I don't know if Ranli's said more about this somewhere else, but judging purely from their commentsI doubt this is true, you can't fairly jump to such conclusions based on one update. I'd wager that it was a simple oversight.
Oh, that's interesting. I didn't see that comment about how Aurora will appear in the 2nd part of the Dan mission. Now I am wondering how that will work, though. Will the 2nd part for Bi players contain the Aurora scene from the 1st part or will it be a new one?I don't know if Ranli's said more about this somewhere else, but judging purely from their commentsYou must be registered to see the linksbi MC's being funnelled to the MAX scene with no choice seems to have been deliberate and not an oversight.

Nope, it's still optional to meet MAX in Part 1. I'm just going to assume that, for those who hadn't met MAX, it's supposed to be interpreted that the MC met him at some point off-screen. MAX also appears in some of the game over screens, but those are supposed to non-canon, lol.It's still odd that the MC speaks as if he's encountered MAX before when he certainly hadn't on my playthrough, but maybe something's been changed in the opening of the game since I played through that.
That's unfortunate. Really disappointing, it's not reasonable to expect a Dev to predict every possible permutation, but when a suitable alternative is already there...I don't know if Ranli's said more about this somewhere else, but judging purely from their commentsYou must be registered to see the linksbi MC's being funnelled to the MAX scene with no choice seems to have been deliberate and not an oversight.

As I said they may have gone into it more elsewhere (Discord, e.g.), but not that I've seen.I don't suppose you've seen Rani's response to that view point? (surely it's come up)
Honestly great to see how Ranli responded to this. I can see what the original plan was, but it threw me off that there is a default pick for part 1/3 for Bi players (some may prefer the M/F content more/may not be interested in MAX). I think if parts 1/3 and 2/3 were also released at the same time, it would not have been as jarring. Also happy to hear that the met/mot met issue will be fixed!Edit: Actually, check that. They've responded to a comment about it over onYou must be registered to see the linksand it seems there's been enough feedback to make Ranli change their mind (as well as fix the mention of having met MAX before):

Rejoice!
Yeah, back when they still hung around here, my impression was that Ranli was usually willing to listen to and consider feedback, no matter if they agreed with it or not. Glad to see that that's still the case.Honestly great to see how Ranli responded to this.

In game. I think you have to press "W" for it. ;-)Walkthrough ?
So, what's the point of being able to have a choice for something as simple as "does Anna get touched in the shower or not", but not "does Ci-Ci literally fuck Cousin Felix and the entire crew"??? I mean I like Ci-Ci's character before that and the fact most other choices were a choice of *action* and not *viewing* , but with Ci-Ci she's just the hole of everyone else and there's nothing you can do about it. What's the point of giving the choices for everyone else, but NOT one of the PRIMARY LOVE INTERESTS??Fortunately - if you play it right - Ci-Ci's jealousy will dissipate. She's more upset about the lack of attention you've paid her than any real possessiveness... a bit of TLC and her natural instinct to share with friends should emerge
Course... she'll still give you a right bollocking every time she finds out about a new sprog![]()
I mean, in the first instance the choice exists because some players might be uncomfortable with seeing or having a character be sexually assaulted as part of the story. In the second instance, it's literally just a character having had consensual sexual relations as part of their backstory. Even then the game only shows Ci-Ci having sex in fantasy/memory scenes and only when prompted, so you can just not engage with those scenes if they cause you significant distress.So, what's the point of being able to have a choice for something as simple as "does Anna get touched in the shower or not", but not "does Ci-Ci literally fuck Cousin Felix and the entire crew"???
I used Anna specifically because she's a love interest. I could pull up the vast majority of other sexual interactions in the first episode, Anna's was just the most relevant. My argument is if the entire game is about being able to choose, and you are able to choose a LOT in the game, then why is this something that you just have to accept?I mean, in the first instance the choice exists because some players might be uncomfortable with seeing or having a character be sexually assaulted as part of the story.

Otherwise, the expectation that all potential love interests be virginal and chaste before meeting the MC is kind of unreasonable, imo, when this is a raunchy porn game, and one that has never advertised deflowering young women as one of its selling points.
I can't recall a single instance in this game where you can choose or change a character's backstory, and it's just set in stone that Ci-Ci had dated Felix and has always been sexually active. And the latter is also true for 99% of characters in the game, except Sam and Anna. As I said, if it really causes you distress or discomfort, the game gives you the options to ignore and not look at scenes that show her having sex.I used Anna specifically because she's a love interest.

I was being a bit hyperbolic, but I specifically mentioned only the love interests, not all of the characters in the game. And it's not really a wild conclusion to reach that, since you seem to be really uncomfortable with/dislike the fact that Ci-Ci is established to be sexually active and not a virgin, you might also dislike other characters like Fatima not being virgins.The idea that in your mind, you genuinely believed the point of my comment was that every character should be a virgin, despite the fact I literally made no comment about the dozen other characters, is genuinely deranged. What an utterly moronic strawman to make. Gross.

Couldn't the dev just have decided that if the player chose, they never actually got physical, but just exchanged photos? That they exchanged them just before she got shipped out? Or that she managed to convince the people around her by doing literally anything other than sex? I mean you show it for Dave, so clearly it was a possibility that could've been implemented. The initial writing just had me thinking that Ci-Ci was just more open than her brother, not that she was just the town-bicycle.
What are you talking about anyway? You want to have the possibility to change the past?I used Anna specifically because she's a love interest.

Again, stop making strawmen. Once again, if you bothered to just pay a modicum of attention to the actual content of my comments, I got no issues with any other character, so why do you believe her being sexually active would be the issue? My point was that, from a game that has SO MUCH choice in the content, you can't decide whether she actually slept with Felix or literally the whole crew or not? You can choose fucking cock and ball torture, but for the love interests we can't?If your issue is really just that Ci-Ci in particular is sexually active, then, I'm sorry to say, the only solution is to just ignore that part of her character.
Did you even play the fucking game? You literally get a choice with Anna about whether she gets molested by Sarge or not. It's in the game. She literally describes her as maternal if you say that you hope she didn't. It's changing the past, that's why you don't see the actual scene beforehand. How is it that you people manage to get pissy about my comment that's TOTALLY reasonable ifWhat are you talking about anyway? You want to have the possibility to change the past?
You have no control over what you are spying in their mind but you have it over what you want to see and what you would have wanted to happen.
Also, your first example is wrong : you can choose to watch it or not but whatever happens in the shower between Anna and Sarge still happens
