Well, at least Annie looks passibly like Annie this time. First time I've recognized her without a lineup card since... March?
New artist is learning how to render and is trying to render everything for update 4, at this point it has been a year since last update and there's really no expectation that a new update will be out until August or September (if we are lucky). It's sad because this game had a lot of buzz but I am fairly sure that it has all died. Perhaps if they can get back to an update every 3-4 months and do it reliably we will see some excitement for the game.What even the fuck is going on at this point?
When we had the same discussion a while ago, the devs did assert that the gf hadn't cheated on him, so that seems to be a fact.New artist is learning how to render and is trying to render everything for update 4, at this point it has been a year since last update and there's really no expectation that a new update will be out until August or September (if we are lucky).

Though they also have to solve the whole ex-gf issue. In that I mean they made it look like she had moved on and cheated (classic cheating setup) but we've been told there will be no NTR or cheating in the game... SO that means if she didn't cheat and didn't break up with the MC then he is the douchebag who cheated on his girlfriend (he also didn't break up with her in anyway).
Yeah, I just don't like the set up. I am fine with the gf cheating and then being out of the picture as a way to get a game or story going. Instead what we have is the MC trying to communicate, her ghosting him, the MC believing it to be over and trying to move on (he didn't fuck anyone until he thought the relationship was over). So now we are going to have the MC being confronted with gf, her saying it's all a misunderstanding, and then either she has to forgive him his indiscretions, something along the lines of "I understand, it was all my fault, I hope you can forgive" or she has to scream and yell at him and then he has to try to "fix" things. Not sure why he would want to fix things but <shrug> she is a love interest. I also expect the MC to feel guilty about his fucking other women because he's a good guy who was trying his best to keep his relationship going.When we had the same discussion a while ago, the devs did assert that the gf hadn't cheated on him, so that seems to be a fact.
I wouldn't call the MC a douchebag. His fears and subsequent reaction are entirely reasonable all things considered. Let's just see it as an unfortunate misunderstanding that will lead to some drama (if we ever get an update, that is).
Ah now I remember that part in the story, this whole thread went nuts trying to figure out if she was cheating or not.Though they also have to solve the whole ex-gf issue.

Yep! It really did. It was frustrating since the MC only takes the word of one unnamed friend/acquaintance and a picture or two. Then the MC decides to embrace bachelorhood and fuck some strange. LOLAh now I remember that part in the story, this whole thread went nuts trying to figure out if she was cheating or not.
Yeah man she would have responded to MC's mails (Which he writes to her everyday). At least just a small response whats happening with her cause he is telling things happening with him in his mails. (or) Maybe MC should have sent a closure mail to her before he got drunk like a Troll after seeing her Pic or called her. We can only speculate in the end its all up to Dev. Hope we will know soon ( In the coming updates(I hope they will release them soon )).Yep! It really did.

To me, if the gf still wanted him she shouldn't have ghosted him for 2 months (or however long it was). Doesn't matter if she is fucking someone or not, unless she is in a coma in the hospital or she broke both her hands there's no excuse for not calling/emailing/writing/whatever.
+1 for the puppy, congratulations! Have to admit I was pretty surprised scrolling through here and seeing a puppy picture lol. Looking forward to whenever the next update is, I need more Morgan in my life again!View attachment 1295877

