Hmm, reading the forum gives me the impression that it's a kn and not a vn; it seems that everything is forced.
You have to have sex against the player's will before you can dump the woman.
And then taking a driving lesson in a Porsche, that's the dumbest thing you can do. I once had a friend who bought a Porsche right after he got his driver's license and promptly crashed it into a tree because he didn't know that you only have to lightly press the pedal and the car takes off like a rocket.

You must be fun at parties. First, you complain about a “forced” sex scene (wasn’t forced if you understood the context, but that seems to escape you) and then proceeded to assure yourself through a tireless rant about story structuring.

Then, you complain about the car used to onboard Mira. They’re in a parking lot dude. Not a main road or the highway. A parking lot. And it would have made no sense to use Nova’s because the sole purpose was to pick up the MC’s car. You know since they had been separated for a bit.

Game is off to a solid start. I agree the hair has me befuddled. The flashback scene shows him with a completely different hair texture. Now dude looks like he’s auditioning for 8 Mile 2.

solid start? mate this has been crawling for 2 years with no lewd content. The only thing solid here is that abandon tag coming within the next year.

 

[chiefkilic]

You don't need to announce that you are NOT playing the game. It's fine with us without knowing!
You enjoy not playing it, we enjoy playing it, everyone is happy this way!

I didn't write that. I think I'll test it, but not for a few years until there's more content and hopefully some changes have been made. (Translated with Google)

It seems the only choice so far is which sister you wanna pursue. Fair enough, although to be honest the milfy aunt is hotter than the 2 girls. I could have done without the hookupwith the stranger, but I suspect she plays some role in the future and isn't just some random whore chatting up men at the bar. And I also suspect the future is fairly far away.

 

[DasImp]

I'm confused. I went back through the thread but I am not sure I follow. Do we have to buy it on Steam to get Part 1? The version I downloaded was only part 2 and I do not see another link for part 1.

Same here... saves wont load and nobody is talking about this... What the heck is going on??

That the MC agreed to the scene doesn't mean it isn't forced onto the player, who otherwise got several choices about how they interact with characters.

Then, you complain about the car used to onboard Mira. They’re in a parking lot dude. Not a main road or the highway. A parking lot. And it would have made no sense to use Nova’s because the sole purpose was to pick up the MC’s car. You know since they had been separated for a bit.

You know what parking lots have a lot of? Obstacles and parked cars, even at night and on weekends.
You can't be seriously telling me that putting a novice driver in a car tuned for street racing is a good idea. These cars aren't made for the 5 mph introduction, letting you explain the art of driving during a hands-on experience.
Seriously, go to a track and rent a car. Try to roll it to practice turns like a new driver would. Your first issue will be to make it move. Releasing the very heavy clutch without giving a big blip of throttle stalls it or launches you. Once you learned how to do that while keeping the car's speed low, you're now lurching because you have to ride the throttle, or the car's speed creeps way too fast the moment the clutch or torque converter engages.

Nobody, literally nobody, puts an 18-year-old with a learner’s permit into a 400-700 hp, mid-life-crisis, rear-engine widowmaker as their first car.

You say that the plan was to fetch the MC's car... Sure. But how does that make this a good idea? There aren't any abandoned roads or parking lots in a 5 minute radius of the garage where they could've taken Nova's to? What's stopping them from making a small detour and then leaving in the Porsche after the lesson?

It looks like a great VN but has too few choices to be interesting.

You’re overthinking this way too much man. Like holy crap. It’s a scene in an AVN…not F1 school. Even if the dev ran with your idea of using Nova’s car with Mira, the MC would still have to get it back home would he not? So, your idea to derail the plot for a minuscule scene makes ZERO sense. The logical thing to do was what the MC did. Pick up his car, have Nova’s towed back home, and go on about his day.

You also realize that he could have told Mira no on coming along and then your whole point is even more irrelevant.

Also, the gearbox in his car was not manual if you had noticed. Got to keep those eyes peeled and pay attention to detail.

In a car with an automatic transmission, once you shift into D, you can simply release the brake and the car will start moving on idle, slowly and smoothly, around 10-15 km/h or even less.
On top of that, the parking area itself is huge, and even if some unexpected situation occurs, an experienced driver can shift into P within a couple of seconds and bring the car to a full stop.

