Like many I thought this would be a copycat of the game that got abandoned because of the creators death (Rest in peace man)...I was wrong and this stands on its own without needing comparisons. This shows the evils of the entertainment industry and you can tell who some of the assholes were based on. Looking forward to seeing more of this one.

I must say, I just finished 0.7 of this and I feel very conflicted about this story. I love that it is showing restraint and NOT throwing women at the player, that feels much closer to reality than the constant onslaught from others. I actually adore that the characters are afraid to discuss what is bothering them and the slow burn is drawing me in more and more. However, I don't like that Charlotte constantly has the same conversation with herself about how she treats the player. I understand her reasons for being distant and agree with them, just the repeated thoughts just seem to run together after a while. I also don't like that Charlotte broke down in front of Kaylah as she just seems to be too guarded to ever let that out to someone that is a stranger, even if she is trying to warn them.

I feel that I must bring up the stalker as well, given that it feels like that storyline is being shoved to the back and is going to be rushing to the finish instead of drawn out. I may be wrong here, but I feel that same story has too many red herrings as to the identity of the stalker. Personally, I have gone from thinking it was Zak to Steve to David to Kaylah and now I am almost convinced that it is a Scream situation where it is multiple stalkers.

I do really love that this story has shown the darker side of fame and I want to applaud it for this, but I also feel that the acts being shown may be meant to give the player a reason for the beat downs that are going to be served later. If I am wrong then, praise away. I just hope this is not using these unspeakable acts as nothing more than "cheap heat". I do hope the dev plans more than just to version 1.0 as this story feels like it will take more than a few more updates to be complete.

I hope it doesn't sound like I am displeased with this story as that is far from the case. What I enjoy is so good that what in my opinion are flaws stand out even more. At the same time, I honestly can't wait to play more and hopefully get some more questions answered about everyone's backstories. Oh and while I doubt it has ever been stated, does anyone know how old the player character is supposed to be? I say player character here as they most certainly are not the main focus and I have no problem with that.

He isnt posting anything, yet wondering what that status update is (and if there is some of patrons to post it here).
Im not a patron, yet based on the start of it (from the patreon), it shouldnt be something important regarding the incoming game update, yet as it says "it is just s small info" regarding patreon/patrons pledging from the next month onward.

Yeah, it's really nothing important. Maybe for those among us, who want to become patrons in the future...

Hi. Just some small items of news.

I will be switching my Patreon account to charge up front before the end of the month.
This shouldn't affect existing patrons unless you decide to switch to a higher tier in the future. If you do then you will have to pay the difference in price immediately.
Patreon's help page explaining charge up front:

People have also asked me for a higher Patreon tier so I will be making some changes to the tiers next month. I'll make a new post about this once I've worked out the details.
-
And thank you for your comments regarding adding animation to Hillside. I will make a separate post about it after v0.8 has been released.

Thanks for your support.
DB

By the way, I few weeks ago I explained how important music can be setting the mood and conveying feelings. I have what I think is a great video to make my point (no, I am not rick rolling you).

Update is coming soon. But yes I am also excited about this update.
We will have to find out
About bartender.
Which gift will MC give to charlotte.
What will happen to emma at the party.
How Kaylah will thank us for saving her. ;)
I think we will get to see Suzi a bit more in this update and she might ask MC to help her with the problem she is facing.

Damn man this game and Deluca family are the best. I love stories like these.
