Haha...i thought I finally got rid of Alex but nooooooo her ex-daddy had to ruin it all.. Bella and Alex, are they the only LIs? Someone has to be thrown into the mix for some of us who have no intention of dating those two but considering the name of the game is Isabella, I'm not hopeful. :4Head:

*** UPDATED POST 2023-AUG-15 ***

Traducción al español - C04.1

Como siempre, hay que descargar e instalar el juego original, y luego descargar y extraer la carpeta "game" del parche y pegarla dentro de la carpeta donde hayáis instalado el juego, reemplazando todo si os pregunta. Debería arrancar ya en español. En el menú Prefs aparecerá una opción de cambio de idioma.

Spanish translation - C04.1

As always, you have to download and install the original game, then download and extract the "game" folder from the patch and copypaste it into the same folder you've installed the game, replacing all when asked. The game then will always be launched in Spanish. A changing language option will appear in the Prefs menu.

#4... Damn that's high enough. I'll admit the model is not bad(love the eyes)... The issue I have with her is that i can't help but see the fiancé whenever I look at her.. It throws me off and I'm not really a dog person :ROFLMAO:

I meant Val *sigh* It's too late.
But their will be some Jen dream sequences.

I still wonder how many haven't made the connection...

I'm going to be very honest here. When it was pointed out that Isa and Jen look like twins, I accepted it, but, didn't really agree, yes, they are the same type of woman, but not really that similar. BUT, when we got with Val the first time, yeah, that's the twin. It baffles me that no one else can see it, or mention it.

It must have been some very confusing times for MC's dick when they were together, him and the non-sister twins. Knowing that Jen was planning a threesome with Val, made me gasp for air, that would have been AWESOME. Alas, it didn't happen... Maybe after things get hotter between Isa and Alex, they may be open for a foursome with Val, uh? Bah, not likely, but, I'll keep dreaming of it. One thing, if it happens, I want it to be in front of Jen's photo. Oh Yeah...!!!

Peace :D

Still, with every new update I miss proper sounds and moans during animations :)

Won't happen for a few reasons.
The sounds must fit the animation, so TTS voices (which are mostly bad anyway) won't work.

If I hire a VA and she quits the job during development, it's a big problem.
But much more important: How do you picture the voices? People make an image of what they cannot see or hear.
So for one player Alex has a smoky voice, the next thinks she has high toned clear voice and so on.

Might be a DLC for steam.

some of these points I never thought about when reading dialogue but I've always imagined if any dev would even do VA it would be be best when the project is complete cause of what you mentioned.

I can't believe some people don't like Alex she is awesome
She is the main reason I even started this game
I saw a preview pic of her a while ago And I just knew I would love her

Honestly I didn't like Alex at first just wasn't my type even if she reminded me of Judy from Cyberpunk and she was too easy into bed for my liking even tho there is a story reason behind it but as I played she grew on me

This gam,e is full of wonderful coincidences: MC is a bleeding heart and the barmaid instantly,
well, we find her into MC, but it seemed like months of pouring his drinks and him pouring his bleeding heart all over her, she took the heart broken MC in for some TLC.
MC is enjoying all this pampering, so having that is a good base to make a game where MC is already saved, he is already steadily settling into Alex”s arms more and more.

Now that we got some context, we will surely find something for the savior complex gamers,
there we got the frail starlett and MC hellbent on making some impression,:
I mean, under the careful gaze of his sugahmama Alex, MC could do anything, there he goes,
then comes the supportive Alex to cuddle her baby bear and there goes the starting point of
a game with relationships and characters engaged in their entangled lives.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The starlett is someone that MC saves, literally and figuratively.

Here we are throughout the game:
We got the two sides of a relationship covered:

One half in the game catering to those players who enjoy being consoled and ride their bleeding hearts into relationships from girls able and ready to cuddle them and make things better - Alex.
Proof that flying your hurt and victimized flag around will get you girls in months.

The other half in the game goading the savior white nights ready to jump into the lives of
fairer maidens - some see the starlett fairer than Alex - and start prooving their worth
in a somewhat of a pompous struggle to do something meaningful for their maiden.

I think we have played a completely different game.

The MC:

3 things come to mind about him, he's in a relationship with Alex when the game starts, it wasn't a formal one, with titles and all, but an informal one where they had sex routinely; he was trying HARD to get over the death of Jennifer (his fiancée) and the feelings of guilt over not going with her that day; he's a highly trained former military with a over developed sense of duty and a penchant for protection of anyone in need.

Your analysis of him, is full of disdain for his willingness to help a girl in need. Either you didn't understood what was going on, or ...

Alex:

She wasn't instantly anything. When you go talk to her you had been away for a month, without any warning and without contact. But, you were already in a sexual relationship with her, for quite a while. You, and apparently many superficial players, presume that it is the start of a relationship when in fact it is a continuation, we just didn't see the beginning.

You make several assumptions about the MC relationship with her, that he is comfortable, that he is saved, etc. None of them have any support, the fact that the MC went with Jennifer's brother to some place to try to get over her death, is enough proof of that. Alex managed only to get him out of the house and of drinking alone. She managed to get him in touch with the living and to establish a connection out of his grief.

Isabella:

Here is where you went completely off the rails. Someone, an attractive someone even, is in danger, you are able to help without any problem, but, in your mind you are a "savior white night(sic)" because you in fact do. Forgetting that you were trained and conditioned to do EXACTLY that while in the military. You completely misinterpret the whole relationship between the MC and Isabella, in order to paint the MC as a simp "prooving(sic)" his worth. In all instances Isabella asked for help except the first time in the club. From what we can read from your ramblings, he should have told her no.

..................................................................

Nothing is clear when it comes to your ramblings in any thread, but here you left something really obvious, you simply didn't understood anything, didn't (as usual) made any effort to understand and then wrote a ramble (as usual again) with nothing but misunderstood presumptions or downright inventions. Ah well...

Peace :(

You are exactly correct, my friend.
There is nothing better or even close to my own imagination.
In my mind, both Alex and Isa are altos.
Alex borders on tenor like Scarlett Johansson.
Isa sounds more like Gal Gadot sans the Israeli accent.
:devilish::devilish::devilish::devilish::devilish:
MC I voice audibly in a deep, whiskey fueled baritone as I read him.
I'm really not into having voiced characters in an AVN. The sex sounds always sound fake and those AI voices range from almost passable but still f:censored:ing obviously not human to outright Stephen Hawking bullshit. No slight to Mr. Hawking. Just don't want that robo-voice anywhere near my porn games!

Adventure ever on, Phat:devilish:(y)
