I have the Koga mod installed which automatically unlocks all scenes in the gallery so didn't need to.

So you're really avoiding Tori

So you're really avoiding Tori

Sorry to tell you this, but Tori has no right to exist in my universe and I'm not interested in her either!

 

[LSC82]

Like LSC82 shared, the MC and the player are given choices to correct course before it's too late and everything blows up in his face. Of course for the manwhore/cheater/watch the world burn gamers, we will choose the choices that will lead to the worst possible outcomes.

But if you choose the Fuck it (and fuck every lady) paths, the extent of the MC's conscience and remorse is literally the Sponge Bob title card meme. Our MC is actually quite the narcissist if we choose to play him that way hahahaha.

Spoiler: You are a disgusting piece of shit - Lexi

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

This scene is hillarious, the MC sits down on his door depressed after Layla-Alexis break up with him and looks deeply affected...
Then he goes inside and starts making out with someone else lol.

It's not the only time he has a crisis of conscience then gets over it quickly.

It's less obvious but the sequence after Nathan is notorious.
Nathan "scolds" him tells him he needs to make a decision fast, the MC says "i don't know what i'm doing" and agrees with him on everything.
Then we proceed to fuck Mira, not say a fucking thing to Nikki/Cara... and going back to Madison, we go on to play with Erynn in the bathtub and bang the one of the Monroes...
And then DINNER WITH THE FAMILY... and not a single thought about how the situation is all kinds of fucked up crosses his mind, he's just "FOOD=GOOD"

I loved that scene, especially because it came up in my initial blind playthrough, so it threw me a bit. Lexi's anger and Layla's hurt, where you can see she's still processing it, were both really well done. And then going back inside and I was just crossing my fingers that (for me) Nikki hadn't heard anything - I was expecting a kick in the balls from her as well!

Nikki/Cara was in the living room with Emily, just a few feet away, realistically she would've heard something.
Alexis sure wasn't being quiet

She will no doubt find out, especially with Nikki and Cara coming to MS for college. When the MC is being all excited at Nikki coming to the same college I was like "Umm you may want to rethink that!" That will be one path where the MC ends up alone IMO.

Yeah, my reaction was the opposite of his...
"We are going to MS!!!"
"Shit... i'm in (even more)trouble"

And he just had the Nathan talk the day before... saying this is exactly what will happen.

No matter what the run I just can't bring myself to fuck Tori. Turning her down is just canon for me, every time. It's not even her looks for me, it's her attitude.

Honestly she's perfect for the absolutely zero conscience MC we've been talking about, it's not a relationship, it's constant hate fucking, one upsmanship...
It's perfect for the guy who doesn't give a fuck and just wants to get his dick wet... too bad she blocks Valeria.

Do you think it is possible that Cara/Nikki could come to watch the race? I would like it

From what is officially known, the Sisters are supposed to come and check the school. In the devlogs it is written that some event has been postponed. So there is a really high probability that this could happen. But I would like to see Val vs Nikki again

It could be not only the sisters but characters like Erynn and Alexis also might want come and watch the race, if you combine that with fooling around with one of the schoolgirls... oh boy...

 

[valbitterb]

I have a feeling it will be possible if you win the race/the next training session again

I agree. Val likes it when her guys are competitive but Sha'Carri seems to only date winners.

Hmmm that would be interesting. You have girls who are into sports. Like Val, Layla, Nikki you win the next race. If you are on the route of Cara, Eryn or Alexis you lose

That's a good observation. For example, if you choose to fool around with Lexi and not train with Layla, you end up losing the race at training camp.

It could be not only the sisters but characters like Erynn and Alexis also might want come and watch the race, if you combine that with fooling around with one of the schoolgirls... oh boy...

Win or lose, after the relay track meet, the Cheater, Manwhore MC is going to have run a race to save his life.

The way you broke it down, our MC can be incorrigible and completely selfish and immature for a long-term monogamous relationship at this point in his life, hahaha.

You have met your girl's family, you idiot!

In different cultures, that's a big deal and would be blasphemous if you behaved like the MC after meeting your gal's family and have broken bread with them.

Totally, just makes his "temporary bouts of conscience" look funny when he shuts the noise down immediately after.
He has his "i'm so conflicted" moments but nothing occurs to him when he's having dinner with his GFs family right after banging many others.

And BTW, the Monroes aren't the only family who opened their doors to him and made him a honorary member.
Melissa and Erynn goes without saying.
John and Iris(can't wait for Erynn to be added here too).
And the Morgans of course.

Val's mom is probably next(and if she is Ximena she knows Gabi).

And a bright spot for Elena fans, her brothers approve of the MC .
Her mom i'm not so sure lol.

Coach Mike will make him run laps till he vomits.

Hailey will spike his pancakes with laxatives.

Melissa will shave him bald with a rusty razor.

Zo will drive his King Kong knee into the MC's sternum as he dunks the ball off his face.

Adriana will give him detention till he's 40.

And then there's John, the MC's surrogate father.

What will John do to him when he learns about Erynn? What will he do when he learns about the MC playing both Iris and Erynn?

I think John calling out the MC will be the only time he breaks.

I agree, this one can potentially hit him heavier than the others.
The MC truly looks up and trusts John, a father figure to him.
It's different to being a Zo fan, sure it will hurt when the guy you used to idolize closes the door you... but their relationship is less personal than John's is.

And then we have to see what Santiago will say in regards to messy situations, will he be the asshole?
"Hey bang all the chicks you want, just don't get any of them pregnant..."
Sounds more like the drunk uncle than a dad... but it's possible.

