The Problem with getting kicked out - of your own beach house by the way is that you lose Kate
Really why can't the MC kick Debbie out
Actually, so far...

You do force many things with Debbie, no matter how hard the MC trys to put her off - not interact with her BISEXUAL moves - she gets what she wants - why cannot the MC stop her from touching him on the beach earlier, forcing herself into Monicas house to discuss her bullshit when the MC doesn't what to and basically tell Katie he does not like her at all thus she is not invited to his beach house and if Katie doesn't like it he won't come at all to the beach house while she is there - then the pervs that like 3some/4some and those that don't all get what they want

Or, I can wait and see the final product. I mean this isn't completed yet. We addressed our concerns, you addressed us, I'm not sure what else can be said between everyone at this point. At this point all the exchanges has happened and nothing anyone says will change much anyways. I think it's time we all focused back on Theory Crafting, which is a much more enjoyable conversation anyways.

Seriously though acewinz thank you for taking the time to chat with us about it all. My biggest concern now is that too much of your time has been deveated here instead of working on the completed episode. Good luck man and just know that even if several of us aren't completely happy with 1 episode, just remember 1 out of 19 is damn good odds. We still love your game and don't want you to be discouraged.

Haha, I wouldn't be here if I was working on the remainder of EP19 (at least not conversing in depth). The beach house was Cheeky's scene, but when his work threw him a curve I wrote the sex portions/code/menus for him based on his images and handled the early bug reports I got (I'm actually kind of surprised nobody mentioned the changes in our style after the mid-scene beta warning), but the pathing and general dialog he is tending to and I handed off when he got back from his business trip. Until I needed to circle back I had already moved onto EP20.

Just curious, don't know if this was answered yet in the 984 pages here but, is it even possible to romance all 3 ladies (monica, Katie, and Jenna) as well as others without having to choose between Monica or Katie at some point? I've only played through once so far and enjoy the story, but would enjoy a more open/harem option as well.
Nope, no open/harem routes. If/when Monica/katie/Jenna find out about one another they will go full Lorena Bobbitt on you.

And I gotta say Ace, I LOVED this update!!! :love:

So much anger in the Debbie and Lily bit here. I thought we all knew something was coming in their part and you can just leave. At first I was thinking "Who didn't want this threesome or foursome?" Then, I realized that some of the folks here are not just pervies. They are romantic pervies who want to pursue a more romantic route. I can get behind that after pulling the remaining empathy I have from the depth of my dark soul and trying out some critical thinking..

I get that the idea of leaving your own house is ridiculous when Katie boots you after interrupting. It reminded me of my ex-wife telling me to sleep on the couch one night and me reminding her that I bought all of the furniture and was the only one working. I told her she was welcome to the couch if she wanted it.

Maybe the development team could work at ways to please people on this:

1. The MC says, "No. You can leave if you want to though," at the end of interrupting Debbie.

2. The MC goes nuts and attacks the women over his anger at Lily not saying no. Poor Debbie lies dead as the police haul the MC away. Katie and Lily huddle together with tear-streaked faces. The MC ends up incarcerated or institutionalized for involuntary manslaughter. We fast forward 10 years to his release from prison. He can now date whoever he wants and gets all the money because the time on the will has elapsed. So, maybe Katie isn't really interested anymore after witnessing his rage. Maybe Teresa is his pen pal and they end up together. The possibilities are endless and the first set of endings is made available.

3. If the MC is in a relationship with Lily, he is able to say he doesn't approve. This could make it stop and also eventually lead Lily to saying she isn't into the MC as much as she thought.

4. The development team could continue with their initial game plan and avoid such instances in the future if this is a big sore spot for a large percentage of players.

5. You get a special later scene with Katie, who feels bad that you passed on a foursome with her friends just to be with her alone. This would definitely make that choice worth more to me. I think it might please others as well.

My second pick is more of a joke, but I did think it would make for an entertaining mid-game shock ending. I don't expect any of these changes to actually occur, outside of the possibility of the fourth one. Even that is iffy. Still, I love this game.

Sorry. Guess I have extreme ideas at times. I suppose it could have been toned down a bit, but I was looking at the MC being locked up for years.

I do agree with your spoiler opinion, especially if it was something from that close of an episode. Someone on a new play through might have noticed right away and that would have been the new thing for everyone to complain about.

I'm okay with whatever, I'm just hoping for some closure for those of us on solo paths, I've never been a fan of cliff hangers, especially in VNs when updates are so far apart. But that's really a me problem. I'd be happy with knowing what the consequences of your actions are. But still, I hope the Lesbian points system is addressed cause I'm running damage control for you at this point with what I believe is most likely to be true. Still, it would be better if they heard from you about it.

We try not to force anything that isn't required for plot purposes. You don't like the way things went, I get it, but good luck finding any other game with close to the player choice we try to provide every update.
Why give the player a choice if you are just going to force stuff on them anyway, if you need something to happen for story reasons, then make sure there isn't a choice, to say no to someone repeatedly and then have it ignored for story reasons, well that just annoys the player, plus you just made their choices pointless. :confused:

I check this thread for news about when the finished update hits, I read the discussions about the current episode and am tempted to play the beta, but I don't want to play the beta, because it is unfinished, so I check the thread for news about when the finished update hits...

Argh!

So what is the Beta? Is it a Beta with cut content which will be added in the full release or is it the full game with some possible bugs and typos? Don't wanna look at ppl's comment in case of spoilers

One large path is done...some other paths are not yet fully fleshed out..may be some extra content due to this..not sure.
