haha i thought for a long time she was gorgeous but i wrote that as soon as i see her with her hair down. im so glad that she will be more apart of the story now
Can't quite remember who it was now because it was a long time ago, but a dev once said a complementary hairstyle to a face is easily one of the biggest make-or-break on whether people find a character attractive or not. And I can attest to that effect time and again.

Or look at the scenes gallery on the main menu, there is a list of girls, and their pictures.
But there is no way to access the gallery but from main menu. You can't just right click during the game and look into gallery. Also gallery doesn't holds any info about character it shows. Last time I've played this game halfyear ago, I don't remember who the hell Nancy is.

For example - Ocean changed Vanessa's appearance and at first I couldn't understand who is it. Only playing from start I've got that this is the girl Bella and MC tried to get into their plan.

100% i actually like her with her hair how it was but it definitely changed her look when it was down. i think that just shows how good looking she is though. If she ends up with a great personality the more you get to know her she will definitely be hard for me to turn down on any of my playthroughs. before i was just all in on bella but im hoping now i can somehow get both.

when a girl has short hair it is a deal break for me, so i will always agree with that hair opinion.

I had the same issue, because I used the mod from version 3.5. Delete the game and copies a new one on your pc and start from your last save in the gym from the new playthrough.

I agree. Let's hope for the best. Ocean really likes what he is doing and he is really interested in developing the universe which he is creating with his games. Considering his love for details and constant improvement of his work I do not fear, that he could abandoned his games. For him it’s like abandoning a child as he once said in a post. It might just take time. As long as he doesn't experience to much stress this game will be fine. If it only was for money, then he would already abandoned it. There are devs who create VNs only for money and there are devs who do it out of passion. Ocean seems to be the second type.

So, let's just appreciate what we have and hope for the best.
I hope you're right man

Not sure if Ocean is still reading this thread or not? If so, just a few things I wanted to mention now that I've finished Ch4 Beta intended as developer feedback for him.

First of all, great length to the chapter, given the ~8 months wait time it was good to see such a significant chunk of content get released with this update.

Quality of the renders was top shelf - while my girl Amber was only in it for one brief scene, she was mind-blowingly gorgeous again. :cool: Really looking forward to romantic opportunities developing with her.

I didn't skip much in the replay and basically spent around ~10 hours re-playing the entire game from start to finish, first time since August of last year so that was fun seeing the whole thing play out in basically one long playthrough.

The animation quality was fucking awesome - loved some of the new animations like in the classroom with all the characters doing everyday things, and later Bella & Ayua at the race just walking around, etc. That really adds some nice detail to the scenes making the characters and world feel much more alive.

The table top session...meh. I think it was better than the ones from "Being A DIK", but still after a bit I found it somewhat boring and just wanted to get through it. Ocean did a great job on the environments / music / etc. though in it as it was indeed creepy and well-realized.

The scenes early on with Bella where they are walking through campus and just being affectionate with each other were great as I really liked seeing how other characters noticed the behavior, etc. I also think Ocean did a nice job with the way he basically forced the relationship to sputter out to give the player choice and effectively buy time to introduce other main LIs in the game so the player has time to collect info before making any permanent relationship decisions. Also in those same scenes with Bella, and later with Zara, the way the narrative handles the affection situations without having sex in them (yet) is probably the best I've seen in the VN arena - you can actually feel the emotions between the characters as the scenes unfold and for them to not even include sex yet is pretty fucking awesome - when the romance scenes actually happen later, as Ocean mentioned in an older post, they are going to hit differently for the player, and much harder than just a mindless sex scene.

If Ocean can speed up dev time on the episode release schedule, I think he'll pick up Patreon subscribers, and quickly, too. I'm glad I chose to back this game, and Ocean has earned my continued patronage with it. Looking forward to more!

ok. I might be crazy, I know Ocean has said the two games are connected. I just went back to play Where it all began and see Leia wearing the same earrings Nami and Sasha wear. Then Nami mentioned how Vanessa said they seem "familiar". Wonder how they are connected.
There are definite connections to Where it all began, as for how they are connected I am not sure yet.
WIAB is the 1st game and the setting where his Zaneverse is happening so yes it has ties to and will have ties to the future 4 games he planed as summers gone is one of them, provided he actually gets to finally go independent should steam kick off well and no further troubles arise.
Personally I adore Leia and to read she might not have gotten the ending she wanted or something simillar is breaking my heart

I like this game!And i also like where it all began.But i I think you'd better not develop two games at the same time.
Sadly for you he wants to do both together as he's comfortable and says will prevent him from burning out so let him do as he pleases as he's a smart man, but I pray he's finally done with reworks as he's already kicked off 2/5 stories he want to do and "Where It All Began" needs to have a firm setting as this is where the Zaneverse starts and I for one am terrified of what SG is revealing already of what transpired canonically there.

Keep the "other event cards" in mind, you know, that ones that wast intendet to be in the game. It seems that our little Nadja is preferencing a more ...

... how can i put it? ...

... exotic kind of sexuality
She's as KINKY as it gets. Reminds me of those elite horny women of America and Europe we see in movies or read in books.

ok i wrote loads of shit to say about this update..... but only these words matter. I love bella and think she is great but..

ZARA IS FUCKING GORGEOUS
I agree, this update made me care about her as a character when i didn't before. I already thought she was fine asf though lol
Zara with her hair down instantly shot her up to the top 3 in this game for me.
haha i thought for a long time she was gorgeous but i wrote that as soon as i see her with her hair down. im so glad that she will be more apart of the story now

Fellow Zara fans it's good to finally see you. :D
But really though she has an amazing model simillar to irl supermodels and she has good style but the real kicker was

now let's hope Ocean delivers an amazing arc for her, personally I didn't foresee ch 4 making such a turnaround for her character, which makes me want to abstain playing half an update as I feel I would never get to experience those who played the full ch felt. Btw who are the top 5 interest for you till now ?
For me it's
1)Bella
2)Zara
3)Amber
4)Sonya
5)Maija

Yeah, Zara is cool. And i must admit, at the beginning Vanessa was rubbing me the wrong way - hard. I just couldnt stand her, but after a while i started to like her - well, kind of...

Inclined to agree. The update was great, but plot progression was kind of minor.

Things I’d say actually progress the plot forward from this ep:

Oh my God , wait 8 months again .

So,let me get something clear. I played the 'new' update from the start cuz was no saves and I end up on the same spot with MC chained in the gym??
i downloaded the game and played it, but the last scene is after the basketball match in the gym in the locker room. then i get a 'thank you for playing chapter 4 but this is the same ending as the last update? Has anyone an idea? sorry for bad english
yes me too, maybe someone can explain
That is mostly the case if you play with an outdated mod or IC patch
the only mod that doesn't do this is Universal renpy mod so either wait for updated mods and patches or play without them

I started game from begin and don't use any MOD or cheats, but I can't unlock the Gallery scene! anyone with this problem too?
Finish the requirement to get the scene you want, it's mentioned there as your mouse hovers over the image.
