Well that will have 2 complications though plot wisely...She is the MC's coach which means that if it is going to happen it need to be discreet and 2 we don't really know how will her daughter react if that were ever to happer judging by the fact that elisabeth make a scene for minor things to get our attention and even though we already have been a couple (if you choose to do it early ,openly and everyone would know that) she goes and break up with the mc so i do believe that Natalie might react badly...But of course that is my assumption i like Harper but i would not want to make her life difficult
I'm not sure if you've played the last few updates, as well as other people who may be reading, so I'll put a spoiler here. He's already talked to harper and also thought to himself on another occasion about going to Lauren to talk about him being in a relationship with her, and Lauren absolutely adores him, so even though she will be hesitant at first, she will likely allow it under some conditions like, keeping it professional on school grounds for example. As far as Natalie goes, they agreed they would have to tell her, and she loves her mother and will want to see her happy, and she also will want to make the MC happy as well, she might be shocked, but I don't think she'll react badly about it. The Liz and Nat interaction is kind of irrelevant since Liz is the one who instigated it, Natalie doesn't seem like the jealous type, at least no where near the level of Liz. (although now that Liz is his girlfriend she's already seeming happier and less jealous, so probably won't be an issue anymore.)

So yeah, It might be a little shaky at times, and won't always be easy, but I don't think it will bother Natalie much if at all, and also I know Lauren will be ok with it, even though she will definitely be hesitant and give at least a couple of conditions in exchange for allowing it. As long as Both Harper and Natalie are happy with the situation, I don't see a problem with it.

If this were the average VN Natalie might react badly. However, this VN has relationships that worship the MC. The only exception so far is Mackenzie (and that is likely to change). With this VN, Natalie will most likely see the love that the MC can give her mother who deserves to be happy. Seeing all these positive changes she will, of course, push for a relationship between Harper and the MC.

It would be a welcome change to see some depth in the story. I just don't think this is that game. Maybe there is enough adversity in the relationship between a coach and star player that there will not need to be any further drama. Hell, I am just excited that the two are finally together!

Best explanation.
Maybe even Willabelle will give us a green light.

Well i hope that Natalie would not react badly but we have to wait and see what BD has instore for them...I believe that even if Natalie is ok with that they need to be extra careful because if the nature of their relationship ever become public it might hurt bot the MC and Harper's Careers...(Don't want that to happen Harper does not deserve this) anyway time will tell

I have played the game from the 1st part until the latest update... but i get your point and agree that as long as Both Harper and Natalie are happy with the situation .But i think that Harper and the MC if they ever turn in to romantic relationship it needs to be hidden from the public because it would look bad for people who can't understand it...

I agree and I feel like that could figure heavily in the ongoing story. I love this story but now that the basketball game is behind us we're do for a new point of adversity and the Harper situation seems likely to figure into it.

Well the game will be over when Jax deliver on the bet he made on his interview ....(Personally i don't plan on involved with their team's cheerleaders but a bet is a bet so i expect him to act like a man and accept the consequences)

I'll be honest, I wasn't even considering Willabelle cause even though she doesn't wanna show it yet, she's likely more crazy about him than most characters at this point, and she probably still feels bad about not letting him play the first half of the game. I doubt she will have any objections to it, and I would be surprised if she even mentions any conditions, I feel like Lauren will be the one to do that since she's still in a new role and wants to set a good example. Maybe I'm wrong though, and it will be the other way around, but it won't be until after they get back from the trip anyways, so we got a while.

Monthly will only be 200 renders? For some reason I thought it would be a bit more... It's basically another beta release.
I thought the monthlies were supposed to be the "betas" assembled together as the entire episode. But after reading and re-reading "dev report #8", I now have no idea. But the "weekly" releases did seem to hit a big speed bump.

I rather expect it will be more likely that Jax will continue to be an underhanded loud mouth and the other schools cheerleaders/Jax's girlfriend will make good on the bet out of disgust with Jax being a doosh. I expect Jax will be revealed to be the pawn of some greater adversary ala Ryker.

Willabelle is a great kind of a person she took responsibility for the actions her employ and that other dickhead did at the event but about " she probably still feels bad about not letting him play the first half of the game" it was Harper's desision for the MC not to play and i have to say that in my opinion it was a good desision considering the risks ,but Willabelle take the fall and let everyone who did not know all the details believe that she was the one who did not allow him to play....

Does anybody know when the release will be making the first 10 days into 30?

not to put pressure anywhere though it just might make the story overall better understandable...

Maybe someone could ask him on his patreon or discord...

Ok... I'm just starting the first exhibition game and the MC keeps getting all dizzy, woozy, and blurry like he's losing his grip on reality. o_O

I swear to the Gods of Point-and-Click: If we wake up with J.R. in the shower, I'm gonna go full-metal Loonie Tunes! :lepew:

Am I being critical of formulaic plot devices, looking for a pathetic excuse to use the only Loonie Tunes emoji, or did I just notice that it's 4:30am. Oh well... sleep is for the dead and besides, porn basketball games are only really interesting in the last two minutes... right? :unsure:

In this game correct, but, post game is where the action really heats up!
