I'd wager that Stan is faaaar away from your normal, average dudebro Joe. He's a major outlier, and not in a good way.
He doesn't go out often compared to anyone else. People don't realize that being social is a skill that you can learn or lose depending on how little time you spend with the other people.

Apparently this person lives in a world where there are no normal people...

If the content wasn't 20€, I'd pay for that but fuck, thats a little too much cash money.
Ah yes fapping in the corner while your roommate is having sex and covering your walls in cum stained photos of her is very normal, most normal thing in the world

Oh no, quite the opposite, I find it slightly alarming that there's so many people on here relating strongly to a dude who isn't just ugly or awkward, but also a giga creepy serial killer vibe weirdo lol
I might be wrong but I think the whole "Stan the man" thing is just a joke...

But I mean, we're in an adult VN pirating forum, so everyone of us has some creepy side I think (I have it!)

I'm not saying it is, but given that its a relatively popular trope in porn. I can see why its popular. It's not my thing tbh, but it does provide a potential set up for drama, storyline, etc.

How is it 400+ mb when 0.8 final was 1.4gig ?
The Alpha for Chapter 9, Lust and Power, is finally here! This one took longer than I wanted and expected for several reasons. Working on each chapter of ORS is becoming really complex and difficult, but I knew that much going in. This game is becoming a big, ambitious project and it would be impossible for me to pull this off on my own: I have to thank my team and community, as always, for selflessly helping me deliver this game time and time again. Special thanks to Lara and BloodyMares, who really helped me check the chapter to make it consistent and playable.

As is always the case, it's hard for me to judge the quality of the update, especially after having been working on it for so long. I've tried my best to move the plot forward and include some long-awaited scenes, and I can't help but push the quality of the art even further. I think the upgrade is very noticeable when you compare illustrations from the first few chapters with the current one.

To give you some stats about this chapter, the code ended up being 20.785 lines long and there are 101 full screen new illustrations (!), with plenty of variations. Sadly, I haven't been able to include the new OST tracks I commissioned, since the musician is still working on them...

Some new features have been implemented, like a scene gallery many of you were asking about, and some UI and game optimization. Now the images are in .webp format, which has reduced the download size of the game considerably. An Android port is coming soon too, finally.

Anyway, I hope you find this chapter enjoyable and worth the wait. It has been really frustrating and draining for me not being able to publish sooner, and I know it's really inconvenient and frustrating for you guys too. All I can say is I'll keep trying to make a game I'm satisfied with, as fast as I can, but taking as much time as I need while cutting as few corners as possible. It's up to you to judge if what I create it's worth your while!

As always, I'm eager to read your opinions and comments both here in the comments and in our server! I'll be hanging out in the "live chapter 9 discussion" thread, so drop by is you want to say hi :)

He doesn't have to go out clubbing with 15 people every Friday, but he could be better at communicating with his own roommates. Louse straight up hates his guts, and Lena shows him some pity attention.

Now, I understand he's there to be a stereotype, to fulfil a niche. But as I said a page or two back in another post, in my own personal experience I have never, ever met someone who's socially inept that much. It feels weird and off-putting, and I'd definitely steer away from someone who'd give me Stan vibes irl.

Given the social awkwardness, Stan could be on the spectrum.
