If you look back through this thread, it seems like every single person who asks/complains about messed up saves with a new version is playing the mod. I don't think that's coincidence.

As a matter of personal preference, I honestly don't see why the mod is necessary or even desired. I grab the pdf walkthrough and that is more than enough direction for me to make sure I get all the scenes, even if it takes a little replay. Which isn't a bad thing (again, IMO) - some of the scenes aren't meant to make sense being in the same playthrough.
YHO. Ok. Never have had problems with Zoey's WT.

Is the game going to be 90% about the past and 10% about the present? Actually curious here. I just started playing and finished one 'then' scene, there was probably 12 seconds of reading in the present and back to another past scene.

I like back story but when there's more back story than story it gets rather tedious. I audibly sighed when there literally 23-24 lines of talking between two past events.

But you're a damn good writer, that's relieving.

Don't worry, at it stands now there is far more present content. I'd guess the past segments early on were just to provide context about the characters themselves.

It's more in the present than in flashback. He does maybe give a bit more backstory early on, but that kinda makes sense.

The first couple of chapters are heavier towards the Then moments, but it gets weaned off the deeper into the story, once relationships and context moments are established. By the time you hit the end of Part one, it should only be a short scene in each episode. In Chapter 12, there's one scene and it's purely played as a bit of humor.

Eventually, the third act won't have too many of these moments, or they'll be spread out once a chapter or two.

With it being Winter in my hemisphere, I thought it'd be fun to do some more snow-themed wallpapers.

Of course, this plays into a trope I've always thought was hilariously dumb. I don't know the official term, but I've always called them "snow-bunnies." They were super prevalent in swimsuit magazines, where they had girls dress up in next to nothing out in what I can only think is the blistering cold. Imagine these girls, freezing their asses off wearing a few patches of fabric over their bits, pretending to be happy in front of the camera, waiting for the moment the session's done so some dude with a fur-lined coat can sprint in and drape it over your shoulders in a desperate race against your core temperature plummeting to an unhealthy level.

Anyway... enjoy! Also, check out the .

I have to make another comment.

MC "and Carol knows I love her. But, that doesn't mean I'm going to force her to call me something that I'm not."

Naomi "Do you just wanna be called something like 'landlord?'"

Hahahaha:ROFLMAO: best jab ever.

I might not have a fur-lined coat, but i have some 'fur' on my chest, they're welcome to cuddle up to warm up again :sneaky:

And my god do i love Carol's model, the pale skin, the beautiful eyes, the freckles, the beautiful eyes (no, i didn't count double ;))

Don't change a thing Kinderfeld.

Dev's got one hell of a talent for cliffhangers.. every update has had me both reluctant to continue, not knowing if it's about to get real dark or not yet simultaneously desperate to know what happens next.

While there won't be as many Then events in the back half of the story, I'm definitely trying to make sure there's at least one scene per episode. It really depends on the context on the moment. Like Ch13 has a kinda-flashback for the girls (just a momentary peek back into them being students), and then another full scene with Jack anchored off a personal moment for himself tied into his attachments to the past.

So Naomi is perving over Sydney and vice versa? Sure bring it on! :p :love:


This was a slow burning episode dealing with the aftermath of the rapists gang attack. Makes me wonder where the story will go next. :unsure:
