Did the Patch get reset or something in this version...? I used to have Stacy as "sister", continued from week 2, and now she's calling me "friend" at the end. Wtf?

Pretty much. Some people have the naive idea that making a game is super easy: "just slap some pictures together with some written lines and it is ready".
Well, in a way your right.....for a really shitty game :LOL:

That's pretty much the Ren'Py tutorial right there. I tried it. That's when I decided making a game of my own was WAY to difficult - if I wanted to make one that didn't suck donkey ass.

Now to get a QUALITY game.......that's a whoooooooooooole different story!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Haven't had a good facepalming in what feels like hours, so I'll bite



Winning/losing a challenge in a game like this can only work in a couple of ways

a) if you fail you can retry, i. e. play parts of the game again
b) similarily you can get an additional challenge if you fail to get back on the "winning" path
c) failing or winning doesn't have much consequences except for one or two scenes and a slight change in some dialogue
d) failing leads to a game over (or, less likely, winning leads to an immediate "you win" happy ending)

But when, as here, major plot elements hinge on whether you win or lose, it has to be pre decided. If you had a real option, it would basically turn into two games with very different stories, meaning twice the story writing, twice the rendering, twice the amount of time needed for the same amount of content for the average player, also twice the disk space used.

That doesn't mean that a dev needs to include a "competition" like that, especially one that seems doable (though that adds to the suspense), it doesn't mean you have to be happy with the outcome, but facepalm everybody as much as you like, if you "cared to think" about how plot driven games work you would have known from the beginning that winning isn't really a probable outcome. Even big studios can't really do it differently, the Mass Effect example mentioned above is pretty spot on (especially because that scene also was annoying af), you might want to read up on it since probably you are too young to remember.
my biggest problem with this is, that there was this challenge. it was indicated that there was a way to win, but no indication that it was actually impossible. so you start searching for the right path to win and lose hours of your lifetime for nothing. and then you get a forced "punishment" for something you didnt actually fail!

Yes, the game was rigged from the start, but by the Fetish Locator app already I'd say. FL is obviously evil and won't give you a fighting chance here (that you get so close notwithstanding).

But as I said, from a game programming perspective the odds were really unlikely. Also from a player's perspective it was, once you failed of course, to be expected that 19 would be the maximum. If you already bagged 20, the whole scene how you insert into your childhood friend (roommate? landlady junior?) a mere second after the timeline wouldn't make any sense at all. Granted, if you're short of 19 it also is a bit anticlimactic, and probably many will be - those who don't use a walkthrough, those who skipped a fetish or two and thus the corresponding possibilities.

Played Week 3.
I will say it again, no way Lydia isn't involved with the FL app. I find her encouragement of Mike when he wanted to give up from the game quite suspicious and she was way too happy with the "no penis" idea. :devilish::unsure:

And who would have guess Peter is the one who say "fuck it! Not going to let some anon blackmail me over some porn pics. You can release them in the wild for all i care". :LOL::LOL:
Wonder who took his notebook, maybe the people behind FL app. :unsure:

Mike took Lyssa's WMD as a champ (still want a scene between them without the damn cage) and it seems the thick lawyer also have Olivier heads over heels for her. :p

Guess AmRose and Stacy will probably hack the eletronic cage while inside their "faraday cage" in the next couple of days from the looks of it.

I fully support the author's vision and so on, but given that before that almost all "controversial" content was optional, I quite understand "Interminable whining". In my opinion, it is quite justified.
Define "controversial".

I don't like vanilla romance plots in these games, as I think devs can't write it properly and is more fitting for some cheap vampire novel for soccer moms than a porn game. Should I whine when a game forces a default romantic partner (and too many do), or we can only consider controversial what a certain subset of players doesn't like? Is it a majority vote kind of thing and where can we vote? And if it is, do you think a game developing its critical path by committee is a good game?

Personally, I find more worrying the possibility of that movie reference being some meta commentary on dev's thoughts than any "forced fetish". Because any dev thin-skinned enough to feel "forced" to adjust their vision, is bound to fuck it all up at some point.

Not a harem but I want a poly ending with Lydia being the wife, AmRose, Min, Daisy and sis all being poly with my MC. The rest of the girls are just side pieces that I can move on from but those 5 have won my heart.

I kind of felt like I should have given you a "facepalm" just so you wouldn't be disappointed, but I hate giving people a facepalm reaction unless they "earn" it like for asking about updates right after the Dev has made a post about updates :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Here's this instead;

Even though you didn't "earn it" ;):LOL::cool:

fetish locator?... hmm...
No incest
No impregnation
no inbreeding
no pregnant sex
no bestiality
no BDSM
no S&M
No handle bar hair pulling while making motorcycle sounds while pounding her as hard as you can (i cannot think of a tag for this).
No male on futa
No futanari lovingly pounding your ass and not being a total domineering bitch about it.
no damn futanari
does not seem to have anything for those that love being cucked, you know who you are (if you add this make it optional and not forced like a certain dev i hate who claims it is optional but forces it)
no ect ect...

man i think this is some fine false advertising here. good luck dude.

2020 NOTE: When i wrote this well over a year ago when the game launched, there was nothing in it. The list was made as a joke, and as a not so subtle list of suggestions of what the dev can put into the game. Most of which, i think they did put into the game, so good job dev!
finally have trans on male content

I mean it's not like the game didn't tell you it was rigged:

Well, is there a definition which is sharp and always applies? Probably not. It is a sliding scale, and subjective at that as you pointed out. However, there's a difference between "this game includes cutting off the nipples of the girls you had sex with" and "this game features a character named Stacy and I have had really bad IRL experiences with a Stacy, not to forget Stacy's mom". Both these facts may deter you from playing or they may not, but I'd argue that there would be a common understanding which is more controversial.

The post you were referring to was talking about kinks often discussed on these forums, many with tags so people can avoid (or look for) the games in question. Yes, even that is often wonky and "when is X really starting to be X" is an open question, not only for the infamous NTR, but also for (male/female) domination, BDSM, to name just a few.

But I think we could say "so far everything outside of vanilla sex" (HJ, BJ, PiV) was optional, so it is a change of pace. Then again, the whole idea of "app domination" isn't optional and may be a big issue in itself.

I kind of felt like I should have given you a "facepalm" just so you wouldn't be disappointed, but I hate giving people a facepalm reaction unless they "earn" it like for asking about updates right after the Dev has made a post about updates :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
Sooooo, when is Week 3 coming out? And will it be normal or extended and what is the difference anyway? :whistle:

Yeah, a common expression. However for some reason you chose the occurence where the acting was worse than in your average amateur porn movie ;)
