Jessica and Skylar being, for now, exclusive, makes sense to me. Jessica needs to feel like she's more important to the MC than Skylar if she is going to allow herself to start a relationship with him. If he has a girlfriend, especially if that girlfriend is her best friend, she's going to back off. So she needed him to choose.I only have two complaints. 1) I have to wait now for the next version. 2) Jessica and Skylar being exclusive routes. The writing in this game is really good and I'm loving the story. It feels really weird though that Jess and Skylar are exclusive routes considering how many other girls are all involved and doing things.
Don't risk relationship with Jessica when Skylar asks you
When does this conversation happen ?Don't risk relationship with Jessica when Skylar asks you
Ep 3 i think don't remember now preciselyWhen does this conversation happen ?
Always been animatedThe past sex scenes seems to have been animated now. Am I tripping or has that always been the case? It's been quite some time since I revisited Ripples.
Nerd! Kidding, I noticed this too, but no biggie.Faraday cage mention while in front of a glass wall took me out of it
When does this conversation happen ?
Ep 3 same conversation that ends in spanking/analingus/cunnilingus/blowjob scene, which is just before meeting Luna in present day when remembers she left the oven on at home.Ep 3 i think don't remember now precisely
The most reasonable thing to be stuck on this update was the lack of player agency which is magnifed by the MC pulling a dumb brain moment. You aren't given a choice to trust Skylar or not you fully do (even if you the human player can obviously tell she is lying), which is right next to a scene where you again have no way "stop" or make a choice (BDSM with Riley). Obviously people will complain about coomer stuff like "I don't like tattoos" or "muh waifu not being subservient" but for you to notice the complaints but say you aren't sure makes it seem like every possible reason to complain is "invalid".Nerd! Kidding, I noticed this too, but no biggie.
I'm not sure what all the complaining's about. I laughed my ass off, and there were some hot scenes in this update. Thanks for keeping on with this story, Jestur! It's easily one of my favorite adult VNs
I think the MC choices to trust her because of how much he likes her and she seems like a caring person in the past. Because from what I recall of the MC's personal thought he knew she was lying / not telling him everything, but didnt want to push for more information just yet. Since she just came back.You aren't given a choice to trust Skylar or not you fully do (even if you the human player can obviously tell she is lying)
How much does the MC imply he knows shes lying? He makes an offhand mention of tattoos but by the time they are at the restaurant both are more or less acting like they never vanished for a day/multiple daysI think the MC choices to trust her because of how much he likes her and she seems like a caring person in the past.

I 100% agree with the riley stuff tho I did choose to trust her even if it makes no sense. In part because she did tell use what she did to the principal so even if she is lying I dont think she was being completely dishonest and well curiosy won over common sense on this one because of how crazy Riley is. Tho I did hear the dev added an addition choice so we arent forced into the lewd scene. if we do trust her.
I think the MC talked about how he knew Skylar was lying at the start in his house id have to get a new save up to speed to double check. Just something I do recall I felt that was worth mentioning. But yeah you are right just cause the MC knows she is lying would be nice to decide if he still trust her.How much does the MC imply he knows shes lying?

Either way it is still a negative point towards player agency because in the same update we are given the choice to trust someone who lied to us....Why not give skylar the same choice?

