February '19 Polls
Added 2019-02-13 08:44:44 +0000 UTCHello patrons and welcome to the monthly polls for February 2019!
This month's polls will focus on the Gallery mechanics!
Currently, the Gallery works by storing scenes that you've already encountered in-game. Naturally, this means people who play the game a certain way (ie. solving problems with non-sexual routes) don't unlock the scenes at all.
Some players prefer it this way, while others complained this discourages them from playing the "safe" route.
Another notable issue is that given the way it's currently structured, it's impossible to complete the Gallery since some routes branch off from others completely.
As such, this month's polls are to determine if we should make changes to the Gallery.
The first solution, and simplest solution, is to add payable unlocks, similar to how Monster Tokens and the Menagerie works. Essentially, since there is the ability for Claire to make a surplus of silvers, and there's not much places to spend them on, why not have the ability to "buy" scenes using silvers? Depending on each scene's initial unlock difficulty, the amount you need to unlock them will vary.
The second solution is to have progression unlocks. We tested something similar with the Prologue, where completing the Prologue gives you the ability to unlock all scenes from the Prologue. The idea would be that completing an entire major questlines would trigger an unlock for a whole group of scenes at once (even those you haven't seen before from an alternate route).
The third solution is to have unconditional unlocks. Let me explain - let's say Claire can solve a situation by offering a sexual favour, or completing a non-sexual task. However, regardless of how you approach the situation, once it's solved (even if you did it with a non-sexual method) the sexual scene will unlock in the Gallery.
And of course the fourth solution is simply to let the Gallery remain as-is, with no change!

Hey I am trying to run this game on mac and I am using wine but could anyone tell me how to open the game using wine?
2019-02-19 01:53:05 +0000 UTCPersonally, I'd really like the chance to navigate between previous chapters, and unlock scenes that I missed, but without changing the overall outcome of my playthrough, similar to Life is Strange's collector mode

2019-02-14 21:24:31 +0000 UTCI liked what you did with the prologue gallery. More of that system would be nice...and maybe some hints to guide us in the right direction regarding missing scenes. I'd rather not have scenes I haven't seen unlock on their own as in the Unconditional. It's nice to replay as a different Claire to find those. Would take some of that extra incentive away if they unlocked in 1 playthrough imo, but that's just me.
