Hi, I have an error at the end of the Shortcake/trisha path, is this normal? Are there others who have had this problem?

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

sorry it's the name I put for Shortcake

well you are 1st to report that here, there's bugfixed version which hasn't ended here yet.

 

[indio68]

what is this bullshit?? i romanced with all the girls, menus nicole and now i havethe only option to be with (connie!!which i see 2 times maybe less...and Bella?? no option for yuki,1 of the twins with wich i had a 3some too..i got a 3some plus some solo date with veronica and no option available??i think dev messed up big this time..luckly with cheast i can see all the scenes but i never liked using cheats..but , really this time is necessary cuz dev messed up with points requirement...what a pity i liked the game even if choosing 1 girl never pleased me at all.. but as it is i very unfair.

 

[indio68]

yes, we have

hope you can return to the high quality of your previous game. i loved Melody and i liked DMD too... this one i liked the story and some of the girls, like MC sister,,,but the most unsexy,dumb,charmless MC and some of dev choice , like the absurd use of the relation points to unlock the ending, flawed this game greatly..
p.s.
in Connie end dumb MC says he is gfing to see her dance..and next scene you see Connie competing in Gymnastic...that's not dance i guess..

 

[Anteron]

It is extremely fucked up. Barely spent time with Connie and she was the only available ending, but did everything to be with Sis and shortcake - with very high numbers - but to get them requires ridiculous numbers. Absurd to need a mod to get an ending. Bad dev.

well - that happens if you play a pirated early release of the game. There is a new version with bugfixes and lowered requirements for each ending.
Also you can just restart a FRESH chapter 3 and NOT load a savegame and when you get asked for it, just put 350 as value for each girl. The different paths you can turn on/off in character menu on tablet.

indeed we know. You have always to try something new. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it's a step back (like in SL).
In our next game, we again try something new. For example we try to make the MC a strong ALpha, include a possible dedicated harem ending, do much less textwalls, and finally we try to get rid of the common point-collecting system. First idea we have so far, is that you can always start or end relation with a girl, but you just can go as far as your "played" scenes will let you go. For example if you interact the first time, you will get to kiss, but as soon as you touch her, she will decline.
In Second scene, you can taouch her, if you kissed before - but she will refuse to go further if you havent played a scene before (it hasn't to be the very first scene though.). So no matter when you start to interact or decline, you will only get as far as your current interaction level will let you. (instead of the common on/off path system)
Hope that makes sense.
On top of that, we want to go back to tell a cuffing story arc aside adult content.
OH - and finally, it's a personal thing i told MrDots, that we should not write what MC thinks, as player IS MC, player plays MC, so we should leave it to the player to make their own thoughts.
Example: "I shouldn't spy on her - she will get mad, but on the other side, i barely can resist to spy on her"
-> imho this is a dumb writing, as the player should have such thoughts on his own while playing the game.
Same as there will be couple of "bad" decisions leading to "bad" content - decisions should be meaningful and not always work out fine somehow.

No promise that we'll manage to stick to all that, but be assured, we try our very best

You don't need a strong alpha. Those come off as cringe too.
Just not a loser like SL MC was. The MCs of DMD and Melody were fine.

but we need a strong alpha - story related - can't tell any more details for now because of obvious reason.
(strong alpha doesn't mean MACHO though - that will not be the case)
It's more like a person, who knows what he wants, being able to stand his point, and also able and capable to fight for what he wants.

Just don't make him an asshole. Devs always confuse confidence with being an asshole. They aren't the same and those devs make their MCs unsufferable because they don't know better.

don't worry about that - we always want our characters to be likable where people can identify themself with. If the MC is an unlikable person, the whole game gets worse.

Aside that, we restructured the way the game will be written.
For now, HearszAM (the main writer) did more or less all the scenes by himself. In the new game, there will be first talks about how to do a scene. Then there will be the actual writing, and after that, there will be some kind of "discussion" about whether to leave the scene like that, or do changes. This of course probably will lead to a longer gap between updates, but we hope it will also end into an improvement overall.
For example the whole story arc, including background of a certain side-girl is drawn by myself, while i kept close contact to dots. Now, as this arc is done, Hearsz will have to write the actual scene texts... and so on.
So there will be more than 1 person to do the scene, which also means to get more opinions right during the development, instead of doing a complete scene until it's finished. Once it's finished it's even harder to apply changes.
We hope we are able to keep this workflow - as it's new to us. It's the first game where actual all 4 of us working on the story, instead of one doing the writing, one doing the renders and one doing the gameplay scripting.

 

[Uthuriel]

SL is a prime example for this though...
That's why I'm saying this.

Hey bro
I think this is a good game
Probably my second favourite after Melody

I do wonder though how come all the lesbian content with Shortcake was put in the endings?
I feel like it would have been sexier story wise if it was spread more throughout the game. And not just the endings.

Just my opinion of course.

I wish he drowned... but not in pussy...

well if connie's dad or lucas had gotten their wish then mc would have needed to learn to swim with cement boots.
