Post-release information
Added 2020-06-05 11:40:57 +0000 UTCThank you all for your generous support and feedback!
I've been busy correcting the bugs/typos you've found, writing the walkthrough and started episode 6 development.
I wanted to address a few common questions that I've gotten this last week.
My answers to these questions are:
- Steam gets full seasons, not individual episodes.
- Steam saves aren't compatible with the Patreon version, vice versa.
- You can't patch the Steam version, you will get errors.
- The Steam walkthrough, pressing 'g' key version, is exclusive to Steam during development.
- The walkthrough will be released sometime during June. I'm currently trying to optimize the development by getting episode 6 up and rolling, render-wise, and finding time to write the walkthrough.
Please, keep reporting any bugs or typos you find. I appreciate it very much and I rather hear a report too many times than no time at all.
Next Friday, $5 tier patrons get access to the patch to upgrade their game from v0.4.0/v0.4.1/v0.4.2 to v0.5.0. If you don't have any of those versions, you will need to get the game from the $10 tier and then you can patch the game in the future. I can't release the full game for the $5 tier because of Steam rules.
After all tiers have gotten access to v0.5.0 the polls for episode 6 will start.
Have a nice weekend!

There seem to be a lot of people who want to add voiceovers. I can think of at least two reasons not to add this element. One is that we would no longer be able to name the MC and we would no longer be able to create pet names for use during the lewd scenes, which are two features I like very much. The second reason is that bad voiceovers are much worse than no voiceovers. DPC would need to hire talented professional voice actors who also can speak perfect English (American accented English, no less, since the game seems to be set in the USA). It may also be a bit more challenging to find talented voice actors willing to voice a sex game. Assuming talented voice actors able to speak American English and willing to voice lewd scenes can be found, they will not come cheap. I, for one, like creating the voices in my head.

2020-06-13 06:22:47 +0000 UTCHey doc I have a weird flex of a question, but do you think somewhere down the lines do you plan to implement voice acting to your work. Because I think that would put your work into a while knew tier of awesomeness
2020-06-13 03:19:27 +0000 UTCPlease don't kill anyone..please..

2020-06-12 07:54:32 +0000 UTCIs there any place to see patch notes? To see the difference between 5.0 and 5.1?
2020-06-12 07:51:41 +0000 UTCI would love to have the second date with Jill in episode 6 *_* either cooking for her, playing the song, going to her concert, anything with her that works towards a relationship. We didn't get a "sweet hot love" scene because we have to take it slow with our best girl; she's not shy about kissing though, she didn't go for the cheek this time =) Even if I want more with her, I like the pacing.

2020-06-12 02:09:47 +0000 UTCYeah! I am that friend. I can't wait.
2020-06-11 08:23:32 +0000 UTCThe more I play, more I like Jill and Bella. So I'm hoping it's either Bella or Jill.

2020-06-10 23:11:29 +0000 UTC"Sweet hot love" is probably when you play the song with her
Jayden
2020-06-10 16:28:02 +0000 UTCprobably Jill
Jayden
2020-06-10 07:29:08 +0000 UTCWonder whats the Docs Fav Character... Hm thoughts?

2020-06-09 20:23:03 +0000 UTC*probable-spoiler alert* you do realise she's gonna be the psycho that flips out n kills everyone, and her husband is currently trapped in her 'locked room', right?

2020-06-09 12:10:13 +0000 UTCThank you for creating the perfect woman - Isabella
DogCat
2020-06-09 03:49:35 +0000 UTCRemember, it's the third date...according to her understood rules of dating. ;o)
Nobuddy
2020-06-08 23:37:12 +0000 UTCwhen do we get the "sweet hot love" with Jill scene? asking for a friend.
Jdog
2020-06-08 22:18:55 +0000 UTCflashback isabella, just wow like really
thami
2020-06-08 11:35:50 +0000 UTCIs it just me or does Jacob resembles Michael B Jordan with the Killmonger hair cut in Black Panther? hahah
Jayden
2020-06-07 07:55:24 +0000 UTCI second that comment
Nobuddy
2020-06-07 02:40:19 +0000 UTCi was hoping we might get a story arc with Sally from the Nerds
Martin Gilchrist
2020-06-07 02:10:55 +0000 UTCI liked that comment about other HOTs as well. Gives me hope for the likes of Riona, Carmila, Lily, and maybe even Sarah, but I doubt that last one.
Ardor
2020-06-07 00:40:54 +0000 UTCThanks for the feedback. I've tested the timing thoroughly. A tip is to go for the middle on the arrow's way back down instead of the way up. It gives you a better reaction time. I'll look into the timer and see if it can be tweaked slightly. This is the first report I've gotten that it's not enough, this far.
DrPinkCake
2020-06-06 22:20:59 +0000 UTCI agree, hopefully the next chapter explores more into the details of Isabella's life, and more on the relationship that Isabella and Jill have.

