I'm not sure? The scene I'm talking about has Mira end the romance with Arianna and stay FWBs because the former is not interested in dicks. I understood that to mean they'll still have casual sex, but Arianna won't try to force dicks into Mira. I don't see anything in that link to negate that.Isn't that a temporary thing?
Probably splitting the different versions of Arianna's path into a romance path and a casual sex path, then? Is that from build 20?I'm not sure? The scene I'm talking about has Mira end the romance with Arianna and stay FWBs because the former is not interested in dicks. I understood that to mean they'll still have casual sex, but Arianna won't try to force dicks into Mira. I don't see anything in that link to negate that.
Although, now that I think about, there is a scene shortly after where Mira gets dicked by a futa robot, so it's not entirely consistent. Hmm
No, build 19. If you reject both dicking choices, Arianna gives you a whole "I'm pan, you're clearly not, let's either be FWBs or just friends" speech. The latter isn't implemented yet (game over screen). The former just keeps you having sex with her. But as far as I can tell, it's still the same sex you'd be having in a "romance path". Or at least, I'm yet to see anything that suggests a "we're not dating, just fucking" distinction.
So, I'll look into the points thing. However, it shouldn't be the case. There are several places to pick up extra sub points. In example, you can pick up a few during the prologue/intro section that you might have missed. There's something of a balance issue there, where I don't want it to be too easy to meet every requirement, but have to make sure it's possible. It should be possible, but I'll have to sit down and tally up the points in a 'no dicks' scenario.I think I found a bug. If you go for a solo Arianna play and have a "no dicks, ever" policy you end up withSubPoints=9at the end of week 4, which means you hit an unavoidable game over screen at the end of the week since Arianna's week 5 events requireSubPoints>10.
That said, I think this bug is the consequence of a wider problem with Arianna's path. I'll elaborate. While I mostly like her content, I'm of two minds about the "mind control". It's CNC, not sexual assault, which is good but... maybe it pulls its punches a bit? We're given all that spiel about the traffic light system being instinctual, how Mira doesn't have to even think about whether she's OK with something - she just knows - but then you get a scene like the glory hole where the dev is afraid to push the player too much, even though Mira-the-character should have a pre-determined reaction.
And if you do reject the glory hole, the game falters entirely because you are not supposed to make that choice. The date ends with a cold tension and Mira says she needs to talk to Arianna next time they meet, but the very next scene is once again happy-go-lucky mind control, as if the previous scene didn't happen. What's worse, you actually MUST have the SubPoints from that scene to proceed into week 5, hence the above bug.
A quick fix would be changing the week 5 trigger toSubPoints>8. But to fix the narrative, I think you need to be bolder NovusPeregrine. Like, if Mira is into CNC, let her make the decisions - not the player - which is already the case for most Arianna scenes. Don't give the player an out, and you won't have any bugs like this
Yeah, this. I got a lot of kickback when I originally didn't leave a lesbian-only option for Arianna's route. I've made adjustments in light of that, going as far as I felt I could to allow for it without wrecking the overall route story. As you implied, a lot of that kickback came from lesbian players who felt I'd sprung a trap on them, despite never actually stating that the game was lesbian-oriented. While the vast majority of the game's interactions are Female/Female or Female/Futa, the MC was written as bi-sexual from the start, with occasional mentions of her having been involved with guys in the past scattered throughout the story. That said, I understand/understood the frustration, given that adult games where it's even possible to play a lesbian are sort of hard to come by. So I made as much adjustment to the game as I could, within reason.
Yep. The route was always planned to have Arianna as a Pansexual type. In response to feedback, I made her route a bit more accessible, and intend to include a 'friends with benefits' alt route that allows you to complete her story without a full romance. But it won't be as full-featured as her full-romance route. I made each of the routes of the game feature a different dynamic on purpose, to cover a broad spectrum, but that means I'm not willing to completely disregard the various character personalities in favor of always letting the player do whatever they want. That just results in characters without much personality -_-.Now that I've played till the end of Arianna's current route, it actually gets better! I had to bypass the above bug with some console shenanigans, but if you reject dicks again at the club in week 5 you finally get the "I can't date you if you don't like dicks" conversation. Good stuff! I actually love that the game is decisive about it - No dicks? Fine, but no Arianna romance for you because she is pan, not player-sexual
Work alternately with Revina and Trix from day one and be a sub. I recall you'll need the key from Revina's lab. (If you have a few dom points, it affects some scenes.)
Well Dom points you get from working with Revina
When you first talk to Trix, ask personal questions. In the second conversation, mention her grandfather. When you talk to her about the Chastity Belt, be a sub. In Revina's lab, look at the photo of Trix ((not the computer). On the fifth day, after giving Trix a massage, you will get the cooperation option.
I've never done this before, I hope they work.
This is a little bug. If you choose the Take the key option, you will receive the key, a Dom point AND a Sub point. (Technically, you should only get one Dom point.) It doesn't affect the game.
I'm unsure exactly what you're having issues with? You didn't say what you're actually trying to do? Trying to go down Trix's Route? Attempting to trigger the threesome route? What is your goal here?
Well, first I was trying the threesome, but when it seemed to not work I tried solo, and when it still happened I stopped and asked.
Ah. The threesome routes each have specific hidden requirements, as they are both supposed to be harder to unlock. I know I've posted the exact requirements elsewhere in the thread before. But, off the top of my head:
