anyone got a legit link to dl options.rpy? or how to make it? the one at the top of the thread is for a messenger app of some sort that looks shady as. I want to enable console.
Its worth it to check out. However, ask this in the walkthrough thread please!I'm seriously debating on getting into this story, but haven't checked out any of ICSTOR's work at all.
For those more knowledgeable than I, what's the appeal here?
Why do you need to download options.rpy? Is something wrong with the one that comes with the game?anyone got a legit link to dl options.rpy? or how to make it? the one at the top of the thread is for a messenger app of some sort that looks shady as. I want to enable console.
I think the part where you fucked up and everyone lost there shit is because you put in the ex-boyfriend in the game. Had it just been mentioned she has previous relationships just by text most of the player based wouldn't have cared but since they were interacting in game i guess everyone NTR flag went up. But i believe since now u know the mind-set of your player-base you wouldn't make the same mistake again. Sum it up the player base wants a Harem and no males in sight other than MC :coldsweat:Hi everyone,
For those of you who don't know me, I'm the writer for the game.
I just wanted to make a short announcement regarding Caroline.
*There are some minor spoilers for 0.4 included within this post, so I would urge you to read at your own caution.*
I've been given some leeway to write scenes as I see fit based upon the images provided. In some instances, this has allowed me to develop characters' backstories beyond what ICSTOR had originally designed or envisioned.
In this instance I chose for Caroline to have several ex-boyfriends given that she's a young woman in her mid-twenties. It only seemed natural that she would have had some previous relationships by that age. I didn't anticipate that it would lead to a backlash in any way. I strongly disagree with some individuals' claims that she is "the town bicycle" or a "slut," but I'm not here to start an argument.
One of the purposes of Caroline's exes was to provide a sharp contrast of how they treated her, compared with how the player treats her. The nightclub scene served as an example of such. Gradually, as Caroline and the player do more together she realises that nothing is the same as it was with her exes. She gets butterflies in her belly with every kiss, she experiences pleasure that past partners never gave to her, and she learns that she might be able to have a healthy romantic relationship with the player.
Another reason I chose this is because I felt it fitted well with her character. Caroline is a character who strives for maturity and independence (Granted, she can't always achieve her goals on her own). It made sense for her to be proactive in her social life, as well as her work life. This is why I wrote her character as having multiple previous relationships.
The final reason is that Caroline is a character who enjoys sex. She's more than happy to use it as a reward for the player when they assist her in her shop. Why would such a character who is both fiercely independent and
positive about sex choose NOT to date and try to find a boyfriend?
I do apologise if you are unhappy with how Caroline's backstory has developed. Any blame for that lies entirely with myself, and not with ICSTOR. At present, I am working with ICSTOR to make small alterations, including editing away references to multiple previous partners. Thankfully, in this medium of art, nothing is set in stone and adjustments can quickly and easily be made to resolve potential issues.
The most productive conversation that can probably be had regarding this is: Are you happy with any of the women having former partners? (Obviously some like Linda require at least one former partner for logic's sake.)
If the answer is a resolute 'no', then I know I can irk away from it during future versions of this game.
I'll remain around for the next hour or so to answer questions - but it's an extremely active thread, so if I don't get back to you I'm probably swamped replying to other users.
A little bit of confidence goes a long way too. Insecurities are a huge turn off guys.Regarding everyone losing their shit on the ex-boyfriend:
Some people just don't like competition and just resign themselves to lose.
A well-written ex-boyfriend could create an interesting dynamic as both he and the MC are trying to get into Caroline's pants. It was done extremely poorly in Big Brother so don't take any cues from that game (though in that case it was a NEW boyfriend, but end result was the same). I personally don't mind if you keep the ex in the game, just so long as he isn't another Eric. I haven't played the latest version yet (busy, busy) so I can't really give an opinion on the writing involved.
True, but i feel like from a business perspective why take the risk. I feel like the most successful game in the most part are super vanilla with MC and a Harem.Regarding everyone losing their shit on the ex-boyfriend:

Well, if peeps dont try other approaches we will never know.True, but i feel like from a business perspective why take the risk. I feel like the most successful game in the most part are super vanilla with MC and a Harem.
You are correct in your point, but i guess when you are big as ICSTOR its good to use the winning formula, but im sure the writer also has gotten a better understanding of the mentality of his players.Well, if peeps dont try other approaches we will never know
Only thing is that probably 99% of us on this thread and site dont contribute to ICSTOR and development team so pissing off peeps here shouldnt hurt their cashflowYou are correct in your point, but i guess when you are big as ICSTOR its good to use the winning formula, but im sure the writer also has gotten a better understanding of the mentality of his players.

I am wondering if the writer just started recently or has been here since the start. Cause if this update was his first then that looks bad for his morale.Only thing is that probably 99% of us on this thread and site dont contribute to ICSTOR and development team so pissing off peeps here shouldnt hurt their cashflow
Edit: Makes me think of Hollywood and other film companies change writer and directors movies all the time.
Even to Ren & Stimpy and look how creative that was. Once they changed it more it flopped.
Oh my, thank you very much! :happyblushYour sigs compel me to help you :firstimekiss:
