Now I think I need to play this dark path with Viola you guys talked about. I'm quite curious.
Don't do it,really don't do it.. :cry::cry:
I can play any dark path,
but to do something violent to Viola,or see her in tears,
that would break my own heart.

Never,ever would i do anything to her,
and i would do everything to protect her from everything and everyone !!

Nicki is the only Dark scene I have seen in full and that one was hard for me to watch. While I played the dark path I skipped past the scenes the few renders I saw of the Viola one while skipping it was brutal for me and im glad I didn't see it.

I checked most of them out with URM, some are pretty bad like the Ashe one.

I think it's very funny that, when it was released, I got some bad reactions like, "GOD, the whole fucking story just stops for this stupid Halloween update?!"

Now, nobody even notices. :'D



We definitely haven't seen the last of Cherry. >_>



Any examples? In the last two updates we've seen (depending on your choices..): Nicki, Ashe, Viola, Alex, Brittani, Carolina, Risa, Mason, Gabby, Pepper, Madison, and Cassie. Granted, the Ashe content was minuscule, but Chapter 11 will have a decent amount of content dedicated to her. Don't get me wrong, I totally get wanting to see more of every character. But, I try to change up the A plot/B plot, and keep all the girls in circulation.

Chapter 11 will have an early focus on Cassie, before shifting focus to Gabby and Ashe, as they've been gone a bit. Ashe's content will also serve to set up Brittani's audition update. We'll also get a little montage to advance some developments with Viola, Alex, Mason, the bookstore, etc.

It'd be interesting to see what kind of backstory Alexandra Winterman aka Alex Maxima has got, since what's known atm about her is that she tore a ligament in her arm thus ruining her chances to become pro (and her women only gym took a bad hit after the Corona pandemic). Since she's going to train the protagonist in self-defence, there's a probability her story will be connected to a degree with Risa. I think the protagonist mentions a hypothetical big opponent to Alex in terms of size back at her gym, so that'll help him to hold his ground against Lucien (and find a way to overcome that big goon, since she showed a taser and told him to use any advantage possible in a fight). At the same time, Nicki had only one encounter with her and she doesn't like her much, so if Alex interacts further with the protagonist in the story, there might be another passive-aggressive encounter (or several) like what happened after the jacuzzi was installed. It'd be also cool to see Alex with her original blonde hair colour as well in a future update (since Gabby changed hers when she met the protagonist before they went with Madison at the police station to bail out Ryan). And I believe she's got a friend named Erika whom she mentions in a short video while she's eating fast food, so who knows if Alex's friend might appear in the story (and that Alex also abhors the game version of TikTok, it was a pity that the sign outside the building that said "Absolutely no filming your goddamn brikbloks!" didn't appear later on).

before shifting focus to Gabby and Ashe
A random question a propos of Gabby -- currently the only way to get on a romantic route with her seems to be getting pushy with her pretty much as soon as you spend a tiny bit of time with her in private. Is that how it's going to be, with no other opportunities to establish some sort of relationship other than friendly once her and MC actually get to know each other more?

Asking because the option really didn't sit well with me (the MC is effectively abusing both the power dynamic there *and* taking advantage of the girl's mental vulnerability from her fresh breakup) so i just picked to kiss her on the way out, which the game seemed to hint shifted her perception of MC somewhat, but as far as i can tell it didn't have any actual impact in the game, and what you get is basic "platonic friends" route.

Her and mason I don't eve have saves for. Their relationship and how you get them are creepy no matter how I try to spin it and justify it. I even pass on my bae, Brittani's 1st and only scene for the same reason...
I am afraid of future Viola as well, I can't really see how that doesn't feel like I'm taking advantage, probably just a friend in all my saves.

Waiting for alternatives that don't come in the worst time/place possible, feel predatory, or exploitative and diminish how I view the entire romance.

I'm not sure exactly how old Guy is supposed to be, but I don't see how any of these relationships can not feel somewhat predatory. Most of these girls are poor and some of them are roughly half MC's age (guessing mid-thirties somewhere?). That's part of the reason I stick with Nicki - she's at least a little older than people like Gabbi and Brittani and the prior relationship makes it feel a bit less predatory. At the very least Nicky isn't afraid to tell you if she feel uncomfortable about something.

yea, I can't go full dark on, it makes me feel like shit, but I will go the corruption route cuz giving Viola a naked hug while she's all wtf amuses me.

As of this writing, I can go full dark on only three and a half people: first-half Nikki, the waitress, the book shop owner, and Gabi. Going dark on Gabi makes me feel a little racist since she's the only black li, but at the moment, I still do it. :s

Erika's actually appeared in the Alex-centric mini-sode, .

And yeah, I was sad to cut that sign gag. I think it was just a matter of not wanting to have Guy lingering outside the door for too long. It just felt like it interrupted the flow of the scene.

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: My plan is to eventually redo Gabby's intro a bit. I laid out my plans on Discord, but basically: I'd like to add in a little time gap of a month or so, between taking Ashe home (or not) and visiting Gabby and Madison at home. The plan is to change that sequence up so that, instead of immediately deciding to buy in, Guy tells Madison that he wants to spend a month watching the business operate, and going over the books (literally and figuratively). During that time he'll note Ryan's continued absence, as well as Jamie and Gabby's contentious relationship. Then, when Gabby's blow-up occurs, it's not directed at a complete stranger, but someone she's actually grown (begrudgingly) friendly with. I think that'll then help the whole interaction at the Barron house feel more natural, since they have some familiarity with each other.

But, I do still plan to have the option for Gabby and Guy to hook up, if you never did anything with her previously. If you're on her friend route, she makes a very overt pass at Guy in Chapter 10, saying something to imply she needs someone more mature than Jamie in her life, and casting Guy some obvious fuck-me eyes.

Now, when will all this happen? It'll be a bit. My plan is to finish up Season 1, and then address some of these things where I can built the routes out, without dramatically changing too much.

No redeeming backstory....YET.

I know your kind.

You're going to let us all lock her in the sex dungeon under the Lawful Waffle, where we force her to carry 3 baby's in 30 months, with no assistance for her labor; only to reveal she's actually our long lost cousin whose father sold her into slavery at 6, only to be forced to work in a cotton factory tending to the spinning machines, until at 13 she escaped only to be captured by a sadist who, while he didn't have sex with her because she was under age, he did lock her in a cage between whippings 5 times a week over the course of 3 years!!!

I know your kind.....

Oh, I don't know dude - that one may break your tender heart. Next thing you know, you'll be in here claiming romance is dead, and kissing a girl is gay, or whatever that nonsense Andy Taint has been spouting from inside his very large walk in closet.
