I totally get where you are coming from.. and I do want there to be actual M/M content in the game .. but want to stress to anyone else reading this.. its going to be totally at the players choice to follow that path (s) or not.

At the moment there is no actual M/M content.. there is a start of this coming in the park toilet.. and one of the school mates mentions about coming over to play on his console... (there is a marvel style, hint of something to come, so to speak)..

The hint word is a mouse over.. so you just need to leave your mouse on it and a little box should appear with a little more help.
If there is no m/m content in the game CURRENTLY, then the tag needs to be removed. Only implemented tags are supposed to be listed. Future content can just be shown in the dev notes or the description itself. As one of many gay men who constantly face this issue on here (hopefully not anymore after they redo the tag system, fingers crossed) I'd appreciate NOT having to see another game listed as having "gay" content when there is not a single shred of m/m content available.

That's... a lot of black and white.. :eek:
I was looking for a very clean style look to it.

I can confirm that there is 100% M/M content in the v0.2 version of the game.. but please remember this is only the 2nd release and is trying to cater for ALOT of different interests.. So all content is going to build slowly over time.

make the save system to allow people to export/import saves as i dunno about anyone else but i REALLY HATE starting over a game due to a update like i had to do with this due to how you got the save system which really seems to make people start over every update and it's pissed me off in games where i've had a lot of time put into grinding only for saves to get invalid between updates

Ok I think you are mixing up two things here..

The ability to import / export updates and needing to create a new save are not the same..
You can start the game from an old save.. but it will be a mess and probably crash.. This would be the same if you had exported and imported an old save..

I have ALOT of variables in the save... most are in the same positions.. but not all...
I am hoping to make it in the future that the player will be able to use 1 of a number of saves. (these will still be saved in the browser and not exportable).

I am also working on currently putting in a few place holder variables which will mean that there is more of a likely hood that future updates will mean you can use an old save.

However at this stage of the game I will also say that I am not adding content in a linear way.. So by using an old save, you might well miss new content. There was some massive behind the scence engine changes from V0.1 to 0.2 and so an old save really would of been an issue I believe.

All this said.. I also, as someone who play games from this site.. do find it frustrating if I have to start over every time.. but then again some of the games, I do quite enjoy playing the content through again..

The Questhints are the same as they where in 0.1 and still lacks of important informations. Like when do you need to be at the shop for the job? Some Quest seems bugged for me, like "ur first gf". When i got her number, have the charisma needed, be in my room, there is the questbutton in the phone and after clicking it, i got the Picture with the animal (about hair) but the questlog didnt change. After that, she also isnt listet on my contactlist for texting her.
Also the Camgirl Sis Quest didnt trigger. I see her at night (with the short video) and catching what she is doing. But the Queststage didnt change.

I startet a new Game with Version 0.2.
Anyway: thanks for what you are doing so far

Have you looked at the quests? They should give you some hints of where you could find some sand..

I have updated a lot of the hints.. but let me see..
Ok so yes you are right I have missed out something on the starting your first job.. its 9am weekends.. I could have sworn I wrote something somewhere that said about visiting him as he opened on the weekend.. Will add that to the start of my list of things to do for v0.3..
I think with the first gf bit.. it should have changed.. (this hint might have changed.) you just need to wait a few nights .. and check your phone at the same time.. and she will have text you..
I had been playing with the texting ability as I wanted to remove it as an option to text all at same 15 like.. i wanted it to be more that some npcs would give you their number as part of quests. (that way there would not be alot of contacts with no real content). I might have missed enabling Coco.. but there is not really anything there you are missing.. the quest can continue without her being in your contacts..

Im going to test the camgirl thing now.. that really should be working.. do you own the laptop.. as the next step does require you to do something on that.. which might be the issue..

Hopefully the number of bugs will settle and the with things work will become more natural to people... and hints will improve where I remember to change them.. As someone who played the v0.1.. I hope you have noticed some minor but requested tweaks to the system .. like the intro quest.. and stat changes text..

Thanks for the feedback :)

Ok Edit.. I have had a look at the code.. and I think I can see the issue... I have put two prerequesits for starting the quest..
You sister needs to be 20+ corrupt and you need to be 100+ corrupt..

On the second step it mentions you need to be 130. in the hint.. but the hint for the first step is also missing these two important factors...

Im gutted now.. cause I really went through all the hints and steps for all the quests to make sure they matched things..
If an release a bug update in the next day or so.. I will include the hint system updates for the two things you have mentioned... (at this point i feel there is going to be a bug fix update lol) Thanks again for spotting and feeding this back.. it really does help.

Incase it hasn't been suggested yet, look into responsive web-design if you want to resolve the screen size issues. Here is how I modified my local install using flex-box (make sure to unpack both files). I haven't tested it beyond a few game screens, but it seems fine.


Unrelated request: can we have a feature to write a save to a file (like you see in sugarcube games).

After visiting the sister multiple times, that one worked now and have changed to the next stage.
The Job however didnt let me start on sunday 9am.
And for the GF: nope she didnt texted me. I checked it 2 or 3 times at nights 9pm.

Yes the Intro is an improvement for sure and also some minor improvements with the blue text. But what i think is still missing are a lot of these blue info Texts. Like when you are in some classes (what stats did we get from that without doublechecking). Same goes for Books, even when its more clear what that will do. Better give to much info, then to less, i would suggest.

Thanks.. the fix for the screen size at the moment I am working with (and seems to be working for most) is to use the magnify option built into the browser.. This is not 100% perfect but better than nothing..

Regarding the save file like sugar cube.. I am going to build something eventually allowing for multiple in game saves.. but I cant see them being able to be brought out of the browser. But who knows.. time will tell on that front.

thanks for you info tho :)

Are you friends with the shop keep (think it was like 10+) and do you own the phone.. other than that its defo 9am.. are you talking to him.. as the quest in within his interaction.
I got a feeling (I could be wrong) that the GF one is 10pm..

and the blue text (as mentioned in the change log) is a feature I have added, but I am having to go back retrospec and add the code to display it... I will note that I have forgotten the lessons and books.. And I bet the porn!!

Why does this not take up the whole screen? I've never seen a twine game fail such a basic metric before.
Firstly its not a twine game.. secondly if you looked at the help button.. it mentions that if you use the magnifying glass option built into your browser you can make it fit closer to the size of you screen.. Its very difficult to built a game (and engine) completly from scratch and get it to fit everyones set up.. (and kinks) but I am trying!!!

The GF is set to message back after a few days.. (it might be as much as a week after you sent her the hair meme)..
Dont worry about the 15mins.. everything works by the hour part of the time..

I hit create but the game doesn't start.
What browser are you using? and do setting like private browsing set.. I have not tested that.. but that might cause it to not work..
I think it is something unique your side as 99.9% of people get at least past that point..
