I don't think that the developers spend too much time on this. They are trying out various kinds of clothing and other things in renders to see what works and what doesn't. And then they quickly build a superficial story around this to let Patreons decide between the reasonable alternatives. The alternative would be that they do most of the renders anyway, perhaps a bit more quickly because they needn't be so perfect and needn't fit together. But we wouldn't have this rather nice side story that helps bridge the time between updates of the main game.

I do appreciate the meta aspect to patreons now that you lay it out.

I think you're oversimplifying the work that goes into this though. These aren't like simple t poses from a few angles to show off choices, its almost the same amount of work that goes into an actual game. Different poses, expressions, written dialogue, etc. The programming would be simpler because they don't need to fit it into the systems of the main game (like scene gallery, remembering quest progress, etc.) but it's still alot.

Which is honestly fine if the end result feels worth it, and this part is subjective. Like I said I don't think it doesn't feel as substantive as a holiday side story. There was no cute seasonal outfit per character you wouldn't normally see, just like 4-5 sizes of different maid outfits and lingerie. There won't be actual sexual content because then the NTR haters will complain because its not the headmaster. I don't feel like I really learned anything new about Mycock and his secretary that couldn't have been shown in a short scene in the main game.

And yeah that's it in the end really, I would have preferred they spend even half of the time on this side game on the main one. If they want a simple diversion from the main game then they should make a kinetic novel prequel for the headmaster, where there are no choices. That would be a similar amount of work but they could actually cut loose with story, characters, outfits, etc.

I couldn't find the compressed v0.16.4.3, so I did it myself.

• PC (Windows/Linux)
• For Mac: Download the previous version and replace the "game" folder with the one for this PC version.

Thank man, you are a hero. May I ask how much compressed this version is, and will this be saves compatible with the official version ?

I get what you’re saying, but I think you’re mixing up life with storytelling. Life’s all over the place, random, and doesn’t really have a clear ending until it does. But good stories are about SOMETHING and they have structure. They need a beginning, a middle, a climax, and an end (even the ancient Greeks knew that, so it's not a modern thing)

I think that’s a misreading of Greek drama.

It’s early April. Let’s go to the theatre at the Akropolis. Let’s see a tragedy.

In this tragedy, lost to history, Zeus kidnaps Europa for some sexy times. Europa’s brother Cadmus goes searching for her. The Oracle of Delphi tells him to stop searching for his sister and instead to follow a cow, and found a city where it sets down. Thus he founds the city of Thebes.

That’s a story, with an ending, right?

Let’s take in another play.

After the founding of Thebes, Cadmus’ men go to get water at a spring, but a dragon sacred to Ares guards the spring. The dragon slays Cadmus’ men, so he slays the dragon. Ares is furious. For killing the serpent, Cadmus spends eight years serving Ares. Afterwards, as a reward, Ares gives his daughter Harmonia (mothered by Aphrodite) to be Cadmus’ bride.

That’s a story, with an ending, right?

And that’s it for this year’s festival.

We return the next year. Let’s catch another play.

In this play, Cadmus’ daughter Semele gives birth to Dionysus, and later sees Zeus in his true form and dies.

It’s a great play, and it has an ending, right?

And another play is about Cadmus’ grandson Pentheus (this is The Bacchae by Euripides). King Penthus tries to ban the spreading cult of Dionysus. Cadmus’ daughter Agave, drunk and in the throes of Dionysus, rips the head off Pentheus, Cadmus’ grandson.

A complete story with an ending, right?

We catch another play, set elsewhere, in Pisa. King Tantalus invites the gods to a feast. He murders his son Pelops and feeds him to the gods. The gods eat Pelops’ shoulder, but, realizing what they’ve done, they resurrect Pelops and condemn Tantalus to Hades, where he is punished forever, surrounded by delicious food while he starves.

Good play! That’s a story, with an ending, right?

But then we watch another play. Pelops — the same whose shoulder was eaten by gods — is king of Pisa now. He holds court, where he receives a refugee named Laius. Laius is the son of Cadmus (seen before). Laius rapes Pelops’ son Chrysippus, and is cursed for it: he will be murdered by his own son.

Complete story?

We go see another play. Laius reclaims the throne of Thebes, marries Jocasta, has a son named Oedipus…

I’m sure you know THAT play.

And maybe you get the point I’m trying to make?

Because OEDIPUS is AN EPISODE of Greek drama.

It is A PLAY.

It is AN UPDATE, like an update of The Headmaster.

OEDIPUS THE KING is part of an endlessly proliferating series of stories that build a thorough, all-encompassing world of mythologies.

In the Theban cycle, Oedipus’s story is followed by Seven Against Thebes, and then Antigone, and then Oedipus at Colonus.

But the Pisan cycle continues too. Pelops has a son, Agamemnon, you’ve probably heard of him too.

And then there are Orestes and Elektra, the son and daughter of Agamemnon.

Everyone who attended the Greek theatre would return each year expecting UPDATES.

The stories CONTINUED.

Edited to try to keep the transliteration of Cadmus consistently romanized, not Kadmus.

That is her box?! And I wanted to have fun with her box.

You wanted to put something there perhaps?

Better put something in Pandora's box than letting something out of her box (again).

 

[ccxvidonaferens]

Better put something in Pandora's box than letting something out of her box (again).

Yes, but once you've put it in remember you'll never be able to remove it again. You know... for the good of all mankind and all that.

 

[Knight_of_the_lance]

It's fine he's a robot he must have spare parts lying around, perhaps an even better one waiting for the current one to get worn out.
