Hah, yeah right now Stefan doesn't give a crap. I think when suspicions begin on the Amber route that the MC and her are getting "close" he's going to have a friggin' meltdown.I don't think Nika is on Stefan's radar (other than as a curiosity - does he/his family matter in the games of power).
I think Vanessa is the dangerous one (from a perception and observation POV).
I think any Nika/Bella time at Nick's house when Vanessa is able to observe them will give her insights into each of them and them as a couple - insights they don't necessarily want her to have.
For now, she is neither ally nor enemy, but I think Vanessa would like it if Nika owed her favors... and he might not enjoy paying them back...
There is the couple's situation... imagine Vanessa and Mario meeting Nika and Bella at Nick's house.
Or - for more fun picture - imagine Nika and Bella naked in the jacuzzi, just talking and catching up - when suddenly Mario and Vanessa, also naked, round the corner to get in the jacuzzi.
Nika - in a quiet who of dominance - just stands up and stretches, then greets Vanessa.
Mario jumps into the hot tub and damn near drowns himself trying to hide the fact that he's using a butt plug.
Once he's 'safely' under the water, he notices that Vanessa is still standing there, fully naked, and taking her time getting under the water.
Bella's face shows that she does not like the 'show' Vanessa is giving Nika and Mario does not either.
Nika is meeting her eyes and not looking at the rest of her body, while the same cannot be said of Vanessa and then Mario notices where Vanessa is looking and ....
Ocean could have a lot of fun with a certain dichotomy between Nika and Mario if he chooses to.
Once Amber's cabin visit therapy gets Nika 'firing on all cylinders' - this dichotomy will be Much more pronounced...
Cheers!!

Just on that, the last time Nika saw Summer, she was just growing breasts. Seeing he saw her once after the cabin, there could be a case for (Summer+Nika+basketball) > (Cabin/disappearance) > (Antisocial violent Nika) > (Sees Summer/Violent episode/charged) > (hospitalised/apathetic Nika). The last time he saw her doesn't have to be close to when she initially left his life. And what is said to Amber "I had no choice" means he was active in whatever did happen to her.
Exactly - Nami still talks about watching porn with Nika, so in essence the scene is still there just without the pixels on the laptop screen, but it shows us Nika's awkwardness and Nami's horniness better through their dialogue. And there are still cigarettes if you're on Nami's path, but they're seen as a sign of massive stress.
What the difference between Summers_Gone_Chapter_5_BETA and this ?
This has more content after?
Also why doesn't show the saves from Chapter_5?

Solution was in those files. Deleting them won't help, but modifying will. Who wants save naming gone open that "Named_file_save.rpy" file in notepad, find this part
"label get_save_name(file_save):
show screen save
$ current_file_save_name = FileSaveName(file_save.name)
$ save_name = renpy.call_screen("save_name_input", prompt="Save Name:", default=current_file_save_name, length=24)
return"
delete lines I marked in blue , so it should be:
"label get_save_name(file_save):
show screen save
return"
save, close, delete "Named_file_save.RPYC" file, restart the game and no more save naming!!!

Named_file_save.rpy and Named_file_save.rpyc Actually, they just need to be deleted.
Your mistake was that after unpacking scripts archive, you left it in the game folder, so the deleted file "remained" in the game. That's why it didn't help you.

next time make it clear about the scene you were talking about. you made it sound like you were talking in general and I just used the jacuzzi as an example for my opinion since it used to show his dick but either way my statement holds true to my opinion still.

Quick question, how many people think the MC of this game is one of the worst, most unrealistic MC's ever? As much as i love the game and i do love the game, i cant get over just how terrible the main character is. Coupled that with the most cock block pacing, i dunno if i can stomach seeing him turn into a Don Juan banging girls left and right once the dev removes the cocblock leash from him.

And they have so little to actually whine about, they bring up the same two scenes over and over and over and over....

