and if anything happens after Harper's date.

You said something about that part being bugged do you think they'll fix it?

Yes! By remaking the game. :giggle:
The old game wasn't finished. Bwg is now remaking it with better graphics and more streamlined plot lines, as the original was getting quite convoluted and difficult to manage that's why there was slow progress on it. Now we are on version 0.41 of the new edition. We era now in the early stage up to meeting Ms Harper and getting her offer. Work on 0.51 is still ongoing.

I assume you managed to reach the happy end with Des?
