Everyone else talking about the Bailey scene while I'm sitting in the corner still waiting for the Jasmine scene to come.

I really hope is was just Ryker being an idiot and not the start of some big conspiracy, that would really suck. The game was sold as 'Go to college. Play some basketball. Get some girls.' Hopefully Belle and Rachael are right about it not coming up again and this is BD signalling that he gets that most people didn't like the way things went.
There has to be some sort of hook and conflict beyond just playing basketball and getting girls. I really liked having Ryker as an antagonist and the bowling alley fight that happened from a plot perspective. I wasn't aware most people didn't like it or the larger conflict that is being introduced.

And I took the dialogue between Belle and the MC to mean the plot between the Hearts of Hope charity and whoever this Dalia person is, will become larger. I think it goes beyond just drug pushing. And remember Damien said Ryker talked about the MC's father all the time. So there are still some unanswered questions.

And while Belle and Racheal promised the MC he doesn't have to get involved in it, I have a suspicion he will because the bad guys will target his family especially if you consider Belle and Racheal as part of that family, who will obviously be targeted for retaliation.

To be honest, I became vastly more interested in the game's plot when the Hearts of Hope group and this other bad group that controls cops were introduced. This game is better by having a good overarching conflict like that to make its plot more interesting. So I'm surprised to see someone say the opposite

Looks like the Dev realized that he was producing too many sex scenes too early on and decided to try to use more build up to the scenes.

The problem is that this game's appeal is instant gratification and having multiple women throw themselves at you, I doubt most players even remember half of the names of the characters in this game, how are we supposed to care about their backstory?
You care about their backstory by reading the words at the bottom of the screen. I know the boobies draw your eye, but try reading once in a while. Most of the characters actually have been pretty well defined so far, unless they are just background characters. This is one of those games where you come for the sex but stay for the story and Braindrop is doing a really good story so far. As for character names, besides some obscure ones, I think I can probably name 90% of the characters and this is a story that is rivaling War and Peace for the number of characters.

That might be the appeal to you, but some of us actually read the text on screen for the story.
Also, you know what helps people remember the characters outside of what they look like ? Giving them a reason to be invested in and care about them as a person. This means you eventually have to develop them as more than just a fleshpillow to be pounded when the clock ticks over.
It was a very vocal issue i had with the game especially prior to his self imposed break. It wasnt even that as other comment said that (basically) people come for the story and cum for the sexy scenes as a sticky side bonus - it was all about fan insert tall dude who was a virgin one day and within a week had fucked over a dozen different girls, was a literal male prostitute to pregnant willing older hotties and was openly parading a harem of women willing to share orchestrated by his girlfriend who according to the narrative prior to that week was not putting out at all... it was all WTF?

He moved house about 4 times in a week too. I have openly admitted several times after long breaks in the game waiting for full day releases needing to come here to ask "who was that girl again? oh its that one from ages back who you ran into briefly walking her dog" which of course wasnt an issue for super fans who replay and write their own fan fiction on the cast but yeah it is hard to not be REALLY brought out of reality with it. As such i dont think the real nitty gritty is hes gotta develop the girls more (too many characters to now and many get added each full day playthrough i check out) but more the story had to be better paced and be more cohesive so its less porn movie script and more interactive game script. We cant say BD doesnt pander to instant gratification as when i last played there was a handy dandy chubby hottie who i had never met before but conveniently the nurse knew and was offered on a plate for serious fucking on screen before we even bothered with such trifling matters as say... i dunno a name never mind a deep developed characterisation to care about seeing again haha

Its this games style, its this devs style and i like it. Hes just needed to streamline it a better, control the pace somewhat and i think hes really managed to re-focus since his break even if i look at updates and only see renders in updates but as i generally am happy to wait for full days to be released before i jump back in i get best of both worlds but i do understand people checking every update hoping for fuck some random chick be that harem regular, complete stranger or even a saggy nurse as thats the president the game has set based on previous releases.

@LukePlaysLewdGames this may sound odd but i actually find the updates without sex scenes better because you get to see more of the interesting story and the carakters get more background. i love the story more than the x scenes good job dev. perhaps you should make a book out of it idk

I prefer less frequent updates with more content, especially sex scenes. I hate when an erotic game puts out updates without sex. I'm left wondering why I even got my dick out if they don't include some naughty time. I don't mind a good story to accompany my porn but it's not why I'm here. It's appreciated but if I want a deep meaningful story I'll go grab a novel.

If that is your motivation, then it might be best. BD, in order to make a good product that will bring in money, has to ensure that each character is developed to ensure continuous interest. And at the same time, ensure story development so that it also stays relevant. That is the whole premise behind a visual novel...at least the good ones anyhow.

Why not just wait until 2 or more updates drop then?
