One thing to consider is that although he has the mind of a 40 something, he's in the body of a pubescent boy. The prefrontal cortex is still developing and that body will depend upon the emotionally driven amygdule for decisions until around age 25. A relatively normal person would probably find a lot of "Why did I do that?" moments. On the other hand, he's already established as being emotionally and socially stunted, so he probably never grew out of many of the teen perspectives.I just don't get how a 40 something year old guy couldn't get over his childhood crush. It's like he has the mind of a twelve year old.
His obsession over her is too much to the point that he is acting like a simp. I mean there is nothing wrong about liking the character of a person to the point of an attraction, but getting emotionally disfigured in the near proximity of that person to the point of openly favoring that person in front of his girlfriend is a bit too much.
It wasn't about just Catherine too. It was idealized and Catherine grew into an amalgamation of failures and what ifs. The "crush" was beyond the person, aka Catherine. It does tend to happen in real life too, and the less "successful" you are the bigger the voice in your head.One thing to consider is that although he has the mind of a 40 something, he's in the body of a pubescent boy.

Also following up on this. How did you fix this?? The slowdown has only gotten worse with consecutive updatesHelp Please Please Help me animations are lagging too much. I really really want to play but animations are lagging so much. This doesn't normally happen when i play any other renpy games.
[ Hehehehe I fixed it on my own ]
Whenever the animations get choppy I just save and reload, that usually fixes it.Also following up on this. How did you fix this?? The slowdown has only gotten worse with consecutive updates
I'm clueless about why the animations are lagging but I think it should be better in this version:Also following up on this. How did you fix this?? The slowdown has only gotten worse with consecutive updates

Development update – Beach map + wip mall map preview
View attachment 3099973
I severely underestimated how much effort the mall map would take. Initially I intended to just put 2d images behind the showcases of all the small stores to simulate the insides but that turned out to look very bad so instead I have to build them from the ground up. Another problem is that there are simply no fitting assets for this map in studio so I have to build almost everything with simple shapes and custom textures which does take quite a while as honey select really isn't made for stuff like that (at times I even thought about whether it wouldn't be more time effective to just learn blender and do it that way).
I really have to say, making this map is probably the first time I despise working on the game. But, it can't be changed and the nice thing about maps is that once I get through it they are basically just another asset for me to use at any time so that bit of struggle will be worth it.
The beach map on the other hand did turn out quite decent in my opinion. It is by far the biggest map I've made so far (and it really is a strain on my pc) but in comparison to the mall map making it was a walk in the park. Having access to proper assets really makes all the difference in the mapping process.
Anyway, I know map previews aren't the most exciting thing for you guys but they are part of the development process and this is a development update after all. I'll make something more fun for next week but for now here are a few previews of the finished beach map as well as the work in progress mall map.

I might have a clue, in another game a guy found out that most dev don't actually hide their animations after they played in renpy, so that means that the animations just keep looping in the background, this can get quite resource intensive if there are many, this thread goes into more detail https://f95zone.to/threads/mod-help-increasing-cpu-usage-when-playing-videos-in-sequence.177596/I'm clueless about why the animations are lagging but I think it should be better in this version: Mega
No. Showing him will just lead to a more extreme version of cucking him, as far as I know so far (played until the end of the most recent Update).just wondering at the choice of "show him" and "stay vague"
Does "show him" choice mean we're giving up on Cathrine because that's when the protagonist says that she's happier with Stephanie, and what about the "stay vague" choice?
That's not it I always hide animations. But I believe its fixed in the version I posted anyway, I'm just waiting for someone who had the issue to confirm as I can't replicate these lags on my side.I might have a clue, in another game a guy found out that most dev don't actually hide their animations after they played in renpy, so that means that the animations just keep looping in the background, this can get quite resource intensive if there are many, this thread goes into more detail https://f95zone.to/threads/mod-help-increasing-cpu-usage-when-playing-videos-in-sequence.177596/
What Cherubin25 said above. Showing him is for the deep dive into the netori route, staying vague is to have Aden involved as little as possible.just wondering at the choice of "show him" and "stay vague"

There are still some morally very questionable things in store for the corruption routes but in general the MC will always care for the girls and every route will have an happy end for both parties.This is probably one of the most favorite games I’ve played, at first I didn’t really like Ugly bastard in the name of the game, but, but you just forget about it, the game and the main character, especially with girls, are very pleasing, and it’s very cute and erotic at the same time, The hero is much better than I thought it would be, I play 2 routes at once, and I really like both of them, although the situation with Katherine is very ambiguous, but for me it’s more or less neat, but I wanted everything to continue to be sweet and erotic, even in the corruption of the route, like and now it’s hot and cool, p.s. I hope they don’t really make the hero a Bastard))
I checked your version and it is significantly better compared to the version in the OP. The main menu animation is smooth, as is all the other animations in the game, with a few exceptions.I'm clueless about why the animations are lagging but I think it should be better in this version: Mega
