the big warning page that shows every time you launch the game that lets you know there are no sex scenes in the game was ...

telling the truth...

and you're surprised?

didn't ocean take out the almost sex scene already? [Nami w MC in the hot tub bit of hot-dogging]
Just gonna say, no blue balling police in the steam version. No need for something that's not 18+, as the rating precludes sex scenes. So it will actually be a legitimate question from here on in for new players downloading here.

Well, there's more to that whole dynamic as well.

In WIAB, the Zanes and Holgersons are still tight. Katie and Zoey are in a relationship. By the end of the old WIAB Ch 6, members of the Petrova and Revera families were Zane family adversaries.

Decades later, in SG, we have the Zanes, Petrovas, and Reveras uniting to sponsor a college - ZPR. Members of those three families attend the college. Meanwhile, Mario Holgerson attends a rival college. Yes, it could be because that college is more elite, but the van Halens and Petrovas also fit within in that circle.

What is the current relationship between the Zanes and the Holgersons? Between Katie and Zoey?

That's where two sub-plots in SG will likely reveal the current relationship between the Zanes and the Holgersons, for better or for worse:

- Katie Zane's interest in Nika and Ayua Zane's friendship with Nika, versus

- Nika and Bella's plot to f^^k up the Holgersons.

How will the Zanes (and the Petrovas and Reveras) react to that plot if it succeeds?
Nice, as always, some really great thoughts.

you are scary! Did you just open my mind and just write down my thoughts and reflections???

Can I plant something else in your mind here? The connection between Ayua (=Zane) and Sasha (=Petrova)! What wasn't so obvious in the beta version now really jumps out at you!

She's kind of...weird.

[Edit:] While Sasha is an MC, Ayua is just an SC!!!
Remember that Sasha has recently been the victim of unwanted sexual advances from a married man, and is feeling pretty awkward about it. We also don't know about the reason for her scar. She's pretty self conscious at the moment I'm guessing. Ayua in the full is far more of a wild card than before, so the visit to the martial arts studio should reveal a lot between Ayua and Sasha (if she's there. It is important to note that Sasha has her white hair posse, which AYua is part of, so even though Ayua is a Zane, Sasha seems to have a level of dominance in her relationships. Obviously Sasha has a Zane earrinng like Nami does, and Ayua deflects Sasha's questions, so to some extent, both Sasha and Ayua know more than Nami about some important things.

This raises a really important point - most of the women are part of the crowd that know Katie, Leia or Willi. Sasha, Ayua, Bella (knows Zoey, so probably Katie as well - I'm going with the idea that there's more of a rift between Stefan and the Zanes than Zoey and the Zanes, probably Stefan didn't cope with Zoey carrying through with an open relationship with Willi as part of where things all began), Robin (because of Sasha, Layla (whose mom knows the Dean, who is likely to be a Zane or know a Zane) Mila seems to know Ayua well from the start, so we have a picture where almost all of the characters have 1 to 2 degrees of separation from Leia. This raises the possibility that a lot of them are curious about Nami's earring (including unknown bus/pizza goth girl) and that's why Nika is being stalked by Sasha's crew, why the first time are looking into him etc. Nami has the sign of Zane approval/protection, and they don't know why. That earring on a Cyrus 'nobody' puts her in the same category as Sasha. Some of the interest will be curiousity, because Nika and Nami are a mystery to a group that all know each other's pasts.


Also, Ayua is not necessarily an LI, but she has more screen time than Sonia or Marla, so right now she's more 'main' than side. I think Dwight and Aziz will feature more, as will Sai. I think the thing about the characters is, just like Ocean's visual composition, they'll move in and out of focus as the story needs them to, so the standard idea of a background or side character is almost irrelevant.

We know a Revera also attends ZPR; we just don't know the identity of that person yet. (Nika: "And who is a Revera?" Mila: "I think there's someone in the first team but... yeah, I don't know.").

I suspect the Revera could be Dwight, who hangs out with Sasha and is on the men's first team. But's that's just conjecture at this stage.
I'd say we can eliminate some options - it can't be Aziz, unless Molly is Donna's sister. Dwight I think has a good chance of being Sasha's brother. Jake is the character that looks closest to Donna (ponytail guy). But do we even know whether the Revera is on the guys or the girls first team (who got extra time away at the resort)? I'm also guessing Dex and Jazz aren't Donna's kids. Whe also haven't seen Henry, who is mentioned a few times. But even there, we don't know that Donna is the only Revera, she was just the only one we'd seen so far in old WiaB. If Old WiaB is true regards Donna, there's a chance that the Revera on the first time is Willi's sprog.

