Same here with Duke Nuken. When it finally came out I was already too fucking old to find it interesting again. The jokes were old and dated, or, I had grown out of that type of juvenile humor (most likely), not even my kids found them funny...I feel you, waited myself for Half Life 3...

Time wounds all heels, I guess.

Same here ... In hindsight the best jokes in / as pertains to DN4 were the excuses for the delays during the decade(s) we were waiting for it. Ain't it sad having to say this? :/

Yes, exactly. I was never a huge fan of the original Duke Nukem. I found it mildly amusing, but nothing groundbreaking, in my opinion. By the time DNF came out, I couldn't be bothered to play it. Maybe someday I'll try it.
Half Life, and especially Half Life 2 (and Portal), were revolutionary at the time. The whole episodic release plan of Episode 1 and 2, was a great idea.
Unfortunately, Valve started making more money than they ever dreamed with Steam, getting a cut of every game sold. Why would they re-hire a team full of game designers for hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, to eventually make a few million after a year or two of development, when they are making a million dollars a minute doing next to nothing with Steam? I was shocked that Alyx came out, but I think VR as a game platform is going to go the way of 3D home TV (remember that?), so it is a dead end in my opinion. Someday, when someone comes up with a way to experience VR without having to wear a clunky headpiece and the higher tech version of the Nintendo glove, it will take off. Probably a generation from now.

I felt the same about Half Life 2, and ended up being a developer on that project.
Did I hear you correctly, you work for "Valve" ?I felt the same about Half Life 2, and ended up being a developer on that project.
No, I worked for a hardware company that partnered with Valve to optimize the game engine for specific hardware.

I know Monica, Jenna & Katie (My favourite) are the focus but I also really like Debbie
Honestly, I was expecting Ep 24 in August-September. I believe it will be in July (i.e. that the developer will be a month off). And thus... I am pleasantly surprised!!!!
It is still not inconceivable that Ep 24 will be in August but it will probably be Late June - Early July! That's good news for me.
If you're using the walkthrough and don't want to click the 'right' option every time, but just follow along with auto-forward enabled, replace your screen choice with this to automatically 'click' the right option after 2 sec:
With that, you only have to choose something if there are 0 or more than 1 'right' options. The rest is VN. Just hit Auto and enjoy reading.
Python:
screen choice(items):
style_prefix "choice"
python:
actions = []
vbox:
for i in items:
textbutton i.caption action i.action
python:
if (preferences.afm_enable or config.skipping) and i.caption[0:1] != "[":
actions.append(i.action)
if len(actions) == 1:
timer 2.0 action actions[0]Will Mabel give us a call in the game within the next update or, will she be forgotten?

Oh my god!! i didn't follow that thread for a while and now i learn that they are redoing the game !!! WHAT!! just right at the end when we all were waiting for the probably last chapter and learn how it will end.
This is bad, not a good sign at all, they say it's because they want to build a steam version, a "family friendly" version where sex scenes are replaced by petting little kitten i guess!
When a game is following that path it often ends up by getting abandoned, too much work, patrons pissed, money doesn't come anymore, dev getting tired and everybody start to forget about that game.
It would have been much smarter to give this game a proper end then later work on a new version.

Finally, the spin off to the best video game ever that I've been waiting for. Purrrrrrfect
Jolina is referred to as an Older woman by the player when talking to Katie. How old is she?
About 30, according to an old post by CheekyGimp.

I wonder if the dev regrets having so many characters because in a game like this where choices actually matter it must be maddening to keep track of everything.
After all we are not just playing some boring fuck fest here we are playing something with meaningful choices and lots of routes
P.S. if you couldn't already tell, I will say I bloody love this game it is so good.