It depends what you are looking for in a MC and what point of view you are looking at. For me this MC is one of better ones because Nika it quite different than alot of MC ive played. He knows he's fucked up and needs to change and trying to do something about so there will be some growth in his character.
As a MC that gets laid or has good traits yeah he is pretty bad but that is his character he isn't meant to be likeable. He is meant to show growth and change over time. idk I doubt this MC is going to have sex 24 / 7 even once his dick works again just seems it would be out of character for him. Since his growth is suppose to more or less be him getting over his trauma and trying to being a better human being and not a playboy.

Would this really start a war? The running joke since the game started is that the MC looks and acts like an emo loser, the dev of the game acknowledges this and has several in game jokes regarding it. Hell i dunno if most people remember but his dialogue has been tweaked quite a lot since the beginning. He used to be a much bigger asshole before, he has been toned down quite a bit though he is still fairly offputting.Dude don´t come here to start a war too!

No, they can be put in the same category. I explicitly said why I did that. Because they have very pronounced flaws that have a strong impact on the people around them. Bella displays a vast range of emotions, so what? Leia also displays a vast range of emotions. We see her being angry, sad and crying just like Bella. Sometimes she is even happy and smiles. These moments are rare and fleeting, but they are there. She is a very human, emotional and fragile person, too. Bella and Leia have a lot more in common than Vanessa. And considering they're both bullies and criminals. Leia is involved in organised crime, but people's hatred towards her mostly relates to her past when she was a bully at school. I don't see any problem putting them in the same category.
So, Leia is just as broken as Bella. Yet Ocean treats them differently. I've already said everything I need to in the previous post. In your examples, there is no serious debates about Bella that are comparable to Leia's. Mila's silent about her incidents and instead tells how Bella was bullied. And Nami, after that prank?
The rest. I've already said about it. (Sorry, I'm just tired of writing a reply from the start.)
We see Vanessa only twice. We can't say for sure that she deceived Bella. Her attempt to trick Nika was caused by his suspicious look. She admits it and shows him respect. After that, she becomes more friendly and outspoken during the jacuzzi scene. So yes, she is like from another world, but she's still not a robot. She shows emotions. Especially the negative ones that she can't hide when something doesn't go the way she wants. I'm almost sure that the main theme of her healing will be built around accepting new family members, particularly Noji. I think her mother's betrayal hit her harder than Zara. And if we meet their mother, it will happen in Vanessa's storyline.
I'm telling you what I said before. At the end of WiAB, William will be chasing enemies in his muscle car and smashing their heads with his foot like the mc of Drive while Leia establishes total control over the city's criminal life. I bet they'll drag the sister into their business too.
So maybe in SG they'll turn out to be the main villains.About the plan with Vanessa. It's seen almost as a mockery of the corruption trope.
I dare to call her evil simply because of her connection to organised crime and the drug trade. And evil people can be caring and act like good people in general. These are not contradictory characteristics.
You're insane, by the way.
I love it!I don't think Nika is on Stefan's radar (other than as a curiosity - does he/his family matter in the games of power).

