VN Ren'Py Mastering the Pink Box [v0.09] [Studio 68 Games!]

[HoM11]

Can anyone explain what the deal between MC and Kyuw entails? I got so confused when reading the text and thought it didn't make sense and coupled with the time she asked him to come to her room when he was playing with Todd (which by the way is bugged, because just before we get the test results and we get to greet Kyuw she acts as if i denied her [variable kyuw_denied set to true, too] even though i already got the HJ scene with her. I resolved it temporarily with URM though).
To elaborate, during the scene where she asks for MC's number she states and I quote "If I don't beat you in today's test, I'll give you two Cartes Blanches" and adds "And if you beat me, I'll give you a blowjob". I'm sorry but the MC is winning in either case, why didn't she set the winning conditions for herself?
Those two statements are in MC's favor. I haven't played through the game again to try and refrain from making her owe me a favor and purposefully fail against her in the test so I wouldn't know.

Yeah, it does sound weird. Buuuut... they are also kinda both in HER favor, too. She either gets to perform two favors (could be kinky favors) for a guy whose cock she wants to suck (and who she wants to cum on her face) and gets his phone number (she really needs it). Or she gets to actually suck his cock. Win-win for her! She just gives him more motivation not only to match her test results but to surpass her. She cares both about her classmate's grades and healthy sex life! Kyuw is just an all around wonderful girl, isn't she?

 

[HoM11]

The more I think about it, the more I realize Kyuw is S tier.

The sharing content in this game is interesting. I very much dislike "sharing the MC's girls" content. But it seems like this games' version of sharing is just other guys offering to share their girls with the MC. Is that accurate?

If so, is that the only way to hookup with those girls? Like, if I say no to they Kyujammy Sharing Path or the Sharing Brandine path, are those girls' paths cut off from that point? Or is it just the MMF content that's locked off?

I'm genuinely curious about that. Are there any girl with just wholesome, somewhat romantic and no sharing/swinging content? I'd so not want to share Devon but apparently she agrees if the MC tells her he gets excited over people groping like a cuck.
I'm also curious as to how Charlie and Misty are considered major love interests when both of them are already in a relationship. I'd see Charlie breaking up with Hugh but not Misty no she's head over heels for Todd.
One more question, are Liz and Debbie mutually exclusive girls? You can get one but not the other depending on if you're friends with Bob or not?

I mean.... Devon straight up gives you the option... as you accurately said, she agrees if MC says he wants that, so I don't get what the issue is.

 

[Pr0GamerJohnny]

not choosing the option to like her being groped would probably means missing some of the swinging content with Misty and Todd (can anyone confirm this please?)

no, that's untrue, they're mutually exclusive. It's not like some games where you need to keep stacking corruption points to access events with separate characters. Saying no shenanigans with devon only means no shenanigans with devon.

You answered it yourself - if you don't like her or mc acting that way, then don't pick that option. Simple. It shouldn't affect stuff with other characters moving forward.

I was a bit conflicted about it. I personally wouldn't like sharing her specifically at all. I don't like random people groping much less doing more sexual stuff with her. In terms of the game plot and sharing focus, not choosing the option to like her being groped would probably means missing some of the swinging content with Misty and Todd (can anyone confirm this please?) and also make her still act all innocent as opposed to her acting more open after the lawyer date she says goodbye to MC while lifting her skirt when Mrs. Thompson comes to talk to him (if groping option is chosen). I think she only agreed because it's the MC himself but I still don't like him acting like a cuck and letting randoms feel her up. I think this comment below describes it perfectly:

I really disliked this train scene, or at least the options around it at the station. I think the situation is too nuanced for the options provided - you got disappointment because you said you didn't like it, but there are two ways of taking the "didn't like it" choice.

I picked it because I didn't like the guy doing that to Devon. If I'm romancing her (rather than just fucking, as with the other girls), I don't like the guy getting handsy with her, and she didn't seem to like it either, so we're on the same page there. However, I got the impression (from the disappointment) that she takes the comment differently - as if I was saying that I didn't like seeing more of her.

I liked seeing her showing skin, but I didn't like that it was because some random stranger on the train lifted her skirt. There's no option to suggest that.

On the other hand, this comment here also describes the Devon situation a bit:

got mixed feelings about devon, they are painting her as a sweet angel, but i dont know what skeletons we will find in her closet, considering her reaction in the train station about the dude groping her, even if you say you dont like it, she looks kinda disappointed, wich threw me off a lil bit

Oh, and I just despise the fact the she feels compelled to correct everyone and mention that's she's not MC's girlfriend. Girl like why so hypocritical? She drools over MC on one hand and on the other doesn't want to be romantically associated with him. I feel like Gareth is wedged here in the situation for some reason. I'd probably know more if i play the Bob friend route. Added to that, she only agreed to pretend to be MC's girlfriend as a way to solve the inheritance discussion with the lawyer. Way too much unnecessary drama. Who the hell brings a date to a legal discussion when she's not even related...

