Sorry for the lack of progress updates lately but February was just crazy busy workwise. There was also some personal stuff going on. I hope March will be less stressful.

Anyway... Progress for episode 14 is still going steady. I might be a day or two behind where I wanted to be. But I have a couple "vacation" days coming up and will use those to catch up.

Still working on the school day and will be for the foreseeable future. MC is having lunch break at the moment. There might be one more class in the afternoon and some other happenings before I work on a few after school scenes.
Because this update will be mostly in a school setting, there won't be many if any, let's call them "special" scenes. Also as I mentioned before, not every LI will be featured in this update.

This update will mostly be setting stuff up for the next episodes, also a reason why I will keep this a little shorter.
Since I'm simultaneously working on the rerendering of episode 3, there will be another small new scene in episode 3 (2 in total). I mention this because the happenings in that second scene will be mentioned in episode 14. There's no need to replay the whole game if you don't want to, only if you want to see the changes.

Something else I'm really happy about is that I finally found a solution to a problem I mentioned some time ago. My save files kept getting bigger and bigger, up to 2 GB a file instead of a few kb or MB. So it was almost impossible to merge scenes and characters together without having a ridiculously long load and save time and also a lagging render scene. To work around this issue, I always had to recreate the whole scenes with the characters and that took a long time and there was always the problem with inconsistencies. I searched for a long time what caused the issue and saw that others had the same or a similar problem, but no solution that was given worked. Until a few weeks ago when I stumbled on a post with another possible solution and it finally worked. So so happy about it. Now I can even use the bloated scenes and cut out all the stuff I need and create a new save which is only a few MB big. No more recreating the classroom, the different houses and rooms and... Well, every scene for that matter. That will save me some time and especially frustration.
Progress with Elena.... Thats been put on a back burner... It needs to happen...

For me Elena is #3 what needs to happen I think potentially #2.

I put dealing with Blackmail kicking Ethan and Zack's ass above it. Tho I'd be lying if I didn't say after the last update I wouldn't be mad to get more progress with Valeria over Elena haha.

The school day with will definitely will be awkward when on the Elena path, can't wait. The Layla one will be a lot more wholesome. Also curious about how the Zach situation will develop. Also the Val cliffhanger, will she show up or not.

Maybe we'll get some content with Adriana if most of the update takes place at school? That's what I would like.
I really hope that the little moments of teasing we had with her will lead to something. It would be a waste if nothing happened with her. She is one of my favorite characters.

As much as I want a scene with Adriana I have a hard time seeing something happening especially after the last episode. I just don't see her as someone who would cheat especially cause Zo seems like a good dude , so I don't see any reason why she would unless she is super drunk or something.

Adrianna seems happily married to Enzo, so that's going nowhere beyond some mild flirting.

plus she seems to have a good marriage so I wouldn't want to mess with that even if there was an option (don't think there will be though). I just consider the points you can gain with more like sort of an approval of MC and the relationship with the daughters.

Also punishing those who pursue the path of the "Fuckboi" :devilish:
the game has scarred me to the point where i'm scared to be on more than one path in other VNs :LOL:
I don't think we've seen anything yet. Just wait until Nikki and Cara come to Madison Springs and meet the MC's other "girlfriends" No more Riverside side girls. Nikki is gonna knock the MC's block off. :ROFLMAO:

Dating or trying to/just fucking? Judging by his reaction to Val at the beach he could be a bit of a player.
he is seen multiple times with her in the background, at the club, at the beach, even in the latest update she was with him in a blurry background render. So I'd say it's likely they are dating.

If he was dating that girl though and unavailable why would Zane/Mr Donovan say to him that Val is "off-limits" when they see each other at the beach? Rather than "Don't you have a girlfriend?" or rather assume that it doesn't go beyond admiring beauty, because he's in a relationship.
To me "off-limits" is something that you would say to someone who has a history of going after girls that he sees.
