Believe me, I would've preferred a full Carnation update, but it would mean doubling the development time for this cycle. Because it wouldn't just be "...and the Felicia scene" on top of what's there, it'd be the totality the next day too, which has more to it than the art gallery date. There is 12 days left in the schedule and a lot of moving parts, and rushing to include another day in a time frame we feel comfortable with would mean cutting corners and running on an empty gas tank as a 1,800 image and 64 animation update doubled.

When it's all said and done, and the game is completed in total, I hope the whole VN provides a satisfying experience and not just a satisfying update that pleases everyone.


Ill wait because this stuff takes a lot of time, to make for sure the update is going to be longer so i know this will take up to a year just like other games that taking two years.

There are always pro and cons, no matter how one tries to do it. DPC tries to give substantial content for every path with every update, so now his updates are at well over 5,000 renders and 250 animations...and take about a year (which is actually still an impressive output for "just" a year).

And even with Eternum, where there are no real "paths" Caribdis has pretty much split up the LIs in two groups for even and uneven patches now, so that only about half really features in every patch.

I am really glad the dev does have a clear vision of what the final product will be, and more importantly, have a plan to achieve it.

And you guys' updates have convinced me to put my trust in your creative direction.

so... Just like the MC said before he got his slick haircut.....

"Whatever you think is best"

thx for the awesome update.

So does anyone have a save where you can do the Veronica content I can't do anything with her
I'm sure it has been mentioned elsewhere, but with the way Ren'Py treats saves, it's a significant risk to use someone else's. It's extremely easy to fill a save with malicious code. I recommend you set the TAB key, load a save from just before the spider scene, use the cheat mod to raise Veronica's stats, then when you get the option to hug her, do it. TAB some more, and you'll get the date scene. It's only about two or three updates back, so with fast forwarding it should only take 10 - 15 minutes tops.

So it's broken saves rather than the mod
Don't have a single clue about renpy, but I've heard that problem may be caused by using another mod previously. Modders come and go plus because we see updates rarely I have no idea what mod I've been using myself. Can't load any saves too. There's one very kind and generous modder on these forums but I just can't ask him to help, because I think he would've, although we aren't acquintances, only because he's a good guy.

Dude, with the way things are going in the indy hentai scene, the real threat is DYING OF OLD AGE BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS ON YOUR PLAY BRANCH, rather than "getting hacked". Get your threat model right...

Just found this game for the first time under the Latest Updates page, and, it has ZERO RIGHT being so damn good. Like, legitimately hands down the best use of HS I've ever seen and the amount of polish what with the transitions and background music, but also just the sheer depth to the story and characters. Usually there's this sorta... lopsidedness with ero games, with either plot or "plot" just there as almost an afterthought. But... to see them blended so well like this, where it's actually MEANINGFUL to story development and has you stopping to ponder your choices rather than just trying to collect all the H-scenes, feeling the emotional weight behind those decisions... Just, yeah, beautifully well written. 10 outta 10. Amazing job!!!

Ok, so i get i'm just being silly cause playing the game will obviously explain things to me but i'm impatient and want to know, given the game is about a brothel, i searched for ntr/sharing and got a lot of responses that said 'nope' and that's cool, i could play with or without it depending on the quality of the game, i don't mind going outside my personal tastes for a good story, but now i'm left wondering how you can not have ntr with a game about brothel girls, aren't they boning clients every night? How's it actually work? I'm not an ntr guy but i'm not at all militant about it and i can still get into a story where the LI's are working girls if that's what they are, could be very interesting, but yeah, i guess i just don't know what this game actually is and want to know how i should be expecting things to go.

All I can say is this game is really different from just about any I have ever played. Here your decisions are basically become a super jerk or fake being a super jerk and actually be a nice guy underneath it all. so, it's difficult to answer your question but basically several of the girls can become actual LI's I guess that's why there could be possible NTR but they also work in a brothel so to speak as you say. So all in all it's not traditional ntr but there are scenes that can make some people uncomfortable because there are several options that I don't want to spoil for you but you will basically see others having their fun at times. So imo there is no definitive answer to your question as it's a matter of perspective. I personally am not a fan of NTR at all but I do enjoy this game there are some scenes I don't care for but I knew that was a possiblity when I started so I just tried to go with the choices that I wanted and not any preset or pre determined outcomes if you will. I tried to make my choices fit the moment. I know that's not very helpful probably but I would suggest giving it a try and see what you think...
Edit: Ok so above instead of LI's I should say something more like friendly fuck buddies or something. Beyond that not sure. There is one carnation I really like though so maybe in the future we will get a chance to see if there could be something more to it but I'm not the dev so... he says they are just contestants then who knows what the future holds.

