!And Mad World got a new release as well!Chapter 2 of Courtship: A Dance with Love is out onYou must be registered to see the links!
Should note that the update is "just" a bonus update with a date with Chloe and some ... interesting ... aftermath of said date. No main story progression.And Mad World got a new release as well!
It looks like it was pity, but was probably the potential. After all, Elsa must have seen something similar (that the audience hasn't) to arrange an interview with the other CEO.With Emma, I think bacienvu88 and my speculation about her from last episode has been all but confirmed. Edward was her 'favorite' and she covered for him during his fuckup years. The question now is why. Was it simply pity? Did she see a seed of potential?
I think he massively resents the fact that he needs her and it manifests as juvenile snark. Like you say, though, he does get the point and can put her lessons into action when he's forced to.Does Edward really not get what Elsa's telling him or is he just being snarky about it? He can put her advice into practice when the chips are down.
Did anyone play 2 Sides? I know it's unusual for me to recommend an incest game, but this one has a lot going for it in a way we don't really see in AVNs.
Managed to catch up to the newest update.Will try it out today and share my thoughts
I couldn't agree more. Glad you liked it, despite shortcomings.Lastly, this is kind of an extension of an earlier point, but... this story doesn't really justify its need to be an incest themed one. The same would work just as fine (probably even better) as a "first love / childhood friend" story.
The sad part is the bitterness of some reviews and discussion about it.Managed to catch up to the newest update.
While I do have my fair share of nitpicking and dislikes about 2 Sides, I'd like to say - "It's really nice to see an AVN that is so empathetic about it's romance."
(More of this please.)

Coming to the smaller details, I have quite a lot to say. So instead of rambling for paragraphs, I'll try to list them out, one positive and one negative.
. Though I was skeptical about the first person narration, for the most parts it works well.
. However, it also doesn't take advantage of the visual aspect of the medium all that well. I could read the same story as a novel, and I don't think it'll change my experience all that much.
. The sense of intimacy showcased in it was top notch.
. But (some times) the narration of the sex itself felt a little mechanical (and maybe a little repetitive even?)

In the end, despite it's shortcomings, I think 2 sides is well worth the time it asks you to invest in it.
And depending on how well Gwen and Mike's reunion (and beyond) is executed , it might turn out to be one of the stronger entries of its genre/tag.
I tried it last night and I really like the set up for the story (competent writing), world building and a possible LI, but that is really all it is at the moment, a set up. I'll keep my eyes peeled for updates for sure.Nevard Good start for a new dev and has me intrigued for more. Not sure why it hasn't more attention. A modern fantasy with interesting world building. I find the characters interesting as well.
I liked it too. Big fan of Chloe's parents, especially her mum. This episode was worth it for that kitchen scene alone. Coffee really does go well with a side of shotgunBut I really like the update nevertheless. The chemistry between MC and Chloe is great.
My thoughts on Corporate Culture 0.6.

Having Edward, none of the three broads are needed in the company or the story, he makes them real,It looks like it was pity, but was probably the potential. After all, Elsa must have seen something similar (that the audience hasn't) to arrange an interview with the other CEO.

The multipass joke made me laugh. Call me simpleton but playing house with Artemis was the high point.Some thoughts on recent updates.
Artemis
I feel this game is slowly turning into another City of Broken Dreamers because there was barely any plot development. Looking at the whole episode:
- Artemis became aYou must be registered to see the linkstoddler, and most of the episode was dedicated to playing house with her.
- MC took a highly valuable, semi-functional prototype android to... clothes shopping because that's a totally normal thing to do, and not at all some flimsy pretext for the player to ogle her and Veronica's tits.
- MC bought a supercar for a guy he met for 10 minutes, using someone else's money. Said someone else was OK with it, for reasons.
- MC drove vampire lawyer girl to the airport.
- MC play-wrestled with gun nut cop girl.
- AI dog was missing magic juice, now he isn't.
- Kindra pre-announced the announcement of Artemis in the upcoming expo, which we already knew at the end of the previous episode.
And that's about it? The only plot relevant bit was Cassandra stealing the chip from AI dog's old body and that's hardly enough for an update six months in the making.
Price of Power
Since this episode isn't public yet, I'll put it in spoilers.

Considering the amount of clothes shopping scenes in AVNs I suspect that a lot of devs really enjoy playing dress up!MC took a highly valuable, semi-functional prototype android to... clothes shopping because that's a totally normal thing to do, and not at all some flimsy pretext for the player to ogle her and Veronica's tits.
No, we didn't? In the previous update Kindra wanted to bring Koko. Plans changed after Artemis' awakening.- Kindra pre-announced the announcement of Artemis in the upcoming expo, which we already knew at the end of the previous episode.
Ah, that's true. I was referring to Kandice McCreed's scene in the last chapter where she learns about Kindra's plan to announce AI tech at the expo, which remains the case.No, we didn't? In the previous update Kindra wanted to bring Koko. Plans changed after Artemis' awakening.
I mean, you say yourself that she comes across like a toddler, so it might be difficult to find a worse approach. It just seems like she's got a bugged language module out of nowhere and for no other reason than to infantilize her and turn her into a tropey anime waifu.That video descibes AVN's perfectly=), but I don't think it's a 100% applicable for Artemis as of yet. Sure, she's supposed to be a sex fantasie for guys like all the other women in that game, but this is also a porn game, so... Not the worst approach to do so
So, I'm guessing she's the fan favourite? It was kinda weird how the PC was suddenly contemplating her opinion so much.- MC drove vampire lawyer girl to the airport.
