SteelyDan14, I was going to post about the incorrect description of “dgame” in the glossary, but I see you've already been informed..As for the mod itself, I haven't installed it yet, but it would be great if there would be a similar fix for your mod that there is for Sancho's mod. That is, so that in case of some unforeseen circumstances you can disable this mod without breaking the save files. Also, it might make sense to add the ability to rename MC, Olivia and Seth (this feature was in the Sancho mod and it might also be useful).
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
BTW, right now one person (in the main KG thread) is asking how he can rename MC in 0.8.2, and I don't know what to answer him except to suggest finding and running old 0.8.1 or even the first season 0.7b and then rename the char via the sancho mod.
I can look to add the rename feature. That is pretty straightforward.

Also, I am pretty sure my MOD will not break saves if you uninstall it. Sancho is an advanced coder and his MODs are, for me anyway, pretty complex so it's no surprise his MODs bork the saves. All of my MOD files are kept separate from the original game files and all my code is Renpy. I do add things to the script files, but only additional text so a fresh install of the game will fix that. If you find they are breaking saves, let me know and I will look into a fix.

Maybe I need to join the Discord.

I pulled my definitions from the walkthroughs. For example, this is the only reference I could find in the walkthru for dgame.
Code:
edpts +1 (this stat will directly carry over to Part 2 with MINUS
ONE point to a flag called dgame. If you want to get the
highest rank possible as a pure dom, avoid this choice.)
So are we thinking they are inverses? In otherwords, for every edpts earned, once dgame gets added it will start with the negative number based on edpts?

I'd recommend it.
This game has tons of variables and some of them can be ambiguous as to what they actually are.

So don't think there's better way to get help than as Tess about them directly.

Probably should update the glossary screenshot with the preview also.
I have to go to work in a few minutes, but will post the updated screenshot tomorrow.

Will that meet with your approval?

;)

Sounds logical, but I was not lazy and checked it by doing a fast run starting from the Ep7 content and specifically getting 4 edpts points by intentionally making a few mistakes in “dating” with Samantha and Scarlett..Then, I exported the save data to season 2 and started the game from that save. The problem is that within the Ep8 pt2 content, the edpts values =4 didn't go anywhere and in no way went to the dgame (as stated in the Ep8 pt1 wt) and the value of “dgame” was still =0.

I played through to the very first scene (in the movie theater with Hiyori and Katsumi) where you can earn the very first dgame point, but even after getting it, the previously obtained edpts values went nowhere.

It looks like Tess either forgot about it or changed plans, and edpts values will be one of several variables that will be the basis for the final evaluation of DomKane actions in the game show. I think you should ask Tess on Discord about it, but given the fact that I was recently banned there, I'm unlikely to be able to help with that.

This.

Edpts and espts are npow just part of the final evaluation. They are NOT good and you do not want any (probably under 2 max) in order to rank up. d/s game pts ARE good...and you'll want to stack them. How many will be required remains to be seen.

I prefer not to take risks and keep edpts=0 in all my saves. As for that,

I think we misunderstood what was written. Actually it should be taken exactly as written - "edpts" will be moved to Ep8 pt2 entirely as an independent variable. Which is what we are seeing. However, there is one issue here - why none of the 4 bad edpts points were transferred to dgame and the base value of dgame at the start of Ep8pt2 is still zero, although, logically, it should be = -1. After all, Tess can't be talking about the single one bad "edpts = +1" that MC(K9) can get if he refuses Svetlana's blowjob, right?

Wouldn't be the first variable she has missed despite her perfection.

The maria flag is still not called for correctly despite being told by myself and perhaps more importantly Sancho at the time.

After saying that, I had to wipe your fat drops of healthy sarcasm off my monitor..:KEK: Yeah, well, I guess she just forgot about her own stated “minus one”. Even "ivy league princesses" aren't perfect.:whistle::coffee:

Thanks my friend. I like your work a lot.
But there is one variable I do not understand.
I just want ask is there a better explanation about what

Just read through the this thread a bit. There was a discussion about it since there seems to be some debate around it. This is the only reference I could find for it in the devs walkthru.

