Em points gets you a motorcycle

first off, quality shitpost as usual, I love it

is there a posibility of getting a car if you have lower emily points? like she wants to buy you a ride but is actually a caring parent so she won't let you buy a bike?

*long post*

that was best bullshit post i have seen at f95.

that's something only dev knows so it is possibility but likelihood for that is just guessing.

I was having a bit of difficulty keeping the timeline straight for this game due to the number of flashbacks, so I tried to make notes as I replayed through it to get events in order. Please tell me if I've got anything wrong here.

I know I'm a bit late on the topic here, but it feels like even the game dev doesn't have a firm grasp of his own timeline.
We get told early on that Erynn is 3 years older than MC. This readily explains why they're close enough to be friends, but she winds up with an older group of them due to school and grade differences. That's not so bad.

But then you get the flashbacks with Melissa and Emily meeting. Melissa goes out for a run, happy that she finally has time to do so because "[Erynn] is in kindergarten". Kindergarten is typically not something a child attends until they are 5 years old. In the park she meets Emily for the first time, and says she (Melissa) is 20. Emily just found out the week prior she is pregnant. She then asks "Oh, so you were pregnant when you were 18?"

Either she was pregnant at 15 and Erynn is 5-6 years older than MC, or she's some sort of magical prodigy that she's attending kindergarten at less than half the age of the standard student, in which case she probably shouldn't have attended the same public schools.

As I posted on the BADIK forum, Val is buff Josy. They even have the same mole at the corner of the mouth.

Josy didn't want to be but i say.....

I don't know where you are from, but I went to kindergarten when I was 2.5! We went 3 years to kindergarten and when we were 6, we started the first year of school.
5 years old to be in kindergarten is really late.

Perhaps this is something lost in translation between countries, then. In the US, the 'standard' educational range is called K-12.

Kindergarten is generally started at age 5, depending on a calendar cutoff point, so some students would be 6. 1st grade begins the following year, up through 12th and graduation from high school (end of standard secondary schooling). Then college for those who can afford it. Anything prior to that is typically referred to as a 'preschool' education, for children in the range of 3-5 years old.

This is a good point. Does the game take place in the US? I never cared enough to check.

You are making an assumption that the dev is American, when they may not be and the setting is America which it may be and they did their research (which they never do). There are several games set in London that are complete rubbish, especially with policing (they put in American legal systems).

it's the other way around in europe
kindergarten is basically care for really young children who just play there while preschool used to be one year before you start first grade. wasn't mandatory but some kids went to it to get ready for school


... at least that's how it is in my country

 

[Ilhares]

Actually, I was (partially), but I was also really hoping they weren't. There were a number of typos I noticed early in the game, which was why I thought they might be American, as most foreign English speakers are a lot better with the language than the idiots we raise here on home soil.

I hear you on the legal system issue. It's one of those (to us, perhaps) little 'normal' things, that having it represented so incorrectly breaks the immersion and you can lose focus on the story.

 

[Canto Forte]

MC is miserable for having lost his ma and his bff in one disasterous lonesome birthday.
ALL OF IT THANKS TO ETHAN.
MC should pummel zack into the dirt like that bully has done to him,
just so he does not end up with another ethan situation in his life. Enough is enough!

Do Zach points matter or does his horny creep nature win out in the end no matter how many we collected?

Valeria is a little annoying imo. Don't get me wrong, I like the character and I would've probably made the PC go for her. But she's a little late to the party. At this point the game already made me choose a gf at least twice and made me break up with several others. So for my PC it doesn't really make sense to get jealous of Zach. Yeah, Zach's a creep, but maybe let Valeria handle that herself. She's got a pretty good kicking leg and doesn't need us to protect her.
This game is pretty fantastic with its amount of branching in the story, which is why Valeria is a little disappointing, because she seems to streamline the story into Zach betraying the PC.
It looks like Erynn gets dumpstered either way, but if the next update revealed that Zach actually protected her from the worst stuff, if we got enough Zach points, I think that would be pretty awesome.

Man, we need Nathan back to beat sense into some fools.

We don't know. As of now, some points are never used AFAIK. I mean, what do Emily points, Brooke points, and Melissa points do?

Yeah, I like Nathan better than Zach.

i hope we get a chance to swing back at zach, that retard has been deserving a punch since forever.

Zak is now ethan no. 2 so MC has to snuff him out the first chance he gets.
The risks and the stakes are too high for MC to let another ethan wreck havok in his life.

It's one of those (to us, perhaps) little 'normal' things, that having it represented so incorrectly breaks the immersion and you can lose focus on the story.

Here's the real immersion breaking math:
So Iris was the PC's first gf and they were together for two years. He loses his virginity to Iris at the very beginning of their relationship in a flashback scene from two years in the past (yikes btw). He is single and ready to mingle in another flashback from shortly before moving in with Cara and Nikki. During the truth or dare game a few months later (or even less) he claims to have had between five and ten partners. He is 18 years old right now.
Don't even know where to begin calculating all this tbh.

