Since I was presented with a blank space for the names for Sister and Cousin/Shortcake, I didn't realize there were default names. The fact that people usually refer to them as Sis and Shortcake, implies many others had no idea there were default names.
I just started a new game and I hit enter. I was presented with "Her name is ." ("That's a gorgeous name.")
As I suspected. No default name.
Weird. I swear there used to be default names (I haven't played the beginning since April 2020), but I guess I could be thinking of a different game. So I apparently was wrong, but you get the point, though. Except for our little discussion we've been having, I haven't ever looked for or referred to the sister or cousin by name here anyway. Sorry for the confusion.Oh? So they don't have default names. Then i must've named the cousin that since i first played and ever since associated that with her. Wait then where is he getting Michelle and Maddie from then if there's isn't a default name? Are we both just confused by naming our own character and thinking it was the default the whole time?
Yeah, I think nearly everyone found that problem this time. On my save path that should not include Yuki, I dug into the code and made sure to answer every question wrong (dogs, pool, city, Leo or Ares, No, and No) so it would kill her path. I then just saved right after leaving her and heading for dinner so it (hopefully) permanently locks her out on that set of saves. Ofc, this shouldn't happen in the first place.* It became a problem once the save did not respect my choices. It was my main save (I have other catchup saves for Yuki and Trisha) for the Sara / Half-Sister, Carissa / SC, Ivy and Ashley path. Imagine my surprise when it threw me onto the Yuki path (MC said that he wanted to grab a lunch before his next appointment, then there was a loading pause and suddenly I found myself in the harbour with Yuki) and mentioned things like the water plane that I've never encountered in this save.
This is actually just coded multiple times. At the end of one file (04_week4_00.rpy) and at the beginning of the next (04_week4_01.rpy). The code literally calls for the same image, text, and fade in / fade out multiple times, as if it were copy-pasted. Just an oversight, but obviously it's weird and shouldn't happen.It then proceeded to load the "Some hours later" screen three times.
Not sure on this one. Were you also on the sister path? I think you might only be given the option if you're both on Ashley's path and you're on the sister's path. I could be wrong, but if I'm remembering my playthroughs correctly, I had the option when I was on both paths, but the MC either just left (if I was only on the sister's path) or he automatically went with Ashley (if only on her path). Unless I'm misremembering, I believe that's how it went for me.* Being on the Ashley path I had, as opposed to it being mentioned in the WT, no opportunity of choice to drive home to the hotel earlier. Not that I really wanted, but still...
She'll love it, and you know it.One thing I know is though, as much as the game will allow me, Svetlana will be watched closely and held on a very tight leash.
Well, I currently have 100 Half-Sister points and encountered every scene with her, so I assumed I was on her path (which is apparently, according to the WT, "not implemented yet").Not sure on this one.

Can I just tell you that its extremely annoying to see a tag that denotes content for just a single scene? I know that's not your fault, and I know that tags are considered "warnings" here, but in general one would think tags should actually denote relevant content. If a one-of-scene is too much for people to cope with and sends them into a frenzy, I have no idea how the hell people deal with day to day life. I get it. That scene makes it qualify for the tag. That doesn't make it sit well with me when you get excited for specific content only to find out its a minor one time scene or something that you spent time getting to. I don't think its asking for much for things to be relevant, not just to assuage people's fears of every little thing that might happen.I requested that the tag be added. IDK if it will be dedicated, but if you visit Trisha at her office and are on her path, she ties the MC up, slaps his dick hard, yells at the MC, and demands that he not cum until she's says he may. It's not strong femdom yet, but it's there. She suggests afterward that the MC might get to dom her at some point later, so I assume it won't be dedicated or all that strong. But I could always be wrong, since this just started.
I'd further add that probably 90%+ aren't even on the Trisha path considering it's a choice between her and Ashley that closes the door for one or the other. To me, and as said, I'm going to guess most, won't even know or care about the Trisha path sincet he choice is between a basically fugly older mom and a hot-ass milf in ashley.Can I just tell you that its extremely annoying to see a tag that denotes content for just a single scene?

This isn't me getting angry/taking it out on you/trying to blame/fight/start an argument. I'm venting because, again, this is the most obnoxious thing. My time is actually important to me, spending a couple hours of my free time on a red herring is vexing.
Having played Melody, I am fairly certain it's going to come down to a small number of choices. Even if early on you can select multiple women, a time will come when you have to let go of one or more if you want to hold on to others. I'm not sure of MrDots' reasons, but I can think of one: having to choose means you have to think about the choices; there are stakes involved. I don't see it as pushing for multiple playthroughs (just as with Melody, though I didn't get the "canon" ending, and left out other options, I am very happy with my Melody + Sofia ending and feel no need to try for a different one.)- Being made to choose between different scenes and character points is annoying to be honest. I don't see the reason, there's not enough variation to warrant multiple playthroughs, not that I would bother anyway and I don't know what impact the points have. Just let me see all the scenes, it'd make the updates longer and more rewarding for the player.
It is possible to be in Ashley and Trisha paths. The conditions to each do not exclude the other.I'd further add that probably 90%+ aren't even on the Trisha path considering it's a choice between her and Ashley that closes the door for one or the other.

Yet I've got mine at something like -20 and still messing around with the cow. Don't mind the options when I can choose to avoid that scene but I stopped playing part way thru this update because of this.Well, I currently have 100 Half-Sister points and encountered every scene with her, so I assumed I was on her path (which is apparently, according to the WT, "not implemented yet").
i used the fourth autosave, it worked. the latest save didnt worked for me either... dont know why, but a little older save has done the trick for me. But someone wrote to use the mod, and it worked after... didnt try this outI'm unable to load my saves. Is there a way to work around it?
Lol. I really don't like their lower-lip-disappears rendering. That expression just needs to get dumped, whatever formula they have plugged in to the software to get all characters to do the same facial positioning.This pic gave me major Psycho thriller vibes. The only thing missing was the knife.
OK, I actually will push back on this a little. Those look to me like you go around on the left side, walk behind the lowest step, and climb up. To me, it looks like there is just about enough room to walk behind and the up, so I don't see anything wrong with the stairs at all. The perspectiving looks fine to me.Also, are those stairs in the background? Are they leading into a wall? And if so, are you supposed to climb onto them from the side?
