I never said replaying for different routes was boring. I even gave examples of other games that I enjoy finding different routes in. Adding replay value to the game with branching paths is great. What I was saying is that it was frustrating replaying the SAME route over and over trying to get everything just right. And on top of that the hints to find where I was making mistakes were on other routes. Like the example I gave of being given the location of the notebook in a scene with Carol only after repeatedly failing the Amy sumbission route.@CunningPig I see where you're coming from but you really do exaggerate a bit. From the first time you wake up in your room the game makes clear there is a point & click component and you have to be observant for items. I agree the items could be a bit more highlighted, but as veq said, it's something that will be adressed in the future.
Now, regarding the different branches I don't see your point. The game offers several different options to play different paths in different playthroughs. So I think saying replaying the game is boring because of the same scenes over and over again is invalid. You get completely different scenes in the love and submission routes, can find hidden bonus scenes, get different scenes from your choice of specialization and even then there are different approaches as you will most likely get a chance for a sharing path etc. So if you do things different every playthrough you will find new stuff. So you don't really repeat everything but explore new content. Also you should make use of the possibilities Ren'Py offers you like scrolling back or fast forward through known dialogue and scenes.
When I wrote the walkthrough and really went through all the scenes multiple times with different choices I found new details and stuff even when I thought I've seen it all. So if this game is not worth replaying I don't know what is.
I'm aware of how to operate renpy.
I was glad to hear Veqvil's response that he's already aware of and addressing the issues I brought up. I was really frustrated last night and didn't take the time to read the thread to see if they were already mentioned. The last time I had played was the first release, I tend to let a few updates come out before I revisit games I'm interested in and while I'm waiting I usually don't visit the threads to avoid spoilers. So I was at fault for bringing up a subject that was already addressed.
