I think I remember seeing that too, but I wouldn't put too much stock into the mod being some sort of confirmation anything will happen with Azel. If the actual variable says that, or something similar, then maybe we've got something.

Either way, it's going to be a long fucking time to find out.

Well usually people who make walkthrough mods that bother to put variables under the choices, put the actual variables from the game there. So it's likely an actual variable in the game, but I just downloaded it and will check it out for myself to confirm.

*edit* Alright, the mod is probably wrong. There's no 'start relationship' variable. They probably just assumed that because there is an 'AzelStat' variable that you get +1 in at the sauna if you choose to kiss. However, every girl has this variable, including Willow. That automatically makes me think that it means nothing.

However... the stat variable for all the girls seems to be a recent addition. I say this because, the highest stat any one character has is 4 and that's harper.

Therefore, unless BD changed his mind about incest, then the stat variable is probably just a blanket variable across all characters in order to trigger certain things I'd assume, and doesn't in any way correlate with a romantic or sexual relationship.

Maybe I can shed some light on the Azel relationship question. I play with the walkthrough mod because I'm anal about seeing what choices trigger stuff under the hood of these types of choose your adventure games. I did notice that during the spa visit in the last or second to last update, when you choose a certain action when hanging out with Azel there (I can't remember if it's a hug or kiss or what) it triggers the "start relationship" flag that you see when engaging with regular love interests. Take from that what you will, but I thought I'd mention it since Ive been a longtime lurker in this thread and haven't seen anyone mention that yet.

I don't keep this flaming pile of dogshit on my computer between updates so I can't double check, but most of the choices to kiss Azel gives you a + relationship score with her. Even if it doesn't open a romance or sex path with her it's very possible her relationship score could impact future paths or endings with her.
I mean I highly doubt braindead would put that much effort into the game to make multiple Azel paths, but him tracking her relationship score leaves the door open to it if he does.

Yeah I just thought it was interesting because the paranoid in me wonders if it's a deeper level tease. It would be a lot of fun to see the salt that would generate in this thread. On the other hand, him taking it in that direction could explain the anxiety.

I've followed this game since the beginning and I've seen a pattern of freakouts before major story points. Seems to me like he has some sort of personal connection to a few of these characters and has developed psycho-social relationships with them to a certain point. That would explain the MacKenzie thing. I bet MacKenzie is real, but someone he actually knows, maybe a family member, friend, old crush or something. Same with Jamie. She's probably patterned off of his girlfriend or another real life love interest. That would explain him getting so squirrely when people suggest she's ugly.

There have been many theories postulated by a lot of angry people here who claim they're not angry, but mine is that the dev had some underlying issues that this game and/or life circumstances exacerbated and he started to unravel. And like millions of other people struggling with mental issues, he's just trying to hold the gravy train together. That's just my opinions, but I'm sure there will be quite a few people who will insist I'm trying to defend him, because they subscribe to that popular philosophy among social media addicts that if you hate someone, nothing they do can be right and if you love them nothing they can do can be wrong. The gray areas are much more difficult to deal with, which is why it's so easy for people to just bear grudges and let them fester into hatred.

As far as the wait goes, I don't think it will ever be truly finished. I think the most that will happen is that it will be declared finished. for whateer that will be worth. I'm on board for the psychological study mainly, but holding out for the story resolution too, I'm not gonna lie. The people who feel slighted and want comeuppance are rooting for a total meltdown followed by him losing everything he has. I always hope for redemption. I don't bank on it, but I keep my heart open. Hatred just isn't healthy, especially over something like this.

I remember seeing that in the walkthrough mod and checking the code myself. If I remember correctly it was not a "start relationship" flag but a +1 to the point counter. However I will mention that this is the first time the point counter is used. All the kisses beforehand simply used a unique variable specific for the kisses. So, it could or could not mean something. Who knows

Thanks for clearing that up for us non-coding-minded people. I would wonder if it's a loose end then, or just copy and paste coding. Doesn't seem like the dev would be one to streamline code or whatever.

Yes, I edited my previous post with my personal conclusion. It does in fact seem to be a nothingburger, I doubt it means anything in regards to a sexual/romantic relationship with Azel. It seems to be just a blanket variable he added across all characters, somewhat recently considering all the characters have a low stat with Harper having the highest at only 4.

Yeah it probably makes much more sense that he just added it as a way to simplify the choice tracking of the code. But hey, I'll keep huffing the Azel copium until the heat death of the universe.

All the incest girls, and for some reason Yuki, have a "blueberrypie" tag, all other girls have a "creampie" tag.

Oh yeah I saw that too. No idea why that's there, it could be a joke that he decided to write in the code for only the family members. But then why does Yuki have it. Maybe she is secretly a half-sibling or cousin all along, and therefore is placed under the blueberrypie "off limits" umbrella.

Apparently it's slang for "gay," but Yuki has no creampie tag....

Well i have not notice that, interesting notice you made my friend

Yuki being a sibling to Kimmy is true but to the MC??? That would make 0 sense

 

[11234563]

Huh... The more I think of it the less it makes sense. Could be a typo when he missed "cream" and accidently typed "blueberry."

If we are going down the gay/off-limits thought bubble then maybe she is exclusively lesbian? (near 0 chance of that). Because according to the code she seems to start something with Elizabeth. But again, who knows if it even has any significance in the first place.

Yeah I know, that was more so a random extrapolation based on the fact every other character with the "blueberrypie" variable is some form of family

Lol I know, I was joking about the potential reasons for the strange appearance of the variable

Literally no clue.

The evil modder thing has always been bullshit.

Oh man.... this is, ugh...

Before 2 certain games that are not allowed to be named, got banned from the site it wasn't exactly uncommon for games to have patches with entire scenes in them. There's still a few that are around here that have scenes within the patch, like Takei's Journey.
It hurts me to say this, I really hate to even come remotely close to defending Braindead, but given how much he makes on Patreon it probably just wouldn't ever be worth it for him to risk his account making and releasing that patch, even under a pseudonym. It'd be painfully obvious to anyone who looked at it. Still, it's not unheard of and I'd be kinda surprised if it wasn't at one point in the plans given that he himself was the first person to suggest the evil modder.

 

[RegAdd]

All the incest girls, and for some reason Yuki, have a "blueberrypie" tag, all other girls have a "creampie" tag.

Would've actually been funny if that were BD's internal code for "blueballs" since it's tied to the off-limits characters, but Yuki clearly shows that's not the case since you already get to play with her.