Am I overthinking it, or did the writer not think things through enough? If the dev can't get this right, in a game where racing will likely play a large role, what else will he get wrong? If you're happy just consuming without a critical thought, that's fine. It doesn't mean everyone has to.

of using Nova’s car with Mira, the MC would still have to get it back home would he not?

Yeah, the same way he does now... He gets it towed after the lesson.

So, your idea to derail the plot for a minuscule scene makes ZERO sense. The logical thing to do was what the MC did. Pick up his car, have Nova’s towed back home, and go on about his day.

The writer literally controls everything. If he decides there's a parking lot behind the garage, then there's a parking lot behind the garage.
You call it the logical thing to do while ignoring all the reasons for why it isn't. This car is his baby, the car he crashed and put a girl in the hospital with. A crash that still haunts his dreams... But sure, let's give Mira driving lessons in it.

What I'm advocating for isn't "derailing the plot," but consistency and believability. I barely know a thing about cars, but I know that this was a bad idea. What does this scene say about the MC? Am I to believe he really is that dumb and careless?
Is the scene of Mira driving the Porsche cool? It is. But is it smart or realistic? Sequences of rule-of-cool scenes don't make a story.

Also, the gearbox in his car was not manual if you had noticed. Got to keep those eyes peeled and pay attention to detail.

You think that makes much of a difference? Instead of the clutch, Mira would've needed to put her left foot on the brake pedal. The slightest touch of the accelerator would launch the car forward to 20 mph.

PDK does not creep at idle.

You don’t know much about cars but literally your last post said this:

“Seriously, go to a track and rent a car. Try to roll it to practice turns like a new driver would. Your first issue will be to make it move. Releasing the very heavy clutch without giving a big blip of throttle stalls it or launches you. Once you learned how to do that while keeping the car's speed low, you're now lurching because you have to ride the throttle, or the car's speed creeps way too fast the moment the clutch or torque converter engages.”

And also please don’t hide behind “If you're happy just consuming without a critical thought, that's fine. It doesn't mean everyone has to.” when your critical thinking skills are average at best given your perspectives.

Lastly, you do not speak for everyone else so get off your damn high horse boyo.

 

[Quetzzz]

And also please don’t hide behind “If you're happy just consuming without a critical thought, that's fine. It doesn't mean everyone has to.” when your critical thinking skills are average at best given your perspectives.

You're funny. At least I'm providing arguments and reasoning, whereas your replies come down to "no, u".
Why not argue the points?

Lastly, you do not speak for everyone else so get off your damn high horse boyo.

You do know what "I think" and "in my opinion" mean, right? I use these words often enough in my posts.
If you've actually read my other posts, you'll see that I'll happily give credit where it's due. And what do you think is more helpful to a dev? A sycophantic following or critical pushback that, even if wrong, helps the dev sharpen the script?

Lastly, I paid full price for this game; if that doesn't warrant me having an opinion of what I played, then I don't know what does.

Also:

In a car with an automatic transmission, once you shift into D, you can simply release the brake and the car will start moving on idle, slowly and smoothly, around 10-15 km/h or even less.

    mc "Great. First off, you’ve got two pedals under your feet. Left is brake, right is gas."
    mc "There, the lever on ‘P’. That’s park."
    mr "Got it. Sounds simple."
    mc "Because it is. Now, to get moving, press the brake first."
    mc "Then shift the lever to ‘D’. That’s Drive."
    mr "Done."
    mc "And finally, ease off the brake."
    mc "Then gently press the gas."

This makes all of this an easy fix. Just tell Mira to stay off the gas and let the car creep so she can get a feel for it. It's a customized car, so the PDK can be whatever the script demands, as long as it fits with street racing tuning.

I literally did that in my first post. Refer back to that.

It’s funny because your responses lean more towards the sycophantic behavior you reference here. It comes across very harsh instead of constructive with a dash of entitlement.

So which is it? You do know about cars OR you don’t? I see you conveniently side stepped my callout about that.

How about you stop sidestepping every issue I raised?
And no, I don't think people need to have an intimate knowledge about cars in general or their internal workings to know how certain cars handle or perform.
That you think this is somehow mutually exclusive and a "gotcha" is telling.

Despite not playing, he's right about most of his statements.)
-Although it's not a kn, for example, the bar scene could have been optional; not everyone likes women over 50.
