Chapter 1 rework was really well done. Nice work on that. It definitely felt more in line with the newer chapters now, and can't wait for the chapter 2 rework.

Speaking on that, going to assume the next update for this will have the Chapter 2 rework and then on to the others? Already played through all the current content (Chapter 4), so assuming that next update is the Chapter 2 rework, I think I'll keep my save at the end of Chapter 1 so I can just hop back into it from there, instead of having to start over again lol.

But thanks for your work Ocean. A truly beautiful game you got here (along with WIAB). ;)

You are aware that this is in a Thread about a Porn game right?

or are you saying this isn't one?

It's a visual novel with adult elements. Always been advertised that way. Story first.

This isn't like other games that focus all on the sex and barely the story. This is the opposite. It's right there in the developer notes on the front page.

This isn't a porn game! This is a story-focused game with adult elements.
If you just want to fap, this is certainly the wrong game for you.

Story build-up does need some time.

Im pessimistic about the future of this VN but chapter 1 & 2 definitely needed a rework.

Chapter 1 was terrible and that "basketball" game in chapter 2 is an abomination

No doubt. The car crash itself isn't really the issue; Victoria would likely still need to get injured and if conflict with Marla is required, something has to happen there as well, it's just the whole exchange is just...off. It's hard to imagine someone would pull a gun on MC in that situation. It's just really really dark and gives the game kind of a bad feel because of how not only irrational it is but because it happens so early, a new player really doesn't have much context to draw from in terms of the MC yet and can make them want to stop playing. I know Ocean wants to convey the depression-state the MC is in, but this particular scene just doesn't fit well IMO.

Thankfully this level of darkness goes away quickly in the story, but ya it's just not something I'm a fan of and I've seen a number of comments about it in this thread and in the reviews. I just think a better "scenario" could be constructed to obtain the desired situation (Victoria injured and wheelchair-bound and Marla and the MC having had something happen between them that created some issues) while being a bit more believable and not creating too dark of a tone.

I believe I once financially supported this game. It seems to me that I stopped because of the dark tone the game was beginning to take. It's been a long time since I played the game; but as I recall, the blonde woman (sorry I'm terrible with names) wanted revenge on her neighbors because of something that they had done to someone that was important to the blonde woman. It looked to me that it was going to turn out that they had raped or physically assaulted the woman in question. On the Patreon page for this game, there is a picture of a woman with a scar on her face. I believe that she is probably the woman in question. Can you tell me if I am right? I liked the game at one time, but I do not like stories that include the physical or sexual abuse of women in the story or backstories.

Hi everybody! I'm new on this tread, so don't be harsh:) Game is awesome, be more straightforward, the plot is awesome t(ext/dialogs), even better than in DIK ( in my humble opinion). Just have one question, how often updates show up? For 4 chaptes it's really a lot of content (not in order sex things ofc:D, but events) and with this quality of renders (as I got from brief searching, first chapter was remade a few times, but still, impressive). 3-4 months?

Updates release in their "beta" version, as in their is re-work content that is being finished, after the initial release. Once completed will be updated to fully "complete" the update. Yeah, on average. Updates take 4-5 months depending on the size and if rendering and planning go smoothly. Welcome to the thread btw.

Quick question, Do the mods still work with the rework? Or are we waiting for them to be updated?

Well, here's my humble opinion of this 'update':

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Agree with some of this except the new outfit and Vic/Mila's features. I found the outfit pretty smart. It's not unusual for filthy rich kids to wear smart clothes to school/college though, especially in the age of the insta selfie generations.

I loved the reworked chapter 1. The scenes are so much better, the dialogue and story makes more coherent sense and we even get more glimpses into the characters early on. Only thing is Chapter 2 looks pretty aged now but I know Ocean has said he will rework that and yeah, it sticks out a bit after the amazing reworked first chapter.

Mila looks damn hot now! and that's from a guy who always goes the Bella route every time.
I am not a fan of her pneumatic tiddies though, they look humongous now....which actually put me off her more.

Nami has perfect sized ones and Bella's are just damn fine...ahem :whistle:

Girl with scar is not the girl that needs to be avenged. There was a sexual harassment backstory to the revenge but not assault if I recall correctly.