Oh that's a relief! Thanks for the reply. Can you answer the rest of the questions about the choice of major LIs (Misty and Charlie in particular) and about Liz/Debbie? Is there a confirmed list of the main LIs ?

Misty will be more or less off limits, because as you recognized, she's in a steady relationship and likes Todd very much. That doesn't mean there wont be all kinds of fun swinging events with her.

Liz is more tied to if you chose to startup the arcade business with her, separate from Bob and Devon.

Debbie, i COULD be wrong, but i think it's impossible to get her scene and path if you're friends with Bob - because then MC sets him up with her.

Charlie I have no idea on, I know she has her thing with Hugh but it's clear she doesn't really like him, and based on her intro at the PB club she's not really faithful to that relationship anyway. But I don't know where it will go next tbh.


I also dont know what will end up with Jammy and Kyuw. They seem more or less committed to each other, but on the other hand I'd put less faith in their relationship than Misty+Todd. Especially for those who saw the old professor blackmail bit.

Yeah about that Liz thing. I haven't gotten any scenes with her yet when I should've. I started the arcade business (Isn't part of the story anyway and not a choice IIRC?) and when I messaged her during the subway ride, I found another path with URM in which they continue texting saying something about a celebration implying there were other scenes before with her?
And getting back to Devon, she still has content when choosing no groping right? I'm still playing through slowly but I would've liked if there was separation between the option to share her/have her groped. I'd be confused but I probably wouldn't mind swapping with Todd since he gave us Misty as compensation.

yup, and others on his discord have complained about that too so there are a lot of people who didnt like the skeezy subway guy but wouldnt neccesarily mind some event with misty+todd+devon, so in future dev said he'll have a separate fork for that stuff.



Well and it doesnt hurt Misty's probably one of the most attractive characters in game

 

[Toukebri]

Yah at this point in game there really isn't even a need for a walkthrough yet - the only major fork is the saturday events, and for that you just need to know you can only do 2 of the 3.

So if you tell dean you can work, and tell librarian yes, then no Liz arcade. If you only tell one of them then yes Liz.

-edit; THIS MAY BE OUTDATED NOW

I kept searching and I found the answer to not getting Liz. I picked both the dean and the librarian. Does this statement still hold truth?

 

[Pr0GamerJohnny]

I *think* he changed it so that now you go to all three events regardless? Can someone else confirm? I havent played for like a month. It used to be you only got 2 out of 3, so if you said no to dean and yes library then you got library and Liz.

As I've said, I haven't gotten any content with Liz whatsoever and I picked to work for both the dean and librarian so maybe it IS still true?

 

[Toukebri]

Why the hell did the dean tell MC to barge in her office while she was getting licked by some guy? Her reaction after he enters doesn't imply she likes being watched which means she intended for MC to be the one licking her. I thought finding her with another guy was because of the time spent with Kyuw in the bathroom. Tried changing the variables to get off Kyuw's path to see if anything changes. Surprise surprise, the dean is still being devoured by a rando like the slut she is... the game is so frustrating sometimes. It's less about sharing and more of having sloppy seconds at this point. Will probably continue playing the game until the end of the update and then move on until the development finishes to avoid any further headaches.

I just checked and in current script the second liz visit happens regardless of other events


So if that never happened for you my guess is you're either going off an old save transfer or older version...

I'll find a way to rollback to an older save and mess up with the variables. Will try to dig up some dirt on Devon by changing paths hehe. Pretty sure she and Hugh were or still are an item.

 

[Toukebri]

This scene with Aimee was so stale in the vanilla route compared to the Bob route. Also in the post sex scene why is she saying MC has pictures of Ms Hatcher and a pic of Debbie with Bob in the non Bob route on his phone? Debbie is supposed to be with MC if he doesn't hook her up with Bob and Ms Hatcher is out of the question without getting her pics from Bob. That doesn't make sense right? Is my save file messed up or is this how it's supposed to be?

 

[HoM11]

I *think* he changed it so that now you go to all three events regardless? Can someone else confirm?

Can confirm. Just replayed from an early save. Accepted both jobs, got both the scene at dean's house, the scene with Debbie (can't be friends with Bob, because, yes, otherwise MC sets him up with her), and had fun with Liz.
