Depending on what events you've already done and what you've unlocked there may not be any events at certain times. Just check the map to see if theres anyone in a location and go see if theres a speach bubble or not.
I played through the new update using the players guide and there was no mention of any relationship score going up or down. I also compared the saved game before and after and couldn't spot any changes so it appears the choices made don't actually make any differences to the game. They appear to only be events to collect in that achievement gallery on the menu screen
Well now, let's see... I'm at day 51 (October 25), I've had raised stealth since the first week and it is now at 10. There is no mention of this route or its progress in the route notebook. When you eat lunch with Bill, all he says is "Have a good lunch Nate." (Man, that is SO creepy!). You can not converse with Bill anywhere else, especially when he is kneeling in front of the girls bathroom, the stated target of this route. From a player's point of view, this route is definitely broken. You have done what you were told to do but Bill gives you no feedback on what is lacking. There may be something that randomly happens in the last days of the month but the player has spent two game months completely in the dark. This whole route is a frustrating annoyance and needs to be fixed or re-designed.
As I said in the OP, there are no locker rooms on the school map and no direction on how to spy on the girls. I'm at day 51 (October 25) and have yet to be given any opportunity or clue on how to advance this route as directed. While something random may happen before the end of this month, from a player's point of view, this route has been broken for a game month and a half. A game is not about waiting for something random to happen.
And, therefore, it should have either been deleted until completely ported, or there should be an end-of-route-content message to the test player so that they do not waste their time trying to perform a function that does not yet exist. This kind of thing does not take the test player into account and is bad game design -- and is so easily fixed with a simple text message and/or log entry.
And as a game, leaving the player with no clue as to why they can not perform game functions that can and should obviously be performed on the same day, like talking to friends after school and then working a shift, is a point of annoyance and frustration to the players. Being a game is no excuse for bad game design and player abuse. It's hard enough to make enough money in this game while trying to cover the route events, and requiring unrealistic and unreasonable function restrictions breaks the story immersion with bad game design. The whole point of this type of game is story and playability.
That a game function like this requires "practice runs" outside the game is a solid indicator that the function is broken and needs a fix or re-design. The point here is to encourage the game developers to do just that and make the dates a satisfying experience instead of one that disappoints or frustrates the player if you don't get or even know that you got that one perfect route.
There are places in this world where misquoting Tolkien's name will get you strung up by your pointy ears. I'm just looking out for the health and safety of our valued developers. <chuckle>
That is a pattern that is opposite what should be expected for a release. The many posts in this thread that specifically mention the intention to no longer support the project prove the frustration test players are having with the game design and playability. The purpose here is to point those failings out to the developers so they can address them and bring the release response back to what it was before. The game is definitely worth the effort to help and support the developers by being more than robotic yes-posters and pointing out those things that negatively impact playability and the game testers.
am not going get into a debate with you and I didn't read your last post, but clearly you take your adult gaming way to serious , its meant to be fun and of course you not going like/agree with everything, the game is not being built just for you.Well now, let's see...

While this turned a bit wordy, I hope the developers find it helpful as it was intended.
Just reaching day 51 means nothing. You obviously haven't done the required things to make it work. I can assure you there is a new scene in the locker rooms with Bill and you can return there on your own to. You can also catch the two lesbians (i forget their names) in the locker room to complete that storyline. You seem to be taking a "superior than everyone else" stance saying you've not seen it so it's obviously all wrong. Maybe you should have a look at the players guide that was written to see what you are doing wrong. 'Nuff said.
Not a problem. Having an opinion or giving constructive criticism is one thing - but when it's based on total ignorance and then whining about something not being there when it clearly is... well, that's just another level of stupid! This is a game under construction - things won't work properly or will look odd, we just have to put up with it while you, with positive input from the players, can tweak it. It's clear, for anyone bothering to study the real patterns over time, that your Patreons are growing so you're obviously doing something right!
I disagree and stand by my reply, glancing at what he saying, most of it is easily explainable.
You should go at the school pool (or the school gym, I don't remember right now) at 16:00 on a specific day (I don't remember which one, it should be the one when most classes are there in the afternoon) and you'll find a "spy" icon.
This happens on Tuesday at 16:00, after they've been to the pool (so says the guide).
