I confess that I thought Cassandra's character was a spy for another faction, for Gudinna herself or for one of the Karlsson sisters.

I thought that if Olivia humiliated her, Cass would stab her in her sleep, and that if she treated her decently, she would end up being her ally.

In the end, Olivia's character was almost the main character and Cass was less than a supporting character :KEK:.

But I'm sure a lot of us had crazy ideas about the first three chapters, where new characters kept appearing and we didn't know who was going to be more important.

I thought it was interesting that the two paths to Cass's loyalty came super early and really close together and the only thing it really affected was her advice before going to meet the board. I also expected her loyalty to have more of an effect throughout the game. It's there for Tess to whip out when needed and might get used in the 11th hour when shit hits the fan.

My only thoughts on Cassandra is that I want to fuck the shit out of her at one point but sadly that'll never happen for Kane :(

Yeah… was such an interesting theory… tho Miss Tess has stated that Cassandra/Chanel/Elena are set in Olivia’s faction… so it’ll be interesting to see what characters are flippable and stuff :)

Ohhh, I do have saves where she is not loyal, just for the lulz.....but that flag has not been used (just like flags set back all the way in Ep3), along with most of them.....anyone thinks that flag will not come back to bite them in the ass at some point....especially as you get not one...not two...but three opportunities to grab that flag.

it's there for a reason. :sneaky: :WeSmart:

Thanks for the info, Silver.(y) And it seems my gut feeling about Cass didn't let me down. I've written here before that Cass, from her very first appearance (notwithstanding her whims of getting a pay raise or wanting to have fun turning into fake cops), seemed to me to be a reliable enough person that Olivia could really trust..So I'm glad with what Tess wrote. I like Cass, and I wouldn't want to punish her or worse.

36-48 hours Notice
New
4 hours ago
Just one more update as I am working hard on things -- I have run a bit behind my target date but am still very close to finishing. I underestimated how much of a backlog of business work was needed to be done by taking time off prior for getting the Test Version out in time. So it's really been non-KG demands that have impacted me a bit more than I hoped. But I am formally kind of saying I believe from this post -- I am giving notice that it's likely between 36-48 hours or so for me to release 8.2FinalA. I have to still give myself a little wiggle room in case something pops up, but I have decided to stop any further work after my last set I am working on tonight and a bit more tomorrow. Here is some basic stuff about what has changed from Test ---> FinalA
Sub Path: + 125 renders
Dom Path: + 103 renders + likely 82 renders (185) - I had wanted to try and be ambitious and include the entire 200 render scene I have in my head, but I am going to cut it short and stick with 80ish and continue it in Part 3.
(I am sad to say DMs impacted me about this decision. I enjoy working on this game a lot...except around this time. Some people are unhinged...I've almost never had to ban people from Patreon of all places...but yeah...)
Animations: Approximately 115 added
Tess Outro: 29 renders
Anais Intro to TQA: 9 renders
Anais TQA Preview scene: 33 renders
Rough Raw Totals Added: 381 renders + 115 animations
The biggest time sink was really just going over everything and testing a lot/correcting, mostly thinking about Part 3 too.
Also, as a side note -- if you are having trouble loading saves but used a mod in the past, there is nothing I can do on my side as I don't control/use/understand third party mods. I can only really be responsible for my own content/creations, just like if say a Skyrim mod made by a third party causes issues with the base game. I and others have extensively tested saves from both Season One (Episoides 1-7) going to Episode 8.1 and saves going from 8.1 to 8.2 and not discovered any problems.
My intent with FinalA is that it's a full content version with no future changes needed in that sense. On rare occasions, I have added a tiny bit of content just because I felt like it...but I'm pretty sure I won't feel that way this time. It is possible a Final B version will be made more likely just to clean up tiny errors that are caught, but SAVES shouldn't be an issue as the intent is that this is a Final Version and any changes would be more cosmetic/corrective. But if that is not the case, (a critical error is discovered) then I will let everyone know.
The first post for this version will be released to the $8+ tier, but it is my intent that the next tier should get it pretty soon afterwards if nothing nasty is discovered.
The Android version will take a bit of time after the Final is released (I want to make the Android version is truly a final and only needs to be done ONCE) because it requires third party help and the base game files/program can only create a Windows/PC and Mac version of the game. So expect those two right away but a bit of a delay for Android.
That's it for now, but I'll keep plugging away. (Not likely to respond to much for a bit, don't take it personally I'm just juggling a lot right now and focused.)

I appreciate the kind words I've been getting too -- I hope everyone can really enjoy themselves when it's out!

Thanks Dover....I think your spacebar broken though :p (reformatted for ease to read and also to make easier to find in search results):

I'm Not even a Dom Player But just seeing Miss Tess get harassed by a parts of the community to the point of her not making content, specifically for that side of play just makes me so mad!... Even more that there doing it personally, to where Miss Anais has to deal with it in her stead sometimes is just ridicules... some people man...

Unfortunately it's like many things in life Silver, the very few bad eggs spoil it for everyone else. What's the saying again, this is why we can't have nice things? Even more annoying from here as it's content I'm missing out on...again (and being put to one side...again). You're less affected I suppose not being interested in that path but man...some dumb fuck numbnuts around for sure.

Probably all those fake wannabe hard-men dominant 'pretenders' on sites like Fetlife and Reddit (and here at times lol) who clearly can't comprehend or understand the difference between dominant and domineering. Having dealt with many of them first-hand myself unfortunately over the years, I really can and do sympathise with Tess knowing they are probably even worse towards a woman.

Just fucking idiots.

Overall, I agree with what you wrote, however, I absolutely do not want to sympathize with Tess in what she did...Be that as it may, 1-2 people (whose names she again did not name... how convenient, right?) cannot and should not be the reason why hundreds or thousands of other players should be held accountable. Rough example - if 1 person is accused of a crime, there is no way their guilt can extend to the entire country they reside in. So it is in this case.

First we swallowed being deprived of our solo romance with Jules (because of a couple unnamed assholes who supposedly complained about this demon flag content to the feds or whatever they demanded of her?)...And now Tess has apparently decided to extend this practice of disadvantaging Dom players to the main route as well.

So in this case, I completely agree with Silver. It's a disgrace and a shame that Tess is deliberately depriving Dom players of of some long awaited content by making them scapegoats because of a couple of unnamed jerks. And that doesn't do her any honor.
