Cheats, achievements and bonuses

As you might already know, we don't want to spend our time on balancing an unfinished game. Almost every version of the game adds new gameplay mechanics, and balancing all of them means taking away development time from adding new content. We'll definitely balance things out eventually when the time comes, but for now we've decided to add cheats into the game. We'll try to add them in 0.10, but no promises. It might happen later because 0.10 is shaping up to be pretty big.

Personally, I can't stand cheats, but I understand their value for other players. As you might know, we plan to add achievements in the game. Maybe in the next version or a bit later. But achievements are supposed to be rewards, you don't get to have them when you cheat. So turning cheats on will corrupt the save file forever. You'll be able to influence your money, energy, hunger and other parameters, but cheat save file won't have any achievements and its bonuses. And of course people who play fair will get the achievements. Everyone will get to decide what they prefer. Again it will work on a singular save file, if you decide to start the new game without cheats, you'll be able to get the achievements without any problems.

Now, about the protection of the offline version. We're not going spend a lot of time on it. Just minimal amount like encrypting the save files and some other things. We couldn't cheat in the offline client. We didn't really try all that much, though. Hopefully, it will be enough to add cheats/achievements and its bonuses for our patrons in the offline version too.

We'll probably add an option to log in as a Patron if you want Patron-exclusive bonuses in the offline version, but it will be a one time thing and you won't need to keep logging in every time or have an Internet connection to play offline.

Can I ask if anyone know how to cheat in the latest version of the game? My old saves dont work anymore and I'd like to play some catchup.

Any chance of changing the hotel mini game to let you snag more than one item. It would be hilarious to hand over a bag of dildos, wine and underwear.....

I’m torn on the cheat option, since our online saves can’t be ported over, theoretically the cheats could let us skip repeating all the grinding already invested in the game. However the achievements are so tempting. Personally I’d rather have a detailed walkthrough with each update or at least a legacy bonus where you start with the cheap laptop, $1000 dollars, and a gift store where you can buy gifts for $100 dollars that when given to a character give a large chunk of relationship points.

Если поднять возможность заработка для Кати то и читы не особенно нужны! Я был бы рад если бы Катя научилась зарабатывать в школьном туалете! Получилось бы неплохое приключение под названием "Glory Hole" и дополнительный заработок!

А Катя путём доп. шантажа добиваться своей цели, т. е. та должна голосовать так как это нужно Кате

Катя скромная девушка и зрелые женщины должны быть заинтересованы в ней больше, чем наоборот. Они более властные и когда Катя разговаривает, то подходя к ней взять её , доп., крепко за руку, в след. раз коленкой доп. прижать бедро и т.д. и далее доп. занятие, флирт со стороны женщины даже жёсткий, но постепенный и. д.

Can someone tell me where are save files of the of line version ? I cant find them in Data. Olso Dark Silver can you make a option to save the game when we want to ?

I don't care about any DRM. If it is necessary to have an internet connection all the time, to protect the game. No problems at all. As long as the off-line version keeps updating along with the online version I'm fine. I just love the off-line version, it makes playing so much more fun. Finally the lag issues have gone.

Respectfully, if you don't like cheats, you don't have to use them. If I use cheats, it doesn't detract from your enjoyment of the game.

Дарк Сильвер я так понял что если я в игре уже заработал 10000 например и вы делаете достижение заработать такую-же сумму. То я получаю это достижения автоматически или как

I understand you don't like cheats. But if you don't like them, don't use them in games you play. As a developer, why block those of us that like playing a different way than you from playing the way we want?

Sounds great! This should be a good solution!

That's fantastic news! Am thrilled! I also can not stand cheats. All the work and effort of the game developer, with balancing the game is dashed. Thanks DS.

Really interesting ideas))

Thanks for the news, keep up!

good idea )

Sounds good, hope there will be cheats to solve all the tests in school, they made the game not enjoyable for me because my English isn't good enough to understand them correctly.
