all of that crap ai animations are unnecesary imagine having 2x more content or in half the time because the ai animations got skipped what was wrong with the old format with no animations? it was great.....
difference is Inside Jennifer lets you beat the antagonists over the head with a heavy object
whereas here it sounds like they're protected by plot armor.
AI Animations nothing but a waste of time.

This was such a pathetic update and short the lues like always you need to be refunding your loyal supporters this update was worth no more that $2.99. i Hope that if your updates
Are as bad as the last 4 updates it gets leaked gorst day because your efforts deserve it. No sympathy because all you do is cry if someone days anything because of laziness or just a developer that is real fraud and uses lies just to push an extra few months. This game is w0rth $10 at most for the whole thing. Finish a game charge $50. Part or full time developer you need to pit a quality product in an efficient manner. Dont start anything you can keep up with or finish on time.. if its on partime here and you have a full-time job. Since you need to learn organization and how to prioritize extra tome from your full time.

Bobby can charge whatever he wants. It's standard price for a lot of avns. And he isn't lazy he works as hard as he can to make great content for us.
6 months for this and most important of all AI ...... Was good as long as it lasted but now its time to move to another VN. (Especially if you play on a 'good path' this update is a nail to the coffin.)

Ah, another dev goes the AI route. While I am not against using machine models to help with the workload, I can't help but feel that the unique identity that the traditional animation method gives to a scene goes missing when AI takes over that task. It's like there is something uncannily similar about every game that uses AI. The expressions, the poses, the gestures- it all feels.. familiar? Take kissing as an example. Every AI animation has the subjects make a duck face before the lips connect. They just seem to lack any other variation entirely. Still, it's bobbyboy's rodeo and if he likes this direction, power to him.
AI aside, it was still a fairly good update. Plenty of content and pretty hot too. I do agree however that choice system no longer seems to be obeying your historical picks. Like for example, on the loyal path, Kathryn clearly refuses Luke's push to fuck a stranger in the beach shack, and yet on her own accord is willing to sit on Franklin's cock and screws Pat's brains out? Why? What changed? Did I miss something?
Even in Luke's case, it is all fine and dandy if you encourage Kath to suck hobo's dick or giving handjobs in subway. As long as the couple was having fun together in any setting, it was not an issue. But encouraging her to suck dick at beach suddenly now ends in Luke having a nightmare and remarking that he has made a string of bad decisions? Eh? Just last patch all was good with Luke dreaming of a happy Kathryn in front of a TV, and now one string of blowjobs later, the player has crossed the line? I thought cheating was crossing it :S
I dunno, guess I'm being nitpicky at this point. But I was under the impression that there were 3 distinct paths. Loyal, HotWifing and Cheating with loyal focusing on the couple resisting the effects of corruption, Hotwifing/Swinging being all about adaptation without crossing lines behind Luke or Kath's back and cheating being the ultimate disaster "fuck everything that moves" route. Yet, I'm no longer sure if that is the case and if so, where does my play-through actually stands. No stats I can monitor either, except for hoping for the best down the line =/

No disrespect to the game or dev but who keeps talking all these devs into using AI animations? It just ruins the immersion immediately its so jarring. Seems like everyones taking the easy way out lately with this and ruining their product.

I'd say it was a good update if you are a NTR fan but for people like me that prefer NTS and only play NTR content just to see more Kathryn it was only okay or disappointing depending on the person ( I fall under the okay column) , tho AI haters gonna hate it. I didn't mind the AI since from what I could tell it wasn't used in sex scenes just stuff like teasing and dancing etc.
Ok, I love this game! This update was really cool.
EXCEPT for Nathan's weird/creepy/uncanny smile... Man it nearly broke my play!
But for the rest, that was amazing.Thanks!

You have to go back a couple of quotes, but I think that comment was relating to Boundaries of Morality, which they were discussing not being allowed on Steam because it looked too realistic. That one has had AI from the start, apparently.
For this game, I haven't played all my paths yet, but I did my "mild corruption" one last night, where Kathryn only goes so far, or only with certain people, and I agree that it's weird you get the Pat cheating set-up/option even on the route where Luke goes dancing with them. She should/would 100% have left with Luke there.
I'll update my thoughts after I complete my remaining saves, but one thing I'll question at the moment, since I'm back there in my second run: When Nate comes over, they are all ready waiting. He arrives, and Kathryn says she's going to "put on that choker and freshen up a bit" - why? They've already got ready, why does she need to do this at all, but especially just when the doorbell goes (other than the obvious ploy to get her out of the way so we can have the Luke/Nate "chat")? However, when she returns... why is it a Queen of Spades choker?
Is this a case of the dev using an asset without knowing the meaning behind it, as I've seen in a game previously with this symbol? Or is it deliberate? If you take out the excuse to get Kathryn out of the way for Luke and Nate to talk, it looks like specific attention was being brought to this choker. It could have been "I'm just going to freshen up quickly while you get the door" but it was specifically "I'm going to put on that choker and freshen up a bit" like it's a specific choker that they'd at least discussed earlier (not "put on a choker" etc.). I thought this was a bit weird. Maybe understandable if Kathryn (with Luke) has been doing lots of stuff with BBCs up to this point, but that's not even the case here...

The scene currently has two variants: If Luke and Kathryn have both been fucking around, they'll have a blazing row and Luke will storm off in a huff. If only one or neither of them has strayed to a significant extent, Luke will have an argument with his dad and still storm off in a huff.
So slightly different set-ups depending on their relationship, but same, not great outcome.
The conversation is a bit different, but nothing beyond that for now.
Well spotted. I noted that the line was odd, but had stopped paying attention to the visuals by this point and didn't notice what the choker actually looked like. That seems like ... a choice, and as you say, the dialogue specifically draws attention to it.

The writing is I believe the best in the genre, keeps you glued to the screen and doesn't just serve as a lead up to the sex scenes rather the whole plot development. However, the immense delays with very little to the extent of plot development and relatively few sex scenes is kind of disappointing to me, meaning to say that you can almost predict with 90% accuracy what happens in Chapter 8 if you played Chapter 5 which is not always a good thing but rarely there are times where these extended intervals do contribute positively to the overall experience. About AI, only some of the animations were unwelcome, most of the AI animations added to the experience but I can live without it tbh as there are some scenes where the AI totally mucks up the works. Overall, meh update, took too long, did too little, AI is an indicator of decline of a AVN but hope Bobby pulls out of this unscathed and recovers.
