A few thoughts on Version 9:

To me this was a very therapeutic update all around, and man am I glad Mc grabbed Charlotte’s hand and stopped her from leaving because if he hadn’t and this continued on any longer… I know she still didn’t fully tell the story of her attack, but at least something positive came out of it. She’s starting open up to Mc and trust him more which is a win in my book. Those two had some adorable moments throughout this update.

Shoutout to Emma for laying it on thick regarding Mc’s birthday gift for Charlotte, wingman vibes. It’s the least she could do after Dad-Zoning Mc.

Big sister Suzi coming to the rescue and kicking the "Mean Girls" asses was of course one of my favorite moments of the version, I was happy to see that at least someone got what they deserved. This also made love and admiration level for Suzi skyrocket. Suzi, by the way is seemingly getting more sexier each update to me.

I still don’t really trust Kaylah, I don’t know why, however, I feel if there’s even a slight chance of Mc and Emma becoming an item, I think Kaylah’s gonna be the key by showing Emma how to “express” herself and letting loose. This was a long and brutal wait, but it was definitely worth it.

Lastly, Charlotte is easily in my top 10, maybe top 5, as the most beautiful character ever created. She’s perfection.

Please don't let Emma still be hung up on this Zak asshole, she was already making excuses for him after the fact she him fucking Jenny. Wise up my love, but that's the results of leaving a sheltered life.

Unfortunately, she's a girl without any experience, she has no previous relationships, so she doesn't know. She thinks Zack left Jenny in the morning for her, so she starts making excuses for him and starts blaming Jenny for trying to steal Zack from her. What I see now is that her reaction is normal, I don't like that Of course, but if she had forgotten about Zack and walked away from him after the party, it wouldn't have made any sense. We just hope MC can save her before Zack carries out his plan.

I did not regret waiting for the full version, this way it was one continuous experience. Also, the update seemed kinda long, but I was surprised where it ended. Of course, waiting meant that I was spoiled with Suzi's scene, which was really badass. To answer JenMistress - no, Suzi can't do that job full time, since she is training for the National Swimming Team and has her own Uni education to take care of.

At first I thought there was a little inconsistency, that Kaylah did not put that little box back where Emma found it (one shelf to the right), but after re-checking that's a non-issue. However, I am surprised that nobody mentioned the "highlight" of the update, that...

Glad you enjoyed it. And sorry I still haven't dealt with that bug. I haven't forgotten about it!

Speaking of which, should Kaylah really take Emma to a photo shooting I want the MC to be there, so that nobody tries any funny business (as told by Char why she stopped Emma taking).

I would hope so, at this point I feel like everyone is suspicious. Last thing I want is Emma in a situation similar to Charlotte, where the photographer is a handsy creep.

Lucy is a simple plot device to allow the dev to have sex scenes, without rushing into the Charlotte / Emma "good stuff". If you look at it like that, then Lucy's character serves a purpose

If Lucy is there just for the sex then why isn't there any?

 

[quorkboy]

You don't really think the MC would let Emma go anywhere without him?; other than school (which he has to) and the party (where it would have been weird if he'd gone in with her) I don't think there's any chance he's letting her out of his sight (see how he reacted when he learned she'd left the school without him.)

Looking over the conversation with Kaylah, it didn't sound like they would be going to a photo session, but to meet a designer. So there's a chance the MC could go with her. He might also be allowed in to a photo session (not sure what rules they have about that but personal security could be an exception to those rules.) You can be sure that if not allowed in he'll be right outside. And Kaylah will be in there with Emma. It's no doubt the pattern that the creeps get girls alone and won't try anything with two there. At worst, Kaylah can call the MC if anything looks/goes wrong.

It's not unreasonable to worry, but I think Emma will be safe as long as there are people around to protect her.

Does this mean you don't have a copy of the cut bathroom renders?

Hi, HillsideVN! Great update, as usual. I'm glad I've waited for the full release. I noted a little continuity issue, although:

If you're not in Lucy's path, when she came to your room at the spa to talk, suddenly, at the end of the conversation they're both laying in bed. I know those are renders reused from the Lucy's path, after she tried to have sex with MC. Only in the no Lucy path those shots feels strange.

Anyway, only wanted to let you know how I felt the scene. Maybe is intended, I don't know. Keep the great work.

No. It shouldn't be like that. Thanks for letting me know.

Possibly this from the wt.

Are there major differences between 0.9B and 0.9Final?
Worth replaying?

(Tried to find a post about that in last view pages, but no luck)

Hi.

The two missing scenes are now present.
The script is about 33% longer.
The majority of the existing dialogue was rewritten.
60+ images that were present but unused are now used.
80+ new images were also added.
Several choices were added.

 

[DIRTY Filthy RAT]

and according to DarkBlue himself, there won't be.

Only threesome routes

Nice! I hope it’s with Lucy & Charlotte, but I doubt it. It’s probly Lucy & Kaylah

I’m often nervous about checking threads like this out of the fear that someone might figure out the plot, so I tread lightly.

Chances are higher for a suzi and hannah threesome.
