i agree with the previous poster who mentions the breakup scene where mc drives Kim to the airport. after the way she leaves, i would have put her shit in the hallway..unpacked and thrown everywhere with a note to go fuck herself and there is no way he will drive her to the airport, also would have takena sledge hammer to her scooter and make sure she can see it smashed to pieces....you don't want me anymore..then you don't have me anymore. plus i would have him get over it faster than a full year..maybe a month or so and start banging everything with a pulse and drop the nice guy attitude. his personality doesn't change much during that year from what i can tell. i would have gone full on fuck em and chuck em attitude after the way Kim dumps him in such a heartless and cowardly way. but that's just me i guess.

the dev teams needs to contact the holy trinity - Drifty, Redfox studios, digi b.. aka leap of Faith, Chasing sunsets, Atremis.. about being added to the regular colabs as there work and this would fit perfectly in the shared universes

But... how does it really make you feel? :devilish:(y) I couldn't agree more!! I'm so undecided (still) about this story. The writing is excellent overall. The story is actually pretty engaging considering not all that much has really happened yet. But, there is already way too much of the "must feel good" about everything attitude and it is beginning to become trite. I understand wanting to live in a world where people are tolerant and get along. I also despise people who have little respect for others - especially in a relationship. I can't identify with a character who constantly rolls over. This is looking more and more like a perfect opportunity to provide an early ending choice. I tell the boss he can keep Kim or me but not both. Game over.

It's funny because if that was realistic, his demeanor would have killed even the slightest doubt she might have had about her choice. Dude not only acted like he didn't give a fuck, he was so supportive and understanding you got the feeling he actually wanted her to go. I don't think that's the vibe dev intended for that scene but that's how it looks.

Why? That sounds like filler. Wouldn't dev time be better spent on story progression and sex scenes?

If you look back through the postings about the prologue, it is filled with comments saying the MC needs to grow a spine. In chapter one we move to a point in time a full year later and he is just getting around to talking to himself about moving on. I do understand being heart broken and emotionally damaged. I'm an old soldier who once got the proverbial "Jody letter" while deployed. Trust me, I understand pain and loss. Something always changes. Your life changes you or you change your life. But, whether you rant and rave or withdraw into a shell, there comes a time to do something... anything... even if it's wrong. MC is so steeped in the psychology of tolerant understanding that he seems to have no emotion of his own at all - just a confusing malaise of acquiescence.

You must take breakups IRL real good, if you'd do that to a damn fictional character, smh. For once, I support the dev's decision, even if I don't like it. Breakups are always tough, but that's how life works... shit happens. Can't do anything about it but accept it and move on. At least this time, the GF wasn't a cheating hoe, and I admit I'm surprised about that, coz usually, the GF dumps the loser MC to ride other dicks, and some devs even force the player to fuck or interact with her again lol. Glad to see a few of them avoiding this lame cuck-simp porn game trope.

you don't want me anymore..then you don't have me anymore
She never said she don't want him anymore, she just wants to have a stable future, and excuse me for going all Andrew Tate on you on this, but it's the MC's fault she wants more for herself coz it's his job to be the best version of himself, make a shitload of money and provide for his woman. If he did that, she wouldn't have a reason to break things off with him, but it's always easier to blame the woman for your fuckups and insecurities, apparently.:rolleyes:

i would have gone full on fuck em and chuck em attitude after the way Kim dumps him in such a heartless and cowardly way. but that's just me i guess.
Thank fuck for that, coz it takes a mature, understanding person to comprehend this kinda situation. A brokey bitch or an immature teenager will always throw a tantrum about how much of a bitch his woman was for not fucking up her future for a questionable relationship instead of acknowledging and accepting his own mistakes that pushed her away.

Really good start to the game, always expected that ending, very difficult choosing between the girls. Not sure I would go down the hareem route, to start with poss on another play through althrough I wouldn't go back, looking forward to the next update.

It didn't have to be a "burn the bitch" type of reaction. A calm "Ok, you made your choice, best of luck with your life, bai" would have sufficed. Something to clearly show hurt and annoyance but nothing extreme. That whole accepting and almost apologetic reaction (like he did something wrong), just seemed unnatural to me.

Yay! We finally get choices... and it confused me for a minute... we have "Kim" and "Kimberly" (two different individuals)...
1685407879086.png
"Kim" is a main LI, "Kimberly" is a side LI... really dev?

Fantastic... now I have to figure out how to keep them separate in the mod's alt-character renaming.

Bro wtf? You sound like one of those crazy girls in a breakup video.

People break up. It happens. Education, work, distant family, money etc. It's totally fine to act mature and drive the person you care about to an airport. Seriously... guy. You're acting like the MC caught her fucking one of his best friends.

Dude... Everybody they knew was aware that she was leaving. Except him! That right there is a special kind of being shat upon... JMHO

I'm just now sorting thru all the new changes but one thing to know (important):

Dev team has changed some variable defaults, including Relp points that you start out with. I'm not sure why this hasn't been mentioned by the team but due to this a new playthrough would be prudent in lieu of loading an old save... just sayin'. I'll try to sort out the new defaults in SanchoMod if you decide to load an old save to account for the differences.

There's also many changes in the previous Prologue including some dialogue and music changes (some music removed, some new added), etc. Just know it's all a thing and my initial assessment is to advise starting a new run (playthrough), but you do you.

Another thing... the Kim Balloons scene is no longer semi-free roam, it's been completely revised. There's more but I need to get back to it.

Hey bud, serious question:

Why on Earth (since you changed all the starting Relp values from "Prologue") didn't you change them all at the start of Chapter One's script for folks who were loading previous saves? I can easily sort it in the mod but it's going to screw some folks up that run unmodded.

Easily done with just this at the start of Ch1 (one of many ways to do it, but this is very simple):
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Just sayin'. Hope all is well bud.

People handle things differently. Anxiety, fear, doubt etc can be a mfer. Her reaction seems realistic to me. There are a lot of people that have issues with being decisive and direct. Yea... she probably could have handled it better, but it is what it is. I ain't gonna hold it against her if she honestly wants to make things right.