2020-06-06 20:34:56 +0000 UTCjust finished all my playthroughs with different girls as goal, i just love this game, one thing tho, as th MC mention himself at the end of chapter 5 at bella when thinking of girls he should go for, maybe other HOTS. i RLY wish for an outcome where you can get to date camilla or maybe one of the others... but Camilla is my favorite... other than that keep up making this GREAT game.
raider_manhc
2020-06-06 20:27:36 +0000 UTCWould you be willing to check the timing of the cooking mini-game? It looks to me as if I'm clicking in the center of the green, but the pancakes always end up burned. Also, would you be willing to extend the timing on the painting mini-game? Or give us an option in the settings to do that? My arthritis slows me considerably. Other than those two issues, Episode 5 is fantastic as usual. Excellent work.

2020-06-06 18:11:42 +0000 UTCI cant wait to continue one of my journeys with Jill, she is the most beautiful character in my opinion! And doc, if i had the money, i would have been your top Patreon! Keep up the amazing work!
Sho
2020-06-06 17:45:57 +0000 UTCcan we really be sure its mel? that's the thing hahaha its still a mystery
Jayden
2020-06-06 08:37:52 +0000 UTCLol after that tube scene with her, she kind of weird to me lol, and i think its melanie. She's trying hard to get him. So she's taking matters in her own hands. Bet she's tired of playing the side chick
2020-06-06 08:26:57 +0000 UTCGive me some Arieth love for the giggles and Heather to piss of Tommy that maggt
Jayden
2020-06-06 07:37:57 +0000 UTCim curious to see which girl gets all the love now in ep6. so far, all the love might be going to sage with isabella right behind. my poor jill wont be repeating again sadly. Watch for camilla tho, she lowkey my backup girl
2020-06-06 07:04:35 +0000 UTCAside from anger issues she’s a babe
Jayden
2020-06-06 03:18:04 +0000 UTCSide note I’m actually a big Sage fan. She’s the only one besides Isabella that’s actually always there when the MC needs support
Kauinoa
2020-06-06 01:15:17 +0000 UTCWait there’s a walkthrough in the steam version? Huh who knew lol. Great work Dr Pinkcake. I actually bought it on steam and then came and joined your Patreon and replayed everything just for episode 5. Couldn’t get enough of the story and everything. Now I can’t wait to see what happens next, especially with Tommy and Quinn and all of their associated dramas haha
Kauinoa
2020-06-06 01:13:29 +0000 UTCyes I agree!
Ruthless
2020-06-06 00:37:01 +0000 UTCDid anyone else experience this? Please comment. It sounds like your PC is struggling with the animations to me. I haven't experienced any choppy music or laggy animations in that part. And it isn't different in any regard to any other lewd scene. I.e, same resolution and image processing. Can you test to play that part again, but in windowed mode. Does it improve? (if it does, it's your GPU struggling)
DrPinkCake
2020-06-06 00:21:09 +0000 UTCDont stress with the walkthrough. Focus on the episodes and renders. The walkthrough will come eventually:) keep up the good work doc! Cheers
Sho
2020-06-05 23:18:47 +0000 UTCEp 5 is incredible! You are a god <3
Guilherme
2020-06-05 22:42:22 +0000 UTCSame here. It will be worth the wait when it lands. Contradiction maybe? Perhaps. But yeah, like you I can't wait to play it, but don't want to rush the man's work.
Ardor
2020-06-05 21:48:37 +0000 UTCFirst before I get into re-posting my bug report here, I just want to say that after playing through 8 episode 4 saves with episode 5 update, that I am still enjoying the game, the story, all of it. And once again, I love your work ethic. And thank you for giving us more Riona, Camila, and now Lily as well. Much appreciated. .........Bug Report. This only happens in the Yoga scene with Jill and Bella at Bella's. The music will often get a little choppy and the renders/animations do not often transition smoothly like the rest of the game. Once Bella leaves, if I choose to stay with Jill, it has cleared up by that point. I am using the PC version with Zorin OS 15 (linux based on unbuntu).

2020-06-05 15:36:22 +0000 UTCDPC, where do you like bugs/typos to be reported, over here somewhere or rather in a PM? Greetings...
2020-06-05 14:17:38 +0000 UTCI know what you mean, I only found this game about a week ago and have already played through 3 times and now I actually miss the characters, I get pulled into the story and forget I’m playing a game.
Jimmy Waterman
2020-06-05 13:43:36 +0000 UTCThe update is awesome. But please, Isabella... More.... more scenes from Isabella.
Waber
2020-06-05 13:37:00 +0000 UTCit’s the first time in my life that a game makes me feeling so empty after playing it and leave me begging for more 🙃
2020-06-05 13:30:13 +0000 UTCKeep up the awesome work!
2020-06-05 13:21:53 +0000 UTCWaiting for poll 😉

2020-06-05 11:59:51 +0000 UTCJust finished ep 5 last night. Don't think a game has ever left me wanting so much more. Thank you very much Doc, keep up the amazing job. It's worth every single penny!
