Hi to you all and TD1900 and GIL3D in special!

Here are some thoughts on the new update after a first quick playthrough.(Have to do some more for all paths I like) So I wonder if I might crave your momentary indulgence for my post.:)

Generally the graphics went up in detail again, great work by GIL! For instance it was immediatly obvious when a scene entry render was older, like Rosi laying in the grass. Still topnotch work, but the newer renders show the development over time clearly.

Also great work with the story by TD! Even for me as a second language English speaker the good writing style is clearly visible, esp. for an AVN. Storywise we had some developments we could already guess from the earlier story and some rather surprising events. Looking good so far, also the various subevents we can get, depending on our playthroughs.

Thanks for proving my argument in a couple discussions that Grace is the coldest, among the most selfish and loathable characters in game! In some ways worse than Kath and Chuck, who have their mental inclinations driving them and shape a good part of what they do. Sophia is an eccentric, ends justify the means girl, who can certainly be dangerous when needed, but as we can see in game is not as dead inside as Grace must be. Even August beats Grace as a parent easily. I am looking forward to get revenge on Grace.

Andrea turns out to be what many of us guessed. A ditzy, but adorable, hot, fun loving ray of sunshine! In a game which can get dark at times, characters like her, bringing in some light, are needed. Hopefully we see her again.

It was clear after last update that Felicia would have few scenes, but still rocks. The distance to the other two Carnations is also very much visible in her dressing style. Even going into a metal live bar, she is dressed to impress. One thing I found remarkable and debatable is in my playthrough I am on the Felicia path with high stats and spent the night with her in Feli´s hideout. Felicia questioning his loyality this strongly during the talk about the next exhibition seems off to me. It makes some sense if you barely qualified for her path and made some specific decisions during the game that she has reservations. But if the Felicia relevant stats are at or near current maximum and made choices favourable to her, she either would not question the MC´s loyality at all or would phrase it differently, less hurtful. Just my opinion.

As already mentioned earlier, I found the various subevents, e.g. being Veronica´s wingman, being with Hana, helping Ian, etc. very nice. And it underlines how you played so far to get some options at all.

The Rosi specific storylines were a bit hidden, if I may say so. And while that makes sense, esp. if you made a deal with her, I think some of the Rosi fans will find it odd.

Unfortunately the update had not enough Sophia stuff in it.:giggle: Hopefully we see her again soon. Would truly love to be able to romance our eccentric doctor. Wooing an eccentric like her would be a quite different path than most others.

It is also interesting how Ian´s path can diverge. There is quite a difference if we support him and bring Ian to think about the future and if we let him be the nihilisitc playboy. It might even be possible for a reconciliation with Mina. There are hints into that direction. A possible curveball would also be if Ian and Viki hook up in the end. Which would also be a mega "screw you" to Grace.

A great update: it cements Pale Carnations’ position as one of the most erotic games to be found here.

I did feel a bit letdown at the way the Kat scene played out: In the long real-time interval since she supplied him with that kit I had built up some high expectations concerning its eventual use. The scene was well crafted in that it didn’t force me out of the MC’s head: he had a similar reaction, given he says “...honestly, I expected you to turn up with a house girl....” I had expected something even more exciting than that, but agreed with the MC that if granny-abuse was all that was on the table, he might as well give it his all.

Here is a sequence that will do it. There's other permutations, because having her drink does lower some score thresholds, but to keep this uncomplicated:

Can you confirm whether the math exists for someone to do Full Deal AND still get 'openness', or is it strictly "one or the other"?

Pale Carnations [Ch.4 Up.5] [Mutt & Jeff]

COMPRESSED:
First off, thanks for the file.

For the uninitiated among us, how does the file get compressed from 12 gigs to 3? Different compression algorithm, or replacing the original images with lower res or...?

Compressing the media files (Images, Video & Audio), and sometimes converting them (.png >> .webp, etc.)

In this specific case:
Image quality = 60%, Audio quality = 20kb/s, Video quality: crf = 39
---

Cheers & kudos to the wonderful devs for this truly one of a kind VN!
Stay safe, and happy new year in advance, to you all! (y)

Same here, maybe its related to the multi-mod?

Im like 99% sure it did everything possible with mina and with hana everything despite the gf path (on fuckbuddys in this save). Any ideas?
You have to be fuck buddies with Hana, and casual lovers with Mina. You also need some bicurious points with Mina (I have no idea how many). Dance with her and let her see you kiss Hana on stage. At the end of the night she’ll then make out with Hana

Hello, do you know if there are other secret scenes with Victoria that are not in the gallery like the scene where she is with the black guy ?

Great update in terms of content but it felt very short time-wise like 1 1/2 days? Is that comparable to other updates?

It is interesting I thought picking FWB with Hana would be kind of a dead end for them relationship wise but you can see with her conversation with Mina she clearly is not satisfied with that and I wonder if it will convert to a full relationship later.

It was nice to kind of see how with Rose saying that Edwin telling about the club is selfish because it's about making himself feel better because I always felt Edwin was kind of selfish for wanting to tell his mother he knew about the porn and it was nice to see Edwin kind of change his opinion on that and tell his mom that she doesn't have to tell him and have him delete the videos.

For those struggling with Mina/Hana path I think you also need Mina to have bicurious points but not encourage her to lez out with Veronica so she's alone so you have the option to ignore Rose ignore Felicia ignore Ian and then dance with her -> kiss her -> stay and cheer on Hana -> go up on stage and kiss Hana right after having kissed Mina.