I think they will (have to) stay at nick's house for at least a week and considering we only played 5 (?) days so far, it will probably be the whole second season? I think its great to switch the housing situations up from time to time. Now we can have a lot of Zara (yay) and Vanessa and see what kind of guy Nick is.
I really want Nick and Nika to have a great relationship, Nika really needs a experienced man he can asks questions and get guideance from.
Afterwards we can move in with Mila, Nami and Robin (which will lead to more sasha too) which will be great too.
Imo the whole description of her would never fit Leia and the women shown in the flashback doesnt look like her at all either. Leia would probably just have killed Nick instead of the accusations if she wanted to get rid of him *cough cough*
But the affair of his ex with willy is very possible, maybe leia just enjoys to gift all the Zane bastard daughters her jewelry to keep them connected to the clan and as a sign of untouchability lmao
The whole thing seems to be set up imo. Not only that Nika and Nami (have to) join the College, the whole ZPR himself seems to be designed as a education facility for the Zane (and adjacent lol) kids. Its conspicious how ZPR took over when all the kids of the known familys started to attend college.Nah go for the wall of text, we all have plenty of time until the next update. Thoughtful points help us understand some of the more hidden easter eggs and red herrings as Ocean loves his cloak and dagger vaudville routines
I'll try to be concise myself though, and respond without spiraling out to the life, universe and everything
I suspect their admission to ZPR is either a form of scholarship or Noji pulling strings via the book club. I highly doubt Noji doesn't already know Elena Petrova. I also wonder if Charlie might not be the Dean. There is nothing saying that the dean has to be one of the families who own the college. Noji has 1 degree of separation at most from every power player it seems. Katie, Amber, Scarlet, Charlie, at least one degree via Katie or Sasha to Elena, the Frohns, if she knows Katie she probably knows Zoey... I'll be interested if we find out the meaning of her tattoo.
Ayua still knows Nami has an earring and she knows what that means even if we don't. She would have known Bella's prank and seens Nami with the earring. If she wasn't observant at college, she'd know it while drawing. 100% she knows what's going on, and gave Nika a free pass only because she knows what's going on.
Nice pickup about the id!
Yep. I also think that Coach hills actions with the handcuffs also bear keeping in mind. There is a chance that their plan from higher up via the Zane's involves Nika, and that's why he's there.
Along with that, there is the potential for Marla and Noji to know each other. Marla wanting to have therapy with Nika, while NOT having therapy with Vic is really quite interesting. Maybe Marla has some other thing with Nika's history via Summer that we don't know yet.
Yep, the bookclub is super interesting. I'd say Jenna, Emilia, Katie, Charlie and Adri at least know what's going on. Also, the fact that Robin calls Adrianna Adri at one point implies that she's well known even if she seems an odd fit to the club, so she's one to keep an eye on also. Someone mentioned that Willi had an aunt Jenna, so that could also be interesting.
Nojiko knows everyone (and everything about Nika and Nami's past) and i think they owe heir for taking them in. I furthermore think that Nojiko doesnt accept any money from the Zane's because she dont want to be involved with criminal stuff or money. And i think thats why she doesnt want them to connect again as she doesnt want Nika to become a drug selling criminal too lmao.
I mean this whole universe was originally called the zaneverse by ocean lol it wouldnt surprise me if Sasha, Nami, Nika, Vanessa, Aziz, dwight, (maybe robin), ayua & adrianna and her other siblings are all half or siblings and probably many more.
Good point about adrianna by the way esp as it was stated that it was her first visit of the bookclub (Katie dragged her along).
Its kinda sad that Noji never was at home when Ayua visited, i would have liked to see their reactions. I still could imagine Noji being related to Miru but at some point decided to steer away from all the criminal stuff.
I think coach hill his is kinda instructed/advised by Katie, we know they had a talk about the possiblity of becoming first team coaches.
Miss Marla wanting to have therapy with Nika is strange i agree, i always thought it was about the gun incident but it isnt there anymore, now im kinda clueless (maybe shes his real mom
im joking)Yeah hes either willys son or its the biggest red herring, his whole body type looks very much like william too.
Not sure if it helps any and which education system ocean used for his world but just for information in germany its like this:
6-12 - elementary school
13-16 - grammar school (depending on your grades this is already graduation and end of school for most)
16-18/19 - Gymnasium (no clue how to call it in english)
If you completed all three youre able to attend a university afterwards.

Personally i want my MC to be a blank slate, not come in with a default pre-packaged personality especially one that clashes this much with being a likeable guy. Different doesnt always mean better.
Thats my problem i thinkk Ocean wrote himself in a corner here, the game has a ton of potential sex/romance options. The gallery alone has entries for 26 girls and that doesnt even include all of them like you have all the Milfs that we met from the last episode of which a handful of will eventually become a fuck/romance option so we are looking at the minimun of the MC potentially fucking 30+ girls in the game.
Thats why i think Ocean screwed himself over with the pacing, because how are we gonna accomplish that if the MC does not turn into a sex machine? I dont think people are prepared how weird this game is gonna be once the MCs dick starts working again, he is literally gonna go from 0 to 100 immediately.

idk maybe it's just me but I never once thought the MC is going to potentially have sex with everyone or even 1/2 of them just cause they are on the screen. I always kind of assumed alot of them won't be romanceable or fuckable since from what I know this isn't meant to be a harem game. That's why I don't really see him turning into a sex machine but yeah if he is going to then yeah you are right.
