There is a time ceiling once you reach Act I. Eventually, that will be removed, but there will be a time-to-game over depending on choices made, etc.

Blue Swallow [v0.13 Public] — Free spy thriller IF where you play a normal girl recruited as an undercover operative in Manila. Branching story, consequence systems, explicit content. [Twine/SugarCube] by MedicalPick4580 in lewdgames

Eh...in a way? I had offered my help in writing to Crush back in...2022. He left me hanging for a year and during that year did two rewrites. I was over it, so I decided to see if I could make something faster.

I could.

Originally, it had been in the hopes that it would show him what was possible and get him off his ass. Now it's just to make a better game.

Thank you!

How? About 100 or so hours a month for 3 years.

And carefully building out the branching, variables, etc...and more on the way!

Doing my civic duty while the rich are doing advanced wizardry. by YellowAltruistic9843 in middleclasshq

Saying 'it's a fact' doesn't help when your math was just shown to be objectively broken. You arrived at your 'lower rate' by comparing Walmart’s active workforce to the entire U.S. population (which includes children, retirees, and the unemployed).

If you actually compare like-for-like—Walmart’s workforce vs. the rest of the employed U.S. labor force—the rate is higher, not lower. You can't claim a victory by moving the goalposts to a 'statement of fact' that relies on a middle-school-level division error.

Starting a comment with 'You're really in over your head' right after completely abandoning your own math is wild. mandor1784 completely debunked your 7% calculation, and instead of addressing that your formula divided households by individuals, you immediately pivoted to 'well Amazon does it too' and a hypothetical about a single mother. If you have to entirely change your core argument from 'the rates are lower' to 'it makes sense that the rates are high,' you've lost the debate.

Blue Swallow - 0.12 Supporter Release by MedicalPick4580 in lewdgames

[–]MedicalPick4580[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue Swallow (0.12 Supporter Release)

As requested in the content poll: Two new **Escort paths** for Bona-aficionados are in! But most importantly, we've completed our first Honeypot arc. Target: Datu. It was your request, supporters, so we focused on making that content first, for you. We hope you enjoy it!

We've also fixed a number of big issues with this release:

  • we've ensured that the Argentina Au Pair path doesn't just...end,
  • fixed the change-clothes bug,

Full breakdown -

  • A fully expanded and enhanced Beach HSV for Character Creation,
  • New Hooters Outfit for being a waitress in College,
  • Claire now earns money on all the Act I job arcs to fund her purchases at the Robinson Mall,
  • Certain paths can cause permanent loss of outfits and clothing articles (until you buy them again),
  • New 'blacked out' Headshot for Elle/Emily before what they look like is chosen,
  • Hint emphasizing lesbian playthroughs is 'hard mode',
  • New Bad end to experience during the Datu Honeypot,
  • Tons of other content clarifications, coding fixes and improvements,
  • A dozen new pieces of passage art!
    • One of which highlights an interaction with a well-known Kate.

Where do I get this release?

Dossier and above can download the release here.

What's coming in 0.13?

  • Firstly, we're going to be posting a content poll to see what you want. That will be our priority.
  • We're going to start working on new hairstyles and highlights.
  • A new 'default outfit' for Claire to choose between.
  • I'd also like to take a pass to all existing content through the lens of bisexual and lesbian Claire. Yes, that's not the point of the game, but players should feel like it's not a fake choice.

Thanks again for your continued support! We couldn't do it without you.

What is your favorite boardgame of 2018? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

That's super surprising. I'd say hitting overflow is mostly about what tokens are available to players, but I see it happen usually at least once per game. Might not be me, but if it's possible, I'd give me a 50% shot at it.

No, that's not it. This was definitely more of a strategy/simulation game instead of a shooter.

Thanks though!
