If you're grinding, you're doing something wrong.
I think what makes players grind is that they get focused on a single girl and try to go through all their content while ignoring the rest of them. I'm guilty of doing the same thing in other games. With AFV, it can get pretty grindy if you play it that way.

The way a developer thinks players will play the game can be very different than the way players actually play the game. In a lot of games each girls development branch is completely separate from the other girl's branches making it possible to do the entire branch without even saying hi to the other girls. With AFV, in my naive attempt to minimize grinding, I made their branches very much intertwined. My thinking was that between all the girls, there will be enough content going on all the time to keep players from having to grind too much, but what commonly happens is a player will get hung up on a girls progress because she can't progress anymore until another girl or storyline progresses to a certain point, and just keeps going through week after week trying to make something happen that can't yet.

So my advice for the most well rounded AFV experience is to keep all the girls in mind. If you're hung up on something, go explore the rest of the locations at different times of the day and something is bound to happen.

I need help plz >>> (this is a new issue, not mentioned before in this thread):

I already got bj from Aunt Cami.

Now when I do the same thing (i.e. increase m0m libido and block her, at night, she kicks out Cami.)
But THIS TIME, Cami says:
"dont bother visiting me tonight".

There is no option to give her wine.
The only options are :
talk to her
or
leave her alone

And both options have the same result, i.e. nothing happens, Cami doesnt even talk to MC.

Oh and before you ask:
Yes I made sure Cami's libido is at 10

Has anyone else ever encountered this ?? (I swear I get the most rare glitches ever).
Thank you

Unfortunately if there weren't bugs in the game or the sh1tty way the game mechanics work, this could have been a popular and good game.

And secondly, no, your game isn't intelligent enough to make things happen (in response to your statement "If you're hung up on something, go explore the rest of the locations at different times of the day and something is bound to happen"). That statement is wrong sadly. This game is a mess of issues and wrong decisions by the developer (you).
Own up to your mistakes, learn from public feedback (a billion other guys like me saying the same thing, I am NOT the first one) and then maybe you will be a successfull developer with a product that is enjoyed by people.

Just wait for the next Cami content update I think there will be more naughty scenes with her in the living room/lounge.

How do I get Sidney's showers spy pic 1? I have searched past posts, but I still can't find the correct answer. I already have 2 and 3, and the task is completed.

I believe you just watch her when she's not rubbing one out in the shower to get it.

Thanks to both of you for your enthusiastic replies, although they are not helpful at all.
Ah. Found it. You probably can't get it anymore but early in the game before Ryan installs spy cams, if you go home in the afternoon and peak in Lauren's room you'll see Sidney getting undressed. At which point, Ryan snaps a picture.

Are you talking about room spy pic 1? I have obtained this. I am currently going for a run with Sidney, but the photos still only have shower spy pic 2&3. After adjusting the libido value to 0, 5, and 10, the shower spy will not appear. pic 1

Proof of Life - June 27th (Supporters)

Hey AFV Supporters!
Hope you're having a great week and an even better summer!
I don't have a lot to report especially since our progress tracker image below does most of the talking for me. You'll see that a good amount of progress has been made in the last couple weeks with a number of items that were "In Progress" have changed to "Complete". We've still got a decent amount of content to get through before we're done, but we're steadily moving closer and closer to the release of our next update. We're definitely not close enough to start speculating on a release date, so don't even ask! I know some of you were thinking about it.
A lot of my time lately is just spent making the animations, so having Strenif steadily popping out the renders and scripting has been super helpful. AFV's so lucky to have his help! Make sure to thank him when you get a chance.
The plan for the next couple weeks is the same as it has been for the last couple. We'll just keep making renders, animations, and writing the script whenever we get a spare minute. We're giving this update everything we've got. I don't think it's gong to disappoint.
Hope you all have a really great week!
