Enjoy it while it lasts. In his downtime (in the dungeon it's all downtime) Cell is redoing the early game renders with the new models and techniques we have learned since then.Just started a new run and it is amazing how much the graphics improved from Chp 1 to ch 20. The quality of the textures, the lighting, and the posing are so different it almost feels like two different games. So until there is, hopefully, a remaster in the future; I have taken a European cinema abstract approach. When our hero arrive things are dark, washed out, and a bit unclear. As the story progresses, his world begins to brighten and take focus due to love and piecing together the gold digger mystery.
Ok, its a bit much I know; but I just watched Fellini's "Roma" again, and I got in that vibe.
Wouldn't it be better if he did this after the game is complete?Enjoy it while it lasts. In his downtime (in the dungeon it's all downtime) Cell is redoing the early game renders with the new models and techniques we have learned since then.
Ha! So your saves are fine. I chatted with Cheeky... he forgot to tell me he was doing this, but rather than just combining stats when you achieve a relationship plateau with the girls, now we are going to start combining them all and closing out lust stats. Either you are on the path with the girls sexually, or not. There will still be relations checks for things, but lust at this point is sort of obsolete as the majority of the girls have combined or are past that point.Here you go. the first is a Jenna/Jo focus during the beach house. The second is a solo Lily focus just before Jo's scene Both should trigger the Elaine glitch at the end, but I can give you another save if you need more.
He is only doing it when he doesn't have anything more from the current EP we are working on to do. Cell is a bit nuts, but he is very productive. We are usually trying to keep up with him. We really only want another artist so he can have breaks and have a backup.Wouldn't it be better if he did this after the game is complete?

Thanks, will try.If the pirate links for the game are giving you trouble you could always try the legitimate ones on our patreon... Also we have a quick start on the menu... No need to replay any eps anymore.
So I can skip my dissertation comparing elements of WTHI with the French Nouvelle Vague and Pulp movement of the 60s/70's?

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback. I won't give my opinion on each point but just wanted to make a general statement as I think some people are missing the point.I see what you mean, though I don't agree 100%.
I've liked Jolina for a while and I still like her, but her scene with Jenna is really problematic. Fundamentally, it only works in the case where the MC is pursuing both her and Jenna. In cases where the MC never showed any interest in Jolina she just comes across as a borderline sex offender. In cases where the MC has never shown interest in Jenna, Jolina's method makes sense but it feels a little over the top - and Jo really should have discussed it with the MC first.
It's only in the case where the MC was fooling around with both of them that the punishment fits, and thus makes it to the relatively lighthearted zone it really needs to be in. I realize that's probably the most likely scenario for a porn game, but it's not the only scenario and quite frankly the scene needed some other variations to handle those scenarios.
This is particularly disappointing because it's the exact same problem we had in Episode 19 where the big orgy was treated as a one-size-fits-all scene regardless of how much sense it made; the only way for the MC that wasn't dating one of the girls to avoid a threesome was to storm off and hope things worked themselves out without him. [Which, BTW, is still unclear even after this update: are Lily and Debbie a thing now if the MC didn't pursue any girls on team Katie? Beats me.]
In an effort to organize the rest of my (numerous) thoughts on Episode 20, I'm going to break it down into sub-categories. Proceed at your own peril!

My, that was quite the treatise. Since I had a lot of criticisms, let me sum up by saying I still liked the episode and do want to see this through to the end. I'm just disappointed because I feel like this game isn't living up to its full potential.
That may not be an entirely fair way to judge it, effectively asking it to live up to my own ambitions rather than accepting it for what it is. But I'd hate for WTHI to sell itself short, so I hope you'll take this as sincere advice, even if you ultimately disagree with it.
Good point - I'll do a double check and give more options to abort earlier for other women. I thought I had plenty but obviously not.Yeah, if Monica doesn't suddenly come to her senses and realize that the MC's dick, though magical, isn't enough of a reason to destroy her relationship with her daughters.
I want the revelation of who he is fucking to happen soon, his declaration of love (or not), the fallout to all of it. Having to pickup the pieces after all that he has done (or who he has done) will hopefully be deliciously terrible and, perhaps, humorous. Just going to be a long time getting there...
I understand that the game is very much sex first and everything else a distant second, it's just frustrating that it is written in such a way that even when you play the MC as someone who is committed to only one woman you spend every update turning down women who get overly upset about the fact that the MC is turning them down (can't the game be programmed in such a manner as to check if a character was turned down and then not ask every time the game is updated?) As if the MC should, of course, be fucking them all even though the game is NOT going to have a harem. You can declare your love for Katie in front of her friends and those same "best" friends will step up and ask about fucking behind her back...
Anyway, just something I noticed as I played through the game on my Katie path, I quickstarted for everything else.
Also bear in mind that there's plenty of people who turned down a girl and then want to change their mind after other events unfold....so if we made every decision final - would piss off a lot of people....if we give multiple opportunities to change your mind...also pisses a lot of people off so damned if you, damned if you don't..... Once we get the mind-reader option turned on in renpy, we'll be golden!Yeah, I'd really like to be able to say no without the game asking, "are you sure?", "are you really sure you're sure?", "last chance to change your mind! So are you super sure you're sure you're sure?"...
Anyway, I suppose it's better than being forced to fuck someone, at least we've not had that scenario happen in this game.
So you want an episode where the Mc randomly goes in and out of businesses asking could he see their CCTV footage and (realistically) being refused. I agree it would add a bit more depth to the investigation but it would be a boring update.True, wasn’t suggesting otherwise but there’s no reason the MC couldn’t have asked for their help. Do they have to help? No. Could they have helped anyway? Yes.
Jenna could have tried hacking someone else too. Obviously they wanted the Jolina fuck party scene to happen, whereas I’d rather not...
"and team member"...damn cheeky , ace , and team member you are all sneaky bastard
True but I was thinking more a "sum up" scene... He could arrive at Jo's coffee shop looking frustrated and tired, have a conversation with Jo about what he's been doing all day, and then you can have him be unsuccessful and have her decide to try and help, maybe even slot this into the scene where he goes and helps her at her cafe and has sex with her. No need for a lot of scenes of him talking to random people, just add some dialogue into a scene.So you want an episode where the Mc randomly goes in and out of businesses asking could he see their CCTV footage and (realistically) being refused.

Brilliant!MC staring at the contact list on his phone: "Should I call Dave or should I go see what Katie and her two hot friends are doing?"
<MC deletes Dave's number and tosses his phone onto the bed>
MC yelling: "Katie when are Debbie and Lily coming over?"
When MC's friend shows up, I'm calling him Dave. Done deal!Brilliant!
Yeah, I think the home screen is a bit busy too. Can't blame anyone but me for that one. I think it worked as a poster but not as a home screen. will look to udate it for Ep21.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Oh, and while I'm at it:
I didn't really like it; I thought it was a bit distracting.
But to be fair, I thought the same about blinking the first time I encountered it, and I've grown rather fond of it since then. So I don't want to make any snap judgements.
On a final note, I thought the new title screen was too busy. The pictures are nice, but there are a lot of them and they don't draw the eye to the actual title - which compounds the problem by being in small, elaborate text, in a light color on a light background, in the upper right corner of the screen.

If the title stood out more, or were in a more prominent location (usually the center, top left or bottom right in the English speaking world), I could probably get behind it. But as is, I feel like it's failing at the one thing you expect a title screen to do.
Sheesh, I'm being all negative here. Let's see, what else can I praise? Oh, right!

Debbie always looks good, of course, but I really liked her new suit.
I can already see the introWhen MC's friend shows up, I'm calling him Dave. Done deal!
