Are there any *technical* explanations that I'm unaware of as to why many sandbox games have routes tied to others? For example, you need to progress with X LI to advance with Y LI. It's kind of jarring since sandbox games *supposedly* give you a sense of freedom.
Most content is not gated to other relationships in SA.

I know that there are certain things that need to happen - sequence wise - for some things to advance with Suzie.

If you are referring to keeping track of when certain women are available - there is a Very good 'help' button to use for this very purpose - the blue icon just to the right of the diary icon on the top of the image.

Originally, a couple more characters were tied to one another.

J..D got rid of it, to give you guys more freedom to choose which characters you might want to play and those you might want to ignore.

That's obviously not possible for Shannon, Sarah, and Suzie.
Those three are tied together.

Except for those three characters, all the other characters are standalone.

That is a very sweet Jane pic!

She is one of the LIs who has clearly had some challenges in her life so having a preview like this, one that conveys a sense of peace, quiet intimacy and connection, is nice!

Cheers!! :coffee:

Which version of joiplay does it work on? I tried it a lot, but I was stuck on the loading screen.

I am curious about what makes the game 24GB, is there, like, shitload of content? Or is this because of animations? Or is there some sort of bloat?

Just to make sure, not trying to complain/don't have problem with it, just curious because I think this is the largest game I've seen on here so far.

If you are interested in giving SA a try, I recommend going with the LQ option first.

It weighs in at ~8.5 GB so, depending on your download situation, it won't take nearly as long to download.

If you like it, patching future updates to the existing file works seamlessly (instructions are posted and if you have an issue, just ask here and someone will help you).

(I'm not sure about your level of expertise re: AVN files - I always make a copy of my current AVN file before I do my update so if I bork it, I can start over without having to redo the full LQ/HQ download.)

I do the HQ rev myself, but it is more of a personal preference as I doubt my monitor size/hardware gives me a notable increase in quality over the LQ version of SA.

It is also worth noting that this is not a harem AVN.

It is an AVN in the SA 'universe' where the MC can choose to date/build LI relationships with a variety of women, but aside from the M&S relationship, there is no romantic crossover and no consequence to dating different women.

Each LI relationship with the other women is a solo experience with a self-contained romantic story.

If you try SA and like the style, then you get to enjoy a TON of content!

Cheers!! :coffee:

There's definitely bloat. Actually, there is a lot of it. The game is like 80k images and a few million words of text. So there is a lot of content too. Although not many animations (maybe only a couple dozen?)

So to answer your question: It's both high content and bloated.

More like a couple hundred animations.
The problem is, if you're CTRL-skippin' through the game, you'll miss them.
The transitions between images and animations are seamless.

Edit: I got curious myself, so I did count them... as of 0.10.10, there are 495 videos in the game.
The longest video is 3:23 minutes @ 124 megabytes. The majority of videos are between 1 minute and 2 minutes long.

Great info. Yes, I thought there many videos. Which on is that longest one?

Just wanted to leave a quick message here.

I created a new account and the this entire thread has been turned over to me.
This should hopefully make updating the thread a little bit easier for us and the mods.
(Them having to download/re-upload 100GB every single month is a bit too much to ask.)

However, this account will purely be used to update the thread with new links.
BloodyFace will still take care of everything else on this thread.
