I think what makes Katie so irresistible is the fact that she's quite different from all the other girls. Monica, Elaine and Zarah are the usual type of single MILFs, Jenna is the all so familiar shy nerdy girl, Lily and Debbie are the casual carefree, light-headed cheerleader type sex dolls, Wanda is the gold-digger bitch with massive ego, Jolina, Bella and Angel are the usually rare good-looking normal do-gooders; all the well known types we've seen many many times before. But Katie - she can't be put in any of that categories. She's the wild card. She acts all bitchy and arrogant, a bit manly, but has a good heart and is just as fragile and girly from inside IF you manage to get her to reveal that side of hers. Also she has something most of the women lack - an incredible sense of humor. So for me that's what makes Katie so irresistible. I really am literally in love with her :D
She's probably closest to the Tsundere archetype, just handled better than most. The older sister is usually one of two different things, either she is repressed and innocent, (ususally if the younger sister is the wild one), or she is generally bitchy and plays not caring but is super loving deep down. What I think works well with her is that she ACTUALLY opens up over time, and continues to do so. Often it's just a one time switch that is flipped and suddenly bitchy turns into caring.

You know your tropes sir. There is definitely a bit of Tsundere in there, but I don't think Katie ever really started off as cold. I think she is more the tomboy with a mouth who actually is hiding a sensitive and tender heart underneath the attitude. :) But just because many have started exploring that cavity, and others, doesn't mean the attitude is going anywhere. Well, unless you want her to change... grumble grumble.

I think i saw that modal issue with mac before not sure if I have to have renpy generate those files for mac for mac to accept them... I just have pc... I'll see if I can do that and if it alters the file.

Attached is the file with the modal commands removed, does it work for you?

I tried it and got this error

Powiem szczerze że nie grałem w te gry dopóki nie kupiłem smartfona. Jednakże w tej grze jest jak na razie najwięcej humoru w porównaniu do innych jakie miałem okazje przerobić. Uwielbiam te teksty i mam nadzieje że dalej będzie szło w tę stronę.

To be honest, I didn't play these games until I bought a smartphone. However, this game has the most humor so far compared to others I've had the opportunity to redo. I love these texts and I hope that it will continue this way.

Exactly that - Attitude. But as in the informal use of the word they have in the US - "uncooperative behavior; individuality and self-confidence." Some of you may remember the Attitude era of WWE. Well kinda that meaning.
Cos i wouldn't say she was cold at the start; she was just more rough and vulgar, but was very happy to spend time with the MC, they had a fair amount of fun together and you could see they were really close to each other. 90% of her words at the beginning were sarcasm, like A LOT of sarcasm, which by the way is also very rare trait with women. I really loved the change in tone we got in the middle of the game: from her dying laughing when you sarcastically tell her she has a man's ass and is a transvestite, to her liking genuine compliment, romantic stuff and being treated like a real lady. But yeah, she cannot be to everyone's taste of course and that's why we have all the other types of women ;)
Oh and her dress on the date night was simply astonishing.

P.S
And 1 question for the dev; just of curiosity - is Katie modeled/based, visualy/physically or character/nature/temper, on some real life girl?

I am probably far from the first to say it but I am pretty sure Elaine figured what Bella and the MC were doing in the living room in ep. 16. She was either too embarrassed to say it or she has become good in ignoring the signs when she was living with the MC's father.

To be fair, I've seen a model very similar to her a few years ago in Ethan's Legacy (Sonic). Then, in Dancer and a lustrous stage, by the same developer.

As for her looks: Yes, she is a fairly off-the shelf Daz model (with some minor tweaks) so no doubt her dopplegangers will appear in other games. Her personality / nature / temper is very much based on a real person I knew (although her personality is an exaggerated/ caricature version of the real-life person they are based on). And the model I picked was picked for the reason that she most closely resembled the character she is based on.

I just started episode 15 so I'm probably a lot behind in the story.
Great story so far. I have a lot of favourites.

I just want to put here what's on my mind about where this is going.
I just can't shake the feeling that it all comes crushing down some time in the future. Currently I'm getting involved with every character. I'm not sure if this works out.
As it feels for me now, there are different "pools" of girls you get access to by getting it on with the characters from the house where the mc stays. Basically the main girls are Monica, Jenna and Katie. Going with Monica, this allows you to get to Zarah, Wanda and Angel.
I haven't tried, but if I for example am not interested in Monica and thus might not have a lot of relationship and lust points with her, would I still be able to play the stories of Angel and Wanda? Same goes for the other girls. If I'm not all too interested in Jenna, can I still go on with Jolina?
I probably start a new game and try it, but there are 16 episodes now after all so that might take some time.
Anyway, that's just what I've been thinking. Maybe I'm totally on the wrong path here. I just felt the need to write it down.

Start of week update
Hi All,

Just a quick update on how things have been going over the past week:
Shit! (The end.)
OK, maybe a little bit more details... :)
As you know : The WTHI team are currently on the hunt for a new artist. And that has taken up a LOT of my time over the past week and a half. Interest has been high, which is great but the process has been very slow. There's one thing that the past 10 days has taught me is that there quite a few talented artists out there. But there's a hell of a lot of crazies out there too. In total, I have dealt with 22 potential artists. Some interactions were little more than one or two messages whilst others were very long drawn out discussions, sharing of assets, ideas, etc. Lots of sharing (I think I've shared more words with some them than I have with my girlfriend all last year), descriptions of their requirements, my requirements, looking at samples, etc.... (I'm boring you already so you can imagine how I'm feeling!)
Anyway, the long and the short of it is: I'm currently working with the final two prospective artists who are putting scenes together as we speak (type) and I'm quietly optimistic that WTHI will get a new artist out of this pair (or maybe even get both of them).
And based on this time spent auditioning...it means that Ep17 is currently way behind schedule. However...we are always way behind at this early stage in the dev cycle, so I'm not ready to hit the panic button yet. So it will take alot of elbow grease but it's not impossible to get back on schedule in the next few weeks and deliver another appropriately sized episode, but as always I'll keep you in the loop and as always (hopefully you'll agree)...I'll be honest.
Also the scenes / character plans for episode 17 remain as per previously published (we're not dropping anything or cutting anything from our previous plans)
And in other news, I'm approx. 1 hour away from finishing Episode 15 walkthrough. I'll probably call it a night soon and will finish and post it tomorrow (for the relevant tiers)..

Feel free to ask any questions, offer any feedback, send any critique or the usual scattering of monthly death threats I receive :). Either post here in the comments or feel free to send me a DM. I commit to responding to every one, but just in case I miss one, feel free to send me a second time if I ever fail to respond...
Thanks folks,

All the girls are independently persueable. No relationships with one is required to hook up with another. Obviously there are scenes planned that won't happen the same (or at all) if your not seeing several of them at once though. :eek: So go with your gut, or other extremity.

Great to hear that. I will definitely go with my gut then.
