again, her emotionally abusive mother is to blame. from a young age, she was manipulated into doing things her mother wanted and thought it would earn her love. yes, what she did is a crime but given the history behind their relationship and the fact her mother was the only one taking care of her, she did what she had to do to survive. also not all people who commit crimes like these tend to wanna admit it to others for fear of being left to fend for themselves. Jessie being as young as she was, she was probably scared if anyone knew the truth, no one would want to help her and would give up on her

Jessie being manipulated by her mom doesn't make Jessy manipulating everyone any better.
She's not that bad compared with the MC and other people but she ain't a saint either.

If it's true, Jessie blaming all the others is a shit move, but understandable given that she was probably in way over her head. It'll be interesting to see what she tells Jack about all of it. Maybe she regrets it or maybe Dylan doesn't know the full story. Either way, I'll reserve my judgement about what kind of person she is until then.

 

[Topper420]

For all we know, Jessie rolling on Dylan was her mom's plan to take potential heat off of herself. It is kind of shitty but if you're in a situation that you're starting to make a lane for yourself that is totally legit (Jessie being pretty fucking good at football), that would allow you to escape from the toxic people in your life, but it starts to crumble because of something you weren't fully on board with anyway, doing something shitty to someone who was probably shitty to you is a no brainer solution if it clears your mess.

just out of curiosity, what is actually about the version now

0.32-1
Episode 3, Part 2 of 3. Next update will be part 3 and called 0.33 and after that 0.41 and so on
This makes it the 5th update
A little confusing I guess

On the side note: Game asking for Restart from the start SUCKS!

Really. Must be so hard to hold down CTRL for a minute or two, eh? God forbid.

Or just press tab, that basically does the same thing but you don't have to hold it down.

 

[JustPeekin]

You can also right click the skip button, will skip you to the next choice.

Can the Mega Link get fixed, only site that restarting the download from scratch does not happen for connection issues.
Also when there is a data cap on internet account, having to restart when half way though a 2 gig down load, basically uses up one gig for nothing.
fssntuff

Yet there's at least a few pages of people asking for the option to rename the MC. Gotta pick a sword to fall on and know that it still isn't going to please everyone.

Imagine being this entitled for something you got for free.

The problem is not renaming itself, but the way it is made. You ask how you like Scarlett but no image of her is shown to the player to decide who is she gonna be the milf or sister or daughter whatsoever. That's the bug. And also a bug in renaming characters when the player press Enter assuming the default name is to be saved without changes but instead, it is just replaced with space...

We're talking about renaming Jack, who's only fully shown a couple times. He's the only one you can rename, and is nearly a self-insert. No idea who Scarlett is, either.

And also the bug in renaming characters when player press Enter assuming default name to be saved without changes but instead it just replaced with space...

I wrote the code for it myself and tested it long before I sent it back to Echo when I first added it, so I know it works. I'd guess you're hitting the spacebar before hitting enter, or something of that nature.

 

[EchoFoxtrot]

First I've heard of such a problem too.
Gonna try and get the hotfix made over the weekend.

Lol and who is Scarlet?

 

[Topper420]

Just a suggestion for game dev. U could have inserted the scenes that explained or showed us why Jessie ruined people's life before the intimate scenes with MC. She is one of those crazies that MC talks about but only jewels life is ruined with the better choice. Very off putting to be intimate with a psycho girl. There is a clash of ideas.

Jessie's POV story is coming, why would any story teller blow the whole story load in the first act or two? There's no clash of ideas, your take is a terrible story telling take. Please don't . . .

 

[EchoFoxtrot]

Such a big secret takes a lot of trust to reveal.
It will come in due time, also remember that only if you have sex with Christa do you even know at this point

 

[EchoFoxtrot]

Look at the comment, edited and properly conveyed it, though with English being a second language not sure I did.

How do u know that Jessie's 'pov' is coming? That is what I was asking the dev. My question assumes the her story with Dylan will take only few renders like her story about her mother.

When I meant 'ideas' I was talking with the game dev as a fellow developer working on his first game about his intentions. I meant his idea of wanting the next scene to be a sexy one in which mc and Jessie kiss but players still knowing that she is manipulative and did a bad thing. Looking at the discussions above, this was the topic most talked about. I was suggesting that by making Jessie remorseful before any intimate scenes, this feeling of whether or not to feel aroused could be avoided. Not a hater, bro. It is just suggestions to improve each other.

Jessie will come clean when Jack has earned her trust significantly and learn more about her past, the same way she learns more one bit at a time. Jack has done far worse things, hardly his place to judge her at that time.

Take into consideration what we learn about Jack from the sheriff.
Try to see the Jewel situation with Jack's eyes, how much is Jewels and Dylans life worth to him?

Makes sense, but what about the MC? He is still wrapped around her finger and don't feel curious till the end of the version. He was even praising her when hearing about the things she did. Is it that he is someone who would do the same and would not care about who he has to destroy to get what he wants, so he didn't feel like she did anything wrong? Since we are playing as the MC, his thoughts are in the screen, which should be our thoughts, but it was the opposite of his.

No need to reply. Just saw ur last post that somewhat answers this. Basically this is about MC's moral compass. Being a softy, felt very bad about Danny, jewel and most of all their kid. And telling the mom to not get involved in their life. Felt a little fucked up. And MC not mirroring this emotion is what made me give ask the question.

it's called a coping mechanism. from an early age, she was abused. so it makes sense that she has trust issues given her history. as for Dylan, he explains he was constantly getting into trouble in school so it makes more sense that he would look like the criminal. as for Jessie rolling on him, again this is survival instinct at work. throughout her childhood, she likely developed her fight or flight instincts to such an extreme degree, she thought this was her only real chance. she even mentions how she didn't finish school due to her personal circumstances involving the dealing. really, Jessie was a vulnerable girl whose mother took advantage of and ultimately while she sold out Dylan, it's due to her just wanting to escape like she did with her mother. while what she did was illegal, she has to live with that guilt until she can really trust someone. Christa doesn't know so that says her trust isn't earned through a few good deeds but by feeling safe with someone like MC since it's on record that Christa attacked Dylan at some point

Har har!

If this is the only game you ever played, then I guess you wont mind some skipping and replaying. But for others they might not enjoy skipping in every 2nd game they play after new release. It is time consuming task.
That skipping is not as fast you you made it sound. It is easy to hold down the key. But when the game presents you with a choice out of nowhere, then you have to backtrack some chatlog (if the game allows it) and read the conversation so you could make a good decision.

Especially if those "forced restarts" can be avoided. I know a thing about developing and I can tell you, that Devs can change the code without forcing people to restart. It can be be done. Only downside is the fact, that it adds some work for dev.

Buit you weren't talking about other games. You were talking about this one.

They might not enjoy skipping, but that's a cost of playing an in-development project. Shit changes. It's not time consuming, it's just being lazy.

I think this is also discussed above. U getting abused doesn't make it okay to do it to others. A villian having a story doesn't make it okay for him to do evil things. Not saying she is evil. Having this side makes her more deep but my question was about the reaction of MC to this new knowledge. He is so paranoid and puts his safety first but he just fawns over jessie like she is an angel the very next scene. To me what jessie did felt like a big deal and looking at discussions it's like that to some others too. If danny and jewel were more evil, it wouldn't be a problem. But like the story said. They were just losers.

I'm not saying it's okay to do it to others. all I'm saying is that given her childhood, she thought this was the only way to be loved. a cycle of abuse can lead to people believing things are acceptible
