I think the size of this update combined with the desire to juxtapose whatever Victoria tells us with the Week 3 Exhibition were the driving factors here.
I'm not going to entirely write that off as a factor (for example, I might of put some more small talk to fill out the scene), but it is how the scenario genuinely played out in my mind. Vicky would naturally get blitzed, and Edwin is both happy to put off the uncomfortable discussion for selfish reasons and because it's a conversation best left for when they're sober.

Plus, there's something nice ending with Vicky realizing Edwin knows without her even having to say it.

But practically speaking, breaking up the reveal (if you can even call it that, considering the dissonance that the player knows ahead of time what's happening and Edwin doesn't) and the resolution gives space to let Edwin do his usual analyzing thing, lean on a relationship variable or two, and cheaply becomes a talking point in between updates.

I agree, that bitch Grace, for the way she treats the MC's mother, should be fucked in the most perverted way possible in front of her brother and son (in a club). Kat could do it? I don't know, include it in the exhibition as warm up...
I kind of hope Killian gives Edwin permission to fuck her shit up, after hearing how she tried to blackmail Victoria. Not sure if it's better if he watches or not, but I expect he would, with his childhood maid giving him head while he watches his egg-donor punished and defiled.

Edited to add: I will admit the Marlow thing is pretty hackneyed. It's hinted at very early in the story, but it's never used to inform Edwin's perspective when it comes to Mina, the threesome with Rosalind, etc when it very well should considering how formative it would be. My hand wave would be Edwin is pretty good at compartmentalizing and has moved past it, but it's honestly just me not factoring it appropriately into the story.
I imagine it could always be included later into the story, now that the cat is out of the bag, so to speak. Maybe precisely because Edwin has potentially re-acknowledged those events. Just like certain aspects of Victoria's porn career apparently bleed eventually through Edwin's mental walls, his ability to avoid pondering on how his first short-lived relationship potentially impacted the recent developments in his life, could eventually run out, too.

Admittedly, V has a very, very cute mug, but I always manage to forget that her head is saddled on a body five or six (conservatively) sizes larger for it. Half of her bloodstream must be PEDs. This is probably where all of the money really went, not on a gym maintenance and renovation.
Just saw this and instantly connected in my mind :D After Powder Blue maybe she will ok with the role in the RL PC movie :D

This game is a sadist which does awful things to its characters and makes people question their morality. I think it can handle an insult or two :whistle:
This game? I suppose you wanted write "this developer"; I think you should handle a vocabulary.

Dev Diary 90

Hello fine people, TD here.

Currently, Ch4Up6 sits at a total of 457 static images, 18 animations, and 11,571 words.

That comes out to 214 images, 0 animations, and 4,691 words since our last diary two weeks ago.

Pretty good progress all things considering GIL had quite a few technical issues to overcome these last couple of weeks. There was complications with his new graphic card, issues with a faulty water heater triggering his breaker, a friend going through a personal crisis, and HoneySelect being a capricious bitch that caught aids. No, I'm not going to explain that last part. I barely understand it myself.

Anyway, all things that can fuck up your groove creatively, but GIL stands on business. I'm always grateful that he's in charge of the hard part of the project.

Other than that, things got a bit changed around around since the last diary. We finished the two important scenes that I mentioned, but a couple more cropped up before we can properly move into Carnation Club business. These were character points I planned on hitting later in the update, but decided on utilizing earlier to better support Edwin's character in the aftermath of a particular revelation, as well as giving him something to draw on during the madness of exhibition 3.

So with that in mind, right now we're working on quite the nice Hana scene. This is an optional one for HanaGF havers: it starts early, and will be a throughline all the way to the end to the closing moments of the update. Players who have been loyal to Hana (or have been happily two timing her) will finally have something to chew on.

After that, we've got a similarly important Mina scene for those who favors quadtails over twintails, predicated on Edwin making a statement toward her during last update’s rock show. Mina is among the characters who needs advancement the most in my opinion. Hell, GIL considers her my redheaded stepchild, despite my protests that I do adore her.

The thing is: she’s got a lot of variability to juggle, and while last update did a nice enough job positioning her in the variety of ways that I need her, she’s always been lacking in the “girlfriend experience.” She’s the only heroine that didn’t get a major date in week 3, and I feel she’s fallen behind in the pursuit of letting other characters take a stab at her. So look forward to a little course correcting with that, Mina enjoyers.

I will stop my rambling now.

As always, thanks for you support. It means a tremendous amount to us.