A hacker/impossibly talented programmer claiming to be the reason someone did not show up at work/was in the hospital is not tangible proof......she is creating AI's that are hilariously ahead of what we have now she can look into someones medical records(or pay one of her many hacker associates she met via bitcoin) we didnt see the bat, didnt see a picture of her at the scene etc
Well Faraday cages only attenuate the EM field. If you want total cancellation, you have to go with a solid Faraday shield, but an incomplete cage can still screw with the signal somewhat effectively depending on distance to the source. My house is just balloon framing with giant windows. The mesh in the stucco siding interferes with the 5G, so I have nearly no reception in one half of the house unless I step outside.Nice update, although it felt like a setup one. Some great shots in Skylar's scenes and Riley's was funny. Will be nice to see the next main story progress. The number of LIs is kinda worrying, Dani and possibly Lizzy were added in this one. Hard to see them all getting proper attention without the game taking crazy amounts of time.
Gotta say, Faraday cage mention while in front of a glass wall took me out of itA more reasonable explanation could be a signal jammer or Riley hacking/accessing nearby mobile towers.
Yes we the player got to see her beat his ass with the bat but what proof does the MC have of the whole situation?I think the MC talked about how he knew Skylar was lying at the start in his house id have to get a new save up to speed to double check. Just something I do recall I felt that was worth mentioning. But yeah you are right just cause the MC knows she is lying would be nice to decide if he still trust her.
The MC didn't see proof of the bat yeah but we the player did at the end of the last update I think it was. Which is why I dont think she is being entirely dishonest but yeah she is still a liar and crazy as hell no one should trust her other than for curiosity sake because of how fun / funny she can be cause she is over the top crazy.
Yeah just one of those times that makes no sense for a player like me that doesnt play a game looking through the eyes of the MC but uses knowledge only the player has. But hard for me to forget to do that which is why my opinion is more negative than it should be of her lol.Yes we the player got to see her beat his ass with the bat but what proof does the MC have of the whole situation?
Defcon level 5 will prevent time from entering/leaving her house it will be like some sort of a home in a rift"That's because we're at security level three. Which essentially makes this house a Faraday cage.", which implies that other Defcon levels don't interfere with the cell signal.
I would say "he got jumped yesterday by a crazy person" is a normal thing for someone to say, you wouldnt "say he got jumped yesterday by a normal person." but i will admit i cant discount the fact that Riley could have raised the bar for crazy people so much that random attackers are no longer crazyIt's circumstantial and weak corroboration, but he heard Jackie say, "That reminds me. The principal isn't here today. He's in the hospital. Apparently, he got jumped yesterday by a crazy person.
I feel like this is one of the lager moments of dissonance between the player and MC in a game that i dont recall having too many moments where we as the player know something glaringly obvious that the MC ignores. In an average game that would be par for the course but i feel like it hits harder here because of the overall qualityYeah just one of those times that makes no sense for a player like me that doesnt play a game looking through the eyes of the MC but uses knowledge only the player has. But hard for me to forget to do that which is why my opinion is more negative than it should be of her lol.
I think you mean Defcon 1. Defcon goes in descending order. Defcon 5 is "least severe" or pretty much everyday.Defcon level 5 will prevent time from entering/leaving her house it will be like some sort of a home in a rift![]()
I haven't been able to be as active as I want to be in the thread because I'm in the middle of moving to another house, and my PC is now packed up, but I have been peeking in the thread from time to time. Let me address a couple of your concerns. First, Riley's bedroom scene is not forced upon the player if you choose to trust her, and you can back out of Skylar's route in ep6. There were some errors, and I added the choice on the other as planned in the first place.The most reasonable thing to be stuck on this update was the lack of player agency which is magnifed by the MC pulling a dumb brain moment.

Yes it was fine and was always going to be fine because it wasn't time for the update to end but come on people saying player agency was weak this update aren't being harsh or crazy.
You're welcome, Streetlight. I hope you enjoy it!Oh goodie a new update. Been waiting for this.
Thanks Jestur
The sex scenes have always been animated. I'm not sure why they would not, but one thing you can check is if transitions are turned on or off in the options. That may prevent some of them from playing. If you keep having issues, let me know.The past sex scenes seems to have been animated now. Am I tripping or has that always been the case? It's been quite some time since I revisited Ripples.
You guys are too smart. That's exactly why I didn't call it a Faraday cage. It's just said it's kind of like one. Riley has her own new technology that blocks signals but she didn't give a term for the technology.Well Faraday cages only attenuate the EM field. If you want total cancellation, you have to go with a solid Faraday shield, but an incomplete cage can still screw with the signal somewhat effectively depending on distance to the source. My house is just balloon framing with giant windows. The mesh in the stucco siding interferes with the 5G, so I have nearly no reception in one half of the house unless I step outside.
The bigger technical conundrum is how she can turn her whole-house Faraday cage on and off. She says "That's because we're at security level three. Which essentially makes this house a Faraday cage.", which implies that other Defcon levels don't interfere with the cell signal. If that's the case, she must be using an active intervention like you mentioned. So I take the word "essentially" to mean "not actually, but having the same intrinsic effect as".
