As you see here:

A compressed version is not (yet) avaiable for 0.11.1. I do believe somewhere on the forum would have a compress game request thread, although I didn't find it on my quick search. Other than that there is a patch that allows you to update your game. We can't help more than that.

I want to say a few things before I log off for a small while. I am obviously not expecting to make a response to this due to personal reasons and grief, so if one would like to respond, feel free.

First thing, could you reformat your text? Between 1., 2., ... would be nice to have space otherwise I be a little batter by the wall of text.

1. and 3. is for me (and should be) normal human behaviour. Shouldn't be needed to add this to a post in my view, yet I know some others can't distinguish between their own view point and fact as well as request, opinion and demands.

4. I really want to have Lin in bondage, by her own free will and for our pleasure. I don't know if Lin will be freeded at the end, that possibility is up to Runey. Yet I know that Lin will be free, from the beginning she was for me free.

5. MAGA? Make America Great Again? Would help to have the abbr. defined. At least for myself my mother tongue isn't english and I often don't know them.
ASOIF? Association of Summer Olympic International Federations?
Other than that, I see it mostly the same.

6. I didn't really have a problem with Vanessa. Sure she is a bitch and I agree that writting could have be done otherwise. The inside joke between her and Mala (?) about the MC wasn't very clear for me and Kali and the MC were most passive in the scene. Yet I don't know what they could say or do that would have change Vanessas's view of them.

The MC now owns not only the one slave elf that he had inherited, but 5 more that he actualy brought himself. Even if this was for the "greater" good, I don't think that Vanessa would believe them, as Nia and Sylvia hasn't believed the MC and Lin, when they first meet.
From her one-sided view he is a slave owner, a landlord and the boyfriend of the Tereano girl. If she would know that he also interact with Cornwall and Autums family, I think, she would see us as enemy number one. So I think, she needs time to see, interact and have first hand expirence with the MC and his cohort before she will change. And from what I know about Runey, this will most likely also involve something sexy.

Why do I think about a scene with MC, Lin and Vanessa. Where MC finds to Lin in the mail, coffee shop or wahtever "strip", Lin take her cloths off, Vanessa goes around the "Evil slave owner force his twisted will on his defenceless slave". Then Lin strip, explain and convice Vanessa to do the same. And on top off it, some of Vanessa's friend see it and later make fun of it because the "righteous" Vanessa has also strip for the "evil slave owner".

It's true that the game has become more overtly and pervasively political than it was at the start, but the issues/politics have been there from the beginning.

And as I explained, this isn't enough to say the story is political (at that point)
Imagine this scenario: TV drama about a dysfunctional family, where the waife asks for the divorce at some point, but the father insists on keep going to raise the kids together.
This on its own isn't political, but at most, a moral dilemma about what to prioritize, your own well being or your children's.

Just because there is something political, that is to say, the divorce, doesn't mean the story is political. Its a moral drama, at most.
Now, if in the next 20 episodes we go through the intricacies of marriage, the history of how it got separated from the church and became a state contract, and political parties talking about the value of a nuclear family, then I can grant you, it became a political story, to a degree.

I don't feel like the absence of one line pushing back at Vanessa really would have changed the tone of the theme.

I just disagree on this. It would've absolutely changed the whole tone if she got some push-back. I will refer, yet again, to the previous update where Kali pushed back.

You insist on projecting stuff onto Runey that he just doesn't believe. It's not a good look.

You may want to re-read our my and Runey's previous exchange. He literally told me "I get that you would've pushed back, but MC isn't like that. He is a nice guy, and he sit, listened, and got educated" I am paraphrasing it, but I don't feel like going through that again.
I don't particularly care about my looks, if you haven't noticed by all my snipes at Runey, but I care about getting things straight and clearly: Runey thinks that "a nice guy" would sit down and get educated by this blackmailing bitch.

There are all sorts of ways for media to convey a message, and not all of them involve a character explicitly voicing the message. If you want a character in the story to tell you "The moral of the story is X", that's fine, but it's unreasonable to get mad when that doesn't happen. Reading subtext is a pretty essential skill for analyzing media, and I don't feel like you applied it to this scene.

As I said, thats fine on a meta level. The tone of the scene itself, free of "audience reading subtext" is solely determined by what happens and what the characters do about it.

