Slaves don't get to make choices, so the Ranch 218 stuff would just be a slide show. Probably worth doing when the game is otherwise finished, but an unnecessary diversion of resources if there's story left to be told.
The problem is that the story is reminiscent of that same Groundhog Day. There are a lot of events, done beautifully, interestingly, but the feeling is that the story stands still. I'm not sure it's a good thing when the main plot core of the whole game is left untapped. Oh, and is there still one? Personally, I'd like to see at least a rough roadmap for the development of future updates. Where is our game headed in general and what are the developer's plans for Monica? One ride of humiliation replaces another, but globally the story stands still. Yes, it's still a great game (better than many games), but I'm 100% convinced that there needs to be a global shift in the story, something more serious than selling Monica's body to slum bums.

For example, when the Ep3 v5 update came out (specifically the Revenge quest) and then Ep3 v6 (specifically Marcus' Farm related quest), I had a feeling of near elation, knowing that this is it, something global is starting. After that there were many good quests (e.g. casting for the position of VIP Escort Administrator, Love Triangle, some events with Victoria, in general, I won't list all the quests, there are many of them and they turned out to be good and interesting). Now it remains to advance the main story of the game (it's important not to forget that) or at least hint to the players how (and when) this is planned to be done.

I don't even think of Monica's long-awaited service to Philip as his slave anymore. Will we ever see that? I suppose it could be a kind of a reference point that could move the main story in the right direction.

I have been waiting for the next Philip scene for 10 updates now. Any idea when that will happen. All investors have agreed except Phil quite a while ago.
Really? Could you remind me when Steve agreed to invest?

I suspect we will see Monica in Phillip's basement in the last couple of updates of this chapter. My guess is as good as yours as to when that will be.

That Phillip scene was always planned to be one of the final updates of ep 2.2 or ep 3 as it's now called. I think we discussed it at the time. Agreed that it is well overdue for some kind of developer update with some information of the time frames that are expected for at least the completion of this chapter.

I suspect though that whatever plans were in place when he began ep2, they have long been expanded and delayed. I'm not complaining. I still highly enjoy the content of the game. We all lose patience when we play these games update to update and sometimes lose some perspective of the game as a whole. The game flows really well if you start a new playthrough and play till the end of the current content. You will need a fair amount of free time though.:)

It would not be much different from the rest, it's already in large parts a slide show, with most content in one large main path, some options on the side and few shorter hard branches. It's still a VN anyway, we're not talking about open end world here.

A slave path could be played out with Monica getting trained with the possibility to get out again like Melanie did to serve outside, Monica could also try to escape or slide deeper into slave training just trying to survive, it would keep things interesting with lots of filthy scenes plus lots of bad end possibilites. There are multiple things that could be done to keep it going that my dirty mind could think of. But I think that's kind of dead and off the table right now, there will be pet training with Marcus and some BDSM with Philip.

Steve is a given in my opinion. He doesn't seem to have any interest other than doing anal with Monica. Which she does with anyways. So it would be just another scene to get Steve ti agree, nothing intresting to watch there. Philip on the other hand brings something much more interesting to the table.

I wasn't trying to compare the virtues of Steve and Phillip. Just reminding you that Steve has yet to agree like Phillip to invest in Biff's magazine. You really don't think Steve will make some sort of interesting ultimatum to Biff or Monica for his investment? You are right that it will probably involve Monica's arse in some way.:)

I have a Bug where Betty is invisible in her Bedroom and now I'm stuck because I wanted to clean. How can I fix this?
There is an actual bug that appeared after ep3 v 11. He has released a hotfix a couple of weeks back but it has not been shared here yet. As I posted earlier players like HaggeHanson may have to wait for v12 before a fix is posted here.
