On my end, the game is running fine, and I didn't get a single report on bugs this time. Are you using a compressed version?

For the technical issues, no I'm not using the compressed version. I just don't know why browsing the laptop is so slow.

How to avoid a shot from that thug in the cafe morning?

Second date with Stephanie, date option is not available. Followed walkthrough step by step, version 0.24.9. I noticed several messages with this same issue but no solution.

 

[Gecko_]

Just replayed that part, working fine at my side. The best thing is to send me your save file and I'll look into it.

Second date with Stephanie, date option is not available. Followed walkthrough step by step, version 0.24.9. I noticed several messages with this same issue but no solution.

Same problem. No option for second date with Stephanie, neither inside Omega at evening/night, nor outside Omega in town at any time of day.

And in general: I really like the writing. The dialogues are alive and believable, but... all this sandbox part - it is good example how it SHOULDN"T be done. The only good thing - "no grinding". But the rest - it's just a torture to play. Even with a walkthrough... Hope that would change in "part 2" and further on.

"Hope that would change in "part 2" and further on." That's why Part 2 was made.

Yep! It worked. The option "Date" appeared in Chat with Stephanie. Maybe it didn't appear coz I used custom names for everyone, dunno. Thanks!

Sooo... the end of Part 1 is sex with Mia and should proceed with Part 2?

 

[Gecko_]

John64 Yep.

same i followed the wt dont have date option
i look at the log "i can check on mia now" but already done all event with mia

edit:nvm solved it by using save file dev provide

 

[copoarmy]

ngl i cant wait to know what gonna happen next
kudos dev

ch1 - dead link ( compressed.

*does ch2 include ch1? if not why is there a note about saves incompatibility? like if it is separate you would not be able to use it anyway i think.

Part 2 doesn't include part 1, the note is cause players tried to play the game/continue the story with save file from part 1 even when prompted otherwise!
Dead links are out of my reach, you can always get the game from patreon or discord.
Also, Part 1 compressed version has Stephanie's bug.

 

[konabwo]

does p2 end at cafe? mc got kicked.
...
i think one of the reasons i played this honeyselekta game is because renders are europ-ized . wonder why other devs dont do it. too hard? or just dont want to bother and thus keep it asian,oriental ?

A Better Tomorrow
Good day all,
With a heavy heart, I need to announce that for now "A Better Tomorrow" will be put on hold. This decision was made upon the latest response I got from v0.40, is it the reviews, the support, some tasty direct messaging and spamming , and so on. Maybe in a way, I knew this was bound to happen, and I ended the last version with a cliffhanger potentially killing the main character. Even if my plan was to expand the sandboxy style with more features, upgrading Peggy's Caffe, taking control of some elements in Omega, and having a visual progression of the places you visit. Upgrading MC's room with more toys, making the hill cleaner place, and starting own "lemon stand" on the private beach, while we finally get ahold of MC's personal demons with all increasing protest happening around him, that will soon grow into every day's riots (hint: Small TV news event). An event that somehow will impact MC and his closest ones.
For now, I need to apologize to everyone that didn't see Jenny's scene and the progress of their kinky love-hate relationship.
With that aside, I have one more announcement, that I'm working on a new project which I planned it over a year now. All the info I can share for now is that "Project x" will take place in the same universe as ABT. While having a new MC some of the characters we know from ABT will make an appearance... furthermore, the gameplay will be different(less sandboxy). The demo version will be released once it has at least one hour of gameplay.


Some previews:

Thank you all for your understanding,
Gecko

I just started the game but that club scene....the MC discovers that his family have feelings for him so naturally he goes out and feels up some bimbos at the club. I don't want to be mean but save the really dumb scenes until after the player plays the game for a bit.

One of the bimbos is
