Yeah, definitely not the official version.

It also wouldn't the the first that someone changed the script to try and see more content (which really shouldn't be necessary) and ended up causing problems down the line. Even people trying to do a legit unmodified walkthrough have been known to quit because they can't encompass all the options that the game gives the players. If it was easy to keep up with though, we wouldn't need spreadsheets and so much playtesting. I'd simply recommend using the built in quickstart if you are having trouble with content at any particular point, or, you know... patreon and get the official walkthrough.
wish i had the money to support on patreon that would be a luxury. also its not a problem with the game its just that i did not expect it. usually the walkthrough will give you the perfect ending :p so losing everything looked like a weird perfect option :p

With that party scene, how reliant is it to advance Katie's story, I never tried not doing it, is it still possible to successfully go down Katie's path without doing Natasha, feel like so many issues will come out later, other than the aggressive cheating, I feel like this will be a big obstacle blocking the mc and say Jenna or jolina from being 'cool' with him, also the fact that he could face severe legal punishment, that one action kinda gravitates to a lot of people
Katie's route will continue if you call the plan off early; in fact, I'm pretty sure her story continues if you whiff on pretty much everything at the party. Katie will be pissed at first, but she'll mellow out quickly and admit the MC made the right decision even before you get back home. That's been my preferred path since I started playing the game, even on my Katie run.

Yeah, even if you get caught making out with Debbie. You take a significant hit to her numbers, but it doesn't close the door to her.

That's actually a good point.

Walkthrough for visual novels back in the days used to be like

Perfect route for girl A
Choice 1,
Chioce 2,
....


Perfect route for girl B
Choice 1,
Chioce 2,
....

Now they are just a collection of choices that make you score any point that you can score with barely any note.

Following them doesn't necessary mean good ending. You should like just make the choices that make you score with the girl you want only, most of the games.

Facts. Just going by score/points alone without considering context can definitely cut you off from more desirable outcomes for our game. Yeah we have general relationship and lust values which are important, especially early on, but just as important as them, if not more, are crucial choices that can determine solo or group paths with different girls or lesbian interactions etc. The kicker is how everything interacts with most everything else and basically juggling things until you get what you want or can't anymore and things can get explody.

Yes. To me the biggest example of that is when you do a 4 way with Katie and her minions, then refuse to commit to a committed relationship with Katie when she throws that idea out at you. (Even if you are friends with benefits with her.) No matter what your points are with Debbie and Lily, they drop you immediately when you turn Katie down.

That's why you never should pursuit any of the trio. The heart is where the money stands.

so that effectively istantly leaves you with only one lo of value :p if money is everything you care about then monica zarah katy jenna and joline are all gone the crazzy cathlic one might be still there as i currently dont know what their money stance is but this mostly just leaves angel as wanda is more of a slave than a lo.

Wanda may have started as more of a slave than a love interest, yes. But with the right choices, she can and does start to evolve into something else.

didnt they say update at the beginning of september?

I just went over to Patreon and checked the dev updates

July 18: " by the end of this week, I should have a fairly clear idea of how much work/time is left and I should be in a position to give a fairly accurate release date."
July 26: "estimate is that there's at least another 4-5 weeks work left to go."
August 25: "we are definitely on for a September release."
August 29: "official episode 23 releases next month"

I think some time ago the 24th was supposed to be the last one. I don't know if it is still so, but sure the story is wapping up.
25 was a Cheeky goal, and it is possible we can make that, but I think more like 26, give or take Epilogues, but we'll see

We said beginning/mid september give or take and still hoping to make the mid after Cheeky's work trip caused some delay.

Then it should be this week.

Doubtful, while we may have all the content done this week (if we are lucky), I don't think we would have it playtested. I know you are anxious, so are we, but we don't want to put out an update if it isn't ready. It causes more trouble in the long run for everyone if we do. Plus with some new features and some major plot progression this update, we want to be even more diligent in that regard.

Yeah but like, we want to masturbate to your free video game now, not later.
