After a day doing DIY i thought "bugger it, its only 200 renders" and checked out most recent update. Was good to see so many characters featured and expanded upon more (by which i mean very little Jamie/Shauna and more of the likes of Skye, Harper and Willow... no offence fans of the main harem regulars, they are eluded to getting more storyline very soon with Jamies mother arc) and i have but three questions after playing the update.
1. Why do all the girls insist on routinely wearing the same yellow pyjamas. Is this the official MC harem outfit?
2. Im assuming its been discussed to death but what was the most likely theory to whom was peeking at MC and Skye in post shower scene?
3. This 200 render thing now gonna be the norm it seems and im perfectly ok with that but how often is he planning on adding animations and the likes?
Meanwhile still kinda hovering around anticipating the week one rework hes confirmed should be ideally released by mid year. As someone who does not replay games much ive routinely found myself pausing and trying to recall who most of the side characters are as they are (re)introduced to me in the story after so long and the week one update will be adding a bio screen with all the girls to better memorise them all for me. Meanwhile though really enjoying this MUCH improved storytelling and pacing from BD - i know he had a horrible year but since his break he has come back a better writer in my humble opinion and im really starting to care for more and more of the girls beyond my handful of favourites (tellingly so as those happen to be Liz, Zoe and Natalie... all of whom were not in this update but i didnt even care lol). I also like how this game does not seem to be one of those fucking annoying efforts where dating girl A takes precedence over dating girl B ie if you like both but you only get the scenes for one this B scenes can only be seen if your not dating girl A. This game lets you have fun with literally everybody with no restrictions and i think this isnt praised enough in developers especially VN Authors.
Most looking forward to actually seeing a basketball match (which of course he is not likely to play in so the running joke can continue how this guy never gets to play despite it being the main narrative of his story haha), the interviews and rebuilding a close relationship with his blood family from all the arcs teased in the story so far closely followed by more Kate screentime (most mysterious character for me to her allegiances... sorry Mabel, shes far more mysterious than you), the introduction of the new basketball players (ie characters we aint fucking but can be bros with) and the interview(s) with the minor characters who really need more screentime for me to decide if im gonna care about them or not going forward. Not as personally interested in the red heads story based on what ive seen so far (her mom/granny/something else), the Azel date (as i think its been teased for so long now ive lost interest in seeing it actually happen anymore) and the Bailey/Rainn relationship.
