Interesting posts!

I find it a bit funny how so many players here say the update was so short. If you are not on the "Cindy simping" path (who is one of the most dull characters in game), there is quite a lot in it. I cannot stand Emma, she is at the bottom of my personal girl ranking in ORS, but even she brings more to the table than Cindy. So I only heard from Ivy that Cindy was dating Axel and that was it for the update. No loss there.

While we cannot be sure at this point, the new chapter gave us hints that there is likely be some connection between Seymour and Lena in background. The way he acts and talks when you have a good relationship with him, esp. at the dinner before the mirror shot... I did not put all that much credit into the theory of him being secretly her Dad, but I am reconsidering now, maybe even he does not know, but he feels the connection. There were hints during the mentioned dinner, if Lena´s relationship with him is really good and some with the family drama at Lena´s home. I would not rule such a situation out.

Holly is a gem, one of my favourite characters in the game and so versatile on path options. You can get her as an innocent girlfriend, a girlfriend you can help to become more daring, even hot or slutty, can keep her as a good friend or let Lena and Ivy teach her to be daring. Very nice to see where the various paths will lead to.

Alison too has path options and much more than just these increasingly insufferable cuck discussions. There is even the option of being in a dedicated relationship with her and also a dedicated relationship with the two of them experimenting with threesomes and Ian NOT being a wimp.
By the way Alison can also dress really hot while still being fully in love with Ian. Looks well on this front.

There is one bug I found out directly. During the gym training scene I only had two options available, the willpower choices were unavailable, even if my Ian had enough willpower for those!

Guys, were there any major differences other than flavor text so far for wade_cindy = 2 and 1?
Can't recall anything serious so far, it should be fairly safe to change variable state (although i haven't played through entire new update yet)

I really love the guidance by Ivy towards Holly. Even times where Lena helps Holly it is initiated mostly by Ivy. Thank you Ivy, many of us want to see Holly shed her church girl vibes and join the slut lineup :)

I would really like even locked stuff in Gallery to have hints at least which characters are involved. Some might argue that it would be a spoiler, but who goes into Gallery expecting not to see spoilers in the first place? I waited until I finish update on my routes to check Gallery, but it is hard to memorize all the blurry pictures while switching through characters.

Anyways seems like some of my decisions from previous chapters did impact things a bit not the way I wanted. Will look to fix that after we get final touches of this chapter. I definitely like where some stuff is heading, nightclub should be interesting for one...

Some errors on the scenes where Allisons hair is blonde for some reason then back to red.
That is not a colour error per se. Alison can get blond hair during gameplay. The script error itself is here for the blond Alison too, where suddenly for a couple pics it goes back to red.

Wish this could have been done in 4 months though
I think that summarises my opinion too, mostly. The update is actually not all that short, esp. if you have some paths open and follow not just one.

What about perry_emma? I kinda want perry to simp over Emma before she (hopefully) gets taken by Seymour's capitalistic cock.

I guess I kept it at 1 which means perry didn't get anywhere with her. If I change it to 2 or 3, there shouldn't be other variables or flags associated with this, right?

For anybody who doesn't want to do all the work: the official Gallery Unlocker still works.
Well, that thing is good for more! The gallery is certainly bugged. All chapter 10 gallery scenes are unavailable for me, even those I unlocked! so this unlocker is quite nice here.

Yes the game is awesome, if only Ian could afford to buy his own house so i can rest with Lena you get me right rest or a hotel room.

yall like to complain too much knowing full well Eva tends to add more scenes later on, (also you got the update for free), so chill and wait bro, this is an alpha version not the final product lol
She also wanted to give this chapter an epilogue. Pretty sure that is like 2-3 scenes more.

The game doesn't seem to check for other flags, so yes, it might be enough to set perry_emma to higher value.

Is there any indication in the game's code on which books are to be published and which are to be rejected?
No, not yet. The game stores player's decision for each book, the reckoning will probably take place in a future installment.

Looks like I screwed up somewhere along the route with Holly.
When she comes to Ian's house and they talk about Gillian, Ian doesn't want to open up to Holly (heart dialogue option).
The sex scene is just incredible, scenes in this episode are really done on top and this is one of its pluses. Just look at that:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
But after this scene, Holly says that she is not yet ready for a serious relationship, she wants to understand herself and understands why Ian is not ready to open up to her. They have good chemistry, but something is missing.

I don’t remember what I did wrong earlier, guide or crowd help will be needed . And it looks like I'll have to run this route again. We'll, we have 7 months to the Chapter 12:HideThePain:

I'll have a look at the code, but blind guess would be, if you let Lena get close to Holly (lena_go_holly variable) then Holly starts pining for relationship with Lena, and gets cold feet. It's how that variable seemed to affect Ian/Holly dialogue and/or interactions in Ch.10.

I'm having the same issue. I don't know how to access the code so my guess is worse than your knowledge, but I think it has to with Gillian.

Early in the game Ian has to delete Gillian's picture which costs 1 will point. If you do a pure Holly route and don't have cheat mode or easy mode active then Ian won't have a will point to spend. This only again becomes an issue in the new chapter where he can't say he has made peace with the Gillian situation. I think if Ian says he's made peace, then he can open up to Holly.
