Oh boy, you were 100% spot on. This felt like going from 0 to 200mph under less than 1 second.If you are not RPing a real masochist, then it may be too much.
Didn't think you'd focus so much on her after school life. That's huge but don't you think the stat system isn't adequate to a run that is supposed to last 10 years of game time ?So the roadmap is
Year 1 - Pav school, school kids, random events around Pav, family
Year 2 - transition to the uni, some of the pav kids stories updated and then moved to the uni, adding in degree's classes etc and filling out the uni
Year 3 - focus on filling out the uni, more classes, degree's, and expanding the uni students/professors story arcs
Year 4 - Same as year 3 only adding to the next year
Year 5 - Same as above.
Year 6 - Post school years, either post Uni or post pav if the Uni is skipped, main focus will be on expanding the jobs, giving them a lot more depth, adding NPC's to them that you can do story arcs with etc
Year 7 - Long term relationship, marriage, furthering career/job
Year 8 - Starting a family of your own, having kids and expanding career/job
How to start Lariska Mom Arc?Oh boy, you were 100% spot on. This felt like going from 0 to 200mph under less than 1 second.
I really enjoyed Lariska's mom's arc. That eased My Sveta into BDSM. The BDSM hotel skipped everything and went straight to the most brutal BDSM practices.
I wanted to slow it all down now to match the 8 year scale, but most didn't. So instead we slow it down as we get years filled out. Right now that we are doing year two of the game it is slowly than it was back when we was still focusing on year one. When we get to year 3 things will be changed in the code to slow it down again. I personally don't like that, but I was out voted.Didn't think you'd focus so much on her after school life. That's huge but don't you think the stat system isn't adequate to a run that is supposed to last 10 years of game time ?
Eventually maybe but at the moment the focus has been on pav school, pav school kids, now the uni and uni kids have been the bigger focuses. Some jobs like the modeling job and the main job have a fair bit of content, but that hasn't been the main focus.Given how quick we increase the physical attributes, her different skills and how quick her morality can decrease, the game give more the impression that the main focus is just her at 17 and 18. That's why for me the mst important things was to get content for her direct family and part time job, 'cause more than half the game seems to be about that.
The uni is the middle part of the game.In my head the university was the very end game and not much was going to be adressed there.
It's weird to perceive any possible evolution in Sveta personality and skill during and after the Uni ark, when you are able to completely switch her appearance and behavior in the first 3-4 months of the game.
I didn't write it, Anya did. But I think you can start it by doing larriska story arc until you unlock her home and from there you can interact with her mom and you just start it by interacting with her.How to start Lariska Mom Arc?
How to start Lariska Mom Arc?
The one I started was through working at the hotel in the market. You run into her a few times while cleaning rooms. If you stay and watch, then that triggers a dialog where she invites you to go talk to her Monday and Tuesday at 20:00. During those sessions, she explains basically what BDSM is, and you can either try some props yourself (sub route) or have her try them (dom route). Not a lot of content there yet, but enough to feel some immersion.But I think you can start it by doing larriska story arc until you unlock her home and from there you can interact with her mom and you just start it by interacting with her.
Are there any plans to finish off some of the half-baked arcs during the high school year? Like relationship with classmates; that weird side quest teaching Rolan how to cook; mail-office delivery job; Volleyball coach; therapist, etc?I didn't write it, Anya did.

Yes to the kids as most of them will be moving onto the Uni and their stories continue there.Are there any plans to finish off some of the half-baked arcs during the high school year? Like relationship with classmates; that weird side quest teaching Rolan how to cook; mail-office delivery job; Volleyball coach; therapist, etc?
I really appreciate everything the developers are doing. This is an awesome game, probably the best in this genre by far. My only suggestion is that it would help with immersion if some of those arcs are more finished.
Your team is mostly focused on university content, but most new players might not ever get there in their first few play through.
That was me that posted it, I recently posted it here as well. I think it is 2 or 3 pages back now. Just under half the students have story arc content. While almost all of them have a few one off scenes. Like I don't count Marcus on the list which I will post again at the end of this, but he has like 6-7 full events. He is on the higher end, most of them have 2-5 full events though, that will be eventually reworked and tied into longer story arcs.I would like to like this game more, but for me the game turns to random wandering pretty quickly as the game offers very little on guidance on what parts are "finished" and Wiki is very limited. For example, most of the class mates don't seem to have any content. I did find a post at the TFGames forum where somebody listed the classmates with the most content so something similar for the other parts would be helpful (stuff X is unfinished ends quickly, stuff Y has full plot, stuff Z has repeatable scenes etc).
Starlets is suppose to be a jock social group story arc, cool kids can do it but it was not designed for them. Similar to cheerleading being a jock and cool kid story arc, and DnD game night is a nerd story arc. More such group story arcs will be coming, the gopnik ones are waiting on the pav police revamp to be finished which might be this release.I also found Starlets and some other content to too time limited: multiple times per week in a fairly tight time limit. Very easy to miss if you get caught doing something else. This is made worse because many of the events don't give advance information on how long whatever it is lasts. Not sure how the other after school content like the cheerleading compares to it.
I wanted the school to feel more filled out, originally I have 4 people helping me on the school. The quickly turned into 1 and then it turned into just different devs would grab one or two NPC's and claim them as their pet projects. Which means most of the students only have me working on them and I am doing most of the Uni work. So needless to say it is slow, I am hoping we get more people wanting to write to take over a pav student NPC in time. But we will see.For comparison Degrees of Lewdity has fever named characters but (at least it seems to me) most of them have content in their relevant location(s). Eg. no 20 named classmates if they don't have any content. Time required to do the thing is also shown more reliably. I have never really felt like I missed something because I was one hour too late in DoL. Stuff generally waits for the player. It might not be realistic but it definitely makes the game more enjoyable to play.
Holidays is on our short list of things to add including birthday parties for Sveta and NPC's. GL has very few hard time limited ones. Obviously New Years party is for obvious reasons, then Starlets and Sonia's fall as stated and a few others but 90% are not hard time limited.Obviously DoL has some time limited stuff (Halloween and Christmas events, Wraith etc) so I don't have anything against like those, the limits are just way more forgiving. Eg. most of the jobs can be done at any time during the opening hours, weekly jobs/tasks can be done at anytime during the week (with some exceptions) etc.
Apart from what I mentioned, on top of my mind, I'd love to see continuation of the following tooetc can't say as that could be a lot of stuff.
1) As mentioned the Rex party is getting a complete revamp and expanded a lot, it is nearly done but due to RL I don't think Anya will get it finished this update.Apart from what I mentioned, on top of my mind, I'd love to see continuation of the following too
1. content with sister's bf's party
2. Lariska's mom
3. Vicky/Katja's house
4. Albina's mom maybe? I get the vibe that something is planned for her?
5. real dad
I mentioned about Rolan earlier because his story arc was all bones and very little meat. Also, it runs into an abrupt end after Sveta painted his wall with his grandma's ashes. But I completely understand he's not a priority. I originally thought maybe his home can be acted as a new home for Sveta if she's kicked out by mom.
I don't have anything to do with Anna (Lariska's mother) - That was supposed to be a Kevin project. That's why she has no content in the house and the mystery door stays locked for now. What Anna content there is was from someone I don't know on TFGS. That was all they intended to contribute as far as I know.1) As mentioned the Rex party is getting a complete revamp and expanded a lot, it is nearly done but due to RL I don't think Anya will get it finished this update.
2) Anya does that as well so it likely won't get anything for some time, as family punishment comes after the party and that is all Anya's projects along with Christina and Lina.
3) It is being worked on, again doubt anything comes this release. Derryl is doing that while working on Vicky, Vanya, and Tamara. This update she is focused on getting Vicky and Vanya to the Uni I believe.
4) I have no clue, only thing with Albina I am aware of is getting her in the Uni as well.
5) nothing planned and no one has shown a interest in working on him that I am aware of
As for Rolan, that was THX very first project and as far as I know it was finished. He has not mentioned ever adding to it.
You have to visit him in hotel closed to market zone.The therapist told me to meet him on Saturdays at 20:00 to be his wife. I can't seem to access that. If I go to his office, it would just be a typical session. Is that arc available?
He also mentioned something about his daughter and sheer clothing, I also can't find where that is.
Also, does pregnancy leads to anything yet in the therapist arc?
That is the end for now, I just have not had time to do a follow up. Maybe next update I will have time.Is there more content with Artem and Anushka? I invited Anu to have a 3some (angry sex), and mentioned to invite her again for Artem. But there is no option to invite her.
Is that the end of that plot line?
