In regards to Darwin, you can always pull the World War Hulk thing of Darwin's powers deciding that the best course of action would be to not be in the vicinity of that person, so basically we never meet Darwin because they have to be on a proverbial restraining order from each other.

Or we could go multiverse on it and say on this Earth, Null was created to fill a void created by the lack of Darwin, and like all of Null's powers, it's not an exact match.

Is humhum still on the phone? I disabled it as soon as it was and option. I think the last time I saw it, Xavier was complaining about his ass.
Darwin's only had one appearance in the game, basically as a joke.
Doesn't mean he may not show up in the future though.

To expand on this a little, we have full backstories leading up to the immediate start of the game before the main character shows up for each of the girls. No idea if/when it'll get in the game, but trust that there's a lot more going on with the cast than may first appear.

Stable backstories for characters in the Marvel universe? Bold choice.
The intimacy mechanics in this are weird. I keep getting in a situation where the girl is begging me not to stop because she's so close but doesn't want me to touch her in any way that would actually get her off instead of running into the arousal cap on foreplay actions. Maybe this goes away if I get to the point of girlfriending them?
Speaking of which, Jean asked me to date her and my only options are "Tell her you're interested in multiple partners" and "Don't say anything" which is uh... interesting? She gave me permission to talk already, so why can't I just say yes?

Dammit, are you certain about this? I progressed the story because it made me feel like I had to, and I thought the fact that those objectives still showed up meant they were still possible. The game should really make it clear if progressing the main story cuts off any event.

The writers did a great job of providing evidence of those backstories without being too specific nor overt about it.

I think this occurred as a result of the devs trying to reduce what some complained about "grind" which was not a major problem, and story, which is supposed to occur over time. The optional events do not have to be completed, but I usually have several incomplete ones after obtaining more than enough trust and love to progress relationships. I usually hit the "postpone progress" button for a couple of weeks to mop up anything left over before moving to the next season.
Regarding orgasms early in the relationship, clothes are reducing sensation and they won't get naked just like that, so it is basically a make-out session with heavy petting. If you continue petting the same parts for too long, desensitization sets in and they kind of go numb. This is actually normal in real human beings. This is complicated by each person having their own wants and needs concerning where they are touched and for how long. With Rogue on 250/250 love and trust on the second date and Rogue not wanting to take off her underwear or bra, it is still possible to get her to orgasm. Just as in a real situation, you go for the warm-up first with kissing and touching peripheral parts (thighs low, thighs high, buttocks, breasts, kissing). Once she is warmed-up and "horny" switch over to the main course (crotch) and stop anything that looks like it is slowing down or going negative (watch the arousal meter for any slowing down or reversals). It takes a while with clothes still on, but keep at it and eventually you will see small gains (each round of touching does not always result in the bar raising consistently) until she orgasms. It gets much easier after 500/500 love/trust caps.
Urgh, okay, thanks. I still think this could be signaled more explicitly by the game. Complaints about tedium aren't going to be helped by people having to redo sections of the game.
Yeah I know it happens in reality - though not quite that fast - and I have managed to thread the needle twice so far and bring a girl to orgasm. I just consider it less than ideal that the upshot of the mechanics here doesn't necessarily gel with the dialogue... or with the fact that I can see the girl rubbing herself - like, what, does she not know how to finish herself off either? Why be jilling off if she's so desensitized and uncomfortable?
Just wanted to thank the development team for all your hard work so far. I'm really enjoying the direction this game is going and hope the team stays committed to realizing their creative vision because I think it's fun to have something that's a bit more narrative-driven in this universe. The thoughtfulness and care shows IMO, the art is fantastic, and I appreciate the distinct personalities of the heroines and I'm looking forward to where the writing goes.
I'll talk to the dev team about this. Kinda a glaring flaw.
We're always looking to improve the experience.
I've been suggesting a "You have reached the end of current content pop-up." I'm gonna see if I can get y'all a reminder of when a quest needs to be done and maybe a "failed quest" label so you don't spend hours trying to work on an unfinished quest.
There is supposed to be dialogue for if you do leave a quest unfinished but that's obviously not in the game yet.

I don't recall seeing a pop-up, but I also don't always completie the optional quests, so it would make sense that as far as the program is concerned, the quests locked out by changing seasons mean I haven't reached the end of content.
How kinky is the game planned to get? There is already butt plugs, remote vibes, and light choking. Are there plans for other things like hair pulling, anal beads, and handcuffs?
And I know that gay content isn't really a priority. But since threesome content is being worked on (if I remember seeing that correctly) what about MMF threesome?
Of course Null would have to completely block rogue's power like RLE or it would be a bad time for the other guy...

Nice, thanks. It also seems like you retroactively add events to seasons, so that may be an argument in favor of not closing them off after that season when it's reasonable not to do so.
Another thing is that I spent a while fruitlessly attending class because I had no indication I'd hit the cap - the game tells you it's 5 levels per chapter but I thought chapter meant season - and I kept getting messages saying I'd earned XP - and the status screen has no XP numbers to make the stagnancy explicit - and the XP bar still has white on it when you hit the cap, so I thought I just needed to grind a lot more for each subsequent level.
