thank you for making this amazing game. hana and mina both deserve the entire fucking world. i love them both
Agree. I didn't see the troll's post until the replies. I already had him on the ignore list for reasons I can't remember but were probably similar bad behavior. I'll point out that I think it's curious that he insists he's a paying supporter, but chooses to voice his concerns not on Patreon, not on Discord, but on a pirate site. Pirates are fine, but shiver me timbers I can't stand bitchy selfish pirates.This whole argument is stupid. Stop feeding the trolls. The development of Pale Carnations is going at a rapid pace, especially for such a high quality VN with such a high production value. Comopre PC to the most popular AVN currently in development, Being a DIK, which is on track to have a release schedule of 1 episode in 1 and a 1/2 years, whose development will probably finish sometimes next decade at this pace. Sure, PC is a lot lighter on mechanics and variables, but my point still stands. Most games of this scale take 8 months minimum to update if you want any significant content.

All trolling aside, that's something that needs to be stressed. I'm a consultant in the IT industry, and I can't even remember the number of times that the customer management asked me to do what I could to "reduce the development time". Be it adding other people to a project with tasks that require a hefty warm-up and can't be handled in parallel (a.k.a. "nine women can give birth to a child in a month"), or asking people to perform multiple tasks at one, as if stopping-and-going (a.k.a. "context switch") didn't have any overhead or quality implication.An update we release in one month, apart from the question narrative coherence, would be roughly 1/4th the size of what we release in 4 months. Actually, releasing four updates over 4 months would probably have less content, due to stop-and-go aspect and releasing builds coming with its own administrative time sinks. At the very least, it would inform the pacing of events in a way that would be a detriment to the project's quality.
That wouldn't fit either Hana nor her place at the club now (and I seriously doubt August would let that happen in the first place).I really hope that the dev has planned a way soon where Hana would be exposed during the shows, doing sexual things, I don't want her to just be a judge, I want her to participate. Besides, is a show planned for the upcoming update?

The upcoming patch will be set at a Wednesday, so the next show will likely be like 1-2 patches out, depending on how much will be happening the remainder of the in-game week.
I mean...sure, TD could be really evil and somehow drag in Hana and possibly even Mina as well. Then again the club has some level of at least free will. Like the women aren't technically raped for example. They are there on their own free will and they can (at least as far as I can see) also leave if they want. Could this change if shit really hits the fan? Sure.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
You sound kinda similar to Warren describing how Hana is untouchable during his conversation with Kathleen where that was her response...I mean...sure, TD could be really evil and somehow drag in Hana and possibly even Mina as well.

But right now there is no tag that would indicate anything along those lines and Hana herself surely wouldn't join the show as a more direct participant. She seems to be disgusted enough just by having to be there.
I think her plan seems to be to break Hana morally as in having her coming up with and leading shows (basically doing Kat's job), not taking the part of a Carnation in those shows.You sound kinda similar to Warren describing how Hana is untouchable during his conversation with Kathleen where that was her response...
She is refuting Warren's claim that their hands are tied in regard to a path of physical coercion (spanking )I think her plan seems to be to break Hana morally as in having her coming up with and leading shows (basically doing Kat's job), not taking the part of a Carnation in those shows.
I have to play that scene again, but that was probably after the pool incident? I think the situation has changed now due to Hana essentially being Warren's boss.She is refuting Warren's claim that their hands are tied in regard to a path of physical coercion (spanking )
Yea after the pool scene. The implication is that Edwin will be vital in whatever her plan is there. Doubt the situation has changed too much, we might just be at the next step.I have to play that scene again, but that was probably after the pool incident?

Oh, it has changed. Hana now owns more of the club than Kat.Yea after the pool scene. The implication is that Edwin will be vital in whatever her plan is there. Doubt the situation has changed too much, we might just be at the next step.
In terms of hana's corruption I can see 2 things happening:Yea after the pool scene. The implication is that Edwin will be vital in whatever her plan is there. Doubt the situation has changed too much, we might just be at the next step.
Kat believes that Hana will effectively replace August, and regardless of what happens in the next few weeks/months, change will come. I can't figure out Kat's ultimate goal, whether to fully unfetter herself with the new management, or transforming the club into her ultimate utopian vision and then retiring, having established her legacy. Oh she'll no doubt return as an exhibition spectator if she does retire.I think her plan seems to be to break Hana morally as in having her coming up with and leading shows (basically doing Kat's job), not taking the part of a Carnation in those shows.
I don't think Kat's master plan revolves around Edwin's mommy issues. One clould argue that having Edwin around may make Hana more comfortable, but Edwin might not even be friends with Hana, or even worse for Kat, a good Edwin may steer Hana away from the club. Sure, she's using Rose to pull the heartstring on Edwin's Vicky shaped heart, and Kat personally calling Victoria gets to Edwin no matter his alignment. But I still think that's a flimsy foundation of a business takeover. I think Edwin's been a curiosity for Kat, as his many weaknesses, most of which revolve around our favorite pornstar, appeal to Kat's predatory instict. And while she can't overtly fuck with him because of Chuck, she still enjoys poking at his wounds using Rose as the weapon, knowimg damn well he's gonna fall for the bait. Since Victoria never got famous by pornstar standards, and returned to a low key life without much fuss, my theory is that August informed Kat about Edwin's mom, as he's probably deeply acquainted with Ms Turner. It just makes no sense to me that kad did such a thorough background check for a helping hand, especially since Chuck personally vouched for him. But I digress.Kat believes that Hana will effectively replace August, and regardless of what happens in the next few weeks/months, change will come.

She does seem to be wanting Hana to replace her, but again, I don't know if that's the goal, especially since she seems more committed to making Edwin her heir. If Kat is planning to stay for a long time, then Kat's logical strategy, knowing Hana's initial attitude toward the club, would be to make Hana invested not just financially, but in heart and mind. If Hana has had personal "investment" in the amenities, and thus has personal guilt/responsibility, not just associative, then she will be disarmed in viewing "those evil people who need to be taken down," when she is now one of those "evil people" by both shareholder, and participant, making it a lot harder for Hana to go through with "burning the house down". I obviously don't know TD's intentions, nor the depth of Kat's master planning, but it does seem like one of Kat's strategies in transforming Hana is giving her a sob story to root for, thus showing/convincing her that the Club is indeed helpful to women, not solely degrading. Thus she gets Rose, who strikes at Hana's sympathetic heartstrings, and Edwin, counting on him favoring Rose due to his background, which leads him to helping her specifically, thus Kat decides before Rose and Edwin are at the Club that Rose will win the competition.
Naturally the problem is this might take away too much player agency, so I don’t know if TD has planned this. The counter-argument could be made that the player agency comes in with Edwin choosing whether or not to help Rose, thus rejecting her muddles Kat's plans, forcing her to adjust. It can also be suggested that Kat also choose Felicia, being a sex-fanatic peer to Hana competing for a good time, and Veronica, the image of a strong independent woman crossing the finish line standing tall and "undegraded" thus challenging Hana's paradigm. Yes, Veronica had to qualify, but that was so clearly one-sided in focusing on endurance tests, so Lucy never had a shot.
