Special Render - May the 4th - Saira - Free Edition
You know tomorrow is May the 4th, the unofficial Star Wars day, so today I bring you Saira on the brink of going to the dark side (no, I don't mean anal, yet). We all remember that video conference when she wanted to pop Eileen's eyes out.
She has returned to the light since that day.
Enjoy the FullHD render (4K for subscribers).

Make me think of a twist scene in Astral Wars: Episode V (parody)


Astral Wars: Episode V


Darth Inva
There is no escape. Don’t make me destroy you. You do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.

Lia
I’ll never join you!

Darth Inva
If you only knew the power of the dark side. Oba-Win never told you what happened to your Mother.

Lia
She told me enough! It was you who killed her.

Darth Inva
No. I am your mother.

Shocked, Lia looks at Valer in utter disbelief.

Lia
No. No. That’s not true! That’s impossible!

Darth Inva
Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

Lia
No! No! No!

Darth Inva
Lia. You can destroy the Empress. She has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as mother and daughter. Come with me. It is the only way.
............
Parody aside, i always wondered what if george lucas before selling Lucasfilm to Disney, he decided to make another star wars movie that explore branching timeline where Luke for some reason decide to accept Darth Vader offer to join force, just as obsidian entertainment wanting to make TES spinoff based on a timeline where the villain won if they weren't denied permission to create from bethesda.

Just downloaded part 2 (compressed). What do the "sfwpatch" rpy and rpyc files do? Because the file name makes it sound like the opposite of an uncensor patch.

It's a censor patch. When itchio (thus the name of the variable) banned adult games from charging through their site, I did an experiment with an SFW version. If the itchio variable is true, the game replaces any nude image outside lewd scenes with a picture of Zeus with my logo, and every lewd scene with a picture of Zeus and a sentence like "You spend the afternoon playing chess".

Spoiler: Zeus

It worked. They allowed me to sell the game through them, but the sales didn't justify the extra work (keeping separate compilations, extra code for both versions, etc.) and, especially, the possibility of creating bugs or forgetting to replace one topless image. So I scrapped the idea after a couple of versions (0.14 and 0.15).
Since I didn't want to go to every place in 0.13, 0.14, and 0.15 (yes, 0.13 was also censored because it was included in 0.14 and 0.15) where the variable was checked, I left the sfwpatch file there to avoid any issues.

Classic "if it aint broke, don't fix it". Pretty much any code can be prettier or more optimized with the knowledge we have in hindsight. Doesn't mean we should, that time is much better spend improving/expanding the overall product (so good choice here Trope).
In this case I find the result pretty funny; a legacy sfw patch for a nsfw game when most often one of the very first mods people develop for a game is to introduce something nsfw

I wish we can adjust the relationships like in Chapter 2. I started a relationship with someone, i didn't mean too lol.

In Seasons 2 and 3 you still can, through the profiles screen.

I didn't see away in season 3 sorry. Where's the profile screen?

 

[TonyMurray]

I didn't see away in season 3 sorry. Where's the profile screen?

It's not in the menu there. You need to have a save loaded, then click on the book icon (it's on the bottom of the menu icons on the left of the screen in my game). Go to the profile there of the LI you want to edit, and you'll have various options available.

 

[Trope95]

Here

It can be without the text in the button, depending on your settings.

 

[NotYourStepDad]

Why is my text vertical and how do I make it horizontal

You have to change it in settings. Text box height and text box width, you can work with settings and make it the way you like

I'm on my first playthrough still in season 1, and man, it would have been nice if there was a Kim path where I don't have to be an asshole but I also don't have to tell her I "love" her skin condition. I have no intention of pursuing a relationship with her because I do not find her attractive, but I also wouldn't be a dick and tell her that she should wear full body makeup all the time to hide her condition/be ashamed of herself. There really should have been a middle ground.

Not to mention that not going all in on her also causes you points with all the other starting students. From what i've read you want everything to be optional, but in this case it seems like you're punishing players for not going totally full harem. It makes it feel like not a choice.

the Trigger for Kim comes later , in S2 so you can be still nice to her and get points with the other girls the critical branching point, is clearly marked and has a nice middle ground as well, just as reminder, you can always switch relation on / off from the profile menu in S2 if needed or if you change your mind about one girl.

The points only make options appear, they don't lock you in a route. The route itself is ALWAYS an option and clearly marked.

Being unfriendly or unkind to any of the girls is NOT necessary and it is optional, it allows you to be a "jerk" if that's what you want to play as.

On Kim's case, being on her good graces and being supportive of her and of her condition, will make the possible romantic route available. But, since you don't want to pursue it, it will also make her a good friend and a more confident person.

Also, Trope allows for the player to have autonomy, but only up to a point, there are still limits. Because the scenes to render can't border on infinity. This isn't procedurally generated, each scene needs to be rendered. So, calm your tits. You are not being punished for not going full harem, you are just being told the consequences.

In this case, if you choose to be a "jerk" all girls will be crossed with you, as they should be. And because you don't have to be, so, it is optional behavior, it is quite correctly applied.

You aren't one of those that see "consequences" as punishment, are you? Because they aren't. In this case you are asking for a consequences free way to be a jerk. I don't think there should be one. Actually I would ask for the consequence to be even worse.



Peace

Great news for you then; there is! You can be nice to her AND still being friendly without being on her path.

 

[jerichodowns]

Perhaps then its just this specific interaction. Choosing the top option leads to a conversation where you say you love her skin and consider it a map or some such. But the other option is an asshole remark. Points are heavy in both directions, and I didn't want to choose either of them.

Boy, what an ignorant response. I was quite clear in what i said. I specifically DID NOT want to be a jerk. I don't have to be into her to not be a jerk. There should always be a middle way. As you can see from the screenshot i shared in my previous post, a middle way was not offered. A woman with vitiligo shouldn't feel ashamed of herself, that doesn't mean I have to be attracted to her or tell her she should hide herself away.
