I agree with some of the statements above in regards to the style of relationships. In my opinion I've seen cheating, cheating/sharing and master/slave. If I'm correct Danny and Lisa haven't come to an agreement with playing outside there relationship, so an open relationship should still be on hold.
In regards to the fixes and patches. As of yesterday, an individual would have to add the fixes and patches. Unless posted otherwise the main downloads were never updated, unless it happened today.
At this point they barely have a relationship at all lol. He's mostly just there to be cheated on. I don't think any of the relationships will get straightened out with rules or limits especially at this point where she's too far gone to be able to stop. Any agreement made would just end up being broken. Seems most likely the game will just follow the cheating path or cheating/sharing path and throw in as many different people/places/pets/positions/etc as possible to check off the list of kinks and keep the game going.
I've really neglected the Faithful route quite honestlyHmm... All is great... But a bit disappointed with as you know "vanilla route". I kept seeing NTR scenes, that more than just "a vibe" here and there... I just hope you really lock every unpleasant scenes if we choose that one and only route... Also when you make teasing scenes where Lisa and her boyfriend always get disturbed when they try to start their nice time, it's so quite annoying...
I Don't mind with the another "bad/dark" routes, but please just give that the only one peace route some real "peace"...
The Bathhouse scene isn't written yet mate, it'll be added in a patch over the weekend. The RLD freeze - I've uploaded a file that may fix it but I'm not sure what causes it so it's hopeful thinking ^_^
Attached is a file that will open the scene in the recollection room after the camping trip has been completed (it's unavailable after the hot tub is installed)
I have no idea what the latter is so Mac it is x)!!Mac not MAC
Mac = Macintosh
MAC = Media Access Control
Anyway, Mac-Users should try to move the application (game.app) into their Application folder.
No there was no anal buddy ^_^ I know it's very dark, it is quite a challenge to light those particular areas in dark scenes when the characters are bumping thighs
I understand where you're coming from but it's just how I wrote Calvin's character, it's exampled again during the Camping Trip. There was some amount of backlash about it then too but I am still convinced that this perhaps unsavory character trait isn't that far away from who he actually is as a person.
The language used during sex scenes isn't directly representative of what's actually real, it's heated dialogue intended to increase the eroticism so mentioning about becoming his slut is exciting to Lisa but never comes to fruition outside of that scenario. I do get what you mean entirely, when I put that scene together I was quite happy with it but as I grow and learn and feel a lot more confident writing in particular I've come to like it less. I am getting better
There is a Faithful route intended but it's been put on the back burner for now buddy.
The attached map file will fix a pretty awful bug in the recollection room, it'll be added to the next patch tomorrow/Monday but just in case you're trying to view something after the Gathering you might wanna plug that one in ^_^
Whoaaaaa you managed to get out of the Mod Shop wearing the garage uniform? o.o that's 110% a bug. How did you manage that btw? xD You're not supposed to be able to leave the Mod Shop with that outfit equipped
Glad you're enjoying it buddy <3!After so much searching finally found a game in which meets all my expectations, thank you very much for the work you have done, the game is sensational from my point of view, I'm waiting for next updates
The changelog on the OP should show all new content between 0.5 and 1.00.5 to 1.0 i dont see any progress, still the same events completed
On the swim trip?
I'm confused as to where you are xDThat scene hasn't been written yet mates, it'll be updated in the next day or two x
www>data
Yup, the scene isn't written yet ^_^
Oh don't get me wrong I'm not advocating for more of the faithful route. If anything I would prefer if she could end things with the BF sooner. He just doesn't bring anything of substance to the game except her requiring someone to cheat on. Literally every other male character seems to have a better rapport (especially sexually) with her. It barely seems to bother her anymore when she cheats so his value is becoming less and less. I understand it's kind of de rigeur for the NTR/corruption genre for the boyfriend/husband/significant other to be a small dicked loser who's incompetent and oblivious to everything going on around him but it always begs the question, why were they together in the first place. I know they're purposefully written and depicted to be generally unlikeable so the cheating aspect isn't seen as such a negative but it also kind of cheapens the impact it has. Does it really matter if she cheats on someone she doesn't seem to actually care for anymore? Someone who barely makes her happy and can't satisfy her that well? Even if/when the boyfriend finds out, would there be any repercussions to it? If anything her life would probably improve. It also makes it really hard to imagine a faithful route now.I've really neglected the Faithful route quite honestly

I think Danny is probably the most contentious character in the game, a lot of players really hate him which makes it difficult to justify investing time and resources into scenes that a huge portion of the player base will dislike. Players may choose to end their relationship after Lisa graduates. His character isn't overly important to the story outside of the Faithful route (which as I mentioned is on hold) and he has been and will continue seeing less time on screen as the plot drives further on.
There is little difference in Lisa's behaviour between the Sharing & Cheating routes but that's because the game's scenes are progress gated and the Cheating & Sharing routes only apply to her relationship with Danny. The rest of her life is left mostly unchanged by this choice other than her guilt making guest appearances if the player is on the Cheating route. ^_^

