Last i heard he said he was releasing final version of this when his new game was ready for release. That was shortly after last update and he stated would be 3 to 5 months before it was done. Dropped support in november so no clue if hes still alive

Long time no post. Sorry about that!
Things became very busy for me around the holidays and work on the games came to an almost stand still. As you can see above work has resumed. That image was made as a test of a new lighting/camera setup. Isn't Dani cute? I'm also thinking of making the next game with a higher resolution.
While I was working less on the current two projects, I've been fixing some mistakes in My New Roommate and will upload a updated version of that sometime soon.
The current plan is to finish MBFF 1.0 and the first update of the next game and release them at the same time hopefully before the end of this month. I'll post a release date for both of them soon.
I've also been working on the other game I had planned, the one I said would be more of a comedy than the previous ones. There is also another little project I'm working on. If you've ever played one of those "Choice of" games it is like those.
Thank you for everything and for playing!
One more thing. I think Dani from the new game may have the nicest ass yet from my projects. I made an image comparing her butt to the other girls who are described as having extraordinary asses by characters in their stories. I'll wait to share that one later. It also has the new girl from the "comedy" project so it will work as a preview for that game as well.

I've never actually played this game so I have no idea if those renders are for this game or the new one.

I like the game so far, is very good, but why is the mother taking some medicine for? and why does she act like that when she isnt taking the medicine there isnt much we know about her. you should do a story about the mother explaining why she acts like that when not taking her medicine and what is the medicine for as well.

This was such a good game, hope it's not another rushed ending like Two Weeks.

It's pretty obvious that she has a severe form of mental illness, a psychosis, but more likely a form of schizophrenia and you can be damn well sure the medicine is for said illness.

i like the plot, not many games has that plot or "options" for paths like this one.
It's pretty obvious that she has a severe form of mental illness, a psychosis, but more likely a form of schizophrenia and you can be damn well sure the medicine is for said illness.
maybe she was sex addict or paranoid or maniac or inestable.... or all together..maybe we never know.... thats sucks

Thanks for your help.

Tom moved in next to the Petersson family three years ago and became best friends with their son. The Peterssons now consider him a part of their family. Certain tensions and feelings are near tipping points that could push all of them into new unexplored territories.
This update is finally here.
Thank you for playing and for your support!
Elle appears to see something she wants...
Sorry for the big delay on this. The more recent one being caused by an unexpected trip and now I have the flu...yay...
I'm calling this version 1.0 because you can play each path and have a beginning and end to it. It doesn't mean I'm finished with this game. The way I added the endings was intentional. It leaves room for more days to be added. More characters may be added in the future as well as more paths for those available. Could there ever be a Natali and Elle path? Maybe, maybe not. But the possibility is there.
I've made so many changes, and I didn't keep a list this time so I may have forgotten something below.
Old saves will no longer work! For 1.0 you won't be able to copy over old saves from previous releases. The game will still load them but for the new content to work you will need to start new games and make new saves.
Changes:
*2 new days added (Day 26 Friday to Day 27 Saturday)
*Previous days have had new events added to them. For example Lex/Natali has two new days of events.
*Tom/Lex path added. If you want to skip that one have Lex play PoP on Day 1.
*Many old images replaced with new ones.
*A few of the old animations have been updated
*Gallery has been updated with the new animations
*Some minor sound effects have been added. Doors closing and things of that nature. Keep in this mind if you need to change your volume.
*Some dialogue rewritten and typos fixed. The "correct" choices have been more thoroughly checked than the "wrong" ones.
As I've said before the plan was to post this and the first update for The Seed on the same day, but The Seed isn't ready yet. It will probably posted next month, but sooner rather than later.
I'm also working on another very small visual novel based on a true story. It will be fairly short and only involve a handful of choices, but it's a story I want to do. It too will probably be posted next month.

Also. Skipping unseen isn't enabled but I made a fix for you.
Download this

And put it in with the scripts.rpa file in the game folder then restart the game it should detect the file and enable skipping unseen.
