This is because you’re using a save that was generated from a beta version of Chapter 3, without all the final variables. Load a save from the end of Chapter 2, and the problem should resolve itself.

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with my tech query! Y'all the real MVPs.

Mason's first big saucy scene is 95% rendered. I had to skip a few renders until I could find the right assets, but luckily I found

:D

So, I've spent this morning editing and collaging renders where necessary. While I was at it, I decided to redo a few entirely. Here's a nice example of how a little extra time and attention can make something feel way more dynamic. Before and after!

With all the images combined into their final forms, some discarded, etc. current total renders stand at 914.



That whole little segment with the hallway and bathroom was meant to evoke point-and-click adventure games, or old survival horror games ala Clock Tower, Resident Evil, Dino Crisis.. Which is why Guy kind of lampshades it by pointing out what a spooky hallway it is. My plan was originally to make the bathroom a point-and-click thing, where you could click on certain objects to find clues and gather items. But, I ran out of time to code it, so that idea died on the vine. I'd like to go back and fix it, though.

But, stay tuned to see how they're used.



I don't want to spoil anything, but here's a teaser I posted to the Patreon for New Years, teasing what 2023 might hold.

Actually, I just finally completed my darkmc playthrough and saw the Ashe pic. I now see why some people.. well, potentially huge spoilers ahead.. also, it's an exhaustive wall of text:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Ok, I'm clearly spending way too much time thinking about this :ROFLMAO: I think this is the THC talking. Anyways, mainly I just wanted to say to the author that I started a 2nd playthrough going for max love points with all the girls. I was originally going to just be the 100% angellic nice guy the whole way, but I realized in the first scene that this doesn't get you love points with Nikki... found out that it's in the humiliation route, hmm, strange I'm thinking. But, I REALLY enjoyed reading through it and how Nikki reacted differently with her love points maxxed, and Guy is still.. well, a nice guy by the end of it; was basically a wholesome humiliation route that Nikki was clearly completely into. So, I decided that, eh, fuck it, I actually want to be the most desirable Guy that each and every one of the ladies fall in love with, while being 100% totally wholesome can come second to that. And I loved every second of it... totally got to pop a gasm while enjoying nice dialogue and character development.

EDIT: Actually, I think Nikki's character and motivations makes more sense to me now, too. She's clearly turned on by humiliation, but on her terms; so she seeks this in the men she's intimate with... but, the men she ends up with aren't 100% consensual or mutual about it, they actually mean what they say. This makes her feel guilty and ashamed because she technically wants what they do, just not in the way they do it... Guy's love route with her has him treat her how she wants to be treated, yet not actually mean anything he said... it's a kinky game for him, not a narcissistic outlet without any real love or respect behind it. Her ex-bf and all the other men after that (tattoo guy, porn shoot rapist guys, etc.) draw her in, yet don't give her what she's actually after... and that's why she returns to Guy, I think, regardless of your route. She feels drawn in; on the love route, though, she feels more than drawn in, all the while still liking being degraded a little here and there. I think to the audience, it can appear that she's contradicting herself, but if we were actually in her head, she's really not; it's like wanting a positive, loving S&M relationship, but you keep getting toxic, abusive ones. This also means we can know for sure she wouldn't cheat on Guy even though she... ya' know, cheated with Guy; she's only capable of cheating on her bf because she doesn't actually love him and he treats her like shit... that's basically everyone's position, though, really... and yet she still felt guilty about it. And Guy doesn't treat her like that on her love route; he's the real deal for her, exactly what she wants in a man. Wouldn't be surprised if Nikki's conclusion on her dark route is that she... surprise, surprise, finds another abusive guy that draws her in... and replaces Guy.

Ok, so yeah, wall over: thanks again for the 100th time Daddy Neon :love::giggle::oops::confused: er.. wait.. that didn't come out right... :unsure::whistle:

Anyways, thx :ROFLMAO:

EDIT: I shortened and refined the ramble a little... I'm really sorry about the wall guys, I feel pretty silly after the fact.. :ROFLMAO:

Some proof reading I made.
Without so much as a goodbye, Tessa ended the call. Making a face at her phone, Viola shook her head.

“Suka blyat,” she muttered.

Really a beautiful history of a beautiful artistic character.
this is a beautiful girl you never want to hurt,
you want to protect her,love her.

from the point of view of an author himself,
really beautiful,NeonGhosts

Everything is in this prehistory,
artistic struggles,erotic blossoming desires for the dark unknown she wants to discover.
but at the same time a sad financial situation with her mother,
which she does everything she can to get out,
but which other people want to take advantage of and exploit her sad situation at the same time.

as i say,
a beautiful young girl far too good for this world,
a very good history of this character. !!
