Where is Progress Update?
I delayed it an extra hour for this comment.

Anyways, here ist the update:



Literally finished the first Monday scene yesterday. As of today, I'll start working on the 4th scene. Yeah, I skip the 2nd and 3rd for now since I still have to prepare some stuff before I can start working on those. Besides, the 4th one is the smallest of them all and shouldn't take too long to finish. Also, the 4th happens before the 3rd scene. "But hey, Val. Why not call it the 3rd scene then?" Well, I like to complicate things for myself!

Some people may have noticed that if you are on multiple paths, MC isn't really conflicted by "dating" multiple LIs. There are a few scenes, but not many. I wanted to put more stuff into the game but since there are so many possibilities, it would've been so much extra work. So I made the decision some time ago that MC just doesn't give a fuck. At least not on screen to make it simpler.

But I've put one of those scenes in here now, just to test it a bit. MC being conflicted about 2 girls and who to choose or just continue with both (for now). That decision will be up to the player though. There won't be too many of those like I said.

On a side note. The update is getting big. I'll show you a comparison.
Every episode has a total amount of renders (Those include animations and renders I have to make for photos and other stuff.) and story renders (Those are used for the script).

Episode 6 had 920 story renders
Episode 7 had 937 story renders
Episode 8 had 2369 story renders
Episode 9 had 1373 story renders
Episode 10 as of now has 1825 story renders

As you can see, it has much more than previous episodes and it's getting close to episode 8, which was by far the largest episode (yet). And that's why this episode takes longer than I wanted it to. But we're getting there!

Confirmation that Val is Nyx's in game avatar. Not sure if that makes it more or less likely that we'll get a lewd scene with her though.

that was clear to me since the first time I've played the game and realized her RL name was val
I was fine with it while it was a cameo, I find things like directors having a scene as irrelevant characters in their own movies kinda cool
but this is getting ridiculous in the last few episodes

I want there to be a scene with Val but I got this feeling she ends up being your sister, and didn't Nyx's say awhile back something bad bad happen to her really hope i'm wrong on that

I gotta agree with the other guy that perception trumps intent in many relationship contexts.

IRL girls get mad at guys for stuff like this ALL THE TIME. (sometimes reasonably, sometimes not) - but the point is it's not always about whether someone is acting "objectively kind" or "objectively mean", it's about if they're considered how their actions/words will impact the other person they care about.

I don't understand this logic. So if you perceive someone is cheating, it doesn't matter if they actually aren't since "perception trumps intent?" I don't consider that rational behaviour. I understand that people aren't always rational when it comes to relationships, but that doesn't mean it should be that way.

Also don't agree that it only matters to who you care about. Like, if someone is nice to your family but is mean to everyone else, it only matters that they're nice to your family? So, if Alexis acted shitty to everyone, but as long as she's an angel to MC that's all that matters to you?

To use your example, if someone perceives someone is cheating, it's usually for a reason. It may not be rational in that moment, but perhaps it is in the broader context. For example, perhaps a girlfriend gets real jealous of her boyfriend being around other girls and always accuses him of cheating, and lets assume he actually isn't. Where did that skewed perception come from? Are his behaviors suggesting something happening that actually isnt? Or, does she have a history of bad interactions that skews her perception this way? Personal relationships aren't It's not about "right" or "wrong", it's about the "why" people think the way they do. Or, said more simply, relationships don't work on a priori logic.

I should have clarified and said "if they've considered how their actions/words will impact the person who is receiving them, obviously, someone who's being mean to others has bad intentions, and should be responded to accordingly.

Moreover, in this game in the case that lead to this discussion - the misunderstanding was between someone with more social power and someone with less, and I'm generally biased towards the little guy (or girl), be it social power, economic power, whatever.

or... and hear me out... He/she is psychologically projecting on their partners how they act/values/morals!

which actually proves there is cheating if the projector bitch as a chance for it(i mean he might be an ugly dude or she can be a fatty so they do not cheat not for lack of will but due to lack of oportunittities)!

thus mentally creating in their subconcienst the general idea that someone is cheating and thus excusing themselves if the chances arise to do so, so thus by believing their partner is already cheating they are no more then finding excuses for when they inexorably do so!

Also if they say it 1st they remove the chance for their partners to call them out when they eventually do it!

to acuse someone of cheating without proof is nothing more then showing your hand, showing what are your morals and values, thus denying the chance for the other person to have "different" moral standards!
although if that is the case and the couple have divergent opinions on such topics they are a bad pair!

I hope next episode we can finally beat up "Nice Guy" Zach.
I dunno I think he just gets the short end of the stick, they're brutal towards him during the truth or dare, and he's intentionally written as a cringy character. For all his faults, when Valeria turned him down, he was pretty mature (until the track meet)
