Harem routes tend not to make sense storywise. These characters have their own personalities, motivations, agendas. They wouldn't voluntarily become MC's inferior playthings. If you openly pursue more at once, you can expect conflicts. They talk to each other. You can't please everyone. :)
I do want to say that just because a story is has a harem, it by no means would make the Ladies the MC's playthings.
I read a metric asston of harem fiction.
There is some fantastic stories there, there are some bad ones, and there is awful ones.

Want to know what makes the good ones, good?
When you have a talented writer who understands you can have detailed and nuanced characters who want to be with the MC because they grow to care for him and (in some stories) grow to love the women that are part of the relationship and understand that just because the MC loves another in the relationship, doesn't mean he loves this character any less.

People have successful polyamorous relationships all the time, with or without power exchange.
Is it a minority of relationships in most modern cultures? Absolutely.
Does that mean all works of fiction set in the myriad futures/pasts/other realities have to stick with the standard one male/one female relationship formula? Absolutely not.

Basically what I'm saying is harem should never be discounted as an unbelievable relationship type. Just because a bunch of shit writers use the Magic Cock trope to short cut a harem doesn't mean a talented writer can't use polygyny to craft a beautiful and believable story with strong characters.


All that being said though, I'm pretty sure that's not what Notty is going for and I fully support her telling the story the way she wants to. I'll just wait for a talented modder/walkthrough writer to find me the right path for maximum bang for my playthrough. lol

That's actually not a bad idea, as I happen to also make a walkthrough. I'll see if I can add a path like that. Very uncertain how good it'd be towards future chapters, but yeah, it can be attempted. Thanks. :)

Enjoyed Aniie,sarah paths but in Kelly path I dont want to let chris anywhere her so didnt try her path in this update.. Can anyone confirm that i could be on kelly path and dont let chris anywhere near kelly ?
Chris interacts with Kelly regardless of your chosen paths. You only learn that the traffic controller is Kelly on the second day so there is nothing you can do prevent them from meeting. The best thing you can do to limit their interactions is to decline a wager Chris suggests at the beginning of Chapter Two, I think, which theoretically gives Chris less incentive to chase her. The wager isn't necessary to progress.

There really isn't any content with Kelly that wouldn't involve Chris yet (what happens in Three is Kelly's initiative), so you might as well skip this path until the next chapter.

Finally pledged to be a Lieutenant this month, although going to have to take it down to ensign next month.
Thank you. It all helps to move me forward to that second PC and I completely understand shuffling tiers.

Great update! I'm enjoying how it branches all over so readily, and happy to be a patron. :)
Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoy my stuff and support really does make a difference. The sooner I get a second rig the faster I'll get, so thank you. Thanks also for the sig support. H5 is a little known game and so the visibility will really help get it out there.

Short and great = great!
Long and great = the average teen boy MC in the droll AVNs that can't touch Heavy Five
:D

Nottravis I think that should say "Looks like" 1604261437935.png

also is it possible to hide the textbox during free-roam? I have the opacity slider slightly on (so I can read the text easier) but it stays up all the time.

Nope. That's how I'd say it, so the MC says it that way too :). Don't expect actual dialogue to be grammar perfect, especially with some of the characters (who will also use their native slang at points) That's a choice on my part as opposed to poor English in order to reflect how people actually talk.

As to the textbox, sadly not but I'll look to put a toggle switch in for C4. I'd imagined players would have it at zero, only boosting it if the text was to hard too read on some backgrounds but I think this would be easy to code in.

Can't believe that I'm still finding new scenes even now. Have to say that the Channel 7 segment where you lampshade the whole Mother - Landlady trend made me laugh a lot.

I am curious about a few things. The password to the website, it is something that can be found in-game? Because I tried so many times that my head is starting to hurt.

Do you plan on adding more girls to the Rock, Paper, Scissors game in future chapters? Also, how did you decide on Becca being the one that you can play against? (honestly, I believe that she played Rock, Paper, Scissors with Jane, to see who would be the host and she lost :LOL:).

Speaking of which, I wanted to commend you on the audio side of the game. I thought that most songs fit their respective scenes well and I also found a nice beat to play Rock, Papers, Scissors on.

I also wanted to thank Akamari for his guide. It really helped me out in figuring some additional paths, especially with Trisha. I don't know why but I never refused her when she asked me to go to the mine with her (well, I know why but let's pretend I don't :giggle:).
