Wanted to try the new update, but i'm a bit annoyed that none of my saves work, I click load and all it does is start the game from begining, anyone else got the same problem? Geuss i'll try tomorow a new playthrough then but kinda boring to see the old chapters again.
Are you using saves from 0.0.1? Iirc the saves from that version won't work but afterwards its working fine for me. I always export the saves to a separate folder and replace the entire game files whenever a new update comes out and then just import back the save.

Game isn't terrible. Renders look good and the main girl is super hot but for me the dialogue just feels so unnatural. Feels like I'm talking to an AI chatbot describing the pictures when I talk to Chuck. Nobody texts like that. Game isn't bad though. Also, for a game that seems to encourage playing multiple routes and seeing different outcomes, it's way too slow.

Exactly, the dev really needs to work on the speed of progress. We're already at version 0.4 and still just getting out of the prologue, which kinda gives off the vibe of a deliberately slow pace. Not saying it's intentional or anything, but that's the feeling I'm getting.

Other than that, there's not much to complain about. I get that there are three routes, and it’s super hard to work on all of them. Plus, I believe the dev wants us players to try all the routes to see the different scenes, which makes sense. But I still think they should work on this and add more content in future updates.

Anyway, I’m hyped for the next update! These are just my critiques and thoughts so far.

Nope saves from 0.3.0, least till then they worked fine, but seems i can't now load the endings from 0.3.0 anymore.

Hey, thank you for your thoughts. The planning for v0.4.0 was time consuming because the outlines of future routes had to be planned before I could start writing the script. It is every dev's nightmare to hit a wall in the future and I wanted to avoid that.

There are 3 major routes but each route would have at least 4 sub-routes which makes this game quite big and spread-out. So like someone mentioned in the past, it is a lose-lose situation no matter if we stick to focusing on one route or simultaneously update all routes. We already got someone asking why cheating route wasn't updated.

But this is a work in progress game and we can only gradually build up the content. Or another option is to update once every 2-3 months which feels too much of a gap for a game like this.

However, tbh, I did rush through the script part to push the update within a month, especially the Roy routes which made the dialogues between MC and Chuck bland and chatbot-like as someone pointed out. I spent too much time on the rendering part making me focus less on the quality of the script.

That made me realize I shouldn't rush through anything next time but plan things properly so that the quality of the content wouldn't be affected.

The next update will mainly focus on the Cheating Route along with some update to the Loyal Route. If time permits, there will be more content in the Loyal Route as well so that hopefully two major routes get updated at the same time. We have a pleasant surprise for Loyal Route to make it not boring for those who are ironically bored with usual vanilla stuff ;)

About the pacing, I have to remind you guys again that we wouldn't be rushing to sex scenes but make it naturally progress. From our pov, it would be strange to see an introverted and loving gf doing cowgirl style with another dude after just few days (talking about the cuck route here).

But the 2nd event would be bolder than the first and so on as the plot progresses. Let's say it's our idea of expressing the corruption factor. That's it for this wall of text lol

Do look forward to our next update!

Many do not understand that haste is needed only when catching fleas. If you want a decent game, then do not rush the developer in this. Try to solve mathematics, chemistry and physics at the same time. What will happen? The game is moving forward beautifully and there is no need to rush with this.