Code:
edpts +1 (this stat will directly carry over to Part 2 with MINUS
ONE point to a flag called dgame. If you want to get the
highest rank possible as a pure dom, avoid this choice.)
It is the general consensus that D Game is a good score to have so the higher the better. It impacts the final evaluation.

Edpts and espts are npow just part of the final evaluation. They are NOT good and you do not want any (probably under 2 max) in order to rank up. d/s game pts ARE good...and you'll want to stack them. How many will be required remains to be seen.

In the meantime, before I update the MOD again, please take a look at the Glossary array and let me know if I should change anything. I tried to clean up D Game and I added S Game.

Code:
define gbGlossary = {
0:['Cunning', 'Higher numbers reflect how cunning the MC is'],
1:['D Game', 'Impacts final evaluation of MC, higher is better.'],
2:['Dom', 'Higher numbers reflect how dominate the MC is toward women.'],
3:['E Dom', 'For Dom players, the lower the better if you eventually want to get to exec level'],
4:['Evil', 'Higher numbers reflect how evil the MC is'],
5:['Exec Points', 'Higher numbers reflect eventual promotion potential to Exec level.'],
6:['Friend', 'Higher numbers reflect how strong the MC\'s relationship is with Jake'],
7:['Good', 'Higher numbers reflect how good the MC is'],
8:['O Points', 'For Sub players. You want lower to rank up. Higher if you want to lose rank.'],
9:['Princess Eyes', 'Higher numbers mean Sis sees MC in a more favorable light for being more than bro/sis.'],
10:['S Game', 'Impacts final evaluation of MC, higher is better.']
11:['Sis Queen', 'Secret point system. Has to do with the Sis gaining power over time.'],
12:['Sis Gambit', 'Not 100\"%\", but it seems to impact the Sis chance to win the gambit and lead the company.'],
13:['Sis Team', 'No clear definition, but seems to impact the level of Sis.'],
14:['Sis *Character Name*', 'Relative relationship between the sister and the named character'],
15:['Slave', 'Lower the better for determining initial K level. 0 will give you K6'],
16:['Sub', 'Higher numbers reflect how submissive the MC is with women'],
17:['Z Points', 'For Dom players. You want lower to rank up. Higher if you want to screw up.'],
}

Maybe slightly change wording on a few Steely...

Dom/Sub really only changes a scene/reaction. it actually has very little impact on what happens with the exceptions (primarily) of evil scenes. As have said, you can leave prison with 6 Dom, 0 Sub points and still leave on the 'SubPath'. So it's more of a scene variance than anything else, most of the time.

Princess Eyes, despite Tess' 4 different defintions (in her own WT no less) it has no bearing (and has not even been called up yet) on how she sees Kane. Currently. That is entirely on the goldilocksdom/sub flag. That sets the relation, nothing else. Exactly what eyes will be used for eventually, not entirely sure but I would hazard a a guess 'x' number will be called for in order to have an actual sex scene with her and cement the relationship.

SisTeam is defined. It is how much Kane aligns with Olivia's plans (in taking over the company for example). Are they a 'team'..on the same page, aligned in goals/interests. So different to SisBro...where that is how much she will look out for Kane and protect him.

Here's all the different definitions for PrincessEyes:

(Note princess eyes is Olivia's feelings towards Kane, a good Olivia wants to see a good Kane)

Then later we get:
(Olivia's feelings towards Kane in a specific context)

Followed By:
(critical stat for some people wishing a certain route between Olivia/Kane, it's a measure of how the Princess (Olivia) is feeling towards Kane in a different way than sis_team)

Then:
Princesseyes is a special points system for how Olivia is feeling about Kane a certain way


So hey...who knows what it will actually be used for given the whole romantic relatiosnhip is flag set...nothing to do with any points.

Nothing to apologize for... this is a convoluted game and I am just beginning to get a feel for it. I appreciate your feedback.
