So, this is going to be a stupid question, but this is a sandbox game where events happen (or don't) at each possible location for the release... so how does one know if they even have a save that did 100% of Chapter 1 and is thus ready for all the content in Chapter 2?
That said, I'm attaching 14-4-LT1.save which was as far as I got in the Ren'Py version on 18 March ... which was while they were on the bus before the camping trip.
So, it's almost certainly NOT what you are looking for, but maybe it gets you close-ish to what you are looking for? Maybe not.
note: I haven't checked the developer notes for where Ch 1 ended and where Ch 1 began.
Will it affect my future gameplay since that scene never happened in my playthrough? I don't wanna miss a scene because of this. I think it was about pervert neighbour.
It feels more and more that the sharing path became a cucking path (foursome in the camping, the scene with his boyfriend's boss) and then you have the straight forward cheating path.
It's definitely leaning that way, I mentioned way back months ago and it's referenced in game during the swim trip about the fourth of Lisa's relationship routes. The fourth route actually is a cuck path. I have a good idea how to better frame the relationship paths going into Episode 3, a short scene where the lines are drawn between both parties
This doesn't match his behavior when he was rejected by Lisa (in the faithful path) at the beginning nor his behavior in general with her. He didn't seem like a bad guy, but then in the foursome he's the dominant one and the bad guy.
That's before anything happened between them though, once that was established Calvin becomes jealous and the weak side of jealous at that where it shows in how frustrated he gets.
So why the two paths? It will be easier for you to write only two paths, and let's be honest the cheating path will be the bigger one, as it happen with every female MC game.
Don't get me wrong. Your game is sexually arousing AF, Lisa is very hot and you have an history behind. It's just that when you give the player the chance to have a cheating path and a sharing path, he/she may expect different outcomes. Right now is like a cucking path and it doesn't match with Lisa's personality nor the relation between the two of them.
Because they're two completely separate sets of events and "kinks" I suppose. Lisa's relationship with Danny is only a slice of the game as a whole. Lisa's experiences outside of her relationship are mostly unchanged by it.
I just finished the 2 paths with moody and both are beautiful. Bravo for the writing and for the graphic rendering.
However, I remain convinced that the way of sharing is much more interesting and this road gives more interesting and more exciting situations. But that's just my opinion. I hope pale grass will not abandon this path. Once again congratulations for your wonderful work.
As someone who lost a dear, close relative this part really got to me.
Half my family got tattoos to mark his passing. I've wanted to, but never really been sure what would be appropriate perfect.
I know that to a LOT of people these AVNs are nothing more than "porn games", but damn. You really nailed this emotion. View attachment 1761578View attachment 1761598 (I'm not crying... but it's close.)
Yeah "let's get stuck in" is probably a very local term to my country now that I think about it, I have been known to use language that doesn't suit the setting ^_^
the "i" and "I" thing is always something I'm conscious of but actually do intentionally when it's preceeded by ".."
I dunno what it is but it just feels like it's a build up or that it's slightly meeker using the lower case after the .. even though it's grammatically incorrect. Aesthetically it looks nicer to my eyes, it's a weird one with me
Yea I get what you mean. I'm not sure if you've tried the game "The Adventurous Couple" but it kind of falls victim to the same thing. The original premise was a couple trying to spice up their sex life by experiencing adventures.. as a couple. However as soon as it's established that they can include others in their play (whether together or alone), the female character basically just sleeps with everyone and anyone and lies to the husband about it. The game doesn't even have separate routes for cheating/sharing/cuck etc it just has routes for specific men that she sleeps with (since almost all of them are cheating/cuck). There is no sharing or hotwifing or even doing anything as a couple anymore and the game has devolved into her just sleeping with any old/young/fat/ugly/animal/homeless person that she encounters and trying to jam as many different fetishes and kinks into the scenes. If you try to tell her no or slow down or want to do things just the two of you she gets upset and goes off to cheat more lol. They go on vacation to celebrate their anniversary but she spends the entire time sleeping with other people and lying to the husband about being tired lol. No matter how you play the game, she cheats and lies to the MC. Don't get me wrong the husband is no saint either as he sleeps around too but he tends to follow the rules they laid out while she shits all over them. I don't think I've seen a game that does the sharing in a realistic logical way. They always end up just being cheating/cucks in the end. It's clear at some point the dev changed the story based on the supporters suggestions and so much of the game doesn't make sense and the routes are all a jumbled mess. I'm hopeful this game won't end up the same way.
I think the format is entirely different between our games, I haven't played TAC in a very long time but I imagine it's difficult to continue popping out original content when the premise is so restrictive. I don't really see that being a problem here given that the game is functionally an RPG that lives within a city wide story.
The four routes for the Lisa's relationship with Danny are: Faithful, Sharing, Cheating, Cuckolding. The choice between Sharing & Cuckolding is made at the party in Ch3 as noted during the swim trip.
The story itself being centered around the Deloitte family and Lisa's involvement with it is only majorly affected by one relationship path and that is the Faithful route. This is only important as it brings Danny closer to that side of the city where he "changes" things (avoiding spoilers)
This whole convo has given me an idea like I mentioned above though, it's not the ideal scenario (ideally I'd have done it better from the start) but I think it'll better clarify and identify each of the relationship paths
Would've like to seen a stronger Danny that wanted to explore the various sexual boundaries out there. This included multiple types of bondage play.
Rape and blackmail could have stayed out of the story and never missed it. The in house byplay between Lisa and Paul, I was hoping of more of a love/hate relationship. In other words they love to screw each other brains out, but hate each other.
Sorry if I'm being annoying, but the sharing route it's affected by her relation with her boyfriend. Otherwise it's cheating/ntr or whatever tag it's appropriate.
However I'm glad to hear that those two routes will be differentiated in next updates, because until now cucking route and sharing route were the same.
Because compared to the other game you have an interesting story and you developed the relations between the characters, in relation with Lisa but also between them. And your MC and your renders in general are outstanding.
PaleGrass Every time you release, I think this game cannot get better, and every release cycle, you prove me wrong. I Love your work and your engagement with the players here is the icing on the cake. There aren't enough superlatives to describe my appreciation for you, so i will simply say "keep up the 'dirty' work"!
I just wanted to say that is probably one of the best games I've played on this site. I hope the dark scenes continue, and we hear more of Lisa's inner thoughts/fears.
The beta only adds a different version of Moddy's gathering depending on which route you're on (Cheating or Sharing).... for a walkthrough of the events in the Alpha please look at the changelog on the first page.
It feels like I've been working on Chapter 2 for eons and I'm so happy to finally have it completed. I WANNA WORK ON NEW STUFF!
So I was trying to get the local save plugin working to test in this release (as an option) but it's currently causing completely gamebreaking bugs and a total inability to save so it's sidelined for now ^_^ I will keep playing with it for the next release.
Anyway for those that have played the Beta already I wouldn't recommend downloading this if I'm honest. The only inclusions are all reported bugfixes (massive thank you to everyone to contacted me with bugs <3), the finished Gina & MM Bathhouse scene and lastly the NO route of the Gathering (the final CG of which can be seen above).
I'll be back to posting the regular weekly updates with Post Patch progress starting next week, thanks everyone
Not sure if its a bug or a variable but, when playing the beta, all of a sudden Sharon is my landlady io my aunt. Anybody knows what causes or how to repair this?
