haha well for me Vi is like a little sister so she gets downgraded to content only save
Ines is Vi's friend so she goes to the friendzone
Armit I see more as someone to mentor so that's a no go for me so content only save there.

You mean TheUnbroken Pt7 Old Edition right? In the changelog it states that you have to replay the game if you play the Book1 download, but you can just prep your saves if you play the old edition so i'm assuming old players should play the old edition to transfer saves.

it's all explained in this post here. I personally used the second option (with the old executable) as I didn't want to replay the whole game again. Up to you

yeah, I get you
for me it's almost the same picture but with different LIs)
Kana is my least favorite, Elspeth is also not that high in my rate.

So it's Ines, Serena and Vi for me here, Serena is not a LI, it leaves Ines and Vi.
If there will be a 3some path with them (and so far it looks very achievable) I'll consider myself a happy man)

 

[xCalon]

No love for Amrit?

For me, probably Unbroken is one of the few AVN-s, where I truly happy with every LI, including Amrit. I like all of them, I can bond with all of them, and if I have to choose one of them, then I choose Amrit, Els, Vi, Ines and Kana. On a separated and faithful routes.

 

[jadepaladin]

Personally I only like Kana and Elspeth the rest are just not LI material for me for one reason or another. tho gonna make saves for all of them when i replay this game

Els does it for me too. I find Kana and Amrit easier to reject but I still don't like it. Ines is tricky, I really like her character and wish she got more screen time than she does. Vi though...that girl deserves the world for what she's been through and it's literally painful for me to hand her yet another loss. Plus I love her facial expressions, especially early on when she looks at Valentine.

This is almost like I wrote it myself.

Ines did get a lot more screen time near the end. The walk with her really started to open her up as a character. A lot of bluster with a lot of insecurity/shyness underneath that she overcompensates for. The conversations on the date and the ending shower conversation and scene really started to make her click for me.

 

[Rehwyn]

This is one of the rare AVNs where I actually love every main LI. I even like most of the side girls (except Jenny, she looks like an alien sometimes). It's extremely competitive and while I'm not one of those types to run around screaming "harem pls," this would easily be my favorite AVN if it was. I think Valentine has the charisma to pull off a poly situation especially with how the dev tosses around bicurious points. Still, I respect the developer a lot and understand that's not the intention. Every time I have to turn a LI down in this, it's painful.

Emphatically agree on both counts here. Not sure what genetics Jenny has, but wasn't interested at all.



I personally was working under the assumption that if you permanently friendzone an LI (there's a variable to track for each LI) the bicurious would mean they may look at others in the house. I didn't actually dig into the code to see if that has any impact so it's entirely my speculation.

On several playthroughs where I closed off both Amrit and Ines, and they were flagged as permanent friendzone, the MC commented a few times on some scenes about how close they were getting to each other. Again, I didn't look at the code, seems like something that would "naturally" develop if the MC said there was no interest, and they were curious. Since they are essentially non-lewdable characters in the game at that point. If that makes sense?

In case you were unaware, the dev has stated there will be 2 different throuple paths, so while it's incredible unlikely there will be any path where you can end up with all of them, there will be a few poly paths at least.

The Author had the one so I expected at least one. I'm mainly hoping for Amrit/Ines or Els/Vi. I could see a possible Kana/Amrit but I don't really care about it.

Absolutely yeah. I personally prefer have to make the hard calls by having to choose and reject. Makes things a bit more interesting than an "I win" where MC ends up with everyone, and they all ride off into the proverbial sunset happily ever after.

I don't expect reality in the games, but there are some elements of reality I love to see done well in them. And this one has really stepped up the game there with the LIs.

I'd agree. Those two groups (Amrit/Ines and Els/Vi) are already starting to "pair up" in terms of interests and spending time together, so it would make sense.

Kana, to me, comes across as less willing to be interested in 'sharing' MC due to her beliefs. She also doesn't give me the vibes of being into women that way.

Honestly those two are my guesses as well. Vi/Ines is the obvious choice, but I could see Stew deciding to keep them as just friends (and it's worth noting originally he planned for there to be 3 throuples, but had to drop one due to excessive branching).

I jumped off the Vi/Ines train pretty early. See them more as each other's best friend, so romance would just blur that line. It doesn't feel like the natural progression of that friendship compared to something like Els/Vi that is a rivalry turned into mutual respect.

Agreed. There's also the aspect of Ines and Vi having an established relationship structure in general, whereas Ines/Amrit and Els/Vi are both new and still in a larger state of initial flux. The existing friendship could of course change, but it's probably less mutable compared to new relationships.

That said, there is the somewhat recent scene of Ines secretly listening to MC and Vi go at it that throws some uncertainty into that mix from my perspective.

And I could almost see Stew throwing in a form of quad involving Ines/Vi/Amrit as a surprise, though that's definitely a stretch since nothing about that has been mentioned to my knowledge.

