"and a J+N ending (which will probably require you ignoring Carol at every opportunity),"

How anyone could play this game and ignore Carol is beyond me....my brain just can't compute.
I mean, it'd make my life easier if I didn't have to write like a dozen-plus episodes' worth of variant dialogue based on the chance that someone might do a Naomi-only run. :D

Please don't forget the MC would rather stay a single route with lots of great self-talk.

To lighten the mood, you could add an imaginary girlfriend to the story. :ROFLMAO:

If I could come up with a way to do this and have it not be the most tedious thing in the world, I would. But, then, you'd end the game with a whole bunch of stuff left locked in the gallery.
Anyone who doesn't want Carol doesn't deserve this story to begin with. :love:
I think we have to come to terms with the fact that we live among monsters. :)

If this story does end up with a "Your house is on fire and you can somehow only save one" situation I am going to straight-up delete and never come back.

I ain't dealin with that shit again.
Lmao...yeah That game was dead for me the moment that happened. Great writing, no denying that. I just felt that it was unnecessary to throw something like that into the game. I came for the fap...not to feel depressed lol :LOL:

Our beloved Kinderfeld would never do that, that would be too cruel. House on fire? Pfffft! Instead we are given the choice of which girl we save from being butchered and eaten alive by the "zombies" :ROFLMAO:

Btw. Kinderfeld where does your name come from? Translated from German to English it means "Childrens Field" or something like that.

It originally came from a Marilyn Manson song from his Antichrist Superstar album.

And, I think this quote from the first page is still relevant.
I won't give anything away, but I will promise that I won't put two people you love in a house, set it on fire and make you choose between them. :p

It will be possible to romance them both. From chapter 10 onward, you'll have a choice to spend alone time with one girl or the other (may not be in all chapters depending on the narrative), which will affect the girl's love points. Depending on how much time you spread between them, you could end the game in a polyamorous relationship.

Planned are J+C end, J+C+N end, and a J+N ending (which will probably require you ignoring Carol at every opportunity), plus some other variations based on the stats you end up with.

As you can see by the image below, you can end Ch9 with both girls in a decent place, so you have a little love to spend.

Carol isn't exactly into women, but she might warm to the idea of sharing Jack. Maybe a little curious but I wouldn't expect any C+N action. Or at least, not right away.
I would think the J+C+N end will be the hardest to get. We've built up more points with C. I just don't feel right leaving N out. But, are we going to have to basically cheat on C to gain points with N?

I wouldn't imagine so. The girls have already talked about that stuff, Naomi came straight out and asked when it was her turn IIRC. I believe given the situation and the loss of her family...Carol will 'allow' us to 'comfort' Naomi also (in comma's for porn trope effect hehe). As in, why should she get her happiness and Naomi be left out in the cold so-to-speak kinda thing.

I thought so, Thanks. I just couldn't do that to Carol, but, Naomi needs the MC also.

Agreed yes, she does and I couldn't 'cheat' on Carol either (given the back story etc). With what I said before, I think it would be a pretty lame way of doing it too (far too convenienta trope)...but, having said that, could see that actually happening in that scenerio should it ever happen (end of the world type shit as we know it) so think in this story, compared to many others...it would actually fit nicely for once and actually be believable.

I don't see it being particularly hard to get... As far as points, they're love points, not sex points. You get them by showing her you care about her, no cheating involved. In my game, Naomi's got 6 love points vs Carol's 8.

As for willingness to share, Dev has been kind enough to hardwire an accepting attitude (at least toward Naomi) into Carol.

Setting it up looks to be relatively simple. Maintaining it will require diligence to make sure neither feels neglected or left out. Still not particularly difficult. Of course, I'm betting there are going to be... distractions placed in MC's path to make things trickier though. The Dev giveth... and the Dev taketh away! :devilish:

Oh and Kinderfeld , based on my reaction when I saw the update was available (Full-on handflapping fangirl squeeing!), you've earned a spot in my Favorite Games folder (along with such worthies as: Alexandra, Haley's Story, Being a DIK and Midlife Crisis to name a few). Congratulations.
