Have enjoyed the game/mod a lot, but when I realized that I blew past a ton of events it became frustrating as it was not only guesswork how to trigger events, but I now had to be careful to not accidentally lock myself out of them. Will asking this person on a date move the event progression forward, or will I just circumvent them and escalate the relationship beyond the intended progression? More content gates and especially more progression hints would be appreciated. Though perhaps it's my (idiosyncratic?) playstyle that rarely uses serums that gets in the way, I've mostly been raising sluttiness/obedience through sex and love through talk/compliments/dates etc.
I've tried looking into the mod codebase to familiarize myself with what's available, but that doesn't work for base game content so I'm completely in the dark of what I'm guessing is a chunk of Jennifer/Lily/Stephanie content. Are there events to escalate the relationships or are you supposed to do it mechanically like I did on my first go? Do you advance Lily's InstaPic storyline through blowing up her DMs or by trancing her into an online attention whore? (I ignored that section entirely on my first run) This one is at least mod specific; are fetishes only triggered by nanobot serum/trances or can they develop organically? Looking into the codebase it seems like serums are required, but just wanted to make sure.
As I said, very enjoyable game but with frustrating aspects. While a walkthrough of such a sprawling game might be difficult to put together (though A Struggle with Sin has managed pretty well on that front), a wiki would alleviate most of the issues.
There is not that much that you can lock yourself out off right now, because there are not a lot of events.
The game doesn't have really structure as for now (also partially due to the sandbox genre, which is nice imo) so you can freely choose how you want to progress on your own terms. Events will always trigger and announce themselves pretty obvious at certain points, like your aunt after she asks you for help, to move her stuff to her new apartment.
You gotta note tho, that it's not real content, like, it has not much to offer and doesn't change anything later on.
Most events right now are nothing but a few texts more that you can read, but will have no follow-up or consequences in any way.
Btw. your wish for more "structure" is targeted by VRen right now with the newest updates.
The advanced taboo-system for example, is going to put you in a bit more linear way when it comes down to corrupting.
VRen was also just recently talking about, how he wants to completly overhaul the business mechanics with the upcoming patch, by tying serums to certain events/stages of the game and in order to advance to new serums, you gotta go through certain events to unlock them. In other words - exactly what you're asking for/missing in the game.
