Maviarab, I have a question for you: Did Tess ever hint at a point when it's possible that Kane could die?

I think there was once....can't recall when though, might have been after the show ends....has to be K1 Pro though....though I believe that was also changed in her head to manage to get out of it.

Silver_Crow117 be able to answer this much better.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

yea 4 or 5 are the only correct choices. Possibly 3 if your kanes a mama's boy which I hope he isnt

There is one that can happen if you are K1 at the end of the show, and refuse to join Olivia's group. Elena and Samantha can kill you. That variable unlocks during Elena's scene early in Ep 8. Other than that there will probably be other chances for Kane to die. Tess had mentioned that Kane, Olivia and Seth ( all of them even) can die in the future

I think he will be able to die in the maze with the help of Charlotte Marbot and it will be the earliest that he can die.

 

[kinkyshin]

Of course, only possible if Olivia selects this option.



Selecting this option gives:

orderzero = True
sisevil += 5
demoness = True

But in the beta it gave so many other different flags as well.
If I'm remembering correctly it also tanks her relationship with both Callista, Yvette, and makes Elena lose trust in her. So I guess orderzero being True will likely result in this as well later.

In part 3, there’ll be death…

Thanks for your answers, but I think you're talking about the sub path. My concern is with the Dom path.

I fear that the next assessment and beyond will be... let's just say, uncomfortable for Kane. (to put it mildly)

Why? Dom Kane is thriving. Are you scared they will pull the rug out from under him or something?

 

[Maviarab]

My concern is with the Dom path.

While there is a chance yes....there has been zero indication as to when it may be on the dom path.

All but three characters can meet an untimely end. Kane is not part of the three.

Since we're talking about Dom Kane, I don't know what prompted you to come up with this strange idea. As far as I'm concerned, the very concepts of “discomfort/uncomfortable” and “Dom route” are mutually exclusive...

On the contrary, I think that the next assessment of Dom Kane's actions (K10-->M) and his subsequent promotion up the career ladder will be extremely pleasing, giving us much more room for maneuver, freedom of action, as an independent political (and not only) figure who can participate on equal terms in the struggle for power.

As for the possible death of Dom Kane (as well as other key characters such as Olivia and Seth), I would argue that this could happen (if the player allows it) towards the Endspiel of the game, when the war between the factions and opposing sides reaches its climax. (imo)

I was asking because I'm not sure what there is to be worried about on the Dom route. If you somehow maneuver yourself into Kane's death, it would have to be much later in the story and due to player mistakes. If you're worried about LI deaths, Tess tends to give player agency when needed. You're not gonna be forced into say, a Juliette death if you're on a Jules route without some form of player interaction that you fuck up.

As for the sub route, it still comes down to player agency. If your K1 Kane gets knocked off in the next update, you've been warned plenty of times and made choices to have it happen anyway, so it was a desired outcome.

 

[minibaer12]

Under "normal" circumstances, I completely agree with you.

But I have a save that deals with the WHAT IF...

The following ingredients:
- Revolution Path, so Kane is Dom/Good
- Olivia Dom/Evil
- Except for Junko, we play against ALL girls
- We play against the program and therefore against the Gambit
- The variable Dominique Evil is true or 1
- Kane is currently only K5
- The first assessment (K5) was harmless, but the second assessment (K5) already made Oliva visibly angry (probably the other four as well)
- Kane did not participate in the event and did NOT accept the invitations from Kitty and Taylor
- And finally, the crowning glory: Kane thus upset 3* Dominique. I'm sure Kane now has a target on his back!

Corporate Development Memo 10 August 2025

Hi everyone!

I will start with the basics and give a bit more after that...

First, the weekly update is that I did 122 renders/a total now of 2,728 renders.

Ideally, I'd like to get about 5.5 more scenes in if possible. Two are kind of long but I'm going to do those two no matter what since they close out a set time period for the dom path. So we'll see how I can manage over the next few weeks and go from there. I have a few different options in mind as to when I might want to "stop" new renders/writing.

I am arranging design stuff to kind of let me have a big break with minimal client work starting from August 22 until about roughly the start of September (1st or 2nd). What this practically means is that I will be on Discord more but perhaps a bit less responsive in speaking right away. I will in a sense be in a different mode to try and crank out multiple scenes to get near the end.

Depending on how that goes, I intend to after that break to lay out my estimated time frame for testing and release of 8.3.1. I think it's pretty obvious that I feel I am getting close enough to try and sprint a bit more and make time for the game as I like to do near the end. What I never know is what comes up with testing and playing as sometimes it's really smooth and easy, and sometimes I find a lot of problems. So let's hope for the best as the honest bottom line is that I have to feel happy that's kind of lacking bugs/crashes or other problems before a Test Version comes out.

I am about now 99 percent done with a Chinese language version of Episodes 1-7 of the game. If this version is completed, I will start finalizing a Season 1 file in different languages that I hope to release on places like Steam later. The first for sure languages will be Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, and Traditional/Simplified Chinese. The second tier group of languages are French, Spanish, Japanese, and 1-2 more I am debating. There will also be a second version of this same Season with more features that will be for Patrons and for say a Steam buyer, it will be kind of a free add on if you bought the normal game earlier. (I am pretty sure this is easy to do from what I hear, no need for a "Deluxe" overcharge edition, heh) This version will have a gallery function to search by ladies, dom/secret sub/sub filters, and a few other ways. I hope this is a great add on later for people to see scenes as one thing I have realized is that some scenes are definitely missed by players!





I found this interesting to look at -- very minor differences in a few characters, etc. (for example the one after comma).



A note here is that I am including some red text for warnings to give it even more obvious context that it might lead to stronger content.



Anyway, that's where I am with all of that -- I wanted to avoid bad AI language translation so hopefully it shows when it comes out. Keep in mind that Episodes 1-7 have a 455,000 word count (yikes that's a lot) so translating it was not an easy task and I appreciate all three of the awesome guys I hired to help make this happen! I have even arranged for them to get an extra bonus if say Steam sales perform well based on certain metrics, I really believe in sharing rewards if it helped, etc.

I am back on all dom path I think this week - I had a little side scene which is part of the images above (optional on sub side) but I enjoyed writing it. I've got a bit more on that scene but not too much. So from there, I hope to crank out 2 more scenes this week and get it down closer to the end game, etc.

Thanks all!

Please have a great week and I will try and have a normal update next week but a much more comprehensive one at the start of September as I should have a good idea where I am... I have always had a specific release date in mind based on render count (I hoped at one time for 2,500 renders) but I want to start to head towards the end for this update. I am REALLY looking forward to writing the next update and kind of want to get on it hehe... on my outline this is probably my favorite update I have been looking forward to (end of Act 2) versus the very end which I am looking forward to the most (end of Act 3).

Love,

Tess

In my opinion, it would be best (and fun) not to warn anyone that a hypothetical player, say, has received a certain "fatal flag", which does not appear to be fatal by its name, and which will trigger Kane's death after a couple of updates.

But can you imagine what would happen in that case, hehe? Tess would be “eaten” by her own Dom patrons. So, I think that, as in the case of the Sub route you mentioned, there will be "early warnings of danger" (not only for LI, but also for D.Kane and Liv).

I don't like when a game goes all "flashing lights" on choices but I do expect a certain level of nuance in dialogue. I definitely think Kane has already gotten enough warnings on the K1 route that even without listening to outside sources, you should expect the run to come to an end soon.

with URM, otherwise it won't work 100%
