Steve Vlog: Thoughts on Act 3 Part 3, Act 4, The Patreon Hub & More

Overall the update was great imo , for your long run and thoughts and direction of the game seems clear the only issue i see that might come up to bite you is if your taking too many of the suggestions from Us as a voting group that some characters that others may like get tossed to the back burner for the group that votes the most into something say doing something with Lindsey over and over for a few months in a row if you get my drift idk if u add in all the things people vote on in but if so itll start to shift the game to a one way only type of game instead of branched and choices.. only other real issue i see is for alot of people that dont want a thing to do with Lauren that she keeps being pushed shoved into doing things with mc even if the player choices made towards her was a cold shoulder and didnt wanna do anything remotely with her. So maybe a pathing choice where itll only focus towards the ones you wanna deal with or a cheat menu or menu in general to choose who to deal or the ones your interested in and have it branch and story out from there from player choices and interactions. Idk how to explain it better so hopefully you get the gist of what im getting at lol.

Suggestion Box - A in game Phone app/game that you can play that rewards you with a choosen KCT stat point.. so for those who are struggling to meet a required KCT level to proceed with a certain girl or event.. play a few mobile games before the scene you need and allocate the reward point to the stat you want to work on switching to

curious if the idea of a female 'styled' fight club had ever been considered.. i often wondered from a story stand point what events could lead to a 5th faction (2 sororities, plus the wolves and apes) with a 5th frat-ority emerging.. break the mould and have a co-ed faction on campus possibly featuring defectors from each side and led by the mc to settle the score against all parties.. it would be fun to see the likes of Linds with her mule kick squaring off against chole in a hair pulling cat scratching enviroment, and maybe even an intergender team event allowing mc to partner with his favourite girl against a duo of equal hate or vengence.. ie Mc and Nora Vs Chris and Chloe..

Suggestion Box - Riley new hair style (based on the estimated length of her current hair) Allow her to let her hair down more often, id guess depending on how the character creation works??? that the emo styled side wave would fit her quite well.. best example i can give is the GF in stay true stay you or lead singer Lisa in become a rock star, dont think ive seen any characters, side, background or main cast have it yet so it would still be an individual look for her and may diffuse her face a little to bring it up to the others standards.. if nothing else give it a try and screenshot it for opinions :) - EDIT it looks slightly like Nora's but more emo and swept over to the other side of the face

Crowangel Gaming

I got that vibe from them too.

Thanks for making Aubs a bigger character in the game. Always loved her but had written her off due to being an ancillary character.

FireWalkWithMe23

dont knw how i didnt see this sooner but are Ryan and Imre beavis and butthead? lol

Crowangel Gaming

We did have. The same amount of sex scenes, maybe they were too difficult to get

College Kings

Act 3 part 2 was just the best, however act 3 part 3 kinda ruined it for me, for some reason I did not unlock any scenes in the last part which was just disappointing. I look forward to see an Act 3 part 2 again.

Not sure but we have a lot of frat stuff planned for act 5 specifically

College Kings

Thank you so much! Definitely something I need to think about! Much love!

College Kings

I think there might be a misunderstanding, the scene creator is simply a tool where you can put in suggestions but in a more streamlined fashion

College Kings

additional Question - are Frat Upgrades in the future as i cant help but feel like im living at my nan's sometimes when seeing the decor of the Wolves frat house.. loved the bedroom update and cant wait to see the house a bit more to date

Crowangel Gaming

love the videos thanks for the update <3

After speaking with my wife about pretty much what i just said in preious posts (she is my sounding board on most crazy or sound ideas i have had lol) it occured to me after putting things into better explination so she could understand the feeling behind the thoughts that my best way to explain the work backwards idea was to ask you the developers if there was anything YOU wish had been added to the game during its lengthy past thus far.. Are there elements of the game you wanted to add but couldnt because of time constraints, financial resources at the time or techical know how that in present day is now possible.. I understand wanting to make the best possible creation as im a writer in my free time and ive lost count of the amount of times ive abandoned a writen work then gone back and rewrote elements to make it better which has then resulted in a new lease of life on what i was working on.. The same applies to College Kings, While i appreciate getting the monthly update is key to growth, I also see a market for your team in doing all those things you didnt get to do in the past.. Think of it like a chance to time travel to change things in your past that back in the day you neither had the support, knowledge or money to do.. College kings has the chance to be THE BEST college sim & Story.. and as a DIK fan thats saying something (even if the literal meaning of that sentence is going to haunt me forever lol) Emotion of character drives these AVNs as much as the adult NSFW scenes.. Were all looking for escapism in these novels or to experience things in life that we are missing or have missed.. as said before for me it was the opportunity to experience that americana life tht i love from the movies, I suffer from social anxiety and depression resulting in my not having left the house for over 4 years well before covid and work like yours is my escapism especially when having bad days.. I'd guess that for many others a similar case may exist too although i wont push this to be a 'lets share' meeting.. suffice to say You are doing GOOD work and for whatever reasons people are drawn to your avn its obviously working, Just dont be afraid to look to your past, see what you wanted to do but couldnt nd dont be afraid to tell us to wait a month if there is something that you really want to go back and do instead of pushing onwards and never getting to see your goals fulfilled or improved

Crowangel Gaming

as much fun as creating my own scenes would be great im more a ideas man and writing skill than practical animation.. id love to help out in any of those two ways if ever need to boune any ideas around tho

Crowangel Gaming

So glad to hear! Much love!

