hey guys, is there a way of getting an old version of this game? i remember it was way better when there was no closing choice, fitness, when you could confront the thief in park without reading the newspapper and you didnt had to wait for couple of days for getting the chemistry suplyes and so on.. now its overcoplicated for no reason and the character arcs are still not finished so whats the point?
Fitness is only important for one easily avoidable event but it does also increase your stamina which affects how much mind control you can do before you need to stop. Useful but not vital.
Confronting the thief without reading about it first was a bug. Needed fixing.
Not waiting for chemical delivery? What version was that?! In any case it's just two working days. Not going to kill you.
It's not really complicated at all.
Character arcs with the exception of Claire Fuzushi's (and April Raymund, who doesn't have one) are finished and accounted for.
Most of them are complete. Jenny Coppers/Diana King still has an unresolved path but their Slut path is done.
The 1.10 Beta testing is going well. We're finding instances of things that need fixing or are small such as typos. Things are also being added but I'm sworn to silence on that so that's all I'll say on it.
We're not sharing a release date as it is impossible to determine at this time.
Let's see who has arcs that are functionally complete:
Beth, Nina, Jessica, Susan, Peter, Carmen, Sierra, Karin, June, Rie, Hana, Daisy, Annette, Felicia and Sandra.
Ronda Bells, Carl Walker and Lucas Hudson are in the "maybe" pile.
Claire Fuzushi has beginning of an arc but her writer left before doing much at all with it.
Sayoko doesn't count. She doesn't have an actual existing paper doll in the game.
If you actually feel that that game is too complicated because they've fixed things then you're doing it wrong.
Watch your reputation and your limited starting funds and everything will be fine.
Working on your fitness takes two hours out of your day.
Lockpicking is a pain in the arse but there is a mod that makes it skippable.
Hacking is simple.
Photoshopping starts another quest (at a skill level of around 25) and increases quite quickly.
Chemistry can feel like the longest grind but it's not that bad, really.
Don't overcorrupt things too quickly - like getting the sexy cheerleader outfits when they first ask for new uniforms. That's a massive hit to reputation. You can't take too many of those.
Same with the sexy school uniform. Don't rush to it.
This game is a slow burn and it was designed to be so.