Amrit/Ines

Honestly it's the option I prefer most given their frenemy relationship

Completely agree. As the MC, you're either looking for a partner to stand beside you to face down the world or you're looking for that person that gives your fight meaning and the strength to keep walking forward. All of these women are strong in their own right. None of them deserve to have suffered as they have. Each of them, individually, can relate to you in a way that none of the others can. There is no right answer.

No one can relate to your past traumas the way and to the depth that Els can. Kana is the only one that has been to the top of her sport, knows the ins and outs of being the sports biggest name and the pressures that come with it. Ines is not just a fish out of water, but people also actively dislike her due to who she is and where she's from. Amrit and Vi's relationship w/ the MC share many similarities, but are polar opposites.

Both Amrit and Vi have much longer standing relationships which are well established before romantic feels come into play. You're Amrit's coach and trainer and VI is functionally your ward at the behest of herself and her brother. Both have functionally lost their entire families, though you're sort of VI's adoptive brother and Amrit's mother is still hanging on by a thread. Both have been forced to travel the world, to places they have no desire to be, just to find their place beside the MC. These two are functionally two halves of the same coin. It's just a question of if you want that person to stand tall beside you or that person that drives you forward.

And all that's still a gross oversimplification. Each bring with them their own weaknesses and disadvantages. With Kana, there is no hope for a quiet life outside of the spotlight. With Els, two people who have suffered in such similar ways can easily send each other spiraling back down, especially as much as she focuses on it. The younger 3 are naive and each have major character flaws. Vi, like with Els, has a lot of shared trauma with the MC and neither her or the MC have truly effectively taken steps to get the necessary help. Ines is very much the spoiled brat w/o the life experience to truly empathize with the MC. And Amrit is a haughty, horny firebrand who could just as easily end up distracting you from your pursuits as you might distract her.

It's just as easy to argue all of them are the right choice as none of them are. Personally, I struggle the hardest choosing between Els, Kana and Amrit. I always end up favoring whomever is on the screen in that moment. Hell, even when you openly admit to sleeping with one of the others with one of them, they champion the success of the other girl. There are flashes of jealousy, but currently they all seem to see you in a similar light to how the MC sees them.

I replayed , just because i was bored since i had nothing else to play so... was a good deal
Honestly theres only one woman in this VN that i really dont care about and that is Kana . ( yeah you heard me )
OOH dont get me wrong , i find her very attractive , she is petite and a pretty face but i still dont like her . Unfortunately even trying to avoid her the most i can , im stil forced to interact with her because she asks for help on the "fighting" ...
To be honest , i would love to be with Jenny , Julia ( ring girls ) over Kana .

Elspeth has my heart since the beginning so , she is a Goddess and my number one.
Amrit would be my second one , even tho her belly tattoo is a turn off , i still like her a lot .
Vi maybe enter my top 3 , i really like her , but so far im more concerned about protecting her , than be in love with her.
The attorney is a nice one too , i would prefer her over Kana , but i forgot her name for the moment D: but she is a nice and cool one .

Now talking about hairs , short hair for womens are very difficult , is not a lot of womens that can pull that off .
So yeah , Els with long hair please , she really dont look good with short hair , like i said , is very different , short hair in women is not something that any pretty face can pull .
I dont think i have more to add so
Thank you for the game and im looking forward to see whats coming next

With Kana, there is no hope for a quiet life outside of the spotlight.

Seeing as the MC is a rapidly rising star in the UKFA, as both a fighter and a coach and looking to open his own gym, I doubt he's too concerned about being in the spotlight.

Kana, at best, is in the lowest ranks of UK Wrestling for the moment. And since she wrestles in disguise only a few know about it (opponent, MC, Trinity, and her opponent).

Hello everybody! Frigid as hell in my neck of the woods, but I'm fan, always more creatively inspired when it's chilly. This week Ines comes back for a second title screen. If I were a gambling man I'd put a wager on a decent amount of time with the rapidly rising, late competitor for best girl.
Now on to the numbers, the current scene I'm working on is a bit of a chonker so it's a bit slower to render than I'd like, but what can ya do? We have about 2831 rendered of the 2877 posed. Chipping away best I can.
As I mentioned last week animation is back on the backburner for now until I finish up the stills so not much advancement on this front.
That's the weekly numbers for you, very exciting and sexy I know. Plans for this week are playing catch up on some stuff. I have a whole boatload of customs and end of the month renders to finish, also it's time for my beginning of year super backup of all my files, so those will probably take a day or so, then back into the muck. I'll be having an art stream for Blue Belts and up this Sunday Jan the 26th at 1pm Pacific time, I'd assume spoilers if you decide to drop by.
Anyway thank you as always for the support and I hope you all have a lovely upcoming week.
Sláinte!

Is there a gallery unlock patch for the latest version in-game gallery?

Bullshit, we all know the ultimate true waifu is Alistair.

Ok nonsense aside, the only thing is that with Kana I think they are more in tune about being betrayed by their friend; while the sporting career is more of a parallel with Amrit.

Damn, I thought the update was ready for this month
