Another one is the "jessicarough" point you're supposed to get when you take control and cum down her throat.
I went through all the variables and checked them and fixed all the ones that had issues. I appreciate everyone pointing them out! I'll probably have a bug fixed version out soon, going to give it another day or two incase anything else pops up

Good to know. I was about to play the update today, I might just wait for the bugfix version. Let others find them this time. :ROFLMAO:

FYI, if you remove Jessica as an LI.

I like the game, but I have one major gripe. The game, thus far, and especially in this latest update, feels entirely too Jessica-centric. She's not really my cup of tea, but if you avoid her route, huge chunks of the game are skipped over. About 90% of this update is skipped if not on her route, and 100% of lewd scenes are missed.

Remveer I'd highly recommend separating out some more of the other girls paths from Jessica's. Seph has to be the most popular LI among players, but 80% of her scenes are dependent on being on being on Jessica's path.

Things would probably flow a lot better, and be more fulfilling, if instead of just skipping over the Jessica path-locked plotlines, they were replaced with other plotlines based on avoiding Jessica. For example, when MC brings Jessica home to "watch a movie", and runs into Seph in the hall, you get a chance for a Seph point, that adds some nice dialogue to the scene later, when he knocks the water bottles off her dresser. If you avoid Jessica's route, you can't get that point for Seph, which takes away from that scene. So, instead of just cutting that whole scene, it would be much better to make an alternate scene where MC and Seph can interact after MC comes back from the gym alone, that gives another opportunity to pick up that missed Seph point.

In this update, the whole bowling double-date scene, which makes up like 90% of the whole update, is cut out if not on Jessica's path, which basically makes the update not worth playing at all, and removes Sarah's entire existence from the game, btw. You could add an alternative scene option where MC and Seph(and perhaps Kelly and/or Mom) decide to go bowling together. This would also allow you to introduce Sarah to players not on the Jessica path. There's a ton of missed opportunities for advancing LIs other than Jessica with that, and it would make the choice of whether to pursue Jessica or not infinitely more meaningful, while also making the game more than 10 minutes long if you avoid her.

I'm really hoping the next update will have a bigger focus on Seph and Mom, but based on the camping trip and the party, I have a feeling it's mostly going to be about Sarah, who seems extremely unpleasant and unlikeable so far.

I am suddenly feeling a lot more secure in my decision to keep Jessica as a LI.


Also if he removes any hand holding or head pats from her path. I was just playing Final Fantasy and Cloud was holding Aerith's hand. So I need more of that
No promises, the missionary only version seems to be doing well in some circles.

Jessica best girl just saying gonna be sad when she goes away for a little but I forget when that is and why lol
She's on summer break from college, so she'll have to make her way back for classes once the summer ends. She wont be going away necessarily just wont have as much screen time as she currently does.

thanks for the reminder I thought it was something liek that but wasn't sure. Yeah I figured she would have less time till she makes a reappearance didn't think she was going away exactly , just won't be around for awhile.

It feels Jessica centric at the moment because the other main characters I've introduced have mostly been slow burns. And as a porn game I doubt players want to play an update with zero lewd content thus Jessica is doing the heavy lifting in that department right now. I'd say this update is only around 50% Jessica though. Lianna is a part of 3 of the 5 "scenes" this update.

I'll start by saying there definitely some validity to what you're suggesting. Specifically the missed Seph point and the Water bottle scene dialogue, I can definitely look into way to separate those and possibly other scenes from the Jessica path. As far as creating separate plotlines based on if your not on the Jessica path I'm not a big fan of that for two reasons. (1) I hate playing vn's where the optimal play is to avoid content with one main LI because it happens to give me a "better" scene/scenes with another main LI I like more. I never want to force the player into having to make that choice. I do and will continue to make efforts to have the story make sense if you're not on a certain characters path. There may be small scenes here and there that differ, but I think anything more substantial should not be locked behind having a player turn down a LI. and (2) That would create a whole lot more work that I'd rather spend on a scene everyone will get an opportunity to see. I've already planned out how to "introduce" Sarah if you're not on the Jessica path in the next update.


I'm really hoping the next update will have a bigger focus on Seph and Lianna, but based on the camping trip and the party, I have a feeling it's mostly going to be about Sarah, who seems extremely unpleasant and unlikeable so far.
That was the vibe I was going for with her so good to see it stuck. While Sarah's party will be the climax of the next update I wouldn't consider her to be the focus. She will ultimately only be present during the party and will be relatively avoidable should the player choose.

Thank you very much for the in-depth response. I agree with you on most everything you said, and you hit me with every counterargument I was expecting to get, which is fantastic. Though, the Jessica scenes, even if not the majority of the scenes, did at least feel like the majority of the actual play time. Lianna's scenes were wonderful, but not terribly long.

I definitely see your point about the slow-burn romances, which I do really like. I may be in the minority here, but I'd rather wait 5 updates for the first lewd scene than have early scenes with a character I dislike. Unfortunately for me, in this case, the only thing I don't like about Jessica is that she's so quick to jump into bed with MC. She just seems a bit too slutty for my tastes. I get that she is a head cheerleader, and a college girl, so being inexperienced would be fairly unlikely, but the fact that she compared MC to prior lovers during sex is an automatic turn-off/dealbreaker for me(as well as a pretty large portion of the harem fan demographic). Removing that one line of dialogue would probably go a long way to making Jessica a more popular LI, and lead to less people wanting to avoid her.

(1) I hate playing vn's where the optimal play is to avoid content with one main LI because it happens to give me a "better" scene/scenes with another main LI I like more.

I 100% agree with you here. I also hate having to choose between LIs/scenes, especially in a harem game. I actually just played a "harem" game where basically every girl you accept locks out 1 or more other girls from the harem. Had to play it through 3 times to get all the scenes, which was just tedious by the end.

I also understand the extra workload issues. I'm glad you're at least looking into fixing the Seph point issue. Minor splits based on paths, like you suggested, seems like a good compromise in terms of dev time. It sounds like it'll get better once Jessica heads back to college, and takes a backseat for a while.

I am looking forward to future updates. Thanks for your hard work.

I've read a story with this exact same name, and a very similar - if not identical - premise on either Literotica or XNXX Stories or somewhere else.

It's unique enough not to be a coincidence - I'll have to put this on my to-play list and compare.

While we are of the opposite opinion when it comes to Jessica. I very much agree with this. I prefer slow burn romance myself even with a character I dislike but I don't really play for the porn really , so it's easier for me not to care about it as long as I can get into the story or characters.

But also like you I generally do dislike slutty characters that jump into bed quickly. Jessica I don't even remember why I like her she is an exception. I guess from the conversations other than the sex part she never seemed overly slutty to me maybe just only a little bit if at all for me. But honestly even slutty characters I dislike I do give a chance. As I found sometimes a character may start slutty and over time turn to be a great character and not come across as a slut to me anymore.