 

[cxx]

the only time i played multiple routes all at once is ages ago and i dont intend to do it just to see the drama but im curious. Does the MC aknowledge what a huge piece of shit he is in these variations or is he kinda the same as if you date the girls solo?

when i 1st time played manwhore path after monroe sisters came mc was oh well and then went to meet girl in his bedroom.

I mean Santiago has no right to judge/lecture his son, to me it seems like he got all of that from his dad

I would expect him to be more like "Yeah that sucks, i know how it is when there are hot chicks who want you everywhere, relationships are hard ... come on lets drink a beer" or something like that

Edit:

And Emily probably is like: "Hmm yeah, i should probably say something about him being with all these girls at the same time ... but isnt he adorable? And his dad was the same .. and he was so sexy ... hmm whatever."

His horndog side is definitely from Santiago, who certainly got around when he was around the MCs age... and possibly is still a playa right now.
I mean he just got separated(maybe not even fully divorced yet) and he's already trying his luck with Emily again

Given his history and the fact that he doesn't have much of a relationship with the MC... it's very hard for him to play disciplinarian... So i can totally see him being friendly, understanding and even a bit... proud.
"How many girls? Damn!!! You really are my son "

Emily (if she had a brain), probably should've said something already... i mean she met Alexis, Cara/Nikki, caught him making out with Erynn(multiple times) and have heard about Layla/Elena.
That sounds like enough info to know that "Santiago Jr" is getting around lol.

Okay... I have a few things to talk about.

First, the progress for episode 14. All renders are done, and the post-render work is also done. The "re-coding" for the episode-3-remake is done, and I coded the first part of episode 14 and tested it already. I put some music/background noise in the first episode, but only on the first day for now. That's because of 2 reasons. The first reason is that I want some feedback from you on whether you like it or not. On the plane, for example, there's the typical plane noise with some soft chatter from other passengers, on the street, you can hear some cars passing by, when inside the house, talking to Emily, I've put some self-created indie lo-fi and so on... That way you can compare and let me know what you like more, music everywhere or keep it switched up like it is now, sometimes music, other times typical background noise. The second reason I'll talk about a little later in this post.

Now to a, I don't know if it's an issue, but I call it that for now. When working on a new episode, I always want it to be better than the previous one. But when I tested the first part that I coded from this episode, I wasn't disappointed, but some other word I can't think of now. Maybe I'm too hard on myself here, since it's not always possible to one-up every episode. Take a TV show, for example, not all episodes are better than the previous one, especially if something big happened before. Episode 13 was very big with a lot of progress for several characters and storylines, and episode 14 is the opposite. There isn't much progress with the characters, maybe a little bit of a storyline. It's more of an episode to set up stuff for the upcoming episodes. So, I felt a little let down by myself, or that I failed in some way, I don't know. It's a short episode. Especially after the biggest episode so far, it's gonna feel even shorter. If you only play solo paths, it's very very short and not much there for you. I suggest skipping this one and waiting for the next episode. My opinion, of course, you can do whatever you want.
Now to something you all probably gonna hate. Not the upcoming release, but episode 15 will break saves. I don't know for certain if I'm gonna do it with episode 15, but the earlier I do it, the better. As some of you might know, there are several bugs still in the game, and I found another big one which I can't fix without new variables that I have to put in previous episodes. I found out that you can't be on an Iris path without Alexis because most of Iris' points happen during the beach date, and if you don't get those points, you're not on her path any longer. That, of course, shouldn't be the case. I lowered some requirements for now as a quick fix, so it could be that you're on Iris' path all of a sudden. That's something I have to change and re-assign several points to a non-Alexis path. There are also lots of problems with Nikki and Cara variables. Meaning, I probably do a full recode for episode 15 from episode 1 onwards and change the way you get variables to what I've been doing in the last few episodes, and I might change some point requirements too. I also want to keep count of who MC has kissed/had sex with, and so on. It might be something I need in the long run. That's also the second reason why I won't be putting any music in the first 3 episodes since I will be changing the code then. I will start working on the code change simultaneously with episode 15. I'm sorry, hate me all you want, but it's a work in progress, and stuff like this happens but I'm always honest about this.

I promised to give an ETA last progress update, I'm not too sure yet but 2 weeks maybe? I still need to do 2/3 of the code and the testing. If something changes I'll let you know.

 

[LSC82]

Mixed news.
The good, it's just around the corner.
The bad, it's a transition episode.
I already figured that out from previous blog posts, but now it's from the horses mouth(she shouldn't judge herself so hard, sometimes those are necessary, but still... boring).

And it's gonna break saves yet again.

I did know about the "Iris bug", Nyx pushes Iris vs Erynn so much and yet it's impossible to have Iris horny for the MC without the Alexis beach date... which doesn't happen in the Erynn path.

And before playing it, i still think that ambient sounds is better than random music without context.
Are we getting moaning sounds for the sex scenes? Cause that would 100% seal it

 

[hakuna-matata]

I just hope I don't have to redo my saves. I haven't counted, but I believe I have at least 15 saves.

One of the few games where each progress update gets you less and less excited for the update.
I had hoped the big event that got postponed for one of the paths was going to be the last of the bad news, but now we are being recommended to straight up just skip the entire update if we do solo paths.

 

[Dessolos]

but now we are being recommended to straight up just skip the entire update if we do solo paths.

I think it's more meant if you only play 1 or 2 solo paths but if you play everyone's path as a solo path you should be fine content wise.

Not ripping on you here... but your answer is as vague and confusing as her comment, do you think she meant to say saves and not paths for that particular statement, i.e. if you only play for a certain girl or path you are probably better off just not playing the update at all?
