Unity Taffy Tales [S5 v1.07.3c] [UberPie]

[Count Morado]

I wonder if the NTR writer got fired and that's why there is no NTR next update?

The new content announced for the coming update was supposed to be in the main route for this version already out (Danny, Gerda, and I bet the introduction of Dr. Beatrix in the main route). That's why I think there's no netorare in the next update - the next update isn't really a new update, it's just the missing content from this one. Kind of like how v0.85.1 was really just all the fixes for v0.82.4, except the fixes this time are content.

I saw that too, but considering that this was this guys debute, and the response was so negative, it starts to reason his role in the development in this game might be called into question. Just based on my own work experience anyway. I wonder how much responsibility Uber takes for that? At very least they should be reviewing whether they want to continue that path or retcon it.

your choice dude, do you want to play the whole game or just the update?

I have a feeling I am going to need to add my response to my FAQ the next time I post it. This seems like an obvious answer, but it is getting asked quite a bit:

• To start from Day 1 or the content from the previous update: download and play v0.89.8 (Season 1-4) and then,
• To start at new content (Day 144): download and play v0.95.7 (Season 5)

I've seen netorare fans both complain and fawn over the content. It's the urination fetish in the netorare route and the scat fetish in the main route that seems to get the consistent heat for the respective route fans (at least what I am reading here and in discord) outside of the usual sour grapes and the missing announced content. I also think the overall content sucked in both routes and no one is calling for lostraven to be fired for the main route.

Uberpie should be taking responsibility for any complaints, legitimate or not, that's his role as lead developer - his is the final word on including content. Even lostraven has stated he's nothing but a hired gun, tries to influence but in the end it's Uberpie's decision and he writes the content he's asked to write. I am 99.44% sure the scat and urination fetishes are Uberpie's ideas. I am similarly sure for many of the decisions for this update. Whether or not Uberpie takes responsibility is a whole other issue.

I think it will eventually be retconned, just like the main route was retconned back in v0.82.4. They should have started the netorare route at the beginning and not on Day 144 and that had to be an Uberpie decision. They had several points of entry already scripted in the early part of the game to branch off from. He chose to do this the hard way instead of simply building off what they already had. Until they may retcon, they will need to patch the beginning points to the new content in this update as they roll out the downloadable Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4 with the split of main route and netorare route included. They will eventually find they wrote themselves into a corner and that's when the retcon discussion will probably occur.

1. I never said anyone was calling for a firing and
2. LostRaven has the advantage of time served, tried and tested.
3. "should take responsibly" is not equal to "does take responsibility".

(I know nothing about Ubers ethics except his willingness to cave to whiners)

Even if the New Guy doesn't get outright blamed, there is always the old "well sorry but it didn't work out with you, we have decided to explore different directions with different people" line.

I don't think there is a problem starting the NTR route this late, there are a lot of ways NTR could be reasonably triggered, Reds decisions could all easily backfire, Piss off the Principle and he could suddenly decide to send all the student LI's to detention with Darnell and Roger. Mary & Clara could be called in for some private counseling. Sara is still a junky and vulnerable to anyone with access to the drugs she craves.
And that's before you consider he is up against an organised Criminal enterprise, these powerful figures standing in the shadows could easily kidnap and drug anyone they like, they are the ones with the Hypno drugs & the Bimbo Drugs and god knows what other shit.

Strictly speaking Red should never have stood a chance, why they felt the need to neuter him boggles my mind.

I concur.

Uberpie always seemed to have a penchant for the more extreme, which sometimes had to be toned down in later rewrites. Plus it's highly unlikely that anyone but the main guy would even have tried to drop in something so controversial out of the blue.
Chances are the offending scenes will just be made skippable, as that's the least work, which apparently is the main priority now.

I'm really fucking annoyed that all the pussy hair has been removed from this game. It was better the way it started out. Too many 11-year olds with too much time spent watching Barbie plastic porn whining I guess. Fuck.

Someone has a full save of the latest version? .. i already ended the content but it seems that i missed a scene of the main route.

I recommend reading #4 in the 72nd posting of my FAQ on the previous page: #29,747, as well as #1.

Also, the one scene you are missing is because you chose between ass and pussy when you played it. Replay the scene from the gallery and choose the other. Done, full gallery. Easily figured out if a person takes 10 seconds to see where the missing scene is and then why.

If you played the whole v0.89.8 (Season 1-4) - she wasn't introduced yet.
If you played the whole netorare (ntr) route in v0.95.7 (Season 5) - you went to her office.
If you played the whole main route in v0.95.7 (Season 5) - she isn't in that route, currently.

Do it again, the Hints don't hang around when you've done enough.

How many times

 

[Count Morado]

How many times

The poster quests are two rounds (photos, edit, print, hang) - you are to hang them in the school hallway within the allotted time limit each time. If you don't - I believe you have to repeat it until you do. If you find you have hanged the posters both rounds within the time limits and still are looping - you should load a save prior to getting the first photo quest or start over at the beginning of the update.

 

[Cybergod360]

Beatrix is really getting on my nerves, I hope red destroyes her in the main route.

Don't know which version you are playing - but yes, the game at its basic component is a point-and-click VN and there is a lot of dialogue. However, if you skip the dialogue, many times you will miss what you need to do to complete tasks and then you'll be really ticked that you can't figure things out.

On reflection I do find what Uberpie decides to cave to really strange. He caves to a few loud people who whine and say they don't want NTR. Not prepared to cave to, what I suspect are, the vast majority who want him to stop being so lazy and draw the artwork instead of relying on AI. I wonder how many people need to stop backing him before he decides to start doing the artwork again.

Hi Count, thanks for your efforts.
But I don't see any link for v0.95.7b. My version is fubar and I'm stuck in a deathloop with the posters in school mission.
So i'm desperate for a fix version, but can't find one anywhere.

Note: The below links are valid if you are looking for v0.95.7b, the bugfix for v0.95.7a - the content and game play is the same

v0.95.7a speed run gameplay playthrough videos - Main Route and Netorare (NTR) Route.

Spoiler: links and info

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

All the full-size sprites (536 images - both routes, not sorted/spoilered) in v0.95.7a (359.68 MB) - There are a few images that weren't included in this update (from old updates, etc).

All the animations (14 m4v videos - both routes, not sorted/spoilered) in v0.95.7a (66.53 MB).

All the audio files (74 mp3s, converted from wavs) in v0.95.7a (185.56 MB) - these could be all the audio files from all the versions of Taffy Tales to date.

What did I miss in your post?
Any guidance is much appreciated.
Ciao
