Updated OP. This isn't a big update in picture count but looks like several renders were redone.

Aight, can i play wife route for an example and mess with other girls if there's a chance?
For now.

I say that because usually where relationships are concerned, once the game gets to a certain stage if you've been unfaithful to whoever main girl was you lose everyone.

So, for now, you can fuck a whole bunch of girls but I doubt it will stay that way. When it's complete it will probably have set routes.

I don;t know that for sure but it's the only thing that makes sense or choices are pointless and may as well not be there.

Size and frequency of updates might be an issue, as might the name change. I know I'm gonna sit this one out, as a five minutes update just doesn't cut it for me.
I like the game a lot, but play only every 3 or 4 updates because of that and this might also hold people back from donating or a reason to drop their patronage.

Yes the update size is the main problem with this game, I don't bother with any less than 5 updates before having another look. Maybe if the dev waited and released a more comprehensive update instead of these "micro updates" they would entice more people to invest in them. The game looks great just has many errors with the "An exception has occurred"

That's the problem with these games with multiple routes. If you can create 8 scenes a month, that's quite a lot for a game with one main path, but split that into 8 paths and that's not much content at all if you only care about 1 or 2 paths.

I like this game but its BS to change the ending of a version and force players to replay the entire game on an update to figure out what they did wrong on the previous version

Getting the following error after loading a save where you are out with the teachers.
Then selecting "Walk Miss Miller Home".

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

The changelog says two scenes were added for the wife.
I only see one in the game files.
And no, I'm not replaying it from the beginning again to find it.

Some choices need removing completely, they are meaningless.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Remove that option if it's not going to do anything, it's the most ridiculous thing i've seen.
while I think it's ridiculous too, removing doesn't make it a game. game is all about having choices.

That's cool. Grab the new update, no matter what descisions I pick the female officer loses it and kills me. Do I need to start the full game over and find all new choices? Too silly for me I'm out.
