Hey, I'm finding that the skip unseen text function, even when turned off, will still skip text about 50% of the time? It's acting weirdly inconsistent.

Is it just me, or did you use two different models for Fiona...? It was particularly striking for me because one hairdo is used for a mid-30's character in Braindrop's WVM game.

Going through a skip playthrough, I checked out Eliza's path for kicking in the arcade door, but had 1/2 Strength, kept going down the branch after failing, and then got an error for the respect relationship choice.

It does rollback surprisingly cleanly, though.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I mean trans people can be into girls you know. Also you can use the multi-quote feature rather than spamming comments

ok dude no need to be political about it

 

[burbero]

if you are rude and low respect points she has sex with you after you beat the guy up

Oh, I understand now thank you! So, like Piper, are there any girls who have sex or path because of rough scores?

I'm not 100% sure on this so take this with a grain of salt. But when I was speed running through the game picking asshole choices to get rude points to see the Piper scene. I saw one with Linda I missed so either I just picked the wrong dialogue or choices or she needs rude points as well.

Piper likes rough guys and gets horny when MC knocks the other guy down. He takes her to a room and rough sex ensues... He looks just like the sub/dom because he then calls MC "daddy"...

 

[fishbrain]

Everyone complaining about the mom not being a LI and I'm just sitting here anxious to bang Alex's mom. lol

Like I said before, just change the mothers model to Betty White or something and people will stop wanting to bang her. Maybe. I hope.

I don't know man she was pretty hot on Golden Girls.

 

[kcoope89]

Fuckin hell these renders look amazing, can't wait to test this out!

 

[Ponka]

6. Will there be Gay/Bisexual content?
- No.

Naw man there goes ma chance with Alex

 

[MrSancini]

Anyone here had a problem on 0.4.2 that the game didn't recognise the saves?

Because when I first opened the game, it was like I had 0 saves.

However, on the following day, when I opened the game, the saves were there.

I would really like Alex to be a girl in disguise. This character has really unique and attractive female face and hairstyle and overall style, it would be a waste of great female potential for a good romance and intresting story if you leave him just as guy. Alex simply craving to be a female, from both sides - story and aesthetic. The first time I saw this character, I immediately thought - "damn this girl is so good and unique, might be my top LI in future", but alas (atleast from what i saw in this topic about author's decisions on Alex)

(perhaps for lovers of trans or gay content - it will not be waste. Just my personal humble opinion as a girls lover)

 

[Skybreaker1337]

Reading some comments got me thinking how this situation actually negatively affects my gameplay.

Since I know there is no mom content I just skip her lines, going by the logic of no content -> no decisions -> nothing she says will affect the story in any way -> skip. I actually didn't even think of the possibility she will get merked (or, more realistically, father blackmails us to work for him through threatening to merk her).

Now that you guys put the bug in my head I actually hope she dies, that way she's out of the game and the problem of her model being great, but not serving a purpose beyond "plot device" would simply fix itself.

Reminds me of ViKtor's lab assistant in Arcane.

Nice to see people are getting along.
Anyways wanted to mention that I'll be closing the poll tomorrow. So if you haven't voted, I'd suggest doing so now.

I'd like to reply to everyone's comments but I'm a little tired right now and would like to get some sleep. I've got tomorrow off so if you have any questions or suggestions you want answered, let me know.

Well if you are taking questions there is one thing that has been kind of bugging me since I played this wonderful game for the first time and my theory probably makes little to no sense especially when you consider dev time. Since the MC is away for 2 months is it safe to assume most of the girls we met at the university are side girls? Cause to me living at home away from them feels like a mini reset of the relationships of a sort cause I cant think of a reason why they would visit us or we visit them before the 2 months considering exams are close.

Cause as of right now my theory is there is 2 sets of main girls depending on a decision we probably will make about our fathers company later. I would think that decision influences if we stay at home or go back to university and which set of main girls we would be able to peruse / be near. But that theory doesnt make sense to me when you consider the dev time I think. So it's something that been on my mind alot and bugging me. If it's something you dont want to answer cause it will be spoilers about future content I understand but figure id ask anyways.

Thanks for making this wonderful game it's in my top 10.

I would hope something that she says or a decision we make later would make her do something that would affect the story at some point even if it's to a small degree. Just cause she isn't a LI doesn't mean she cant have any impact on the story or the MC at some point. I may be in the minority in this thread since most want her to be a LI but I think getting rid of the mother would be worse for the story to me. The wholesomeness of the mother is what I like about her and some of my favorite moments since we got into Chapter 4 and why I never thought once I want the MC to have sex with her just cause she is a hot character model.

That's exactly what I thought too. In the current state of the game, there is only one girl who keeps in touch with MC on the phone. The others we met almost disappear, and there is no possibility to build a relationship. The first girl MC has sex with is literally out of the game, even though I think it could be the defining relationship of his life. It's frustrating that you like a girl and you can't communicate with her, because new girls always come into the story. Choosing between two cities makes this even more difficult, and you may even lose friends. Now I don't see where this story will lead, but I hope these questions will be resolved and soon we will see the girls we have met so far...

On the one hand, games like this (where there are real characters and even MALE characters who have their own arcs and love interests) are so rare in this genre it's ridiculous and it would only make the game better to have Alex be your 'back home bro', and frankly you're already going to fuck his mom....

Buuuuuut.... There is just something about Alex. Why the cute fem face on that tiny little body? If he is actually a she in disguise, splitting her open would be just the kind of semi fucked up but super duper hot content we've come to expect from this dev.

That's actually true. From a story standpoint, you interacted with the first set of introduced LI once or twice then disappear for 2 months. The only one you keep in contact with is Torrie, but even then it's twice so far. It's quite the reset to any relationship building since no real foundation was built in the first place.

But yeah, that's gonna be an annoying dev cycle if the story branches between a choice of university or home town. No one really knows each other well enough to consider traveling back and forth.

Plus Alex got some real nice booty too. Yeah.. I think he could actually be she but trans.

I agree. The potential for the “gender disguise and reveal” storyline is so great that it would be a shame not to take advantage of it. I can say the same about Alex’s appearance, she is a very beautiful girl and her character goes very well with her appearance, there is something very special about her, that I rarely see in games. The options for building a super hot storyline with the girl Alex are huge. I would easily accept the idea of Alex being "just a bro" if his appearance wasn't so full of female beautifulness, it's too damn hot, too special.

"Just a bro" line is just a bro, just another common line, that appears in a bunch of games. I just look at Alex and this line simply doesn’t fit with the character in my head. Such a character deserves better, he/she is too good for such a simple, boring line.

 

[Acsuka]

Well, it seems that there is still a lot of speculation about Alex... Maybe we should ask the developer to make a beach scene and then we will see what Alex is wearing... Bikini or swimming trunks?

 

[BitingTheBullet]

Was talking to a friend earlier and he told me before the rework Alex used to have a beard and look like a guy. So if that is the case not a surprise. But yeah I was hoping Alex would be the childhood friend LI when you first see him in the prologue before I realized it was a dude.

Two different characters. Alex was introduced with the rework rather than pre-existing. I had his character designed sometime around Ch3A and was going to introduce him in Ch4 but saw a great opportunity to add a small scene in the opening for new players.

The other bearded character is Garrett, the professor. He had minimal changes to him.