The changelog on the OP should show all new content between 0.5 and 1.0
It's mostly centered around the Hotel and the Mod Shop x
I feel you man and I think you're right in thinking Danny's being used mostly as a plot device. It wasn't intended to be this way out of the gate which is apparent given the amount of content with him present in the first release. It all stemmed from the public outcry about his character after Episode 1 went public, it really was one of the major talking points when I first posted the game and I just figured as he isn't in any way pivotal to the actual story of the game that I'd simply focus more of my efforts elsewhere. I think honestly I need to give him some more content but simply make it optional because where he is currently isn't appeasing either side of the aisle the way I want to x
I think it's too late for her to have any semblance of a normal life with the boyfriend. To be fair the game hasn't really been about her finishing her studies to try to attain a happy life for a while now. It's understandable seeing as how it's an adult VN and the lewd scenes are what keep people interested and as the dev mentioned the majority of people don't seem to want to see her having sex with him and prefer the cheating/ntr aspect of the game. I'd guess even the sharing scenes aren't as appreciated as the straight cheating/ntr scenes. Especially with this genre where the sexual objectification of the female comes with the territory and the boyfriend often can't do anything but watch helplessly, it seems to be what most people are here for.
I think it's the cost of doing business in the NTR/corruption genre. I play quite a few and almost every game falls into the same dilemma. It's kind of a catch 22. You need to depict the bf as sort of an inadequate weakling with a small penis and who is unaware of what's happening. They are meant to be unlikeable so the female MC doesn't come off as a total heartless bitch and what she does becomes more palatable. Before you know it she's slept with half the city and only verbalizes her guilt but doesn't hesitate to jump on the next available dick whether they're old/young/fat/ugly/homeless/an animal/dirty/etc. The bf is kept around, as you said, merely as a plot device to allow the 'cheating' aspect to continue. Often times the game will have a faithful or love route but even in those routes the FMC cheats and whores around making it difficult to actually complete that route in a way that makes sense. I'm not sure if you've played them but The Adventurous couple, Anna's Exciting Affection, Lily of the Valley, Angelica's Temptation From the Beginning just to name a few other NTR/Corruption games that fall victim to the exact same issue. For many the problem was they didn't have a coherent story laid out and just catered to the biggest donating subscribers and just kept adding more and more to the point where nothing really makes sense and it's just about introducing new people and kinks for the FMC with no actual resolution or end in sight. I wish the stakes could be higher. Like in Anna's exciting affection one of the guys she sleeps with is some gangster who is jealous and possessive. If she started a relationship with him and kept sleeping around and got caught, what ensues would likely be very entertaining. Instead they keep her in a relationship with the original boyfriend who is in a coma for the remainder of the game while she sleeps with anyone and everyone else. Yes. A coma. Just to be able to say she's technically cheating still despite her having admitted she resents him and having sex with his dad on top of him while he's in a coma. The boyfriend in this game falls asleep so often it's almost like he's half way to comatose himself lol.I feel you man and I think you're right in thinking Danny's being used mostly as a plot device.

I don't think that a changing opinion about what you've written in the past is necessarily an indication of growth or improvement as a writer. I don't doubt that the experience of writing this game has made you a better writer, but it doesn't follow that your own assessment of what you've written in the past will therefore be infallible, or even that it will correctly indicate the ways in which you've improved. Lots of people, including some of the most popular writers of fiction, wrongly judge their own past work.The language used during sex scenes isn't directly representative of what's actually real, it's heated dialogue intended to increase the eroticism so mentioning about becoming his slut is exciting to Lisa but never comes to fruition outside of that scenario.

I don't agree. He doesn't add much, at this point, but that's perhaps partly due to the character and relationship having been neglected in the storytelling. But the little which he does add is of substance for the character of Lisa. And the potential for the character of Danny and his relationship with Lisa still remains, in spite of the current neglect of that storyline.
I agree.
I'm not sure about "a normal life", but I do advocate for the idea that they can have their adventures without abandoning the relationship.
Except they have been together since start of the school year and he proclaimed his love. Lisa hasn't said she loves him, but she does like him and considers it a serious relationship. If she wants to have sex without him she should break up or it's a cheating route. She wasn't too far gone in my game as the only thing I had done was the Danny date and the swim trip. Picking the share route lead to cheating, not what I expected for that route. Plus if she gets "too far gone to be able to stop" that leaves her/player without choices to make. I don't mind a female protag that is slutty and/or kinky, but I like to be able to determine if they do or do not act on it and not be a brain dead bimbo who gets forced into situations not of her choosing. I know a lot of players like that and that's fine, I just thought the sharing route was different. Also, I don't think it was a cheating/sharing path given, it was sharing/hot wife if I remember correctly.
When I say too far gone I guess I'm referring to how whether it's sharing or cheating, her inner monologue doesn't really reflect that much remorse or guilt both while it's happening and after the fact. Well it's never strong enough for her to stop or slow things down even if the boyfriend is right beside them (sleeping and clueless of course) or if she's with multiple other guys at the same time. She's not able to fight back those feelings once they start, and interesting to note, feelings she doesn't seem to have for or with the boyfriend. As you mentioned the sharing path just becomes the cheating/cuck path. She will cheat and even during the sharing scenes the boyfriend guy is like a side actor. Watching while jerking off or busting a nut early and then falling asleep while the other guy and his girl emasculate him and his girl gets dominated and satisfied much better sexualy by the other guy. The 'sharing' lasts about half a scene before it becomes cheating/cuck for the rest of the game. I imagine the faithful route will be her only cheating with a few guys instead of every guy. I kid I kid.
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.
Why it has to be like that? I mean, you can have the classic cheating/corruption path as every FMC, but you can also have a real sharing path where both members of the couple are on a discovery path together. It's what Illegible Mink is trying to do in his game, or at least I think so because it just on the starting phase.
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.
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.
I agree with pretty much everything you said.