The titular Carnations are part of a yearly show where the club takes "normal" women, promises to reward one of them, pits them against each other to see who can become the most star-studded whore. The MC is the ringleader's lackey and stunt dick, although, some of the events have involved other patrons and the MC's best friend.

The game doesn't contain NTR by virtue of the game's setting and the main character's disposition. The story isn't centered around having a loved one stolen from you. The main character isn't in a committed relationship with any of the Carnations, nor does he entertain any notion of monogamy with them in the present circumstances.

Now, will you feel sad about what's happening to them? Maybe. Hopefully.
Because that means I succeeded in making the characters worthy of empathy.

There's also a lot of weird shit involving the MC's mom, but that's at the forefront of everything, so you should know pretty quickly if that's a deal breaker or not.

I've never modded the game and my saves from chapter 2 do not work. Saves earlier than do seem to work.

The only things I can think of that I changed is using renhack to extract the rpa files so I could read the script as a walkthru so I don't miss any scenes. I can't imagine how that would break anything.

I did some more testing. I had multiple up2 saves other than the masters I was trying to load. It seemed that most of them worked. It seems like only the ones that saved one the end of chapter message failed, which I don't think has been an issue with this game in past versions. I also tried loading those master saves in the up2 version of the game and rolling them back, this still would not allow them to load. But loading saves from during the up2 Mina sex scenes and the very begining of the confrontation with Abel worked.

Hope this helps other and/or the devs figuring out what triggered this so they can avoid it in future.

EDIT:

Oh another interesting note. When I loaded those master saves in up2 and rolled back, both my crashing masters when rolled back skipped the final scene with the MC's mom for some reason. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that scene when I played it so I can't explain this.

Okay so as this update was focused around Ol' Ronnie I've been having a think about a way for her to end up being permanently tied to the club, but in a happy nice way, as I'm desperate for a Veronica Fel throuple wifey situation (as unlikely as that may be).

I think maybe it could be solved by the club using her gym to launder money. She'd still get to be all mega intense about the gym so it'd only attract a few clients but ones that share her very hardcore attitude, but it'd no longer matter if it was a viable business or not. Only problem is I'm not even sure if the club would need that, as they can probably account for all the money by being a fancypants elitist institution, and just not mentioning the whores. The only other way I could see it would be to have all the prostitutes attend her gym to keep them in shape, or let the gym fold by have Veronica set one up for the girls inhouse, but that doesn't seem as neat and tidy.

The Fel part is easy, use the clubs connections to fuck over her husband somehow so she can divorce him and take all his money regardless of wat kind of prenup there was. She'd then buy out Kathleen's share to become the queen of the club. As while I really like Kathleen I've never forgiven her for saying the MC can't get her pregnant any more (the only less sexy thing than that would be to say she doesn't want it). So I dunno what to do with her, as I want her killer mind intact but somehow hopped up on aphrodisiacs and cock addicted so she becomes the head girl and uses all her wit to get the only thing she now cares about might work.

MC just needs to inherit Chuck's share having somehow pushed Killian aside. Previously I wanted to knock up Mina then have Chuck ban him from the club to focus being on a father, but I guess that'd not work now. Though I do want to get Mina working at the club asap and then get to see Killian's reaction when he sees her slobbering over a few old men's dicks... so I'll need to keep him around long enough for that.

Hana would inherit August's share maybe when he gets killed in some kinda dirty business. Kathleen would then be rightly concerned how her goody goody attitude would mess with the club and so would find some way to mindbreak her with those drugs and keep her as the bartender but also a house girl making her share a silent partner. This'd be prior to the MC then in turn doing basically the same to Kathleen as previously mentioned, having learned it from her while helping do it to Hana.

No interest in Rose really other than as a conduit to seeing the mother doing porn, and I'd rather go to the source for that. I imagine some kinda scenario near the end when she falls on hard times again and the MC has the choice to now either sell the share of the club he's gotten from chuck to stop her spreading her legs on camera again, following a normal life, and becoming a doctor... or maybe by this point he's so deep in it he lets it happen so he doesn't have to sacrifice his club action. It'd be interesting to see if he hates it, gets off on it, or even tries to take things over and make her do some blindfolded scenes where he's the stuntcock without her knowing.
