Bacchus, since you have stated this several times. You do know that the version up here is the early access version for 30$ subscribers? That version always has generally bad english in it and bugs. The version that is released in a few days should have better english in it and won't cause any error messages. Mean the new version he uploaded yesterday already fixed the error message and he is working on the text now.

But I do agree someone else could do that for him.

I know how you feel.
Probably that alone will make me change my main path and istead go with Ellie/Julia and the yoga.I will keep Alyssa/Zac as secondary route and additional saves.

And yet they could have done all of that in a way that didn't turn Dylan into the archetypal creepy perv spying on naked women in the shower. They lowered themselves by putting this sort of thing in the game because we all know what's in Dylan's mind without needing it to be on full display here.

They are other ways for Dylan and Sophia's relationship to advance without him having to see his Mom naked in order to give some sort of motivation to push things further. For example, if the Dylan/Emma pairing didn't end the Dylan storyline and could be run simultaneously to it, then Dylan could have come to Sophia for advice about kissing because he's nervous to do it with Emma, and Sophia would help with "practice". Then Dylan gets a boner from it and asks if she can help with it so she shows him her boobs while he masturbates and she gets turned on by it.

THAT would be better and not only would it make Dylan come across as a lot less pervy, it also advances Sophia's feelings and keeps Emma in the picture too, so it's a triple win, but unfortunately this isn't how it is going to be and we're seemingly stuck with creepy, pervy Dylan. :(



They actually do write it before they start working on the updates, so I'd say it's still the issue of superfluous writing, like the 15 different ways Ellie said pretty much the same thing about how she feels being with Julia.
And to add on what you said, Dylan is becoming more and more an « harem protagonist » . Where a virgin teenager who is awkward with girls, is suddenly super attractive to every woman and their daughters . I know that the game isn’t really realistic (despite what L&P has written in his patreons page) and more on the detailed soap opera side of the story. But why does he has to include one of the biggest cliché in this game which was not about that. For me it seems like now, he’s trying to go for another market ( the harem protagonist teenager) at the same time as the story he was telling before ( the married milf who’s corrupted to fuck around) . I’m not saying he shouldn’t do it but I would have preferred if we had Sophia story finished first and then he can make a complete game about Dylan if he wants to . Because I can already see some continuity errors already in some path, where the characters acts really weird compared to how they would, before reverting to their old self an event later. And I’m not even talking about the technical side of things where characters remember events that you didn’t choose, which is bound to happen more and more as the game progress. But maybe I’m wrong and we won’t have many more of those side characters point of view.

About Dylan, spying them OK, masturbate there, too much.
Let's see the whole picture, Ellie has a boyfriend, a girlfriend, is kissing Sophia. A full sexual life.

Dylan, almost nothing. And I don't think it's his fault. It's a teenager, a future metro-sexual not like his father ((y) Dylan). Spying them, oh yes, 95% of teenager would do this. Pervert, because his aunt and mother are there, but his new interest in Marie excuses that.

And I have to mention it, Sam is also spying.

Fair enough, but if they did all these things I've suggested then the early access could have better English and perhaps even no bugs at all if the work was handed over to others.

Think about it, if L&P got 1 or even a few people to help with the story development to maybe cut it down it a bit while still maintaining the quality of the relationship building, then once they've got a good script put together they can hand it to the translator while L&P starts work on the renders. Then when the translation is done it can be handed over to the coder who starts writing the code, and the proofreader to check for any mistakes. Once the proofreader is done, they can hand the corrected script to the coder who can go back and make the necessary corrections to the dialogue they've already coded. All the while L&P is working on the renders and once they're done, either at then end or as and when they're done, the coder can add the image titles, test the update, and then it's done.

The longest part of any update is still the render development, but at least this back-end stuff would most probably be done before they're finished the renders, so that would at least cut several weeks out of the development.

Suddenly this game reminds me, Dual Family. :WutFace: In a good way, I mean.

I hope this game never take "Abandoned" mark on it.
