Hi, guys.
If you're on the Discord server, you may have noticed that I have been quiet for the last five days. Unfortunately, I received the bad news that my sister has a tumor, and I have been waiting to hear the test results to determine whether or not it is cancerous. I've just found out that it is.
This news has come as a complete shock, and my emotions have been all over the place. I've found it hard to get much of anything done this week, so I won't be posting the usual progress update tomorrow.
I'm sorry for the delay. Now I know the test results, I will be able to get my head straight and get back to work.
Thanks,
DB
No rush, this is a heavy topic. I have recently lost a great friend to cancer who has been battling it for 20 years. Just take your time to find yourself again, I know it is very hard to do so.

He did. Personally, I think the game would have been even better if Emma looked the age she acted, mid-teens at most and wasn't a LI at all (please don't hurt me @Joshy92 ).
Agreed. I don't think Emma should be a LI at all. I know she's technically "of age" and everything, but she has the mental and emotional maturity of a pre-teen. The fact that she is still dreaming of somehow setting up MC and her mother so they can be a happy family is also evidence of that.

However....

I don't know if I like Jenny hanging out with Emma.
I hope she isn't a bad influence or anything.

Hopefully I'm wrong and Jenny turns out to be a sweet girl
I am angry with how Zak treated her before
He deserves an arse kicking for that imo
I believe Jenny is going to be a "good" influence, for those that want Emma to be a LI, because she seems to exist for the purpose of getting Emma to look at MC like a hunky man in the house as opposed to a father figure.

I'm opposed to it, and I really hope that any Emma-mancing is written in a way that is entirely avoidable, because this is probably a game that I would abandon entirely if not, but it's been pretty apparent to me since Jenny's presence became more prevalent that she's going to be a vehicle for Emma to start wanting to/trying to blur the lines of the relationship she has with MC.

My memory is that the developer has said all LIs will be avoidable / you will be able (and indeed eventually will have to) choose one. Just as you can (for example) reject lucy already and then have a purely platonic relationship with her. So I think (for example) it will be quite possible just to pursue charlotte and have emma be excited that her mother has found someone etc.

So no endless child support payments route? Kinda disappointing tbh

I actually like it when in these games the mc does stuff like holding his love interests hand
Or kissing her on the cheek and stuff like that
I think it makes the relationships more intimate

In a lot of the games on here the mc just bangs the girls and goes to sleep or something
Which I feel isn't that sexy lol
We rarely get to see the subtle things imo

There's always a choice, depending on your preferences, but I guarantee that it's totally avoidable if it doesn't tickle your fancy ;)

Agree with you. Many devs try to cut corners when one character fall for another. They skip it all together and go to sex with corruption and blackmail. It's much more challenging (and longer) for two people fall in love.
And "head-patting", Caribdis head patting is hilarious

I just thought of something
What if Emma totally dominates the mc in bed

All this time she had us believe she was innocent
But she is actually a crazy sex fiend
You saw how she bossed the mc around in that couch moving scene lol
I don't see it, it doesn't fit Darkblue's style... On the other side, I could imagine that some developers could make her a sex addict hungry goth nympho...
But, at the end I would prefer her as she is, as step-daughter... If she will be (I know she's already) a LI, then she should act like a young woman, not like a child.

Is the game still about how the MC selflessly drives away all the horny bastards that crawl out of all the cracks, and everyone around admires him, with tears in their eyes, or has the relationships finally begun to develop?

I actually chose Kayla simply because she was direct and actually felt interested in the MC and I was getting bored of getting constantly berated by the mother and Emma doesn't tickle me at all since she's such a pre-teen. In any case when the eventual sex scene happened, the MC first of all told a grisly story to Kayla so I thought "okay now this scene isn't happening after all" but it happened and the MC was a two pump chump.

I laughed my ass off and it felt like I was being punished for choosing anyone else except Charlotte. Balancing these slow burn games is hard because when the eventual sex scene happens, it's bound to be very disappointing in some fashion the slower the burn is. In any case don't mind these criticisms because I actually like the game. The story is still definitely one of the better ones around here.

That's the problem with allowing people to pretend slow burn is anything other than a delaying tactic. Nothing happens for soooooooo long with arbitrary time skips included only for anything serious that happens to start and end in five seconds.
