Found a little about Valerie in this, but not sure I'm understanding fully. Also think I may have a glitchy version, so checking with the hive mind.

Who got the Valerie scene in the gym shower? What were your other circumstances? I have three routes: manwhore, break up with Alex, reject Val. I didn't get the shower scene in any of them, though I expected something might happen in that setting. I confirmed this with an UnRen (my gallery only goes through around day 9 - I don't know if this is a glitch as well).

Any thoughts? Based on some comments, it looked like I might not get it on the manwhore route since I'd chosen to not let go of Alex, but I also didn't get it on the "let go" route, which is suggesting I've screwed something else up, or my version of the VN has an issue. Also using the Mod, so there may be an interplay. Just curious to see if anyone got the scene, where they got their download, and whether they used the Mod, etc.
Not an answer to your question, but another question. Can you actually do a manwhore PT in this?
I don't think you can get that scene unless you crush Alex's sweet and tender heart. Since I've been unable to do that so far, I'm not sure

not in the long run, and there aren't enough LIs to be a manwhore anyway. But you can fuck Val before getting serious with Alex for example (nothing happened yet with Isa)

Yup, I always turn Val down that first opportunity.
I keep telling BTT that I'll do a Val pt but I keep breaking my promise
I know where my heart lies.

I've said my piece before but I'll do a Val playthrough when the story is complete. Until then, it's really hard not to see Isa/Alex throuple as canonical.

Been awhile since I replayed the game I can't fully recall anymore but all I recall it will matter later who you break up with or don't I forget ( not sure if saying no to Val the first time matters or not). But im not sure if it matters for the gym scene or not yet , I want to say Val's path hasn't started so probably doens't matter yet. Tho I don't use any mods. As I remember BTT saying cause Val is a late addition / promotion you have to play it a certain way to get on her path. I want to say it's to turn down Alex not sure tho

To some degree you can for how much longer I don't know. Cause the throuple path is essentially the manwhore path since if I recall you can still fool around with Val for now on it.

What I call "manwhore" is "take every opportunity as it arises, and then split when I have to". If committing to Alex means no Valerie nookie in the future, then that is now the "throuple" route, as well as a potential basis for "Alex solo". The "break Alex's heart" route then becomes the "Isa solo, maybe with a side of Val or anyone else that pops up", and the "no Val" is also a throuple or Alex solo platform.

I know that the decisions will bring things in or leave things out, so I try to have enough routes to experience all of it. However, I'd think that the "break up" route should have triggered the scene I missed. I have a seed save where I can reconstruct everything if need be, but I'm just trying to determine whether I have a bad DL or missed a decision somewhere, since it's likely one or the other.

I'm only doing a Val pt when the game is done too. She isn't that interesting to me.

The throuple hasn't really started yet, had it. It's just Alex so far.

tbh I would consider it started already in the sense that Alex and Isa are becoming close to one another. Since I feel for a proper throuple they both should be good friends. But yeah you are right it technically hasn't even started yet cause the Isa relationship needs a push forward now.

I was picking at nits there, sorry, and to be honest in my mind if it hasn't started it is definitely starting. I mean the way Alex is throwing Isa at me I'm getting bruises

The developer. I check every day, and he has not even hinted as to when it might be.
Pretty sure BTT doesn't know. If he did, he'd tell us. Last I heard he was pretty close but it'll be done when he gets it finished I guess.

Hello everyone. Does anyone know when the next update will be?

That's a part of it.
I'm preparing a post about what's going on for months since a few days now, and writing that is as much fun as opening Daz was at some days/weeks/months.
I'll try to get that out in the next days. For now I was struggling with Isa's new hair (matching the color with the old one) for a few days. So much fun.

Thanks everyone. I was afraid BTT had abandoned their project.
Won't happen as long as I'm able to stand. Or sit.