Probably not a long update, but we will see. I generally do these off the cuff and talk about what has happened over the last week. I actually have to go back and look back at my previous post as I thought I had mentioned something last week then remembered I can't yet as Inkwell would hurt me. However I can mention this. The ever wonderful Mr. Puggy was kind enough to make me an asset for taptunes, or to really avoid copyright, should probably call them taptones, but then that sounds like an app to get ringtones from so... hell I don't know. All I know it he made us an asset that I wanted to help fill out the bar. Pretty sure he will be sick of me soon as I get these random ideas and I go to him and say "Hey, can you do this?" to which he replies "Who are you and how did you get in my house?".... Wait, I'm not suppose to talk about that until the case is settled so.... mums the word.
Regardless, Puggy:You must be registered to see the linksYou must be registered to see the links
Overall, progress continues. I'm very happy I am out of that large scene as that was a bear and then some. The current scene is a lot of fun as it still involves many path variables so you go from creating art for one segment to creating for the other. While there may be some similarities, it also has it's own minor variances. Most of this is due to me being a bit anal as I don't want to reuse, generally speaking, but with subtle changes in path would to me require subtle changes in tone and expression.
It's things like this that really suck you in and force you to think like a photographer or even a cinematographer. Framing just right, capturing just the right expression and pose. All of these things help sell a scene, and without them you fall on your face. Now and again I have played games where expressions are rarely changed yet the story is very entertaining. You find yourself wondering why put so much effort in to one aspect, but not into another. But alas. There have been times where I fight with the eyes of a character as they look like the Care Bear stare vs actually looking at the camera or another character. Just this dead look that sucks me out of the image and it's a struggle to get it to sit right so it doesn't look dead or fake. One of my least favorite things to have to fix. I have started to notice that eye lids can help with this. Weird I know, but the only way I can think to express it.
So, at this point many are probably wondering about the title and going... what about the puppy. Xena and I will have a puppy by first week in August, we actually got to see the little guys yesterday at the breeders location. Was absolutely wonderful. The parents and one grandparents were on site which was so cool to see. The mentalities of all the dogs was just all love. Red Golden Retrievers, for the record.. Hope you guys enjoy the attached picture.
One last thing, HopesGaming gave me a shout out and it only feels right to return the favor. Mr Hopes is doing a deep, in depth, Mafia story that is well thought out and wonderful, definitely give him a look, nothing out there really like this, and his art style is very fun.

As I say all the time, thank you so very much to each and every one of you guys. Your support means the world to us. Take care and as always,
Bottoms up,

So true mate. That has being eating at the back of my skull for a year now. If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck and stinks like a duck and it is an elephant (according to the dev). It's going to take some top notch creative writing to come up with a palatable explanation as to why she ghosted him while going out on a date (possibly more) with another dude.Yeah man she would have responded to MC's mails (Which he writes to her everyday).

When I was with my ex-gf (whom I dated and who I lived with for years), some acquaintances and neighbours would occasionally walk up to my mom to tattletale on me saying they'd seen me in certain places with a different girl. Sometimes they would even tell her they saw us holding hands.So true mate. That has being eating at the back of my skull for a year now.

Assuming that the information is in fact correct, she may have not cheated by having sex but she effectively abandoned the MC and started a new relation without informing him. I will go ahead and say that I believe that there is no such thing as having "friendly" dinner dates with people of the opposite sex while you are in a serious relationship with someone. That shit is spitting on your significant other and asking for a laugh.
Yeah the moment you try to explain what is happening in the big picture without the girlfriend looking like a piece of shit. You end up solving a Fourier series for signal processing with only the fingers on your left hand and no calculator.When I was with my ex-gf (whom I dated and who I lived with for years), some acquaintances and neighbours would occasionally walk up to my mom to tattletale on me saying they'd seen me in certain places with a different girl.

The first part was true, as I would met up with that girl every now and then.
Needless to say, the second part was just an invention that made the story juicier: it would be weird to hold hands with my own cousin.
So yeah, there might be a plausible explanation to Fiona's unknown companion. The ghosting part will be tougher to swallow though.

As you said. The scenarios I have played in my mind fall apart when I add up the parts we know (she ghosted the MC and she went out clubbing with a man).
Shit man I could keep going and keep working up myself, I blame you for this mate.
- I have being too occupied - False - It takes 5 minutes to write or call and going out clubbing takes hours.
- I am having doubts about my future - False - Those are plans BOTH of them had, she should talk about it with all parts involved.
- I am feeling lonely - False - Take a weekend to visit.
- I am considering other options and not telling you - Bitch - She is playing the field keeping the MC as backup if all else fails.
- He is a cousin (why not) - Really bitch - I would assume he knows her family, if not, see points 1 & 3.
- He is a potential employer - Again bitch - See points 1 & 2.
- This situation is difficult for me - Self-serving ass - The MC is taking care of his dying last relative and working, see points 2 & 3.
