Probably not worth redownloading the update, but I wanted to note here that we revised Ch4Up2's concluding scene to be player driven. This is mostly an RP and flavor thing; You won't miss anything critical by not going back and replaying it.
Sorry I haven't been around as much lately; I finally bought a copy of
Wrath of the Righteous to scratch my non-VN gaming itch, and the thing is massive. It's sucked up nearly all my free time, and I'm still not quite done. Still, I did manage to play the Public version of
PC.
Overall, I think the changes to the ending scene were very well done. I didn't have a big issue with the original version; Edwin has consistently been portrayed as private and a bit temperamental no matter how we play him, so I could see why Abel's visit would provoke an unusually sharp response. But I think the new version smooths out some of the jarring transitions without sacrificing the MC's annoyance at the way Abel is acting. The additional details in Abel's still vague warning give us a little more to speculate on, too, which is appreciated.
My only complaint is that it feels like the least confrontational options should be gated by the 'Governor' trait; it rarely gets any attention and using it here would help highlight that the MC is unusually pissed off by the situation. Of course that would almost certainly require revising the scene even further to add some sort of bonus (since people will expect something more than a dialog change once game mechanics get involved), which is probably more trouble than it's worth. Just something to think about for next time, I suppose.
At any rate, good work, TD! Thanks for listening to the feedback in a measured way.
to those of you who like veronica: is it because you are into femdom or is there something else you find sexually appealing about her?
is there someone who doesn't like femdom and dominant masculine women, but still finds veronica sexually attractive?
I don't know if it's specifically sexual, but I definitely find Veronica attractive. She has a lovely face. Her large body makes the game's consistently oversized breasts look a little less egregious on her. I really like the deliberate, rational approach she takes to the contest (even if her ultimate reasons for participating are blatantly irrational). Her interactions with the MC on the few occasions where they can hang out without his job overshadowing things have been a delight. Above all, though, I just appreciate her willingness to call Kathleen out on her bullshit; we can score +2 points with Veronica if we refuse to ogle the Carnations at the start of Week 1 - what's not to love?
Granted, Veronica's path has been more about friendship than romance or sex so far so it's entirely possible I'll be disappointed as we learn more. I'm very much not a fan of 'domination' by either party when it comes to sex, and Veronica seems to lean that way from what from the little we've seen. And I get the impression she's a much bigger fan of lesbianism than I am. There are definitely some potential issues here. But I like her enough I have to at least give it a try and see where her path leads.
