I've finally finished all the restaurant scenes. I also added another scene which was planned for a future episode but it fitted in there perfectly. That also opens up other scenes way faster than planned. In that scene, there is another reveal. I don't think anyone has figured this one out yet, but it will start some discussions.

Working on the 2 last scenes for a few days now but I've hit a dilemma. I knew about this already a couple of episodes ago when I wrote this scene but back then I still had plenty of time to think about what to do. Now I'm at that point in the scene and I'm still not sure. I've originally planned to have a choice in that scene. And it's a major choice which can change parts of the story dramatically. Creating that scene isn't the issue, the issue is in future episodes. It will increase my workload twofold since it will influence almost every other future scene + the new scenes it creates. I want to give the players the option just to see what happens if you pick that choice, because I think you would be interested in it. But I also know that 95+% of the players will ultimately pick the other option. I think it's more of a one-time thing.

For now I will create the scene, just to have the option once I've decided what to do with it. Let me know what you think about it.

A major choice that would change parts of the story dramatically, and would influence almost every other scene? One that over 95% of the players won't choose? I have no idea what that could possibly be, but it sounds like a bad idea. Any guesses as to what they could be talking about?

A new tattoo in a very visible area? Something like that would affect almost all scenes, because you'd need to have an alternate render of every shot with him in it. But that wouldn't change the story drastically, unless it was an exceptionally awful tattoo.

A chance to start an exclusive relationship with Tori as her new boyfriend? That would change the story dramatically, and could possibly rule out more than 95% of people. Hell, it would probably just be me and a handful of others interested in that. So... yeah that one's worth it because I'd enjoy it, and I'm sure everyone else here would be totally cool with waiting twice as long to progress with their favourites. Right? You guys wouldn't mind that would you?

i'm thinking might be something on the darker side story wise like something to do with Erynn what exactly no idea. While increase dev time would suck. I also wouldn't mind it as I love it when a choices can make parts of the story play out completely different. However if it's something 95% of players might not choose then yeah probably not worth it. But at this point it's just going to be a choice that might not matter as nothing is set in stone as the dev hasn't decided which I think is fine to tease it even if it never happens.

More curious how Nyx believes that statistic. If it's accurate..why would you waste time with it all?

Has to be Erynn related for sure.

Maybe something even darker than the already dubious choice of not helping Eryn? Double dip into that route and blackmail her too?

 

[Warscared]

its the Erynn broken dark path aka as friends with Ethan path!
She has broken but she is useless in bed, dead fish, so Ethan fucked up bigtime,
no good as a whore and not usefull as a model either cause her mind is broken!
so he will reach out to the MC apologyse and ask him to fix her before his father fucks him up
for screwing up with one of his best assets!
so the big choice is clearly if the MC agrees or not, if he disagrees so to speak he will help heal her!
if he agrees he will become a corrupter and get her back back to life
has a sex toy a cum dumpster an anal submissive slut! he will rebuild her as the perfect whore!

I hope it is included, this is the type of game i have multiple saves, so even if it is an option that i find utterly disgusting i'll end up playing it just out of curiosity for seeing how the characters directly affected and his/her circle of close friends react.

The notion that it will harm development is troubling(maybe an idea that i suggested some time ago, a "directors cut" after the story is concluded, would work here), but ultimately i side with ambition over safety.

yeah my thoughts exactly while I dont mind waiting for the extra dev time to include this unless the choice makes it so Nyx would have create each chapter twice. But I dont think it's worth it if the Nyx thinks only 5% of the players would go that route. But I like your idea just add it after the game's story is finished.

Are there options for the update to come out before the end of the year? Ami, as long as we have sex with Elena, it's fine for me.

Well thats great, the main character gets to kill Ethan and that dumb shit Zach, thus dramatically changing the story, keeping Erynn safe, and most likely sending the MC into a state prison doing 20 to life. LOL. 95% of people wont want that to happen, Do they? :-O

there is always a chance even if it's small.

I doubt it i'm hoping for Feb or March unless the last 2 scenes are super fast or something than maybe and a big maybe for January but that seems just as unlikely. I think the Elena lewd will be for sometime still after all to pick her you have to make her best friend cry so would be weird if she got with the MC right away after that.

My conclusion about this game: for me it's not a game, but a goddamn illustrated book! RESPECT!!!

For me there are actually only two logical routes:
- Eryenn, it's the (love) route. -> FACT
- Alexis, for me the "hypocritical" (or substitute) route.
BUT! What emerges here is a clique that is "interwined" with each other. Alexis, Eryenn, Iris and the MC!
BUT (2.)! The most logical route for Eryenn's "problem"!
The other routes are interesting, but (so far) irrelevant to Eryenn's "problem"!

AND! If I can take this book at its word, "INTERWINED", one can assume that the mothers and fathers committed some shameful acts in their youth. We are in the 11th episode and have only scratched the surface. Too many questions are still open.

It will be interesting to see what the dev(s) have in their storyline. It's too unclear where the journey is going.

I feel exactly the same pretty much. Erynn is not only my favorite but does feel more like the canon route cause of the story around her. Then Alexis starts to feel like a backup for Erynn to me cause she actually feels like the true girlfriend of the game while Erynn to me feels like the true love of the game.

The rest are good but don't have that special feel to me like Erynn and Alexis. Honestly to me Layla feels more like a good friend than a girlfriend or love interest to me even tho she likes the MC alot which is why I prefer to leave her in the friend zone and play her path last. Unsure how I feel about Elena as I do like her alot but past that I don't know. The rest need more character development for me as I don't have a real opinion on them yet.

I myself see the evaluation of the girls in the same way... It is clear that the main heroine of the game is Erynn, whom the players either like or not (I like). And it's also well known that the biggest dislike among players is Alex (I like her), but the point is that these two girls get the most content... My two main routes are connected to these two girls, and Erynn's route is already very I'm waiting for the moment when they confess their love for each other...(sorry but I like emotional stories). The one I still like is Nikki, but there is less content and the relationship is complicated for now... If we have a similar view, Dessolos... All other girls are more of a friend zone for me and not a girlfriend... They are nice, but I don't feel it the affection for them as for the other three girls... I don't know how many more episodes we'll get, but there will definitely be some weird moments in the story...

It could have been worse man ...

 

[minibaer12]

The beach scene also shows one thing: the clique is extremely dangerous not only for the MC, but also for the three LIs involved.

On the surface, everyone says they have no problem “hanging out” together. But Iris has already told the MC that she is jealous. In other scenes you could see that the others don't feel so comfortable either.

The fact is that the Alexis route is definitely the most exciting route because more details are addressed here!

The future will prove what the Dev's have in mind.

 

[SinCityLocal]

Just wait...

Alexis' dad is the guy the MC met in the bar when they watched the game together. MC's mom reveals hidden past relationships and MC learns this guy is also his real dad.

Okay, so far this is pure speculation.

Another point: John is heavily tattooed (we haven't seen him shirtless yet). But when he has that distinctive tattoo on his back... Iris and Erynn look similar...
