She is in the game, she simply isnt implemented yet as a romanceable character.

:unsure:
I never noticed this in-game (weirdly), but that should be "hangar", not "hanger".

A hangar is where you park a plane.
A hanger is what you store clothes on or use for a hillbilly abortion.

I think the thing that some people are getting confused by comparing time between updates and this game compared to others is that the development of the game is currently not linear like most adult VN games that are just using the Renpy engine without any modifications.

Most VN just essentially plug and play their renders into Renpy and code in the conversations with a little bit of variables to handle choices.

This game has incorporated Live2D animation system into the game engine as well as creating custom wardrobe system, dating system, physics, Sandbox, etc. These systems take time and testing to get right far beyond what a normal VN does.

To me there was always a very good possibility of a bit of a content drought to come leading up to the 1.1 release. We are talking about doubling the amount of dateable characters in the game in a single update on top of finalizing all the various game systems. We could see one update come after 4-6 months only for the next to come in less then a month after that one if all the assets are in place already.

After 1.1 from my understanding most if not all of the game systems will be fleshed out the point the game becomes more plug and play and updates will become a bit more easier to judge timelines for.

08 Guardians of the Galaxy by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning was pretty cool, I suggest you check it.

Edit: the whole Annihilation sequence, both Annihilation and Annihilation: Conquest and their tie-ins, was awesome.

Only major difference is that they added some blonde in his hair. 2008 vs 2013

It's not only about looks, it's about attitude. Pre-MCU Quill was very cynical, post-MCU Quill is literally Chris Pratt, a dumb goofball.

Pretty much this. We're getting all the complicated stuff out of the way early.

Imagine if we put in live 2D at chapter 3 or real time physics in chapter 4.

That'd 100% break saves and require a Summer Time Saga level tech update.

I imagine dating Kitty Pryde would change your perspective on life.

I admire his patience and skill at tard wrangling. For free too. since its not like those kinds of people are gonna support the game. They play it(not even that sometimes) and then complain about something they got for free

I do it for free in general. If we were a net profit, I couldn't accept payment for insurance reasons.

Did you really need to use THAT as an example for what the underlying code looks like?

Dayum, i hadn't noticed what that was because i read that backwards bottom to top and i read it as disconnected lines for some reason. My brain is very smooth

Good thing i'm never seeing any of those in game, the way i play i get the "Bare Minimum" achievement by default. Only time i "cheated" was the first time i played and had Rogue instant transmission behind me the second i complimented Jean on doing good at class for the first time.

I was kinda considering seeing what happens if you do but i think i'm fine actually

Speaking of which, since no one else has done it yet I've decided to post all the Heartbreak Monologues Boots posted on Discord just in case your day has been a little too happy.

Rogue: Content warning for me deep diving into the psychological spiral that is Rogue's mind when you cheat on her.
The girl has rock bottom self esteem, you give her hope, make her feel loved, make her first time special. You made all of it perfect... and then you betrayed her. Was it something she did? Was she not good enough?

Of course not... Everything was too good to be true. Of course she wouldn't be enough. She's not strong like Laura or smart like Jean. She's just some country girl that Xavier took pity on.

How could someone as pathetic as her deserve the love of such an amazing guy? He can't possibly be at fault. Not when she apparently has nothing worth keeping you from straying...

I explicitly gave a content warning so don't get mad if you click on it.

Laura: Here's one for Laura.
She taught you how to defend yourself and you taught her many things in return. You taught her compassion. You taught her friendship. You taught her what it feels like to be loved. To watch movies, to laugh at jokes, to enjoy being around people.

Her routine used to be so simple. Sleep, eat, train, repeat. But you made it more complicated in the best of ways. Wake up, go to class, say hi to friends, go on a date with the man that taught so much...

Then you taught her heartbreak. Was this normal? Do normal people cheat on the people they say they love? It doesn't make sense. Did he lie? What else did he lie about? Did he lie about friendship? Did he lie about her value?

Are Rogue and Storm lying about caring about her too? It was too good to be true... it's always too good to be true.
Content warning for sad feels.

Kitty: Content warning for a sad Kitty Kat.
Things were going so awesome! She was like finally in college! Also despite being a small town it had everything she could ask for! A movie theater, a game shop, and a huge food court at the mall! She even got the opportunity to be super hero! Heck yeah! An opportunity that came with a tutor who was a total hottie!

... But wait no... He cheated, that's not cool. He was like... so supportive. Helping her with homework, training in the danger room, helping her pick out the perfect super suit. He even told her that he loved her... but he slept with someone else.

College is like meant to be adventure right? Finally being an adult. Making adult friends... Having adult problems... But like no this was meant to be awesome right? Being a super hero with a loving... boyfriend... right?

I'm working on Jean. She's harder than you'd expect.

Jean: Content warning for sad Jean.
Expectations. So many god damn expectations. She must always be the best, but she can't outshine her comrades. She must be the smartest, but she can't make the others feel dumb. She should be strong willed, but she shouldn't make the others feel inadequate. So many expectations, all of them demanding perfection...

Until you came along. You came into her life and shattered her own expectations. Someone who told her she didn't need to be the best at everything. Someone who told her that she could feel as much as she needs to feel. Someone that told her that she was already perfect the way she was... Someone who broke her heart.

Expectations... Like all setbacks, she is expected to conquer them and come out for the stronger for it... But the pain is so distracting that she doesn't know where to begin. She thought she was the mature one, but now all she wants to do is hide herself away and will the pain away.

THIS ONE WAS HARD

Bonus: Riven was delightful and dove into the code for material. Here's what happens when you try to visit a girl after cheating on them!
"You hear someone crying inside the room."
Null: *Knocks*
Jean: "*sniffle* Go away!"
Null: "Jean, it's me."
Jean: "I. . . don't want you to see me like this."

"You hear sounds of anger mixed with sobs on the other side of the door."
Laura: "*Grrr* Go away, Null."
Null: "..."
Laura: "*sniffle* I know you're there."
Null: "Sorry. . ."

"You hear faint sobbing from inside the room."
Null: *Knocks*
Rogue:"*sniffle* "Who is it?"
Null: "Rogue, it's me."
Rogue: "Null? Sorry, Ah want to be alone right now. . ."

"Rogue Approaches you after class"

Rogue: "Did Ah do somethin'?"

"Rogue lowers her gaze and turns to leave before you can respond"

Rogue: "Sorry. . . Ah'll leave ya alone. . ."


All of the above was Boots's words, I just formatted it a bit.

This is too much, dealing with Rogue's due to the update messing thing was too much, holy shit you can absolutely destroy Laura.
