What's the feeling on SS? I haven't noticed anyone there complaining about how Viv looks
True, and I take that into major consideration which is why when I did the redesign I put it up to a poll on which people think looks better and the majority of people said the new version. And I have actually been using the new version for the sorority party and up until now no one has commented on her change of appearance

Well not to disparage other game devs, it is my opinion that what happened is a case of chasing the money. They were not making the money that they wanted to make and when they heard people constantly saying that they wont play it because they don't play female MC they instead decided to scrap their game and make a more 'profitable' game instead and call it a remake trying to capture both old and new.

It was pretty disheartening to see when people got angry about the change the Dev's response was well if I get enough patrons then I will put up a poll and let them decided. Or pay me money and I will maybe make the changes that you want.

I will never let other people dictate my vision for the game. I will however take advice and criticism on improvements that can be made. There are a lot of things that I just don't notice or think of. More over, I want people to enjoy playing my games so if I can tweak it so more people enjoy it then I will do my best.
She had two other games that were in the starting phases that she could have used for such changes so the decision to reboot sucked.

Huh. I had decided to wait on the party to be complete before I started once again. Hopefully the recoding goes well and makes development go smoother in the future.

Wow. That was the most depressing run through the game I have ever done. Des has negative affection points, Mom is heartbroken and Viv is blackmailed by Harper.
Silver lining is, it's still pretty hot, cuz now Viv only has Ms. Harper to lean on. Whole lotta exploitive potential there.

I got this again from a different route, this time I did this (approximately):
Tara dom. Sleepover with Des. Help Eva cheat. Invite Eva to live at home. Shopping with Des and claim her. Go to party with Des and Eva. At party go with Rebecca. Don't have sex with Rebecca and look for Des. Eva finds Viv and then Des with huge fight. Viv stands between them and tells the truth and Des runs away with a broken heart. Viv follows Des. Viv gives a gift to Des in art studio and both get nude. Eva explains from her pov what happened between Des and Eva. Viv goes to see Des and they talk about what happened. The error message comes.

By the way, I really love that route, because both Des and Eva gets to show their vulnerable side. And the writing is good throughout.

I tried to do this exact route awhile back and no matter what I tried I could not get both Des and Eva at the party together. I was able to get Des / Mom and Eva / Mom, but I do t know what I screwed up to prevent Des and Eva from going together.

Not sure what you have tried. You can't take both Des and Mom at the same time to the party. Des, Des / Eva, Mom, Mom / Eva are the four combinations possible. Also note that you can only get Des / Eva party if you help Eva cheat. Then when talking to Eva you need to say that you are going to a party and invite her.

Without looking at the code to make absolutely certain you should be able to invite if you help her cheat and if you help her write the paper. You just have to mention you are going to the party when you talk to jer the next day when she is looking for a way to pay you back.

You only get the big convo with Eva the next day where you can mention going to the party if you help her cheat. The other way to get Eva invited is if she lives at home and you are going to the party with Mom and goes shopping with her, then Eva goes along Viv and Mom to the party.

If you blow off Eva or help her write the paper you only get short convos before Oscar butts in.

This is actually the route I want to continue most as it will probably lead to the Sorority party with Eva trying to prove she can be a proper and supportive girlfriend worthy of the last chance she's been given. (Good chance to lead to more meek and obedient Eva scenes)

The Eva romance path is fun. If not for anything else then just for how uncomfortable Eva becomes from anything romance. :D

Hello! I have now finished my walkthrough of DDS. The walkthrough is long and complicated. Hopefully it is useful and relatively understandable. If you find something that is erroneous or something that could be made in a better way, feel free to mention it.

The walkthrough is for version 0.5.41 beta. I have not included the sorority party in the walkthrough because "Everything from here on is subject to change.".
