I wish we had more control in that scene, and tell Renee to get the fuck outta there, if she's not a LI, then i don't want her touching my girls, simple as that. If you plan to do anymore scenes like that, you should at the very least make it avoidable.
Dev admitted he could have added a fuck off option for Renee :HideThePain:

Are you guys serious? There have been a few over the years. Even though I'm not white, there have been a few great CBs that were white. I'll name one: Anthony Cioffi. You guys can do your own research for more if you want. As for the reason white CBs aren't more prevalent in college or the pros is up to debate. Whites are capable, hell, even when I was in HS, we had a white CB, we were even undefeated with him, then the new coach decided to switch him to safety in favor of a black guy and we lost the rest of the season.
i was joking idk about the other guy

Poor thing. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. But if it changes anything, I have a little censored patch coming for people who can't handle it.

But you gotta love the whole right wing spiel some people are coming up with for cracking jokes. What part of any of that is right wing? Not to go wildly off topic here, but the first one is a joke, and the second one was common sense despite the media pretty blatantly lying about it. Just because you disagree doesn't make me some Trump-loving far right extremist.



The staff who moved the thread (not blaming him/her) didn't copy the whole thing from the dev thread they took it from. The girls on the banner (and Sky) are LIs.
awesome ty for answering

I'm in the same boat. I wrote a review for the game this morning, but all the cancel-culture, social-media aspects of the story are dumb as hell and fit in with the rest of it like a fart in an elevator. It's weird enough that I've been thinking about it since last night.

What gets me is that it all comes hand in hand with some great character work. Ivy in particular is a surprisingly empathetic portrayal of a trans woman, and the scene with Yuna's dad is touching. Both their scenes are way better done than they had to be, considering that they're both there as porn justification. All the friendships hit, the dialogue's good, and the MC visibly has a number of serious character flaws that he tries to counteract with incredible warmth and generosity towards his loved ones.

All the cancel culture stuff falls absolutely flat, though, especially when you find out what it was that the MC actually did and why.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

More crucially, the MC being "canceled" doesn't matter at all, except for when it gives the characters/author an excuse to rant about it. For a "canceled" guy, the MC is still given an astonishing amount of money, trust, licensing deals, real estate, and consumer goods right off the hop the second he gets to Texas. It's like that political cartoon about the guy ranting about how he's been canceled on TV, then to a large audience, and then in a best-selling book, but Move the Chains seems to be absolutely serious.
I like the whole presentation of the VN and especially the characters. There were a few dialogues earlier that indicated that the dev's views, but I ignored them because they weren't as explicit and I thought they were trying to be ironic.

And yeah, the whole "cancel culture" bs is extremely dumb and actively hurts an overall good story because it does not make sense unless you have a very warped worldview.

He did the deed in self defense and the evidence shows that but parts social media is still running with the old story, and some of them are real loud.
That's a part of it. "Court of public opinion" does cross over into cancel culture.
I suppose we're arguing over a hazy, shifting definition, but generally, the point at which it becomes "cancel culture" is where the targeted person is ostracized, deplatformed, and/or suffers significant, immediate career damage. I'm thinking here of, say, Louis CK or Kevin Spacey.

The MC hasn't suffered anything of the sort, and has run into, what, two people who aren't immediately on his side? If he'd lost all his friends in his hometown, or if the incident had cost him all his most high-profile offers so he had to go with this Texas shithole as his last resort, that'd be closer to cancel culture. If the only consequence he's suffered is that people are shit-talking him on this universe's equivalent to shitlib Twitter, which he doesn't look at himself, that effectively isn't a consequence at all.

As it is, the MC should be controversial, at least in the sorts of circles that care way too much about college football. From the outside, it would look a hell of a lot like the NCAA might've arranged for the MC to conveniently beat a manslaughter charge, and it's not like that'd be a bridge too far in a post-Penn State world.

I can't really account for every panel out there. Both of mine are IPS and darker images appear bright enough to see, which is all I can really judge from.

Glad you enjoyed it. Or most of it, at least. :)

Think someone mentioned it before, but I'm going to +1 that I'd like to see some sort of compendium at some point. Partly for all the football terminology that I know jack shit about, but also with the large and ever growing cast it would be nice to open up a little character page to remind myself about them.

Planned for Episode 2. It's something I thought of right as I was releasing to higher-tier Patreons. It's definitely coming though.

There's already character menu (though still incomplete with names, where they're from, whether you're dating them or not (and/or have knocked them up), a bit about who they are, and some of their traits. Might be kind of out of the way, though. Game Menu (Right-Click) > Credits+ > Characters > Gender > Pick Character. Might add a shortcut eventually.

If you don't mind me responding to your review a bit (very well written, btw. Clear and concise.); Stuff like choices are a hard thing to get a grasp on when you don't have consistent feedback, especially on a 0.1. Too many and you get told that there's too many fake/meaningless choices, too little and you get told that there's not enough. Just takes a little while to strike that happy-medium sometimes. As for the sex scenes, I'd love to make them a bit longer (especially animation-wise), but right now it's pretty hardware capped. Each animation takes about 3-5 hours, sometimes six depending on the complexity. With an average of 3 or 4 positions (and speeds) per scene, it can get lengthy pretty quickly. Enough that it starts taking away a lot of time I can work on everything else.

Appreciate that, and good to know! And yeah I get what you're saying in both areas. Regarding choices, like 95% of the MC's dialogue I was fine with. Just a couple moments stuck out to me I suppose. First one that comes to the top of my mind is the girl behind the gas station. I was like damn man chill out lol. Small things at the end of the day. Sometimes it's easy to forget we are playing a real character with his own personality/motivations and those don't always line up perfectly with how I as a player would view things. I'm interested in seeing how that morality system will change some things too.

Sex scene wise, when I think longer I mean more drawn out if that makes sense. More animations and positions are nice for sure, but I like when scenes have some meaty dialogue and convey emotion through it. More so with scenes that have some build up and tension before them though. The current sex scenes didn't bother me much with that aspect since they were just like quick link ups more or less. But say for an eventual first sex scene with Diana as an example, I want that shit to hit right.

Really am looking forward to seeing this game grow. Best of luck on it
