What's next?

Version 0.10, planned for September 10, will be a story-focused update. It will include, at least, Chapters 21 and 22. With Chapters becoming longer with each update (Chapters 19 and 20 are both longer than Acts 1, 2, 3 or 4), I can't promise 3 chapters by update anymore. But one of these two chapters (I'm not quite sure of the order I'll use) should be quite large.

See you!

No. I was planning to mention her in what's currently Chapter 23, but because 21 & 22 became too big, I had to split 23 in two. She'll be mentioned in 24 in theory, and may have a role in version 0.12 (I'm not 100% sure though, as I avoid planning too far in advance).

Le Stag

I played the new update, but i did not see her mentioned. Did i just miss it somewhere?

Lesdothis

New update

Aliya Shaikh

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

Lesdothis

That's deliberate. Some people wanted a chance to be the first one to do anal, other wanted Nathan to be the first, other thought she should have already done it. So I gave everyone a way to have what they wanted. It makes the story incoherent when replayed, but on a single run, it allows you to define Laura's past.

Le Stag

Hi Le Stag, I noticed a small inconsistency, if you say you have had anal with Laura she says you weren't the first one, but if if you say you havent she says nobody has. Was that intentional for future paths?

Lesdothis

I think the context is quite clear that, if Laura and Nathan sounds condescending, it's because they were roleplaying at the time. It make sense for the progression I think, the power dynamic hasn't yet evolve to the point where mc has to be in a sub position in every play, if it will ever reach that point.

Cheng

Hey what about mc relationship with ash?

Utkarsh Pratap Singh

Hey man. Picture app is frozen, we can't scroll down

Trung Hà

yes you are right. I don't know if it's the same with other guys but I started to have this problem after version 0.8 or 0.7

crownwell

if it helps, it didn't do it on 0.6

Bab Bnot

Are you having trouble deciding if she's going to be a lesbian partner for Laura, a love interest for the MC or a threesome partner for Laura and Nathan? Or perhaps all three? 🤣 My personal preference is love interest for MC. I can't wait for the next update. I've really been enjoying this so far. Keep up the good work!

Lesdothis

I'm trying to look into it, but the fact that Android doesn't keep a log of errors is not helping me much. :/

Le Stag

She'll be mentioned in the next update, and should have a role later. I'm still on the fence about the way to use her exactly, as I wouldn't want the game to go too far away from the initial idea.

Le Stag

Hi Le Stag, you had mentioned and introduced Joanna a while back saying she will be an important character in the future. Will she be featured in the next update?

Lesdothis

Here too

Winter

in the android version, after the unity screen, you see a gray screen for a while and then the game closes

crownwell

It's complicated on Android

Draika

Have you tried holding ctrl

Volare!

There is a missing button to skip the dialogues, having to wait for the dialogues to pass after having played the game several times becomes boring.

Draika

Game development can be a finicky thing even if it seems at first to be simple. The past months have been updates focusing on bug fixing which is always an ongoing battle for developers. The guy is only human not a supernatural being that can his/her will be done instantly.

WhereElseButHere

You are right, you said that, i took that as a promise which i shouldn't have. I was a bit dissappointed on story progression after 6 weeks of waiting. For that i am sorry. The last part with Nathan felt like a bit acting, he jumped on the matter out of nowhere like "have you ever..." which should've been discussed betweeb Laura and MC first, that'd definitely be more istense and natural, you know... Anyways i am a fan dude... and you have to be prepared to get some salt after makin' such a gorgeous game.

Me android 13 and the application cuts off just after by unity

Bab Bnot

Good update with new interesting events. Just want to share some of my thoughts about the story/vibe: Ch.19 There was too much acting between Nat and Laura. Just acting. In the previous chapters you can tell that there is some physical connection between them; desire. But it feels in that chapter they do everything solely for MC, and there is nothing else. It does look a bit off. Ch.20 At the end of the chapter you are sending(no other option) a photo of Laura with something extra to Nat. Depending on the route you're in, it feels strange and out of character same as for Nat's reaction, it can be slightly improved. *and just a suggestion, Laura could share pics on her own to Nat going forward, and then show chat to MC ;)

Maus

You read "I will try to" as "I promise to", and complained on that imaginary premise, accusing me of "breaking promises" that I never actually made. You're basically calling me a liar. How am I supposed to react to that kind of accusations, I wonder? Am I supposed to say "You're right, I'm going to sacrifice my life for this game"?

Le Stag

Oh, sorry if i offended you sir. When you talk about your personal and professional life, i was shocked! Because i thought, this game is the only purpose of your existence! So i apologize. Once again, thank you for your condescension, it's a present and we can do nothing but appreciate it. Surely we wouldn't want you to force yourselves on a game that donated to us. Therefore you should consider about 1 episode per month sir. Thank you for your efforts.