College Kings

There's a similar thing with choices. Just having a lot of pathing (meaning lots of different options and choices), doesn't make an update meaningful on its own. There needs to be a lot more to it, and I think we're doing that a lot better in Act 4, cause we're starting to get a better understanding of how that works!

College Kings

lmao genius idea

College Kings

We are 100% working on that, it's difficult cause we do have a lot of girls, but we want to increase the feeling of truly being with someone, especially if you're in a relationship.

College Kings

Hey thanks for your honesty! I wanna be very clear that just because things get a lot of upvotes, it doesn't mean we will implement it. When we're doing plot, often we struggle to come up with enough exciting scenes to be very selective. So more input means we can be more selective and only choose the best ones. For example, if an update is 80 scenes and we come in with 100 scene ideas, then we can only disregard the worst 20%. However if we have 160 scene ideas (60 from patrons), as well as a clear idea which ideas are favoured by you guys, we can disregard the worst 50%, meaning we can be a LOT more selective, which makes updates better. Often we have two options and we make decisions based on what we think the community wants, especially when it's less important decisions (for example who to give as options for the concert and how many options to give.) this is something that we could have done better if we had more insights ahead of time. Thanks for your support and I hope this helps you feel a bit more excited about it!

College Kings

It's interesting that you think Riley doesn't look up to standard, she is technically the same model generation as all the others, I wonder if it's the hair. Also wonder if that's a popular opinion. This is where voting would come in handy. For updating past things we do have amendments and fix stuff from the past but it's more of a part time effort than a full team as we don't have enough people to do that.

College Kings

You know what, bugs or no bugs, I really enjoy this game and seeing the different dynamics between characters to the point of me saying at times: "Damn! I have no idea what or who to choose", and I love that because it always makes me think of a different choice to take next round. I'll keep playing till you stop making updates/Acts. Keep it up and keep chasing the sky guys!

While size matter for me it's more about if it's meaningfull. If not you can easily think it was an empty update independently of render number. To give only one exemple the ending is very nice but it's like "oh cool it's happenning .... after I fall from a rock?" when it could have been "Yeah I finally did it!!!" if it was the MC who made it happen. Maybe could even be done with less renders and feel better.

Neptune

I think what we all really want is.... Cut out the faces on the pre-rendered sex scenes so we can take selfies and add ourselves in. I mean, can you imagine me with Chloe's body? Hubba-hubba! And to then have her/me having sex with also me? ZOMG~! Nothing's hotter than that!

Mike Smith

Learning to create my own scene could be fun, I don't need it to go into the game though. Unless it's just awesome well then I wouldn't mind...but I don't have that high of an opinion of my unknown level of skill in this area haha.

Carmelion

Additionally regarding backtracking content - Id like to see more romance/date/hook up moments between those who you have followed the path for.. It felt like momentum was building on a few character runs only to then not have any contct for days on end and next time you saw them it felt like the scenes ignored the fact you two had gotten closer than just friends or FWB EG it always bothered me at the Freshman fight that your current love interest if anybody other than Linds was not there to wish you luck/talk you out of it/support you.. instead it felt like a forced attempt to make the player go on a linds path

Crowangel Gaming

I won't lie, i'm very skeptical about both your Patreon Hub in general and your idea to let people suggest and vote on scenes in particular. I'll give you a chance to prove me wrong of course, because I really like the game, but I just don't know about it. Maybe it's ultimately only one scene that's being voted on, then it won't matter too much, but i'm afraid that it will change the game too much (to the negative) and will probably also divide your fanbase, because you can't possibly please everyone and give them what they want without denying other what they want. Also, I think it will increase the pressure on you guys a lot and that's maybe my biggest takeaway/worry from your video. You have a lot of ideas and things you want to implement, take care of and whatnot while keeping your regular schedule, which might be too much. Hopefully i'm wrong on all accounts, but i don't really get a good feeling from your plans. That being said, i'm still looking forward to the next act and want to thank you guys for your hard work and love you put in the game and your video, because I do like the insight.

Despite my 1st comments regarding the issues with a London-less London my overall opinions on this game are very positive.. I still wish there would be a team that could add content and update/fix things in the base game so that not only will replaying the game be more rewarding to see new content, updated content on any future full runthroughs, a few character updates would be great too especially for such a major charactr like Riley.. i love this character but it feels like her looks are like a last gen graphics compared to other bombshells like Chloe and Nora, Aubrey etc.. yes their characters are supposed to be sexy and sultry looking but If you want a consistent looking game then the other characters also need updating right the way back to opening moments of the game.. even giving riley and others new hairstyles from time to time too.. im trying not to favour Riley in all this but as a example giving tool she is my best way to show what could or needs updating in past and future content.. I look forward to the future and a LONG game future with no easy cop-outs..

Crowangel Gaming

I agree completely that having only two choices was a bit disappointing. On the whole the update was good.

Joseph M Smith

That’s understandable. I think for a lot of us it’s that we had an idea that the prize from Mr Lee would be like Homecoming where we are had more than a binary choice, stuff like that.

Mike Bean

Thank you so much! Due to the beginning middle and end structure of acts, part 2's will always be best set up for amazing scenes where as part 1's & 3's will do a lot of the heavy lifting for setup and story. Of course we aim to make every update as exciting as possible, but we prioritize making acts as a whole feel cohesive, which can sometimes make individual updates feel less exciting.

College Kings

I came into Act 3 part 3 with a lot of negative feelings, I won’t lie about that. Coming after the blockbuster that was part 2, I was expecting a lot. Probably a lot more than I should have. The hot fixes made Act 3 part 3 a lot more cohesive. I am looking forward to Act 4 and beyond
