Started the new update, ended reading articles about the Naked Mole Rat for half a day. Fascinating the things one can learn from these games. Playing this should be mandatory for any school curriculum... erm, yeah, the world is changing, i feel it in my groin area

Maybe actually learn what you are talking about before you speak. American football started out more like soccer, not rugby, it evolved into a game more similar to rugby. As for us Americans calling football/futbol "soccer", if you are from the UK, you shouldn't talk, you were the ones that coined the term soccer, after "Association football", we just kept using the name(after you bowed to peer pressure), since we already had "our" football. Is it wrong for some countries to call it futbol, instead of football? Also, if you think our game is "rugby for wussies", try playing it for just one game. If you survive playing against a low level college team, injury free, then you may call it what you wish. I do like the "hand-egg" moniker, even if it is meant as an insult.

Ty for grabbing the bait "(hand-egg / rugby for wussies)" with 2 hands. Football and futbol are just different languages both mean using your feet to move a ball, so no calling it futbol while speaking Spanish is never wrong. Using a different language for 1 word in a sentence at worst would be a bit odd. If american football started as a new form of football than that is the way it is. For people outside the US (yes we exist) just looking at the sports side by side, both have an egg shaped leather ball and 2 teams bumping into each other trying to get the ball to the other side, granted 1 off the sports has a mouth guard as protection and occasionally headgear while the other dresses their players up in all the protective gear they could think off making them look twice the size they actually are. But if you enjoy either of them and can use it to get your education or make money all the best to you. I was just surprised why the consistency regarding headmaster/professor and football/soccer wasn’t there.

O, if you must know, I am from the Netherlands and I don’t think there is an american football club here so I can’t try that but a have played a lot of hockey (field hockey) and handball. My current first choice is now MMA as that would have more uses in day to day life compared to other sports.

I feel you. Been through this myself a few yrs ago when release schedule started to lean towards an update per half an year.
Still my favorite game though as there's nothing even remotely comparable to it yet. So im promptly checking back here every year when spring springs

I like to think of it like this...

Soccer=75% endurance, 25% toughness

American football=25% endurance, 75% toughness

Rugby=50% endurance, 50% toughness

To add your favorite, MMA=20% endurance, 80% toughness

One of my college team's(American football) former players became a MMA fighter. He said MMA was easier to recover from but required more patience, finding an opening. I left out intelligence from those numbers above, just giving the physical needs percentages.

As for my experiences, I played American football in junior high(think age 13-14) until I got all three ligaments torn in my left knee, when one opponent hit me above the knee, while another hit me below the knee. I started running cross country and distance running(5K and 10K races) to rehab the knee. Played on the tennis team and ran for the track team in college(university).

I absolutely loved this game initially. But to be honest having to wait for so long for the last update and this one as well. I feel like we get very little for such a long wait. I was a (10$) patreon between the last two updates and stopped my subscription right after. just payed for the last update (cause that is what good pirates do for work they like). But I feel quite dissapointed.

Now I have no clue how much work went into the game or how much background work is done to bring us this bit of story. but I am no longer compelled to drop my money into his Patreon nor even trying the next couple of updates. (for the next couple of years) I know he was sick before this update. But what was his excuse between the last two updates.

for people going all reeeee now and equipping their keyboardwarior armor, Just breath in and breath out. I am just sharing my thoughts and am curious about what others think.

The game itself is slow, has a lot of character and develops a few a bit each update. If you add they have a highly profitable patreon page the game is even slower. When they get an economic sustain through patreon they dont want that they end, so they will delay as much as possible, the only way to hurry them up is making that patrons number go drastically down. Its just not this author its 99% of them who reach that level. This patreon updating system is the problem instead of releasing a finished game, i wonder how many creators would make games that way.

At this point the best you can do is what you are going to do, do not support it and wait years for some actual new content where you are able to play mora than 1 hour. This doesnt applies for summertime which is more than a year in limbo.

Do not care about those keyboard warriors, there is people blind with the game (i dont know why) and they will take your comment as a personal offense, absurd. I like to read someone that can criticize the game. because the game is not perfect and WILL make things wrong.

That is still a crash, it just didnt give you a traceback...which is arguably worse since you have one less way of finding the root cause :HideThePain:

I cought a few exceptions. Usually I can just force-ignore and move on, but it skips a few lines, and at worst the entire event.
(Note that I updated from 13.0 beta to 14.0 beta)
1) During the week-long event, several lines in the board-meetings were skipped, with the resulting meeting making little sense. (This happaned multiple times.)
2) After the event, spying on Rachel in her room. It just completely skips the scene. (It works fine if I load a save before the event, it only breaks after. Spying on other girls works fine.)
3) Friday afternoon, Lucy hallway inspection. Relatively minor, it just skips the chat/introduction, the rest of the scene works fine. (Happens after the big event, but it there even when I reload an old save.)
There are probably more...

you realize that there are games that have proper script and including models too? Also, those personalities that you listed is what you describe as cardboard characters in any proper work...

in the first place, if you can describe the character with single trait that's the definition of creative poverty...it is clear to me now, that there are some cognitive problems within the fanbase or you people simply can't tell good shit from the bad shit.

Well, this as well, is the picture of the era we live in I guess...it is already known that people are only getting dumber and when you are dumb you'd be happy with 1 dimensional character as opposed to a person who has over 130 IQ that would only be happy with 3 dimensional character...Sort of like all those isekai cardboard stories that got popular these days, there are peope aware they are all copy pasted nonsense but there are more, millions of people, who keep reading them like robots for cheap satisfaction...analog

What are you going on about IQ and shit for? This isn't meant to be some high brow, intellectually stimulating read. It's a niche porn game.

The characters aren't particularly deep, but they are heaps of fun. I listed their dominant features, but there's more to each girl for sure. The writing and scenarios are extremely satisfying, and the humor is highly enjoyable.

I personally don't know of any other story on this site within this niche genre that nails it the way this game does.

You mention there are games with proper scripts and models here (I assume you're talking DAZ models or the like), but are you talking about games in the particularly niche that the Headmaster falls into? I'd love to know what they are, because I haven't come across anything anywhere near as satisfying.

CTD on new version, replicable by starting a new game on day 2, teaching until the first Rachel punishment, as soon as you have Rachel bend over the knee the CTD happens, no crash report or error generated
