I agree, and I love em all, but:

Nothing in there about "harem." Some throuples and threesomes and moresomes, maybe. It's also possible that there are no permanent relationships, endgame, or we have to sacrifice ourselves to save the girls, or something. Harems imply semi-permanent relationships...

Yes, there will be a harem-like path in the future.

Might have changed their mind since but that was Jesturs response when asked if there will be a harem path.

also harem implies that generally all the women in it know about the rest and are cool with it... here MC is just a fuckboi, and while some women know he fucks others, he mostly just gets his dick wet where he can. He is not building a harem.

Harem-like. Four and a half years ago. No tags.

Doesn't change the fact that the game tracks points literally called "harem" and when asked directly his answer included "Yes". Just because it's not tagged here doesn't mean it won't be in the game. I'm guessing what he means by harem-like is that not all the women will be available for it. Which would make sense, I can't see Shelby for example being happily in a harem along with Darci and Skylar.

...or especially vice-versa. Darci wants to rip her lips off. Reconciliations happen, though. I am trying to get Shelby to fix herself and get over her trauma. Sad that Darci hates her friend, when she's actually really sweet. Guilt by association.

Like I said, I would love it if it's true. I would poly-marry Scarlett and her daughters, and include Skylar, Luna, and whomever else wants in. Valerie is really fun past and present. I just doubt that this story will allow that.

I will say it's interesting that we're still in the past at the end of this one. Usually it's one in the present, one in the past and so on. The fact that we've been in the past for 2 makes me feel like making any progress in the present with any of the characters there keeps getting farther and farther away.

Are we close to having Tiffany or Jessica at all? Not really. We've only really spent time with one of Scarlett's twins. The other one apparently has some shitty boyfriend that's causing her problems but we've never even touched that. I think she's been on screen and talking a total of twice even though she's apparently one of the MC's closer friends.

I get that the Past is where the plot is and that to try to change the present we have to go there more often, but I really am starting to feel like the present is getting further away from any kind of progress outside of Skylar and Darci.

2019, but yeah. That was fun. It's not canon, though, right? We didn't have to get involved. I did, and I would go to the mats for Alice any day.

The modeling shoot was absolutely fantastic, the whole scene, in all variations. I look forward to where that goes.

Yeah you're right, I think Darci would be the one to go hostile and attempt to murder Shelby first, while Skylar cheers from the sidelines

Dani is actually pretty sweet I agree, it's a shame she's so close with Shelby. I think we might be able to get Darci to come around on Dani. Shelby would be a lot tougher to change Darcis mind about, not impossible, but damn difficult.

As I mentioned earlier in here, Dani developing as a character to be more independent is one of my favorite aspects of the game, as well as her unique combination of hyper-intelligent/complete idiot/absolute hornball. In some ways she reminds me of Scarlett the Squirrel in the comic Sequential Art.

Just use the mod download tagged vanilla. That one doesn't have the incest patch.

Skylar seems to be the face of this game, right? But even if we get the next episode this year, it will still be about 2 years since we last saw her in ep6. Granted, it was one of the best dates in any AVN I've played... but that only makes it harder to not see her for so long!

Which is especially tragic because she had a discussion with MC a few updates ago regarding Dani, and she said she would give her a chance, if I remember correctly. But well, Darci was pretty drunk at the time and a bad first impression is hard to overcome.

If every "choice" was a non-canon event, the final story would be missing a lot. I'm sure Jestur has a "canon" version of the story in his outlines, so one of the choices must be canon. And I'd be surprised if NOT getting involved was the canon choice in this story.

Yeah, in many games the canon things are the ones you don't get to choose, they just happen. There's so many choices in this game, though. I would never leave my friend in that kind of situation (though you don't get too much of their friendship at this point).

Travelling back and forth in time is canon, romancing a girl is not as that's a choice

 

[Pax Draconis]

Just figured out how Jestur can get around not having the MC be the father of the girls in the future without NTR. He could make the MC sterile and all the girls born through IVF.

 

[Mauser45]

I actually think it's hilarious that he's potentially banging his own daughters

Also, I TRULY hope that history has indeed changed after the last update. Can't wait to go back to 2019 and see...

 

[FutabaSakura8]

I really like how Jestur keeps developing his artistic approach. All those angle switches, camera zoom-outs etc. I especially liked the foreshadowing in the Scarlett/Valerie scene, the one right after Valerie takes the MC to the bedroom. I haven’t seen anything like that in other AVNs.

Bro also really stepped up his BGM game. I used to consider the BGM in Ripples — especially during the sex scenes — the weakest part of the AVN. But now? It's just *chef’s kiss*.

Well its a bunch of ai-gen music, nothing to be impressed by.
