Well. Goddamn. This might be written too well. I downloaded this thinking it was a porn game but got serious feels instead.

i hear yeah , when i put my little math problem in the thread i just used info from this game ...Actually, that is entirely dependent on the variable you set
in coma = almost 10 = so lets says total 9 years and having to learn to walk and talk again we're talking at least a year , more likely 2 years = 11 years so far ..... look at the time line the game gives March 5th 2005 - January 4th 2015 then , the doctor says you been in a coma almost 10 years so it adds up sorta like this :
coma = 9 1/2 years
recover learning to walk an talk again = at least 2 years
going to school again to learn, get a rep in photography has to at least take hmmm lets go quickly and say at least 4 to 5 years ... o.k. a reasonable person would take at least 8 years to get that kind of rep ..
total time you been thru some hell a cious shit 9 1/2 + 2 + 8 totals out to 19 and 1/2 years..
so that would make Natalies claim is pretty much incorrect ...
and so if you total the least amount of time 9 1/2 + 4 + 2 = 15 1/2 years ago .. Natalies claim would still be valid ...

It's the dialogue and choose options VN variety.
Which is what I much prefer, no frustrating grind and missed events. It's all about the story.
Could be biological, adoptive, and stepmothers I suppose

I prefer the other genre, this is too linear and boring for me. Still i'm playing DMD, so imma try this one if it's that high noted.

Each to their own.
I prefer these.
In open world games, there's too much risk of spending forever grinding, or wandering around looking for stuff to do.
Also things happen in specific places at specific times so is too easy to miss.
For those games, I really need a walkthrough to make it worth putting in the time.
VNs like this remind me a lot of the old "choose your own adventure" books from my youth...

I doubt so. Because it was you how put in "15" when you were asked how old the girls are, and therefore you assumed it only took the MC to recover and get his reputation in photography in about 5-6 years in the first place. So if you want to the game to be reasonable according to your own math (~8 years to get the rep. in photography), you shouldn't have put "15" when you were asked for the girls' age.
The woman at the end tells you "A-And... ...about [age] years ago...".

I worked in a professional photo studio as well as with Hollywood agents and PR firms. If you make the correct contacts, one can make it to a very high level in an extremely short time. The saying in the entertainment industry is it's not what you know, it's who you know - and from personal experience, I can confirm that this is very true. ~8 years to get a reputation in photography is a false assumption. Even in the story, Bernie is impressed at how fast the MC's star has risen.

Folks, don't let the age thing take away your enjoyment of the game.
I mean, wow, there sure seems to be a trend of getting wrapped around the axle about the whole age thing. The Dev has even tried to give some flexibility to the players in allowing them to pick the age so it is the most enjoyable it can be to them. But here is my advice to the Dev on how to fix the issue in the next version. Be specific on everything except the length of time in the coma and then let that reflect the math needed to match the player's input. Example:
Fixed time (only using 2 events for simplicity, but could be whatever the story requires, and years are up to Dev):
Time in recovery = 2 years
Time to establish career and business = 3 years (Spot on, seamanq!)
TOTAL = 5 years
If the player picks that they want the girls to be 18 then time in coma is 18 - 5 - 1 (actually 9 months, but keeping it simple) = 12 years.
If the player picks that they want the girls to be 21 then time in coma is 21 - 5 - 1 (actually 9 months, but keeping it simple) = 15 years.
The time back to the accident is always going to be the age chosen by the player + 9 months.
The time back to Prom night is always going to be the same, the age chosen by the player + 9 months. But my advice would be to just never reference the year specifically and just say "About X years ago..." based on the player's choice.
Anyway, I'm all for fixing anything that takes the players out of the story, and it looks like the time thing is doing just that. Given that this is just the beginning of the development of the game it makses sense to address it or I think it will just be one of those things that never goes away. I think it speaks highly of the game that people care so much about these little details! Good job Dev! And everyone, have fun!
VN game davs be like :
v0.0.1 : Make your own choices and enjoy the game!
V1.3.2 : Look at that cool new gang bang scene you guys have been asking and that I've been teasing for two versions now, YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE EXACT 78 CHOICES IN ORDER TO SEE IT OTHERWISE YOU'LL END UP MASTURBATING UNDER THE SHOWER!

Listen, we all need something to debate to get our mind off of COVID-19, President Trout, and all the craziness going on with the government and what they are (or aren't doing). Leave us to enjoy our guilty pleasures.
Don't forget that if your love stat is not higher than your curroption stat and random event no 89234795 just so happens to play out, you will get a game over screen.
