It may sound silly, but does the game's menu screen have any special meaning? Isn't that Bella, is she in a helicopter :ROFLMAO: or a car and why is she watching the city :unsure:

Yes.

"There'll never be a scenario where you're with more than two girls at the same time that are aware of each other.
The only thing this game will feature is triangles.

And those don't come without their drawbacks.
Example: Girl A feels left out or feels like she doesn't get as much attention as Girl B.

Some of them would never do a triangle in the first place. (Just like you probably wouldn't want to share her.)


The only harem that can happen is during a medieval board game scenario. (DND sessions with Nadia.) " - Ocean

Ocean wrote this a long time ago(2021), but this, this is one of things that drew me so much to this VN. It is fairly realistic or trying to be somewhat practical. Wondering if he still stands by this vision for the game/plot(the drawbacks to throuples i mean). The fact he would attempt to have drawbacks in those love triangles is what sticks out to me(most other VN's do not - every girl just seems to be fine that you're fucking/dating everyone), and kinda makes the player think twice about going down that path, especially if you like one more than the other - sounds like you'll have to take the LI character's feelings into account also.
How do you dare bringing logic into this community discussion. This is a site where a good chunk of users are incredibly, incredibly sensitive to even the slightest hint of NTR implications while fucking all 27 LIs of the latest NLT game at the same time. This is just real life.

I'm 99% sure this is still the "plan" or whatever you want to call it.

There isn't that much info about which of the girls are planned to be in a throuple but for example Nami and Bella is possible (extremely hard to get though).
As it should be if you think about their personalities and characters. Both are fiercely loyal to the few people around them. Bella has her past trauma and is mentally unstable to begin with, even mentioning someone she loves sends her into a flying rage and she is willing to commit multiple felonies to do what she thinks is protecting Amber. Nami of course felt like the third wheel and never truly felt loved by the MC who was going through his own depression, it will be difficult to get her past that feeling I imagine, if you are dating someone else most certainly, and even then she would probably only do a throuple reluctantly because she loves MC.

It is better IMO if it would be extremely difficult instead of just handing the player two very attractive girls on a silver platter.

IOError: Couldn't find file 'Cinematics/NamivsBella.webm'
Yeah on my second playthrough with the latest update my game kinda broke for a second at that moment but then moved on to the next render. I remember a short animation was supposed to play with Nami squaring off against Bella and throwing a punch at her that gets intercepted by the MC. That video never played this time around. I assumed Ocean removed it. Then I remembered there was another one that didn't load up fully and just cut halfway no matter how many times I tried to play it (the one before the dinner "date" with Bella that shows them both getting dressed).

Dunno what exactly is causing it. Can't be a mod since all I have is the URM.

The cinematic is playing correctly in my Chapter 4.0 directory. In my Chapter 4.5 directory the secene is MIA, even copy the cinemaic from one version to the other changes anything, that means for me that Ocean was removed it from the script. I assume that the cinematic was removed because licensing issues with the used music in the cinematic.

Man, I freakin' love Nika! He easily became my all time favorite protagonist out of any VN by light-years. I was so happy to read the change log and see "Added a default name for the MC". It's tough creating an admirable MC, it's usually the toughest thing to pull off in VNs.
Except I always feel a bit awkward when Jeff goes 'What's up my Nika?' or when Nami complains 'Nika stole my bike!', which is why I always change the default name to Negus.

And still it's varying for a same character even in the new update. I'd say Vic is stunning here (click thumbnail to expand)

And, hmm, let's say just cute here

Different angle, but it looks like her chin shape has changed and lips too.
Yeah, I think I will stop playing it for now until all the reworking is done, and then start fresh since Ocean seems to be rewriting the story as well as the remaking the renders. I will wait until it's seamless again.

A man of iron willpower you are! I tried to postpone the game and failed miserably. Life is too short to remove USB safely and wait for Ocean to satiate his sense of perfection. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate how much he improves the game, but I can't deny that I eager to see how the story develops.