Zandatsu XL

The issue is that, without an error message, or anything allowing me to target the issue, I have no way to determine the root cause. What version of Android are you using?

Le Stag

I'm sorry if you didn't feel the last chapters were longer, but they objectively are. I can't do anything about the way you perceive their length. As the game progresses, the chapters become both longer and more complex. They require a lot more work to complete. You say I promised to catch up with version 0.10, but that's not true. The exact words I used are "[I] will try to catch back with version 0.10". I can't break a promise I didn't make. I'm putting as much work in the game as I can. Trying my best to create the best content I can offer, and as much of it as I can. I cannot do more. I have both a personal and professional life aside from the game, and I won't/can't sacrifice them. So, yeah, I'll end that by saying that, if you don't like it, you can unsubscribe. Because there's not much else I can't say.

Le Stag

You said you can't make 3 episodes for this update but try to catch back with 10th update. Which means we could expect 4 episodes with the 10th update. Now you're saying that you can't promise 3 episodes anymore and the 10th update will only be 2 more episodes of story progression. Which means the progression going to be 2 episodes short with 10th update. And you claim to promise much longer episodic playtime. I have played the recent episodes but no sir, it did not feel any longer than normal. At first, you said there will be no updates every other week, we said alright, you said there will be only 1 update in 3 weeks, we did coplain a bit but we understood. Now you are saying it's going to be 2 episodes only in 3 weeks. What's next? Let me guess, only 1 episode per month? What about broken promises? No offense dude but i need to say these words because i am the one paying for it. I also need to mention that the last two episodes kind of felt rushed and sloppy to me. And didn't feel any longer than normal. To be honest, paying around 7 dolars with VAT, each month can easily make up to a full complete game price in a few months. I must ask, do you believe you offer our moneys worth? I mean are you satisfied with what you offer, this is a sincere question. And plase don't talk to us like "if you don't like then you don't buy" because i already paid just because you promised to catch up with 10th update. Now i see it's not going to happen.

Zandatsu XL

Me too

Shawn Nichols

Yes me to

Bab Bnot

On android

Fleur

Me too

Fleur

even for this version I still have the same problem, the game launches, a black screen then cuts out

Bab Bnot

I'll say this other then chp 19 not starting from a save file this run was flawless solid work stag

Po po patrol

The update was hot as hell! I can’t wait for the next one!

Jon

unless I missed it, can you re-add the option to force paths?

Smith

What's the link to the discord the links on the community page are expired

Po po patrol

I've still this bug in full screen mode : display look a bit blurry, as if there was a resolution problem. This bug doesn't appear if I choose windowed mode and then enlarge the window (display is then perfectly crisp, even if it's not literally full screen mode).

Thierry

Guys, if you want to know more about bugs and progress of fixes join discord, fix for chapter 20 is already on the way

Poprostu Haffer

It also doesn't load saves from previous versions properly.

jimmy jazz

Did a fresh install, and a factory reset, and played from the beginning. There was very little new content after chapter 18, just a fuck session between Laura and Nathan (one image from Laura and one from Nathan) and then I got the dreaded "that's all the available content for now". Did not see a "completed chapter 19" or for that matter chapter 20.

User_P

End of content after sending pic to Nathan? No end of content message, as stated above from someone else.

shanz

Wrong, it's mean that it will be less technical updates like more saves, new options, or aspects and more story, pictures and sex

Poprostu Haffer

More talky, less fucky, I'd guess

eidolic

Can confirm a save from chapter 18 does not progress to chapter 19, as well as the game stopping once a picture is sent to Nathan in chapter 20. If you send him the picture, it stops after Laura sends you his response. I imagine it's the end of the chapter, but still. No interlude, no end of content message. Additionally, saving and reloading when this happens sends me back to the start of chapter 20. May or may not be related.

eidolic

Happend to me too, as Act VII is 2/3 done I assume it's the finish for now.

Checkout17

I have the same. That's strange.

zxcc

Storyfocused ? What do you mean

Silvo75

I don't know if this is a bug, but the game gets stuck shortly before the end of chapter 20.

King22422

im having two bugs with the version, in the main save i cannot start the new content (chapters 19-20). Secondly when im going through them in memories, during chapter 20 it seems to freeze with no option coming up to progress after belle sends the pic of Nathan's response

MisterTheCow

Have u tried pausing the download via mega and then unpause? Works for me if this problem occurs

Checkout17

Hey Le Stag. Unfortunately I am not able to download the 500mb from mega. The download on Mega remains at 97%. Please try a different hoster (gofile or workupload) Damn mega

King22422

Can't advance from chapter 18 to 19 with old save.
