I know I'll be in over my head, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
and now this makes it
4 days after I finish these.
Oh good Lord, Misty

... My intention was for you to pick ONE—namely DesertFox's Mazes. That one ALONE will probably take at LEAST 10 hours to finish ... I'm not 100%, because I never timed it, but ... it
could take as much as 20

. I counted like around 50+ "teases" if you "did them all" ...
Alright, well, if you are going to get "stuck" in Mazes, you might as well do it properly ...
Go to these posts from bobhill:

Download the files. Then, place it in the
same folder as the "Mazes" folder. Extract on top of it. (I would do v1.0 first, then v1.1.) It will add and/or replace a few necessary files. (I'm 90% sure this will NOT effect your save state.) This basically adds 15 additional random encounters. You'll be in the maze a while, and, even after you "finish", you'll probably want to go back in, so ... it's worth it.
Then, go to this post by PlayfulGuy:

There is a bug in the Amberleigh2.scr script file (Mazes/Scripts/random_encounters/). He tells you how to fix it. Open up the file in notepad and make that change ...
THEN, there are a few bugs in the Emily Bloom files that I have found that were never patched ...

Mazes/Scripts/triggered_encounters/EmilyBloom.scr ("fields") bugs
(lines might not be exact ... I edited the files to run in PlayfulGuy's script engine separately ...)
DF forgot some spaces which violate syntax rules and could kill the script:

The OTHER big thing you should note, is that GuideMe WILL keep your progress saved if you quit. It keeps the saved state saved I believe in some hidden file on your C: or your user profile ... so, you can exit GM safely. Then, "load" the file, and it should automatically load in where you left off. Here's the thing: if you "restart" the tease from the "File" menu, your saved state will be lost. So, DON'T do that—whatever you do! ALWAYS "load" from the File menu ...
You can edit "User" and "Application" settings from the GuideMe "File" menu to change your name from "DesertFox" to Mistypanda22.
The OTHER thing ... after you complete the Maze, your progress will be saved. The story is kind of long and there is more you can do on a second play through. ALSO, when you go back into the Maze the second time, everything is saved. So, you will pick up from where you left off, so, the girls will remember everything.
I'll be keeping tabs on your progress via this thread. Post once you have installed the bobhill expansion. It JUST adds random encounters, which does NOT impact the story. Also, as you progress through the Maze, you will have to visit every girl once before you will see them again. Keep in mind, the second (and even third) visit is USUALLY different, but NOT always. IF after you have played a girl's tease TWICE *AND* it was the same BOTH times AND you don't really care for it ... I give you permission to DELETE the script from the random_encounters folder. This will NOT impact the game. Basically, the game keeps track of who you visited. It won't send you to the same girl who you have already seen in the "round." Also, it just chooses randomly from all of the .scr files that you have NOT yet played in the "round" and sends you to one of them. So, you can SAFELY delete a script from the random_encounters folder, and you won't get that tease again and everything SHOULD be fine ... but, again, you may ONLY do this if you have played the tease twice, it was the same (more or less) BOTH times AND you didn't like it ... Many of the schefflera ports are identical on the second visit (though DesertFox often added "new" content for the second visit). I'm not sure about the bobhill content.
So, let me know once you have escaped the Maze. Then, I want you to GO BACK IN so that you can get all your "second" visits and MAYBE even unlock some of the thirds ... After you escape TWICE, you can pick it up from the order of maze teases to complete I gave you above ... My "mega tease" involves DF's "Mazes" (Ecik don't read):
- Spoiler: show

Ecik is going to have to "break me out" ... My mega tease for him is HIS perspective of the adventure ... after he "breaks me out", he's going to write the "escape" from MY perspective ... if you are "stuck" in the Maze, it might be fun to have you play his return set for me first (and keep you trapped in maze teases until he publishes that) ... BUT ... I might also have you play my tease for HIM first for the story, but ... I kind of like the idea of you "having to escape" ...
It's kind of like "Do you have a Star Wars virgin watch episodes 1, 2, 3 first, THEN 4, 5, 6? Or, do you have them start with the original trilogy, 4, 5, 6, and then go back to 1, 2, 3, having them watch it in the chronological order they were produced?" No right or wrong answer, but ... for now, keep me posted. I'm *Pretty* confident I can keep you trapped in mazes until his return set gets published ... Actually, I MIGHT just write you a piggyback and combine the two—take a jackknife approach ... we'll see.
Keep me posted!
ALSO, here are some tips for you on the Mazes encounters ...
- Spoiler: show
-
- Foxy Di has like 4 encounters ... 3 for when she is calm and a 4th if you edge for her. So, to get ALL the encounters, you have to make it through all the calm ones ... (That third calm one is SUPER spicy ...)
- Karissa will go "slow" if you choose "tea" and "fast" if you choose "coffee." Once that decision is made, it's set forever until you restart the game from scratch.
- The second/third Jenya encounter where you are "prepared for the worst" is absolutely amazing, IMO ...
- For Sheri_Vi, fail her test to get the second "training" tease which is FANTASTIC ...
