Great update as usual! great writing!
scrollwheel support in the UI is VERY nice to have
if you introduce NTR by pillows then what about dildos? those motherfuckers (literally!) have stolen the first times of many of our virgin girls here!
Seems like
Solomon will be forced into a clean divorce. I'm guessing it will be a big trigger into full sex for Kiara.
Great work on
Kiara's model. Very subtle hints of age were added to enhance maturity compared to Eileen, that was missing before.
Genevieve said she is married but she doesn't wear a wedding ring ?
if we accept
Amanda's route, the relationship number doesn't increase ? maybe it's a minor bug ? that value is still used in this update, so it is not abandoned. or maybe it is now used as the "official" publicly know number for the harem after the Great Reveal ?
I was a little bit disappointed that we missed out on a potential truth or dare game especially with those characters that we desperately need much more story on
For me, there seemed to be some weird and inconsistent stuff during the talk with
Kim.
first, she seems to really like MC a lot, even if the relationship points are low or even in the negative, even though there were several warnings before to try and keep the points decently high. like if MC was a dick about her skin and makeup, it should be a real handicap to any potential relationship, and it is not reflected there. I think there should be a check for relationship points and cut the scene short if MC is a real dick to her. same for her talk with Martha since there wouldn't be much to talk about.
Then I found it weird that Martha's opinion matters that much there. I understand that Kim really likes Martha and sees her as a maternal figure (that she might be missing in her bio family), but if Debbie and Saira are in a relationship with MC and there were no issues after the Great Reveal then Kim's worries should be almost gone. Unless there is something specific in her past that we don't know that feeds those worries and insecurities.
Also it's weird that MC suddenly wants to respect and wait for Martha's opinion on this. for every single other relationships, he didn't care about the opinion of anyone outside of the relationship before starting them. especially when incest is involved, he wait full throttle with his feelings and the girl's feelings and dismissed any need to check on the opinion of others, even when those opinions mattered to the girl, even more when those were bio-family members... and just for this one girl, he wants to pause everything and wait for her to consult someone else's opinion and get their permission ? To me, that felt really out of character and immersion breaking. I would appreciate someone explaining it in details, if you have the time.
Finally, if MC is only dating one girl, but not Martha, the flow of the conversation implies that he is dating Martha or that the one he is dating would kick Kim out of the dorm (as a joke, but it heavily implies Martha or Norah there, as they are the only ones that could) maybe there is one line of dialog missing there just for clarity's sake. maybe it's just the English translation that is lacking in that specific scene and circumstance.
I was thinking this for a while but always forgot about it here :
if Daphne and Erika are twins or clones, they should have the same nipples
it always seemed weird to me that they were so different.
same for Eva. Seems she is closer to Daphne's nipples. but when she tried to deceive and fuck MC in season 1, she had Erika's nipples. (I guess it was for dev's convenience at the time) it would have been an interesting clue that her nipples would be different from Erika in that scene.
and Erika during her beach first time, seems there has been a backlash for that. but her nipples there were just low quality assets, blurry and pixelated. could have worked if they were of higher quality, honestly.
And on the blinking "debate", I'd like to push my own input here, if you'd let me,
Trope95 :
first I want to say that they do add to the lively feeling of the person in the frame. it's undeniable, even for haters.
but it's also true that the blinking "animation" require less work for the posing, as it's only changing the eye lids, even though the rendering required is the same as you still have to render the full scene for each step.
but counting each step of the blinking as a separate render could be argued to be deceiving marketing, even if unintentional.
total number of static renders usually give a feel of the volume of content and duration of playtime the player will get. so including the blinking steps in those could skew that impression.
maybe you should count the blinking steps into the animation renders total that you also count separately instead ? that could be a good compromise. even if then, it could deceive people that only want lewd scenes and animations
but screw them, they don't even know the story of the characters xD I bet they can't count animation frames
A solution for you could be that you would only render the eyes for each step by reframing the rendering output, if it's an available feature in your software. and then only display the eyes blinking steps as some kind of mask over the static scene. and add a loop for that. I think Atemsiel uses that kind of trick in Stormside to show the collars on girls that the player chooses to put it on. as its a choice, it would create tons of alternate renders even though it's really minor in scope, but crucial to the player choice.
for you, it would also allow a huge reduction in disk space and rendering time, so quicker updates and fuller seasons, and for the players, a slight reduction in device/computer resources used and big reduction in download volumes.
Another related issue: the way you display blinking animation is really annoying for URM users
the way you coded it is really clever from a programmer POV. but it really messes up exploration of choices using URM, as each blink is seen as an alternate choice.
and if a real alternate path is just behind a blink instead of a text line, it won't show
that forces the manipulation of variables and character options
and checking the code to avoid missing paths. it's a very minor thing, though. just wanted to put it out there.
I thought we all agreed to call is Mjolnir and not the light ?
to be honest, I completely missed that joke. never even registered it.
more like he got fucked properly.
how come ? can't you get it back ? is it because of the name change and Patreon ?
what do you mean ?! topless is the norm now! covered tits are the special things since
Lisa defected!
yes, it was very obvious to me.
was waiting for the camera to switch the whole time. became super obvious once she one-sidedly declared Solomon won the fight to boost his ego
Yeah, that too was obvious. whichever the player chooses at the café, it's obviously what triggers that.
why did you play a massive harem game if you were in the mood for a focused monogamy experience?
you describe what harem games are. and you know how they work. why do that to yourself knowingly and intentionally if that's not what you wanted to experience in that moment?
aside from the low quality of the asset, I didn't mind the change.
latest update is on Monday. the
foursome was at 2am during the night from Sunday to Monday, so technically Monday.
So results are next update on Tuesday. and MC has very little time left to spill it all to Martha if he has some info that he wants to share before. though it would be better to have the results, honestly.
actually, whatever the results of the DNA test are, there is a very important thing to tell Martha :
Edmund didn't cheat on her with that student. but he DID cheat on her for years before with the mother of his daughter, and he sent tons of money to them without Martha knowing.
so Martha's justification for starting with MC without guilt still holds, but the basis for it are very different, and go much deeper.
isn't that how the "gallery-unlock-demanding" crowd actually play any game ?
I would rather bet on Lisa herself, or her kids. her bio-family seems to be quite rich and influential. adding to that MC's future money and influence. and her current interest in actually stepping into politics after MC's nudge... and she is quite engaged with the idea of real change. Kim doesn't seem to have those inclinations at the moment.
My Dorm gallery since season 2 is one of the best in the industry. Especially because it allows to replay every scene, not just lewd scenes.
I wish there was a way to put all the content files of season 1 and 2 into the season 3 folders and have them be available with the new UI and features. it would be a great way to replay the game.
maybe for a steam release if they ever get past the pseudo incest ?