Anyway, I think I'm done with this conversation. It's not going anywhere. Feel free to respond to this message, since there's no reason I should have the last word just because I'm dropping the conversation.

Thanks for the nice chat. I appreciate the polite tone through it, just to let you know.
We can just disagree on how this scene was portrayed and leave it at that.

I'm also having the issue where the sports day expansion for the bar is not appearing even though I've bought all the upgrades. Also, I've bought Peni but she's never shown up. Running 11.1 and have lains mod

Hoping to find a convenient well to push Vanessa into; few things are as annoying as ivory tower activists that ignore the people they 'champion'.

It's not that she ignores them. It's that she ignores them when it is convenient for her. The elves exist only as tools to aid in her moralizing power grab.

She wont be as pissy in v0.12, once she knows your not the bad person she assumed you were.

The fact that she assumed it in the first place already speaks volumes about her character and the person she is. Not only did she assume, she held it over her classmate, made a public scene, and practically force marched you down to a library to get "educated". There's really no narrative way to make any of those three seem like decent human beings at this point.

I would like to know which parts you saw as real world politics in that event, or how these characters were one dimensional.

They are one dimensional because they have an overly simplistic worldview and no room has been left for them to grow and develop. Vanessa went into a self-righteous tirade at the very mention of the word 'slave'. There was no room for context or nuance or any actual thought in her world. Nor any consideration for anothers thoughts or feelings on the matter. She doesn't even show consideration for the basic human dignity of the people she's screaming at. Again she calls them out right in public in front of whoever might be in class, branding Kali based on what she has assumed in her own mind the situation is. The fact that she may be aware she has a fault does not make her even two-dimensional unless it she ends up growing because of it. But she obviously doesn't care about it because knowledge of it certainly limit her behaviour to Kali and the MC.

This to me seems fairly two dimensional.

I don't think you understand what a two dimensional character is. At least if you were trying to give her faults, like you said. Two dimensional characters don't have faults because they are just archtypes that are meant to fade into the background and flesh out the story. They don't have things like actual histories or personalities.

What you seem to mean is that you were trying to make her a three dimensional character, but you forgot the other two dimensions.

I don't understand why Runey is being criticized for portraying one of the most realistic characters in the whole game. I'm currently in college, I'm surrounded by people who think like Vanessa. They're passionate about an issue(and I think we can all agree that slavery is something that we should condemn), and despite being narrow-minded as fuck, I wouldn't call them "bad people".

She(and those people in my University) is basically Hermione from Harry Potter. In fact, I'd be pretty surprised (although I won't speak for Runey) if the elf-slave storyline isn't at least partially inspired by S.P.E.W. I can definitely see Hermione dragging a person who owns a house-elf to the library to "educate them" on elf rights.

Would you consider Hermione to be a completely trash human being? This pushback to "cancel" Vanessa is completely baffling to me - did you also stop reading Harry Potter because Hermione was being a self-righteous prick, emailing J.K Rowling to kill Hermione off in the next book?

**On a side note, hate J.K Rowling and what she did to the series for SJW bonus points, but I think the inclusion of the S.P.E.W storyline was OK.

Also, is this the first time that you saw a self-righteous character, or a downright asshole featured in a porn game? Roxxy in SummerTime Saga, Maddison in Radiant...it's basically a cliche at this point.

God, just because Runey indulges your bullshit doesn't mean that you have the right to act like assholes. The game is great, and I'm looking forward to 0.12

Many of the characters in this game have given poor first impressions. Kali was a bitch, Ashley was a yandere, Emma and Felicity were bullying bitches and Autumn was a close minded fundamentalist. Each one of those characters has changed over time as we've gotten to know them better and as they've matured. I'm certain we'll see the same with Vanessa.

Adds another girl to the game. The only one with real powers. But it's recommended to to that after all the main girls join the hotel, otherwise it won't make sense what she does with you.

 

[Jjgh]

gotcha

so how many more main girls can I expect? last one to move in for me so far was Autumn which I'm avoiding... dont much care for the self-righteous religious nut cases...

 

[kage1822]

just had the event that introduced Sylvia... as much as I can't stand her, should've had Autumn come into that whole scene...
