Mostly agree with you, but you can't forget that Hana is quite clearly best girl, no doubt about that.This is one game where I legitimately play it as though I'm living through the character rather than just watching some abstract character in a movie do his thing. So just like in real life, I consider all possibilities:

That is August's default state.Speaking of work, does anyone have "Trusted" status with August?
Because I don't. And I'm really confused about why that is, because I can't recall any event that would call my loyalty into question.
Hi!Mostly agree with you, but you can't forget that Hana is quite clearly best girl, no doubt about that.
It's great to have someone to talk to about work without sugar coating the things that are happening there. We'll just have to be careful about word getting out to Kat because she'll surely take advantage of it and strain the relationship to the breaking point.
I feel a bit bad for basically encouraging Mina to break up with Ian but I believe she's better off without him, no matter if Edwin is in the picture or not.
Also I made a promise to Hana. And I don't do things like that without thought, so I won't have any other choice but to break off every romantic connection outside of the club, and I will. I sincerely hope she'll accept that I'm friends with Vero because she's freakin' adorable under all that muscle and I really want to help her. It's not like we're fucking or anything (outside of the "work environment").

Ah, that explains a lot. I'll go for that in a heartbeat because I'm quite positive that Chuck is a high functioning sociopath and as friendly as he seems currently, I wouldn't leave him alone with my drink. At least August is honest about being a scumbag. And also I fancy his daughter *a lot* and having the parents on your side is always a good thing.That is August's default state.
The idea is, over the course of the game, you (potentially) have Chuck's trust to lose and August's trust to gain.
I love the way you weave in the german when you speak english.Hi!
Concerning August: I remmeber that long ago TD answered me about gaining August´s trust that it is won in etappen.
Thank you, even if that is mostly my native tongue jumping in on her own. But we German speakers can go all Shakespearian on the English natives, since German has retained features English lost over the centuries, we just have to let run our SOV+V2 sytax free.I love the way you weave in the german when you speak english.
Agree with this.The game is top-top and a lot of work on all the render stuff.Always a beatiful game, but in this update "the story" is only a couple of vanilla fucking. Ok, so important for main story, but a weak episode.
Not every update is created equal, in terms of scope or creative challenge involved. Our standards and quality have evolved over time, especially in regards to the visual aspect. Not only have we become more animation heavy (our first few updates weren't animated), but scenes have become more complex with more moving parts and actors.But the updates take longer and longer since the start of the game when 3 months would feel late and they would say something about that.
I mean... numbers are numbers. We completed so many statics and animations, compared against previous updates. How that splits up into number of scenes is irrelevant, in terms of the work involved.Also just personal pov but using the big numbers of image/clips and tons of words seems such a weird way to say how much content you have.
In reality without using those numbers and instead described in way so everyone can understand: this update barely has 2 scenes(you can cut 1 full in multiple ones, it wont make it more btw, is still 1 long scene) and while a lot of work went into it and is great looking and all that good stuff.............. this just felt barely anything for how long it took.

Imo with this weak episode seems like this game development gets in the "box" of what other games are doing , with at least 1 foot. Hope we dont get slowly closer to 1 year per update and 1 scene.

Hope next time we go back to the great updates with really intense scenes we had before and have some better release time as well.
I too find myself torn on how to proceed, though for a rather different set of reasons.This is one game where I legitimately play it as though I'm living through the character rather than just watching some abstract character in a movie do his thing.

I think Felicia is going to be one of the hardest to befriend if you commit to Hana. The problem is that Felicia really, really likes sex. Her path not only requires physically intimate with her, but also a level of *mental* intimacy about sex: the thrill of performing for an audience, the satisfaction of indulging in dark fantasies, reveling in the sheer wantonness of it all, that sort of thing. Hana could potentially get past the sex itself (within the context of the Club), but I think the mental aspect that Felicia craves is pretty much exactly what Hana doesn't want the MC to share with someone else. Her taste is just too different from Felicia's to permit any consistent overlap. My guess is we'll have to either stay casual with Hana and embrace the bond with Felicia, or keep things platonic with Felicia and thus stunt her friendship.Hi!
Concerning August: I remmeber that long ago TD answered me about gaining August´s trust that it is won in etappen. In several events where we gain RPs with August you also gain (hidden) trust ponts. Once you reach a certain threshold, his stats will change to "trusted". I think no player currently has reached that many trust points. I am near or at max current RP with August and I too still do not have his full trust.
About friendships: Like you, I hope that even with GF status Hana will accept a friendship with Felicia in my case. You cannot not like our eccentric resident gold-digger. Since in my "canon" playthrough I go to the art exhibition freely, without any expectations or taking money, I think this should be fine.
As I mentioned in a post above, hopefully this way we can get Hana and Felicia closer, both being artists, if in different fields.
Errr, no. Even by the most conservative standard imaginable, the update has at least 7 scenes:Agree with this.The game is top-top and a lot of work on all the render stuff.

Cheers - this game is so well written and the characters can be empathized with.Hi!
Great that your first post is about this game. Interesting thoughts by you about some of the possible LIs in the game. Some answer comments from me:

Your post shows a likely scenario, I agree with you on that. But I think on the other hand Felicia and her friendship is us players best chance to get a at least partially corrupted Hana on the good and nice paths!I think Felicia is going to be one of the hardest to befriend if you commit to Hana. The problem is that Felicia really, really likes sex. Her path not only requires physically intimate with her, but also a level of *mental* intimacy about sex: the thrill of performing for an audience, the satisfaction of indulging in dark fantasies, reveling in the sheer wantonness of it all, that sort of thing. Hana could potentially get past the sex itself (within the context of the Club), but I think the mental aspect that Felicia craves is pretty much exactly what Hana doesn't want the MC to share with someone else. Her taste is just too different from Felicia's to permit any consistent overlap. My guess is we'll have to either stay casual with Hana and embrace the bond with Felicia, or keep things platonic with Felicia and thus stunt her friendship.
Outside of Hana or Mina, I also think it's also rather naïve of anyone to think that the MC would have any kind of lasting relationship with the Carnations after the Exhibition. As you said, he's there to do a job and eventually bail. Depending on how you play, as much as he may like and give a crap about the House Girls, the job there is just a stepping stone for him. In the same view, you could say that he's the Fourth Carnation (a theory I've held for a while).As someone who has romantically cold-shouldered Mina since the beginning (because of the bro-code), and has not developed Hana's path beyond "just friends", this was indeed a brief update. With my primary focus being on the Carnations, I didn't feel like the MC needed personal attachment distractions (he's there to do a singular job, and then bail, after all). No complaints though.
Given the fact that some players, like myself, didn't have any Hana content this update (because we didn't choose her path), I am very curious to see how the MC's involvement with Hana will develop (arc) beyond this update. Will we always just be friends? Will we get the opportunity to take advantage of her position? Since the MC's job heavily depends upon on how the club is managed, I don't see a scenario in which we could avoid certain Hana interactions in the future.
Overall, excited to see what comes next...hoping for another 4 month (or less ) turnaround on Ch4Up2.
Cheers TD and Gil!
Chuck's job offer for MC is for MC to be a Carnation employee throughout pre-med and med school. August explained it early on that MC is going to be under Kathleen right now temporarily because it's Carnation Event period, but after that's over, he's to be a gopher and do miscellaneous jobs during his weekends, including taking care of the house girls.As you said, he's there to do a job and eventually bail. In the same view, you could say that he's the Fourth Carnation (a theory I've held for a while).
and has no intention of that changing
Hi!I believe Hana is already aware of Felicia's motivations for joining the competition. She was there for the show where it was discussed.
