Yes, this is one of things that attracts me the most in the game. I like that I can say no to any of them. I hate in games, when I end up in sexual situations having made no choices that put me there.Well, I, for one, like the fact that you can play the game practically without sexy times. I love how rejecting any girl's advance will make them go eitheror

You can say no to them all you want. They will be back 5 minutes later.

Yes it's nice but in this game if you reject all girls, the game becomes very short, in my second playthrough, i just selected two girls and what i can say is that i lost 50% of the game comparing to my previous playthrough!
They can come back all they want; I won't give them an inch of my dick (nor a penny of my money)

They'll still be around, but that makes sense: people don't disintegrate when a potential lover rejects them. But for the most part they accept the decision and act like surrogate family/friends/acquaintances depending on how well they know the MC.
The main exceptions are Zarah and Bella. Zarah seems to be hardwired for innuendo and lasciviousness; combine that with the devs insisting on offering us a new chance with her after each of her numerous character remodels and she's obnoxiously persistent. Bella, on the other hand, seems to just be borderline obsessed with the MC; she wouldn't stop throwing herself at the MC until they reworked Chapter 19 after some complaints (at which point she merely tries to walk up and hug him). Given her potential roles in the story, it's hard to say if this is a deliberate character trait, an tool to maintain her presence in each player's story, or some combination of the two.
Those cases aside, however, I think the game does a good job letting us rejects girls. The seems show on occasion (the MC's numerous asides referencing how tricky it will be to talk to one girl about another come to mind), but overall I feel like the girls behave in appropriate manners. Even notoriously jealous Katie seems to accept the MC isn't into her if you just turn her down flat.
Except Jolina, you have to go on at least one date with her or it's game over...Well, I, for one, like the fact that you can play the game practically without sexy times. I love how rejecting any girl's advance will make them go either
But I think Cheeky has learned from that and it, hopefully, won't happen again. Otherwise I will just have to bring it up every chance I get! Kinda like right now
Yeah but I like that. You can do all the girls paths in one playthrough and get all the content (and there is a lot with each of them, not just the main girls which I appreciate since often the side girls are shafted), nothing is closed off. If people want to restrict themselves there will be less content which is better than having generic forced content that everyone gets no matter what.
This game is also very well paced, unlike other games here where they delay sex scenes for years. Overall one of my favourite games on this site (top 3).

All the women in the game have a role to play so they will all get a certain amount of time. As far as the forced date with Jolina you are trying to get information out of her so it makes sense that you can't just ignore her. You don't have to have a relationship with any of them but that would make for a pretty boring game.

Ok, this has been bothering me. Why the hell didnt the MC pick Katie up himself for their big date? Kind of a lame move.

If I ventured a guess, that was less MC mentality and more us wanting to spend more rendering time on the date/beach house. That was also the episode I joined the team, so Cheeky was needing help about then.

Not really, a shared universe is the crossover of characters not locations or assets. Multiple movies can be filmed in the same city or movie set but it doesn't make them a shared universe unless the same characters are intentionally added.So that "shared universe" is the sign of "fast food" game made quick by an overwhelmed dev.
How many times have i seen the standard park, the groceries store, the colthing store, the same VW beetle and so on and on and on.....

Yes of course, but it was not the case here, we are talking about the fact that many devs use the same prefabs, so some started to think it was done on purpose.
But it's just the fact that you can buy some packs of various locations, houses, props and so on to build your game with DAZ studio.

For a moment I was confused which thread I was in…
Contrary to popular belief, some things can‘t be sped up by throwing money at them.

ROFL. You don't really understand this biz. Besides the fact that in the 2 years I've been working on the game CG has never told us he was sick enough it impacted his work till now. Second he paused patreon so he isn't getting paid, but Cell and I are still working/earning (Cell more than me, I have a day job now). Third, we have hired/tried half a dozen people on the team in the last several years and they didn't work out save poor CellStudios. Half of them found the workload/time investment too heavy (and the pay you seem to think is stellar, usually amounts to less than minimum wage for the time investment for all of us), the other half honestly couldn't hack it. Two of those we tried, ghosted mid project and one even tried to blackmail us to complete work he was already paid for. lol
This is honestly a side project for a small team. Our game is more complex than most out there, even getting someone up to speed on how to manage certain aspects takes a month. You don't have to pay us (especially on a pirate forum...), but I think when we put out updates we deliver. There are only a handful of really dedicated dev teams with regular releases for these types of games. While some higher earning guys around here make a lot more than us, and put out 20 min updates twice a year... if that. We are probably in the middle, but at least never BS. Anyway /end rant.

Oh I know, I don't like bashing non-patrons and I don't want it to come across that way. Non-patrons do play a vital role when it comes to testing, you just always get those entitled few who think they can dictate a game without helping ( and I'm not just talking about financial help ).
As I see it, there are 2 kinds of non-patrons, the 1st are the ones who play the game and love it ot hate it, they'll give detailed feedback about the good and the bad. And the 2nd kind play the game, hate it and bitch about it without saying why they hate it or love it and don't say why they love it. And then of course there is the ever alusive 3rd kind who don't tell you if they love it ot hate it and just bitch about delays
