Hi Asphyx How you have been ?
yes you're right, but (it happens to me in my anxiety to se the new contentx'Dx'Dx'Dx'D ) at the begining of version 0.68 apears a text box telling u about the Dating system and how u can send a Txt msg to the Girl,
but no hint on the Phone later on, so it's easy to skip that Textbox and don't be aware what it really say's (I found it later on trough the try and error system and chating on this tread.)
Guess Faerin since it was a try out how the Dating sys works and if it would be acepted will change it in future versions ,
Hey Brother, Been busy here myself...
It wasn't a big problem for me because I already knew the dating thing was there (from hanging out here). The only problem I had is my save game started on Friday and by the time I tried texting her it was already Sunday so I had to burn up a week! LOL
I'm sure it was just an oversight as he probably spent most of his time on the actual event itself as it was quite extensive...
But if the hint system is going to work well enough to replace the Walkthrough in the future it's probably best to have a hint there whenever an achievement is available. Even a Simple "I should try texting Ash" would be more than hint enough. Or if he prefer to keep it more challenging simply say "Try going on a date" and leave it for us to figure out that means texting her as another challenge. But I think the date itself is challenging enough that the "Text Ashley" hint will work without giving too much away.
Not everyone is going to start at the same place and someone who starts the game 3 months from now probably won't get that dating message or even be in a position to use that message to try it since they will not have progressed enough to go on the date yet.
