Hi folks. Here's the detailed roadmap for v0.7.
The 'head', 'boobs' and 'backdoor' branches are almost integrated in the country club locker room event, making it the most complex interactive scene in the game. If your character is prone to embrace the dark side, the special ending with Michael coming into the scene is also ready. There is also a sequence exclusive for good guys planned for later.
I'm also not trying anymore to use the 'move mouse at the right speed' mechanic in mi...

Hi folks! Release v0.6 was messy and tiresome! Now that it's done, it's time to plan what's next.
From now on, I'll try to not make the same mistake again. I'll plan smaller and quicker releases because late scenes of the game are becoming more and more complex (with several past choices and stats being used to build individual dialog lines and actions).
Day 3 night has some important events to unfold and day 4 is election eve, so it won't feature the same routine (house-school-fre...

Here's the updated walkthrough with content added in version 0.6.
Again, it's is a somewhat detailed guide, describing choices consequences, how to find and complete all quests and how to acquire all gallery pics and scenes.

Phew... That was rough, but here it is...
Be warned that I didn't send this version to the testers because it would delay the release even more. And as the game state handling is becoming more and more complex, bugs might haunt Riverside. I also messed a lot with ALL mini-games code and they might still need work. Keep checking the patreon page for updates because I think I'll need to release some fix versions this time (I feel this is going to be a long week...).

Hi folks! I'm still running trying to catch up with the planned schedule. I know a month is a quite long time to produce content, but my little 'project staff' has some peculiarities.
Let me write a quick rant about it:
- Art (by The Architect): I carefully work in each one of the game's sprites and CG. It's not a simply load-pose-render workflow. Assets are acquired from various sources and each texture and material is fine tuned and customized to...

Hi folks. Real life was a mean bitch to me these last days, demanding much more time than usual. Even being able to finish the Lost and Found scene, I'm afraid that now I'm a little behind schedule. I'll try hard to catch up and keep the plan to release v0.6 next weekend.

Hi, folks! Since first versions of HnS2, sometimes I hear people complaining about input issues in mini-games like superfast button mashing and ultrafast mouse movement being required to beat the games. I never intended them to be this way, as all minigames are designed to be somehow easy. Today I discovered a bug that causes these problems.
I made a n00b mistake in some mini-games, using frame counters instead of time counters for logic processing . This means that if your computer is playing...

Hi, folks! When I read people commenting about the game, I often notice they talking about a 'good route' or 'bad route'. So, let's talk about Karma!
Checking the game info screen, you probably have noticed that Karma is the sole D.I.C.K. stat that doesn't have an absolute number. Instead you see your current 'title' (MEAN, NEUTRAL or NICE

Hi folks! I opted to not release a v0.5.1. I already had added some new scripts to the project, content to some free roam areas and some tricky code to solve problems with weird aspect ratio monitors. So I won't risk creating new problems with untested code just to solve a pesky bug. Just be aware of this bug found on v0.5:
The game will freeze when reporting to Max while going to sleep at day 2 if you didn't followed the LOST AND FOUND quest. It's right in ...

Hi, folks! As I wrote in the last post, v0.5 will be a shorter and quicker interaction just like v0.3. Content and new features are already done and it now just needs some more testing.
Release is probably tomorrow night!

Hi, folks! I had to stay off the grid for the last few days but I'm now back on track for version 0.5.
This version is planned to be somewhat like what I did on v0.3: a smaller but quicker release, with not so much new history content (aftermath and end of day 2) but an important new UI feature (unified gallery). The plan is to release by the end of the next week.

Hi, folks. Development cycle for v0.5 is starting, and the first item I handle is always a UI or system improvement. I'll leave the choice to you.
What do you want in next version?
More save slots. It may sound a very simple update, but I'll need to improve the loading panel with scrollbars and handle how loading several more save labels might drag the UI.
Unified title gallery means adding an option at the title screen to access the gallery,...

Hi folks! Some people like only to explore game content not caring much about gameplay and story spoilers. In short: playing with cheats. I've seen some people even using mods to enable cheats.
Well... This might break a lot of the fun, but you actually don't need mods for that! Since v0.3 there's a hidden cheat console that can be used to mess with game variables, enabling a lot of cheating opportunities. If you want to put your real life hacking abilities to test, here's how...

This is a quick bug fix release. Download it only if you want a fix for the following reported problems:

I just sent a test build to our 'beta' testers! I'll give them a couple of days to play-test and report any bugs found while I do some final polishing. Finally, I'll probably release it on Wednesday !
In these last days I tried a new 'skeleton' based animations into the main quest scene. I think it's looking pretty good and you'll notice the difference!
Keep your pants on! We're almost there!

Hack'n Stalk 1 is quite a short game, so it doesn't have much time to show a lot of consequences for your actions beyond the game progress itself (most are in the final chapter or in the endings). I'm trying to work on this in Hack'n Stalk 2.0.
Some actions in day 1 will be remembered and they can lead to different opportunities in day 2. There are still choices with status checks, of course. But now your D.I.C.K stats will also define some of your character's lines and thoughts, girls m...
