VN Ren'Py Race of Life [Act 1 v1.04.5] [Underground Studio]

[jadepaladin]

Short summary:
You don't know if she cheated, but you assume she doesn't. Noted!
I'll say you don't know, maybe she has.
Same story 2 different points of view.

Like I said, anything to justify Jake cheating.

Never mind the fact Jake is petty enough to use it as ammunition if he knew. Well that didn't happen so now Allison is smart enough to keep the affair secret to justify Jake not knowing. Wait if she's smart enough to hide an affair, why was she with Jake in the first place? Oh Lily of course, it was a marriage of convenience forced by Allison's parents, a shotgun wedding if you will. Her dad? Bates of course, to add another layer of animosity between him and Jake.

God, fanfics are easy.

I don't see why it's connected!
I'm not saying it was ok, you try to put this into my mouth! I'm saying we don't know. That is a fact, you telling me I want to accuse Jake for cheating is just not true. I don't care. He was cheating so what? He is like fucking everything that moves, this is fine with me. Maybe he is spreading some sexual desease, we don't know!? He can fuck Deliala in all holes, I'm not complaining, maybe I'll skip through it.
If Allison cheated, fine, if she don't, the same!

Fanfiction is creating fictional facts, while I'm speculating.
I'm not rewriting the story, I questioning things that people assume are facts, but they are not.
So please stop making facts out of your assumptions!

Your definition of fanfiction is literally self-contradictory. Fictional facts? WTF? THERE ARE NO FACTS, THIS IS ENTIRELY FICTION. Facts only exist in reality, which you seem to have a very vague connection to.

Look, the difference that you refuse to understand, seemingly to troll at this point, is that creating scenarios out of whole cloth, instead of based on actual things in the vn, is creating fan fiction, rampant speculation, and not working with what's actually presented in the materials. Fanfiction is fine, there are tons of it, if you like it. This board is for discussing the actual game, and relevant theories about it, not for wild speculation. Waifu wars are more appropriate.

Allison, Maggie, and Jasmine supremacy.
Kris and Alexa are okay too.
Basically anyone other than V, she sucks.

The only facts in a story is what actually has been told by the author. Did the author tell us Allison had cheated the MC? No. Did the author tell us Allison could have cheated the MC? No. So yes, you are speculating, but your speculation is to create fictional facts.

OK, you are correct!
But did the author told us she cheated not? No! So, you are speculating now, that she cheated not!

Wait, I can use this.

V has cheated on Jake too. I know she's been super pushy about getting into a serious relationship with him and it would make no sense but since the author hasn't outright said "Veronica has not cheated on Jake," she has. It's just a tiny version of Mad Libs.

"Insert LI" has cheated on Jake because "reason."

Nah, it's story first kind of VN. There are quite a few sex scenes but they are spread out in the story.

The racing, while important, isn't done all that often. Typically comes with a mini game where you have to upshift inside certain rpm ranges and timed choices throughout each race.

Exactly this. You can lose races, and there is no noticeable impact to the Lily story. As of what's been released thus far, it just affects how much cash you have for the app to upgrade your car. Currently you can buy one thing from the upgrade shop, but based on the story more will come.

Will losing races impact the main story? I doubt it every will as that means there'd be variations where Lily may not survive. And I don't think the author wants to go there... but that's just my guess.

The bulk of the raised money does not come from Jake. The money comes from: 1) Allie's cheque; and 2) the cash winnings that his best friend (blanking on the name) got from his race betting, to pay for the treatment.

You just don't understand, but this is fine with me. I never said V or Allison cheated! I said we don't know!
You try to say she did not cheat, but we don't have facts! We don't know if Jake cheated! But we know he accepted others saying it, so it seems very likely.
I'm not trying to say Allison cheated, I'm trying to explain that we don't know it and we can't say if or if not! But I have to agree the likelihood of her not cheating seems higher then cheating. But we don't know for certain.

So we've all cheated on Jake? Heh..stupid cuck sucka....

Finally something other than fanfiction.

I'll drop this in a spoiler tag but it's from an earlier update.

She tossed what, 8k? I have more than that in savings and I don't have a six figure income for sure. Maybe she didn't want to donate all of her savings but still, 8k feels light.

A VP has way more than 8K in savings, even if 8k is a quarter of her savings 32k savings for a VP is nothing. Probably just an oversight from the developer IMO

Who knows what financial costs had to happen. Maybe she had major housing repair costs, or medical costs, or paying for private school and daycare (which costs a fucking fortune in the US). Jake hasn't been contributing a lot of money, based on his current status.

Good private schools and daycare can easily cost more than public universities here.

Yeah, I just try to ignore money in games. The economies in games are so whacked that nothing makes sense. Even in AAA games it's the same thing. Let's just pretend taxes and the cost of living are so high that a VP at a major company like that can just barely scrape by. Just pretend that everyone making less wouldn't survive.

Many executive-level and board salaries are high, but a lot of value the real value is in the things like stock options and other "intangible" (tax-wise) perks and benefits. Worst case, she'd have been able to very quickly get a bridge loan until she could cash in some stock options.

Economies, money, and value of goods/homes are, I believe, just ways to make scenes feel impactful. So each scenario is self-contained within that scene in that moment. That's why from that scene, and onwards, you never see them trying to scrimp and save their pennies. It's just life as usual.

You can buy way more upgrades already since the latest release already, there just isnt a race yet but there are quite a few upgrades available.

I mean jake worked in the same company and has apparently no savings at all.

But at some point Jake drops something like "we couldnt even get the money together if both of us would sell all our assets" so it seems like their money is mostly bound in some long-term assets and getting the money was a matter of days thing to get it started immediatly.

There is only one thing you can buy before a race, and it's not even an upgrade, because you are forced to as part of the shop tutorial. The rest are completely irrelevant at this time, other than deducting money from your app, until the next race is written. I'll be curious to see how upgrades will be handled.

I'm guessing they will unlock additional decisions to make during a race. The car is always shown at peak RPMs with the pedal to the floor. Traction, friction, weight, tires, and etc., don't seem to be tracked in the game as of yet. Unless races are changed: 1) shifting to the right gear in the ideal range; and 2) specific move decisions; are all that affect races.

Jake doesn't seem to have a full-time job, as he's getting his PhD. He's not a professor and says as much. I'm not sure what a guest lecturer gets paid in this game world... especially when the guy you report to hates you so much.

Jake worked at the same company as allison before everything happened for quite some time and had apparently a good position.

You can buy more upgrades for the car in the newest episode already (before it was only the one you mentioned), there just no use for them yet, thats what i meant. What the upgrades do is mentioned too.
