Any gallery unlockers available? I have like 3 scenes that I can't seem to get and don't want to play through again.
I partially agree with you, however, you need to know with what yardstick of perversity you measure other people's actions.I do feel the beginning is a bit overpromising in regards to darker stuff. The atmosphere there is done so well, but then its getting more and more lighthearted. Even the exhibitions are mostly quite tame. To a large degree its sexual pleasure for the carnations. There are a few occasions where its getting darker (water torture harper, bull prodding), but then there is eighter no sex involved at all (prodding) or it is completely disconnected from the dark stuff (harper). Iirc the only thing ever happing without consent in the game is for a guy: MC getting drugged...
that's assuming every update will cover one day, which is unlikely... there could be days skipped. Also this update was on the higher end of render count, the next one could be smaller for all we know.Maybe someone asked this before... so sorry about that in advance.
But 7 months (!) for just one day ingame?
Calculating this up for a minimum of 4 weeks (Ch4Up4 = day 16, wednesday) means another 12 days... and so another 7 years? Or over 2 years for next 4 days?
Don't misunderstand me... this game is top notch and I love it!
Getting "the day" with my favorite Felicia in this update was just marvelous!
But... another 7 years?
Or 2-3 years until next carnation?
Ähm...
That's a chromatic aberration effect, with some added blur on the corners. The idea was to convey more intensity and haziness to the moment.Great update as usual.
But I have found something strange in one of animations from this update. I have checked the posts from the moment the first version was leaked but I haven't seen it reported here. Or someone did and I just didn't see it.
It's near the end of the Hana scene. There is some weird green contour in some places. As no one reported it maybe it's only on my side. But just in case, here is a screenshot of the animation:

I will add to this: you need the "lighthearted" moments to set a baseline for the "darker" moments to have impact. Wall-to-wall misery in a narrative is often just spectacle, and is honestly, not the kind of story I want to present.I partially agree with you, however, you need to know with what yardstick of perversity you measure other people's actions.
One of the most interesting aspects for me in the story so far is that the protagonists are in that Sodom and Gomorrah for relatively noble reasons, however, for them to achieve these goals, they have to become corrupted. This dichotomy is where much of the eroticism lies in my opinion. Knowing that they (especially Rose) can cross a point where there is no return, a level where they accept the lust that exists within them.
In short, I believe that the developers are gradually creating the circumstances for the story to become darker, they are simply in no rush to get to that moment. You need to have a concise narrative to reach the climax. Making a cinephile comparison: you first have to go through the Von trier level to reach the Gaspar Noé level of sluttiness and desolation.
Not every day of the in-game calendar is made equal. In theory, the next update is going to be two days, and we're hoping will be done in less time than this update. Time will tell how that bears out, but it is also an inside joke between GIL and I that we'll be finished in 2030 - in a haha, "oh god please no" way. So hey, maybe you're not too far off the mark.Maybe someone asked this before... so sorry about that in advance.

You can get your dick chopped off whenever you want.
That makes sense.That's a chromatic aberration effect, with some added blur on the corners. The idea was to convey more intensity and haziness to the moment.
That was a deliberate shift sometime after 3.3 or so. Treating scenes like Veronica's date, which has a very specific tone and set up, as set pieces. Because, if you've gone as far to get that point, quantum Edwin doesn't need to exist at that point. He's not the Edwin that pissed on her face. Presumably. And if you somehow managed to get there while being a jerk ass, then I'll just leave it to the player to justify the incongruity of their choices.Compared to the other aspects of the game where there is a pretty significant attention to detail and choice the lewd scenes feel almost forced. There are some acceptations but that's my overall opinion of them. I can understand them being like that with the competition but outside of that they are still very linear.
Mostly a matter of wrong expectations.I partially agree with you, however, you need to know with what yardstick of perversity you measure other people's actions.

It's not about positions or anything like that. I personally don't care about picking what the two characters are doing in that sense. It's more the "lack" of approaches for me. The liner thing being my biggest pet peeve. I get that you have written a pretty scripted MC, not a bad thing per se, it's just that to me it feels like if it doesn't have to do with Eden's inner turmoil's your options are limited. When it comes to that the player actually having a say in what they will do unlike many others.That was a deliberate shift sometime after 3.3 or so.

And if you somehow managed to get there while being a jerk ass, then I'll just leave it to the player to justify the incongruity of their choices.
And just generally speaking, rather than let the player pick positions, we thought it's more satisfying to just include all the positions in a straight shot. There's still variations littered about, like in the FFM scene from the last update, and you almost always get to guide Edwin's "outlook", but we have admittedly dialed back from the template set by the Felicia scene in Elias' office.
Nothing is really set in stone design philosophy wise, and like you said, there's exceptions. Out of curiosity, what kind of choices would you want from a sex scene?

oh i understand that but if your phone is more "powwerful" then your desktop you;'re better off just using that in the first place Lol (for this case anyways) like i still see people with 8 gigs of ram and windows 7... like come on even lots of phone have 16 gigs of ram Lol and aren't running a 15 year old outdated OS and these are the same people that cry "game sucks can't run not optimised" failing to realize the issue isn't the game its their dam potato!I agree but that's more or less the case in a huge part of the world. Desktop PCs, especially decent ones aren't all that widespread but everyone even in 3rd world countries does have a mobile phone. It's the reason that mobile gaming is so profitable. Well that and 50% of the population are idiots.

I think you're underestimating the amount of work this would involve. Let's use the Mina scene you mention:It's not about positions or anything like that. I personally don't care about picking what the two characters are doing in that sense. It's more the "lack" of approaches for me. The liner thing being my biggest pet peeve. I get that you have written a pretty scripted MC, not a bad thing per se, it's just that to me it feels like if it doesn't have to do with Eden's inner turmoil's your options are limited. When it comes to that the player actually having a say in what they will do unlike many others.
Rose's full deal for example. You can make a choice of what you want because it's part of "him", that's cool when it happens but often he/you are making choices for everyone during the lewd scenes. Like with Mia's first scene, everything that happens is 100% linear aside from where you finish, it just feels very railroaded to me. Just a small amount of player agency like many of the other scenes would go a long way I think.
I know that technically that would cause a little more work but then I think of how you as a player can choose an outfit for Mina and that whole scene is written with thee different sets in images. The actual sexual encounters wouldn't even be the same amount of work. If it were just a change in dialogue and flow that is, I'm not asking for whole separate animations or anything like that.
I'm not great at explaining myself but I hope you got some of what I was saying.
