So... The developer ignores the fact, that some of us, me included, are stuck with the "check on..." quests. Is it a bug? Is there a way to avoid this? Are we just stupid and don't get it? At least some answer would be nice :p

Ignoring? No. Stupid? No. Posted it twice i think private message me anytime for questions I'll answer. Altho you made a mistake it's not a quest but simply a tip... the last thing you can do in this update is sleeping with Jenny, starting the photosession intro and a small scene with her in the kitchen. Those are connected side events and will never have tips how to accomplish them. Cheers.

Thank you very much for answering. I'm going to try again, maybe I saw already everything and didn't get it. But it would be actually pretty neat, if there would be a hint, that all major contents are achieved or something like that. I hope you can realise that for the next update, sorry if it's to much to ask, don't know anything about programming games =D

Click on the TV and take the remote. Then appear in the living room at night as you have already done, select the TV option.

v0.24.9 is out for 2$ patrons...


Good day, gentlemen.
So after a month, and many sleepless hours ABT is finally taking shape the way I planned. As I mentioned in my last post, I love to play around with players expectations, and I believe you will pleasantly surprised by the outcome.
Warning though, If you're a new player and want a grindy sandbox game I will disappoint you, A Better Tomorrow is a semi-sandbox game in which events shape the world around the main character (referred to as MC). Some of these scenes can take me a month to make so expect some locked locations (they are worked on!).
The main focus of this update is Mia!
So what's changed and what's new?
v0.24.9
main:

  • Main story continuation (Intro to two new characters, Mia-MC relationship, Chloe)
  • Overall UI changes
  • Jenny room overhaul
  • Jenny's room elements interaction added
  • Omega Club overhaul
  • Omega Club interactions added
  • 2nd-floor changes
  • Town map changes
  • MC Room changes (guitar, radio, shelf)
  • added new font (better readable text on brighter images)
  • Improved event log (tips are clearer and should make the game easier to play), MC will also write down his thoughts on prior events
  • added 5 new achievements
  • music will not play in the house (you have the option to choose a song from MC's room)
  • intro for the store owner
  • Mia conversation changes based on all earlier choices (too many to list)
  • Sophia's conversation will change in the main events related to earlier choices (small changes)
  • Sophia early morning side interaction (small differences based on earlier choices)
  • characters will often mention MC's condition (e.g. not showered)
  • MC shower changes (new scenes)
  • Repeat old scenes option
  • Mia repeatable scenes (after the two main events, you'll know which they are)
  • Mia kitchen dinner side scene (after dating)
  • hidden character side scene
fixed:
  • the transition between rooms is faster
  • Jenny jogging bug
other:
  • removed skip intro option
  • removed MC wardrobe
  • old save files should work (I will upload a save file just in case you bump into a bug or you want to jump straight to the new update, place it in game/save folder)
  • overall status changes (now shown on bottom right corner)
  • current location (top-right)
Release dates for ver0.24.9:
  • Donator and VIP - 3 June
  • Patron - 6 June
  • Supporter - 9 June
  • Fan - 12 June
As always, thanks for the wonderful support, some of you guys were so generous with the donations... I hope this update, will meet your expectations.

Here it is :



Old save files should work, however, use the provided save file if you encounter any bugs, or just want to jump straight to the new update.
Place the file in "ABetterTomorrow-0.24.9-pc\game\saves"

Ah, yes, what better way to make a story-driven VN than to make a sandbox? Sandboxes always have so much story.

It's been a while since I've been tracking the progress of this game, but it wasn't originally a sandbox, right? it was a VN if I remember
