Excellent, thanks for the information.


Fair enough man, apologies for not being more clear then. I haven't been keeping up with the development of the game nor Faerin's plans for the future of the game which is why I was trying to ask about it. I hadn't really thought about the fact that you could potentially ignore the side-chicks since I've had no issue with any of them so far and wanted to pursue them, so I wasn't aware that ignoring the side chicks wouldn't cause the same sort of "locking" on the main girls as is in the reverse.

That's mostly what I wanted to know, if Faerin was planning on "tightening up" the crossovers between the side girls and their main character counterparts (specifically with Diane) or if it was going to be more independent of each other. I don't keep up with the developer (as I mentioned I haven't even played since version 6ish) so I'm unaware of any other upcoming plans he may or may not have (and obviously in the same token, I am not a patron on his patreon so anything related to that is news to me as well.

Also, since I've happily been pursuing all of the side chicks up until Diane, I wasn't aware that ignoring the side chicks wouldn't "lock" progress with the main chicks they've been paired with in a similar fashion to how ignoring the main chicks "locks" the side chicks' progress.

TL;dr to all of this is that I should probably start looking into Author's Notes from here on out and seeing what he has planned for the future, rather than be boneheaded and ask stupid questions that I'm sure the author has already answered. I'm broke right now or I would probably definitely become a Patron to keep up with any additional updates to the game, as I absolutely LOVE this game.
No worries mate I was probably a bit more tetchy than I should have been so anytime you need help or need a question answering please feel free to ask, on here you really dont know if someones trying to make you look like an idiot or asking a genuine question so sorry if I went off on one :)

Hey guys,

Just to clarify things a bit:
My intention has always been to keep storylines as much separated as possible, so you can pursue the girl(s) of your choice.
That being said, each of the 3 main girls (Ashley, Veronica & Claire) are tied to other characters and progress with these 3 is required to unlock the side characters, however as @larry5168 & @Thermophob already said, this normally doesn't work the other way around. Debbie and Angel are the exception here.
(Right now Sophia is tied to the same storyline and I have plans to change that in the future, as I don't think that adds any value to the storyline/game.)

I made this decision, because I think the game tells a more complete story when some storylines are intertwined, instead of each girl being completely seperate from all the others. Also it adds sort of a "layer/tier" to the game where advancing one girl rewards you with additional content, which I personally like (as long as the storylines are connected and make sense).

I hope this clears things up a little.

At the moment Dianes content is completely separate from Claires or any of the others girls storylines if you dont read the last email on the PC from Claire you wouldnt even know she existed. Faerin has tried to include everyones niche in the game except the really extreme ones this is one niche you dont like but others do, but luckily for you and anyone else who isnt into Femdom it can be easily avoided and who knows in typical MCs style he may yet get to turn the tables on her who knows
I am and always have been in favor of "something for everyone," though whether or not that philosophy should apply to any given game is a matter for the developer to decide. I don't think that every game needs to cater to everyone. But I have no problem with Femdom, or any other fetish which I don't personally enjoy, being included in this or any other game, so long as I don't have to play through it.

That being said, I'm also someone who usually tries for 100% game completion. And as for Diane being avoidable if you don't read the emails, reading the emails is part of advancing the Angel storyline, unless I've misunderstood. So, wanting to advance that story, I have the MC read the emails. If Femdom is going to necessarily follow from that, I may have to rethink pursuing the Angel storyline.

I realize that it would be a lot of extra work for Faerin, but my preferred solution would be to have diverging paths for Diane, one submissive and one dominant. Heck, if catering to people who like Femdom is the consideration here, the same could even be applied to Veronica. But if the only path for a given character, like Diane, is Femdom, then give me an "abort" switch once I've encountered her, so that I can skip that content. Either that, or give me the chance to flip the script on her fairly quickly and take a dominant path with her.

I'll wait to see in which direction Faerin decides to take it.

No you are correct reading the emails is part of Angels story line but those emails are on Claires laptop in her bedroom, the final email that triggers the Diane content is on your PC and has been sent to the fake email account you set up for Dr. Mathews so like I said once you do the dirty with Claire and get her to date level you never have to read the final email so Diane content will not trigger.
As for completing the game 100% I played FFXV to its completion and I hated doing the Chocobo racing and training but it was part of the game and to complete the game I needed to do it so I bit the bullet and did it because I wanted to completely finish the game.
For me the Diane content is neither a turn on or a turn off its just another element to the game that I need to complete to get to 100%, but as I have said before this content is for the moment avoidable.
If theres one thing going for Diane she has triggered a debate over Femdom which is quite interesting really and whether you like her or not she seems to have triggered even more interest in the game and I honestly never thought that she would be such a contravertial character.
So play the content or dont play the content that is up to you as its avoidable but what I would say in finalising is Diane is a powerful woman in a digital porn game set in a fantasy world she doesnt bite or does she :)

In the walktrough it says that I have to eavesdrop at 22:00 at Bedroom (Aunt Emma), where is that? obviously not mom's because it always appears at 22:00 the option to peek to see her brush her hair, also aunt Emma has not appear at the house yet.

What does the hint for Claire say the walkthroughs are great but are only meant to be really a guide so if you sre stuck with a hint you can refer to the walkthrough to help you as everyone plays the game differently just follow the on screen hints until you become stuck

It says that when she's getting ready for bed sometimes she forgets to close her door, I already peeked and she wins a point of arousal if you confess to her (according to the Walktrough) but she doesn't get any point (I'm currently at 25 points for Love and 5 for Arousal) and I can't eavesdrop or anything.
