I am stuck with Rachel. It says Teach class and make sure she stays awake, don't know how to do that. I can also punish her but I can't fill up the pain and pleasure meter enough with the tools I have.

There's a walkthrough.

Is it possible for some kind soul out there to post the most recent patreon developer update here please?

Fucking transparent underwear... Thanks for sending the results though.

Yup, switchman fell asleep a year ago and the train is careening down the wrong track...you know the old disused line that ends at the cliff.

Not to mix metaphors too much but I do wish dev would stick to his/her knitting and focus on the things that made the game successful. Mole rats, sillier and sillier outfits--the last year has been a downgrade on the previous high standards. Feels like it is becoming a dress up game. (Just my own opinion, ofc, and worth everything you paid for it.)

This is why leaving things up to the audience is not always the best plan. Too many people just want to 'skip to the end', as it were, and don't care how they get there.

 

[telgalad]

I guess we are part of the minority... transparent underwear though? Really? I think 3 and 5 should have been what fits the story and the creators design more than player opinion...

That being said, im pretty happy with the game and the creators quality.

 

[LucT]

Work at cafeteria only with tiny apron make sense if it's a punishment, I don't remember, who gets punished works in the cafeteria?

I agree. I'd like to keep up the illusion of it being somehow reasonable at least. That gets harder and harder the more you turn up the outlandishness to 11. For that very reason I wasn't entirely happy with the last update. It felt like everything went from 0 to 11 in a single episode. Well, maybe not from 0, but certainly from 3 to 11.

I hope the devs pay attention to this and dial it back a bit. I'd rather have a game that has slow progression, but makes sense than having, well, basically just a fap fest.

I don't get the point of transparent underwear, either go with current underwear or none, transparent makes no sense.

3 to 11 sums it up quite nicely. And unfortunately I am not the audience in as far as supporting the game goes, so I don't have a right to complain. But indeed I prefer development towards a goal to just the goal itself - it should be reached, but it should be steps, not jumps. And I like having the "pretense of normality" in kink driven games. I like some incest, but incest where everybody is happy with it is boring because it takes out the thrill of it. Similarily I prefer my dom/sub play to be somewhat private, not public walking naked on a leash.

And similarily here, I would like the rules to slowly losen up (or get tighter - depending on which side you're looking from) but within the realm of inching forward step by step against the danger of being seen (obviously completely unjustified) as just some pervert looking for tits and - later - pussy.

So if this comes as an end goal, or after some work of convincing the other teachers (maths teacher would be on board though I guess ...) and overcoming at least some meaningful resistance, it could work. Would not be ideal for me but could work. If it were just to drop it might seriously harm my enjoyment.

But again, I am but one, and not paying at that, and I think I remember a recent post about how all the school stuff gets in the way of tits, so tastes differ. But yeah, I am a bit concerned - though I won't have the hubris I see in many threads of "I don't like that so this game will never find customers and is dooooooooomed", I am concerned for my own sake.

I think this is insightful. I think we were enjoying a slow corruption game tethered in some loose way to normalcy, rather than an exhibition game with an rapid evolution through ever sillier outfits. I hope the dev does not lose the story to mere pixels.

I worry that the people who voted for "transparent underwear" were just trolling and/or being silly - jokingly voting for the dumbest possible answer, and not the one they really wanted to see going forward. But I'm okay with all the other results, so can't explain why that's the only one with a "wrong" answer (according to me! lol)

 

[Knight_of_the_lance]

One thing I find intriguing about the poll is that it does not talk about intermediate steps. Maybe it is explained in the Mycock manor minigame? I haven't played it. Naked tiny apron with high heels sounds more like an end goal rather than a next step. Altos can very well make a step or more between the current cafeteria dress code and the one voted by patrons. Can someone light my lantern and tell me if the poll was for the immediate next step or for sometime in the future?

It doesn't mention any as having intermediate steps though given the way some of the votes went I think from a storytelling point of view some interim steps will be necessary so that progression seems 'natural' for want of a better word. However that all depends on how long the developer envisions the main story being I guess, as to how much time, in story, is left before the endgame.

snip for brivety.

Thanks for the answer.

Transparent underwear could also be made of cheap as fuck white fabric that become way too thin after the first wash. The headmaster wanting to be a good man and solve the underwear shortage, understanding the young women's plea but being stingy on money while doing it.

my assumption on the transparent underwear thing is going to be a solution to a couple problems at once in a way that follows the letter of the law but 100% breaks the spirit of it.

There is a contraband problem that the staff is trying to solve. This has lead to the MC being able to remove underwear in search of it. This is leading to complaints about having to take them off for inspection. There has been a shortage of regulation underwear that is causing issues.

The MC can come up with this obvious solution to the problem (as suggested to him by Mycock, who magnanimously provides them free of charge).

This solves all of the above issues in a way that is both technically resolving what they’re complaining about and actually making it worse for them. It’s a real monkey paw solution to me.

my real complaint is the kitchen attire, it could have been worse (I hate the string bikinis), but I thought the bra plus smaller apron seemed like something that made sense in the school progression.

Plus imagine the Health and Safety nightmare with the chances of hot food/liquids splattering and sizzling around all that bare flesh.

All true, but if I were writing it I would have someone point this out and counter with something to the effect of “exactly, this will use some pain to teach them to be careful and detailed in their work and that any burns are proof of substandard work. If this does happen, to make sure that girls who suffer pain are reinforced with pleasure afterward so they can appropriately correct the behavior.”