Honestly the PC being an 18yo kid is the first and biggest hurdle for immersion imo. Him being so young doesn't add anything to the story, unless the flashback scene where he's underage is specifically something people want to fap to. I don't get why he has to be a tattooed hunk giving off daddy vibes and a kid who has his mother sign school documents for him at the same time.
The PC is obviously supposed to be attractive, because he always gets the girl without even trying. But realistically him being a highschool kid would be pretty unattractive for like half the cast of characters.

whom from the cast?

Laykin was probably on drugs! so thats one of the girls then you have iris and Cara/Nikki when he answers back he probably already fucked the shit out of Lexxi and Tori as well or Diana the flight attendant/restaurant manager

so we get the required 5... we can assume at least 2 summers and 2 easter vacation times + some school trips were teenager kids like to experiment, we can clearly see that he goes out and drinks and goes to clubs so we can assume a southern European culture were kids after 16 are considered adults and can drink unlike the US were you need to be 21!

from the cast who would not be interested in the MC? the only one who we can objectively call out as creepy and shit is Erynn... Lexxi had checked him out with Laykin and probably got the inside info on how good of a lover he was! So she took a chance!

Diana the 1st time on the flight perhaps its weird but perhaps she knew who he was and assumed having the only son of the restaurant owner she wanted to scam a team off could be useful!

Fuck even Natasha Zach´s sister loves being watched while being rammed up the ass... yes the locker room scene she smiles when she discovers she is being watched... what most people seemed to have missed was that she was being fucked in the ass!

Gabi is a drunk mistake and then after that barrier is out the window when she needs some loving comfort the MC is there and she knows it can not get worse.

layla and Helena ? from her chances for a boyfriend the MC is probably the best choice... their other choices are assholes like Darryl Lucas Zach Miguel or older dudes like Ethan?

its that the MC is amazing although he clearly is for his age but the other choices available to them...

Tori keeps a list so we know her for a slut, if Darryl feels threatened by the MC is enough to make her want to fuck him to use in a future argument and hurt her "man!"

Also Brooke the head waitress in mom´s restaurant.... only heir to the business were she works, her boss is opening a coffee aka as a 2nd business so she plays smart and can become the manager of the smaller business with a paygrade, engracing herself with her boss and possibly ending up with a boyfriend that by being young and naive she can control and who has her mother (and she probably heard about his father Andres being a big exec in another city) and his father deep pockets!

for Mel Andrea one of the other female teachers and Em sure, but for the rest? he is well educated smart kind of attractive and not a creep in comparison with the rest of the males around, add to that his mother is well off and his oficial father is better off, if his story is know his biodad can be even more loaded! girls up to 24 will consider him as an option for sure!

 

[MrD812]

Yeah. There is another game called Young Again where you can piss on your sister's stomach while she is pissing on the toilet and I found myself saying "where the fuck did that come from?" I don't know why, but the holding the dick while peeing thing is weirdly intimate by comparison. Even a little sweet.

My first reply whenever asked is: "as long as ya don't write your name on the wall with it".

 

[sammyyy89]

install current mac version and copy pc's \game folder to game folder and replace files. or play pc version with renpt sdk for mac.

Thanks! This worked

 

[giorgyo777]

it would be VERY don't bad to add NTR to this story with the ability to avoid NTR. the game would immediately sparkle with other colors and give a sharpness of sensations and, of course, attracted fans of the NTR genre))) it wouldn't be so critical for those who hate NTR as it could be avoided, but it would exist for those who like this kind of genre))

Fortunately Warscared took up the banner on that, though I didn't recognize a couple names he used (I recall no Diana in my playthrough), but I guess this didn't really affect my immersion as it did yours because this actually sounded a lot like my youth, minus being the beefcake sportsy guy (I never was). My first was at 16, she was 19. Over the next 2-3 years I had numerous flings, and a couple longer-lasting involvements. None with soon-to-be-sisters or long-lost childhood friends, though. And I'm fairly confident that none of the older women were ever school teachers. I'm not saying that there were no attractive teachers when I was young, but they didn't appear in my schools. You'd get a Rosie O'Donnel every time rather than a Rose McGowan.

At my present age, I'd have to sit down with a pen and notebook and spend some time really thinking back to try and gauge an accurate number and get them in he right order, but MC's number range is perfectly sensible, at least when contrasted against my pre-social media/cellphone era of schooling - and I'm quite certain that there were other guys (and a few girls) who put my count to shame.

I'll grant you the point on the super-tattoo factor here, that is really unusual, but I was 18 the first month of my senior year, so while I could get away with a fair bit, I still had the need for parental signature on a number of forms. I had a falling out with my old man at one point in the year and faked the signature, which admissions wouldn't accept so they made me visit the principal. "Did you forge this signature?" "Yes, I did." "Why?" "The source of my problems was at home, couldn't exactly ask him to sign." "Understood. Hope your day gets better, tell admissions I said to accept the form." "Thank you."

If I'd been even half as good looking as the MC I never would have had time to be in class, I'd have been drowning in the women throwing themselves at me. Rotten SOB doesn't even have to work for it. I hate that.

 

[Ilhares]

There isn't NTR in this visual novel. There's not even incest so I wouldn't worry about that.

Which is such a shame. I mean, it doesn't have to be part of the story, but why make Emily so damned appealing? Couldn't he have made somebody less nice looking the mother figure? I wanna tap that woman.