I'm still waiting for a full quota of reacts so I can like posts again. The site is so frugal rationing them out like this.

I can see that I'm not alone in the world with my questions and assumptions.

Thank you for your further analysis. It encourages me to poke around in this “swamp” even more and look for answers.

Does anyone know when the Patreon version will be released? I mean I am guessing this extremely censored Steam version is not the one supporters get, or am I mistaken?

There was a posting that all versions will have the same contend. So we should only missing the last update the Game got on Steam.

BobTheDuck I still have a personal question: Sasha has, let's say, "rescued" Nika from awkward situations twice. What do you think their motivations are?

i just wanted to masturbate now im depressed.
At least you match your profile picture now lol


he's drinking out of a closed flask, new rework coming...
It's the MC from Hillside lol

This flask is hilarious... why is the dude drinking from an army flask?

This is the flask he should have

Flask.jpg


I started the Steam version today. I'm paying attention this time. Being the fly on the wall sort to speak. I see the boob/make-out scene with Summer in the Cabin is gone? (summers gone lol) unless that doesn't happen yet (I don't remember) the random Nami poses are gone (when you wake up and she's in your room and does those random movements in the OG)

If these things don't happen yet then, my bad. I wish Nami had a different top on... looks so old-style compared to the other outfits/clothes I see. Besides that, I liked the cinematics and the music that goes along with them. Only 27 mins in so, still lots to see.

Oh, I also wish the dialogue font was different. Some things just feel "old" you know?

Summer being adult and smoking joints was cut when ch3 released I think (Jan 2021?), when the rework started, that was the first scene to be reworked. I agree about the font - I liked the cursive better, and I think that font appeared around ch4 for the tabletop scene, but, at least it's completely legible.

BobTheDuck I still have a personal question: Sasha has, let's say, "rescued" Nika from awkward situations twice. What do you think their motivations are?
My personal feeling is that:


Sasha is a Petrova, and she'd potentially know who recieved scholarships. Nami and Nika potentially have as they weren't able to look around to choose, and one blurb on epic mentioned that directly. So they didn't get to chose a different one, because they were offered a place like Vic? Sasha could easily hear things, just like Layla talks about how chummy her mum is with the dean, and Stefan has dinner with a coach from a rival school (to the one Mario goes to, I know Coates is ZPR) and someone from MOR, while he's the JS school. So there are definitely politics and things being said.

So that's one angle, Sasha has a motive because she's curious as to why her mum agreed to a scholarship - why are Nika and Nami special, what's so special about cute emo boy? (To paraphrase a character :sneaky:)

The other reason, which is much more likely is she is gentle when she forgets to be strict. The way she treats him when training and the drug for the panic attack are based out of kindness with no ulterior motive. The locker room thing was also kindness, but she also probably felt pissed off at what he shouted about women, like Mila was annoyed - he didn't explain to everone remember, she just heard him dissing women in general.

But the last thing is kindness isn't why she's stalking him with her posse and they seem there at all kinds of moments. Redhead is even in the clothing shop. I know they are not 100% stalking, but when Sasha prevents the fight with Sai, I wonder if the redhead was also training with Ayua. And I wonder if Sasha was there as a college founders daughter preventing a fight, or was going to rumble with Sai and friends on Nika's side, or just break it up and humiliate all the males there.

Not sure if there's a clear answer, I guess it's somewhere between curiousity, kindness and duty.

But rating SG lower than something like Deluca family is crazy. We have to draw a line somewhere. Almost want to up doot it to restore balance to the force.
It's subjective. I've been following this game for 5 years, I've seen what it was, what it could be and what it is. I'd rate The DeLuca Family higher than SG Season 1 without a shadow of a doubt.

a 16 year old really play those kinda games?:unsure:
Buddy have you played the latest version? The target audience of this game is LITERALLY teens now. Most 16 year olds out there would love the shit out of this game. Considering I'm almost twice as old it makes sense I'm having such a hard time liking SG.
