v0.19 Alpha release
Added 2018-08-31 18:28:29 +0000 UTCHere it is, guys! There are two main routes in this update, one where Eric's dead, or one where he comes back (if you were in an open relationship with him and made him accept your liberal lifestyle). Also, you'll get the chance to get closer to the older male characters in the game (specially Bernard, if you're a good girl) and other exciting stuff. Hope you like it!
As usual, write down any bugs you come across!

When talking to the gang leader after being "too Famous" the gang leaders name changes to Eric's Dad for three scenes.

2018-09-01 14:38:21 +0000 UTCSome alphas are buggier than others, a handfull of the variable errors you mention have already been reported in the messages above yours and will be fixed in the beta. Meanwhile you can simply press ignore and the game will continue generally skipping a line or two of text, the very important thing it's to don't keep savegames from alphas (or even betas) as you will miss thoses fixes and carry the bugs to future updates. Keep saves only from final versions of the update.

2018-09-01 09:51:44 +0000 UTCI've gotten quite a few "an exception has occurred" error screens - even more than usual in the alpha

2018-09-01 08:43:44 +0000 UTCI really hope I can cuck Eric lmao. It's the only reason I didn't break up with him but the game unfortunately read that decision as my Ash still loving him lol

2018-09-01 08:39:06 +0000 UTCBug report: - I’m not being able to trigger both Bernard’s scenes (v19bdad and v19daderic), looking at the code I think some jumps to those scenes are missing after Eric’s funeral/party. - Apart from the variable bugs already pointed out there is also a weird error after being with Arthur after the funeral: While running game code: File "game/script.rpy", line 116048, in script with fade (2.0) TypeError: 'MultipleTransition' object is not callable. I’m not finished with all my routes so maybe some more bugs will pop up later, just wanted to report these asap. A pretty solid update as usual, my favorite part is a very small one but I can’t help to really like how Dave and Good Jess relationship is starting to lift off as shown in Eric’s welcome party! For the open relationship thingy with Eric I hope there’s the possibility of Ash not only being a complete slut (although I WANT that in the game, lol, it’s just too much evil fun cucking him) but also a more, let’s say, vanilla thing, and those two –added to Nat and Damian- would be perfect for it imho (and no matter what happens with Eric I just like them together).

2018-09-01 08:33:00 +0000 UTCI found a bug in the Arthur sex scene. While running game code: File "game/script.rpy", line 116245, in script File "game/script.rpy", line 116245, in <module> NameError: name 'nipples' is not defined As far as I can tell by looking at the code, the problem is in this scene you used the wrong variable name to check for Ash having nipple piercings. The variable you defined back into the piercing scene (line 57210) and then used in a couple other scenes is 'nip', not 'nipples'. The latter never gets defined in the rest of the code, so it seems a genuine bug and not an old save issue of mine.

2018-08-31 23:03:27 +0000 UTCI also thought about something I think have been missing for a little while. Since the game is in the slice of life genre it could go on forever, but I think that the game right now needs some narrative hooks which it had earlier. An earlier example of this was that Ashley needed money in order to stay in school. That hasn't been an issue for quite a while. While there have been some longer story arcs such as romancing Dave, saving for the breast enlargement surgery and getting invited to Tyrone's pool party I feel that some narrative goal for Ashley might be missing - as in something she needs to do for herself. Considering how the game has progressed it could be a lot of different things depending on how the player has developed Ashley in that particular playthrough. A career oriented Ashley might decide that she wants to make it big at the company (either by sleeping to the top, or by being awesome, or a combination), while an naughty Ashley bent on becoming famous could realize that she wants to become an award winning adult actress. And so on. That way we'd have something to play towards, while those goals might still be as long away as you feel like. The scenarios you write and draw are still top notch and are actually becoming better and better, but with a stronger purpose in the narrative they would become even better without you having to change anything in the scenarios by themselves. Something else that you could think about is having endings appearing at different points in the game. If I were to make some comparisons, the game so far has progressed similarly to Mass Effect - several different choices along the way along with consequences leading to different endings. But it wouldn't feel out of place with some inspiration from Chrono Trigger. There your choices could lead to an ending appearing much earlier. That way you won't have to work on a possible separate plot element branching away from the main story. In retrospect, Ashley deciding to follow Eric to Somalia way earlier could have lead to an early ending (with some slight variations depending on how Ashley's relationships with the other characters had been up to that point). Ashley following Dave to Rome. And so on. That wouldn't mean that the main story was ended, just that some plot threads were closed of forever, since those would get their resolutions in the early endings. This is still an amazing game, and probably amongst the best adult games available, but that's also why I wanted to give some input :)

2018-08-31 22:28:20 +0000 UTCThe only bug I've seen so far is where Eva is invisible when Ashley, Kevin and her meet up at the campus. This was as Thug Ashley, and I think that it was good Eva. That cam scene was great, by the way. Looking forward to that business trip too!
