experimenting a little with AI. The main problem is consistency, for example two similar pictures of Jenna return two enhanced faces that look different enough that I would not consider them to be the same person.
Monica is always a little bit too Asian, Zarah a little bit too young looking.
Sex scenes dont work at all, and all penises are turned into fingers or wooden sticks.

These look excellent. Love Zarah's new look and how realistic they look. Did a little messing around with AI a few months ago too and had the same issue with consistency. As soon as THAT improves over the next years... it will be the future of artwork for games. Also... saw some crazy stuff... where I made a SFW image, but AI randomly stuck a cock on the side of someones head instead of an ear. AI still needs a bit of work ebfore it replaces DAZ, but when it does... it will be incredible.

i just don't get how having to choose between the girls and monica makes sense. eventually monica is gonna find out we're dating anyway and wont it end up being the same situation? won't she be heartbroken and expose us? ugh its annoying. anyway here's to hoping for a harem mod eventually

It is an avn where you have sex with everyone you meet, it has to be verisimilar, not realistic. Monica will not know when the affair with her daughters has become serious and is unlikely to make a scene thus ruining their happiness as well, and the same is true in reverse. You break her heart when you leave her, regardless of who you prefer to her

To date there are 2 possible pregnancies: Jenna and Bella.

And others on which the will is expressed, but with no effect yet.

probably all LIs excluding MILFs, or at least Elaine is self-excluding.

really? iirc when i played it along ass time ago you could get elaine pregnant as well as bellas mom in fact i think my play through was just romancing her only and she ended up telling me she was pregnant maybe that was something else but im pretty sure it was her that said that

In my opinion you are confusing the names. Elaine is MC's father's partner and Bella's sister, not non. Bella at the end of the last chapter eventually reveals that she is pregnant. While Elaine, if you talk to her about the possibility of having children answers that at her age she cannot

So I want to ask that we have to play season 1 steam remaster after ep 24 or both are same?
Click to expand...
Ep24 is the entire VN to date (before the Steam release). Season 1 is the first few chapters with reworked graphics to fall in line with the later chapters.

What is difficult to understand about this? I answer this godamn question every....fecking...day it seems.

Of course. Oh my God. That damned woman deprives us of all pleasures.
This Monica looks like Hürrem to me, the wife of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, back in the 16th century. The poor man had a harem of more than 500 women, but the harpy would not let him sleep with any of them, except with her. Horrible woman.
By the way, all the women in the VN are not even 25, what a crappy harem. To solve this, I propose that the male characters be incorporated, starting of course with Sammy. Also Roger and his loudmouth friend and the guys at the party. Don't forget the carnies, including the old fortune teller. The maitre d' of the French restaurant. All the male attendees at Comicon, Scarlet's limo driver, the photographer, the bald guy at the theater. I don't forget the big-nosed comedian or the bartender at the joint. Ah! and of course, dog boy. I don't know if I forgot any.
With this we reach about 50, I think. By the nails of Christ, what a shame for haren.
Long live Suleiman and die fucking Monica.

Ill give my two cents on the game: i love it but I believe that the addition of some characters were not beneficial to the overall plot. I am specifically talking about Porshe (and sister), Captain Heart and to a lesser extent dog's boy mum.

Now the entire plot is based on the MC having to choose between the money or Monica's family and solving the mistery of who is plotting behind the MC's back. While the MC is trying to do that, he develops relationships with the other NPCs, who are more or less involved to the main points of the plot.

The characters I mentioned at the beginning of this post feel inconsequential to the plot as pursuing any of them poses no risk for the MC (inheritance vs Monica's family) aside from getting caught cheating on any LIs that he ended up with. For example if you date Bella and Kate you risk not only of losing one or the other (or both), but also the inheritance (yes according to the events of the last episodes you don't anyway but the MC and the player do not know that until ep 24). I used Bella and Kate but i could have made the same example with Monica and Joline or with many others. In addition these characters are somehow intertwined by the main plot points. Therefore there role and relashionship you develop with them feels more natural if contextualized in the overall story. Furthermore these NPCs you meet in the early episodes have had more character development and therefore by cheating on them or losing their affection, frendship or love feels more consequential for the MC.

Conversely Porshe (and sister) and Captain Heart do not have not role in the main plot, have had little development and feel more like some random people added to the mix at the last second for the MC to hump. Furthermore Wanda and Angel are already filling the role of characters not involved in the main plot, making not only Porshe and Heart superfluous but also redundant.

Personally rather than adding these NPCs I would have focused more on the main cast and/or tried to involve more Angela and Wanda with the other NPCs. For example there should have been scenes where the MCs risked to get caught cheating like when Bella visits the beach house while Kate Debbie and Lily are there.

All in all this game is great I played it alot but there are some areas that could be improved
