So first i want to start off with an issue which connects to a recently brought up topic and is incidentally one of my favourite, although also a bit frustrating, one also: Vickys porn history (is past in porn the better english term?) or do we, since the release of Ch4Upd1 have to say porn career in future?
I am a sucker for actual, ingame screen shots, since they often provide much needed context but they are not always easy or fast to obtain due to the games size, so i did what i tried to avoid so far: unpack the images and delve into them.
The added bonus is, i was able to obtain the image file names, so finding and fixing them should be easier for both GIL3D or TD1900.
Edit: So it seems it's never fast or easy, the ripped images weren't for whatever reason uploadeable, i had to manually screenshot, rename and upload them, and yes, this took hours. Add a few more for writing my actual comments about them.
I'll try to upload and discuss them inside a spoiler, to prevent bloating the thread and of course protecting players who want to discover them by theirself.
The quick and dirty read from it is:
It looks like -as of Ch4Upd1- there are now at least 5(!) confirmed porn shoots of Victoria out there, spanning a time frame of over a year. Whereas of Ch3Upd4 there were only 3 confirmed ones, over the course of roughly 3 months and one which was contested in being real.
The use of camcorder frame with video time-stamps is still (perhaps by design choice?) inconsistent. Which i consider suboptimal because the 'correct' use of it provides much needed information on perspective and objective truth. This is especially important, because those video snippets consist of flashbacks into the past, actual content found on DVDs or the internet, Edwins interpretations of the content and last but not least the cameras POV.
There are still wrong date and time stamps in the last Update, which may add further to the confusion.
Edit2: need to stop here, i realized i am doing this now for twelve hours straight.
Upside is, the rest of Vickys porn content is waaay less extensive, and lots of groundwork was also done already in this post.
So i am confident to deliver the missing second part much faster, at later date, perhaps tonight.
Cheers!
PS: the images are supposed to form each a single two or three picture line. My preview looked perfectly fine and sadly they were messed up in the post. It looks now terrible and i want to beg your pardon.
I would caution that you keep your assumptions tempered over how much of it will be actionable and weigh that against the time it will take you to compose some rather lengthy (by your standards) to judge if its worth the effort for you.
Thank you for your answer!
I am fully prepared that literally none of my suggestions see the light of day, so there will be definetly no hard feelings from my side. I consider my mission accomplished if i can spark a nice discussion, every bit more than that i would consider an incredibly lucky bonus.
I trust your judgement in deciding the best course of action for your game, anything else would be preposterous hubris from my side. And of course i try to keep myself in check to not (only) propose stuff based on my personal preference, although as probably everyone i am biased towards ideas i personally believe are sound. Any discussion helps to reveal such a bias and is worthy to be held.
In case you cant be bothered to read my last post, i'd like to reiterate obvious bugs in a quick sum-up for your convenience:
After the 'suggestion' to show her goods, you used w1_0152 instead of w1_0156 resulting in a minor timetravel to the past.
Starting with w1_0158, the subsequent images of Victorias casting display the wrong date (0159 to 0162 and also 0171), resulting in a major timetravel to the future and a collision with the shoot really scheduled at that date.
Using w1_0740, w1_0741 and w1_0742 again instead the above faulty ones should be a quick fix for Edwins flashback during Rosies seduction visit.
looks like the three images of Victorias porn DVD cases are currently unused, which i consider unfortunate (yes, this would be a personal preference ). I don't know if by conscious choice, for later use, or by oversight i just wanted to inform you they are still there. The images are pr0037, pr0038 and pr0039, couldn't screenshot them because i have no idea how to get them ingame.

Okay, so yeah. I appreciate people bringing up continuity errors. Even when it's for like the third time. My dumbass will get it straight eventually.
As of the last update I went through, and redid all the images with new time stamps (or so I thought) according to a schedule that I expressly wrote out. My memory is pretty shitty, but I do think that's the shoot that got outright moved back a month to be the earliest of all the shoots. I think the issue is, as evident by your easy fix, we originally accidentally duplicated and renumbered the same set of 3 images. When I redid it, I only replaced one set. Although, I can swore I did check to make sure one of the sets were unused, which makes me think I perhaps replaced or checked the wrong set. I'll have to take a closer look at the script and files when I'm able, but whatever the case, it seems my dumbass mistake ate up a lot of your time.
As for the unused DVD covers, they are unused for a reason. They were made back before GIL joined the project, and from a mistake on my part, the actor in one of them conspicuously looks like what would later become the model of a certain redheaded best friend. The mistake was discovered well after I handed the scene data over to GIL, and I deemed it not worth reshooting due to some misplaced photoshop files. Still, I kept it in the image directory as a small easter egg.
Hi, TD1900. Congratulations for your game. I only wanted to know if Victoria will have any erotic or sexual scenes in the future updates. Of course not with the MC, but with some other character. Thanks!
