That one was great, need to pick it up again.

Sup guys. Really enjoying the game so far, but I gotta ask, how fleshed out are the slave routes, compared to the Vanilla or Sub ones?

Only a couple of the route splits have happened so far, but there's going to be roughly equal content on all three routes for each main girl. The side girls won't have path splits, they have smaller stories that are just on/off (follow side girl's path = see girl's story; don't follow side girl's path = don't see girl's story).

The paths aren't just "pick path in a single meta-decision for each girl and go from there", the path entries are all based on decisions you as a player make about whether the MC romantically cares about the girl (often locks out Slave path), and whether he punishes the girl (often locks out Romance path).

Lots of lewd scenes will appear in multiple paths, too. Like there'll be a scene flagged as Rom/Sub, same visuals for each and slightly different dialogue, or Sub/Slave, with again the same visuals for each and different dialogue.

Clear, thanks!

Great game so far, looking forward to updates

 

[Fluilo]

can u use update only for updating the compressed version?

can u use update only for updating the compressed version?

Almost unquestionably no. Atem didn't make the Compressed version, so it would not be compatible with the update-only patch.

thanks for the reply, unfortunately theres a savefile issue on the 23 release so i had to redownload the entire game and restarting it anyway

It's a little complicated for me, with a lot of branches

You don't really need to worry too much about the branches. It feels like it branches farther than it really does, because the game pays attention to what you choose (with a few exceptions). In the general sense, the branches for each girl work like this:

• If you want Romance, choose against punishments for the girl, and choose the nice or romantic dialogue choices.
• If you want Submission, choose to punish the girl, but also choose the nice or romantic dialogue choices.
• If you want Slave, choose to punish the girl and choose the meaner or non-romantic dialogue choices.

The in-game walkthrough, if you don't have it turned on, is extremely detailed and informative. If it doesn't pop up for a choice, it really is just your choice.

Also, if it helps with FOMO, at the end of current content, there's always an option to unlock the scene and onion galleries (and maybe the phone picture gallery).

I'm almost scared for this game. It's so freaking good for as new and rather short as it is. I truly hope the dev doesn't get bored or run into issues because it could eventually be on the small list of top tier games. It has everything it needs to succeed. The crazy little director guy is awesome and Sasha somehow became my favorite. I can't wait to spank Olivia though.

He's definitely not getting bored. He's a bit of a perfectionist, though nowhere near as bad as Glacerose, and significantly more talented. Also, props to Sasha-is-best-girl gang, I've been a part of that group for a long time, and likely will be right up until [REDACTED] finally joins the game.

 

[NateDawg59]

Perfectionist can also be dangerous to the health of a game, but here's to hoping he has massive success with Stormside.

Hope more contents about orgasm control.(those collars had great potentials.)

Yeah I really hope the punishment system doesn't get left behind, because to me it's half the reason for the game. I want to find out why some random in 1940s detective clothing is watching me, but not if it's gonna cost me some "training" with my students.

The punishment system won't get left behind. It's a big focus for the dev in creating the game, too, and it's literally at the heart of the sub and slave routes for the girls, since punishment is the definition of how to get on those routes.

 

[NateDawg59]

I'm hoping for that, yeah. A lot of good games start out with great ideas but as time goes on stories change, characters change, devs get lazy. Same ol same ol. I know the dev probably will cut back on it as time goes on, but I also love these little 4th wall breaks he does. The one in the main room of the dorms where he said he didn't have the GPU power to make it was hilarious.

I'm not just speculating or hoping: I talk to the dev of this game pretty regularly, so I am actually speaking from some authority here when I say that the punishment system is one of his biggest priorities for the game. It isn't just a random idea he had that he doesn't have any plans for using in the future, it's literally one of the main points of the game, and he knows it.

I don't know if somethings wrong with my download but I went the full slave route and all you got to do was "spank" but when I checked the gallery it has many scenes that say "Slave Version" that just didn't happen. For example Riley... She has many Punishment scenes plus sex scenes (one sex scene says slave version) but when I played you spanked her once and that was it. It feels like half the story is missing, I played some gallary scenes and the mc was much more aggressive and forcefull like it was a completely different atmosphere to what actually happened in my gameplay. However the version is the current version. Has this happened with anyone else? I'm confused.

Same. Not sure why.... (But I didn't think to post and ask... DOH)

There is a lot of scene variation in this game. You will not see all scenes in one playthrough (even on a particular route for a particular girl), and a lot of factors go into which scenes you do see. You can unlock all scenes at the end of current content if you want to see the routes or variations you didn't pick.

As for why you didn't see particular scenes, it means you made choices that ended up not showing those scenes (or, far more likely, made choices that ended up showing you a different scene instead). For Riley in particular, there are something like eight variations on the aftermath of the party, if it's those scenes.

Best option: turn on the in-game walkthrough, use its guidance to head toward the routes you want for your playthrough, then unlock and watch variations when you've caught up. You are quite literally guaranteed not to see all scenes in a single playthrough, but there are a lot of scenes regardless.
