Yeah! I just re-played the whole game again and there is a bug when you get promoted to "Assistant Manager", the game crashes with this error message:

Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I attached the fix for the bug (v1.1 public)

Put the file in game/story/coleagues (Click yes to replace the original file)



And, those who wants the full save from the last update,

Click the cheat icon in the left menu, (right on top of female characters' status)
then click the save update button on top.
The function is open to everyone. It has been that way since we put it in the game,
but it looks like not many people know it.... my bad.

It's really up to you but tutorial does give some information you might want to know.
And, we'll put more time on this matter to let you all get to know the features in the game easier.


Some of the functions that people usually miss in the game are:

1) save update button (that anyone can use) on the very top of cheat menu

2) random sex event with characters that you've already managed to finish the first part (Cherry, Tori)

3) Random stranger encounter sex event in different locations (this is being changed to pick up battle system)
- so far, club, beach, bar, and park has been given the implementation while car and mountain remain the same.
- we're going to add more locations in the future




And, for those who uses consoles or save editor, the game does not contain any anti-cheat so you won't have to worry about that. I've never used the save editor so I can't tell if it works well but I assume it would.




Hi, guys.

It has been quite long since I wrote here.

I haven't been posting but visited from time to time trying to read all your comments.


We've been really busy with our work. (both our job and game)
Especially for last two months, we were in very tight schedule since we were working on the new system implementation.

And, it looks like we've managed to get most of our planned tasks done for those months.


We did invested much time on the new system implementation during this winter,
but we also did put much contents as well in order to compensate for tiny updates during September - December (October to January for public versions)


Since we've finished most of the big chunks for the new system implementation, we'd be able to put most of our time in adding contents from now on.

In addition, we couldn't add more stories before we added this system to the game because we needed it for the story events.
And, now, I can say we have everything for us to speed up.


There are few more objectives planned for the near future, which are:

1) dating system - to date main characters in different locations

2) renovate dialogue system - more variation, random event, reflecting story phases of each characters

3) revisiting the very first part of the story (meaning mostly cherry & tori)
- Since those parts were made at the very beginning (when we had no experience at all), they are really- uhm, below the standard in terms of quality and so.
= We are going to change and edit some of the media files (to enhance quality and coherence to characters), revisit script, add sound effect, and so on.

These tasks takes time but not too much because they either do not involve any new system (in terms of coding), or are already set.


So, I think it's safe to say that we are just getting started with our game in terms of contents.
It has been a full one year since we began this project, and I feel happy and relieved.

I really want to appreciate you all for everything.
Those who took their time to share their views, you really helped a lot to make our plans and learn about game-making.
Those who reported bugs, you really did save us lots of time which we always needed so much.
Those who financially helped us via patreon, we could work less and put more time into the game, and survive the last half an year.
And, those who like the game, just thinking about you keeps us our motivation high during the hard and exhausting period..




Mostly the good news, but we do have few bad news:

We were supposed to get help from a volunteer few month ago with our script. But haven't had heard from the personnel since the last message in December. I hope that it has nothing to do with any serious issues that he or she is safe and sound.
But, we won't stop seeking for ways to enhance the script quality.

And, the patreon February version was supposed to have already been released like few hours ago, but we postponed it for more than 12 hours. We'll start working on it again as soon as my co-developer comes back to his desk in an hour.





In short, thank you and god bless you.

Downloaded the latest update, including the bug fix c1_story.rpy you provided in the comments. After loading the save files that I had on my PC, when I press sleep or it goes to night cycle all the perks that I had retrigger and receive tons of errors.

Also when trying to check the new battle system in the park I also receive most of the same errors, and nothing works to do it.

I have used save editor just to edit money value and bought all the cars in the game.
The system is weird, cause I was expecting stats for equiped items, not stacking cars/perks. Saw this in priour updates as well.

But the new bug is here and it's kinda messing everything.

My game crashs when I get promoted(When I finish work 25 times and my IQ is above 50).
Does anyone know why?

I attached the fix for the bug (v1.1 public)

Put the file in game/story/coleagues (Click yes to replace the original file)



And, those who wants the full save from the last update,

Click the cheat icon in the left menu, (right on top of female characters' status)
then click the save update button on top.
The function is open to everyone. It has been that way since we put it in the game,
but it looks like not many people know it.... my bad.

It's really up to you but tutorial does give some information you might want to know.
And, we'll put more time on this matter to let you all get to know the features in the game easier.


Some of the functions that people usually miss in the game are:

1) save update button (that anyone can use) on the very top of cheat menu

2) random sex event with characters that you've already managed to finish the first part (Cherry, Tori)

3) Random stranger encounter sex event in different locations (this is being changed to pick up battle system)
- so far, club, beach, bar, and park has been given the implementation while car and mountain remain the same.
- we're going to add more locations in the future




And, for those who uses consoles or save editor, the game does not contain any anti-cheat so you won't have to worry about that. I've never used the save editor so I can't tell if it works well but I assume it would.




Hi, guys.

It has been quite long since I wrote here.

I haven't been posting but visited from time to time trying to read all your comments.


We've been really busy with our work. (both our job and game)
Especially for last two months, we were in very tight schedule since we were working on the new system implementation.

And, it looks like we've managed to get most of our planned tasks done for those months.


We did invested much time on the new system implementation during this winter,
but we also did put much contents as well in order to compensate for tiny updates during September - December (October to January for public versions)


Since we've finished most of the big chunks for the new system implementation, we'd be able to put most of our time in adding contents from now on.

In addition, we couldn't add more stories before we added this system to the game because we needed it for the story events.
And, now, I can say we have everything for us to speed up.


There are few more objectives planned for the near future, which are:

1) dating system - to date main characters in different locations

2) renovate dialogue system - more variation, random event, reflecting story phases of each characters

3) revisiting the very first part of the story (meaning mostly cherry & tori)
- Since those parts were made at the very beginning (when we had no experience at all), they are really- uhm, below the standard in terms of quality and so.
= We are going to change and edit some of the media files (to enhance quality and coherence to characters), revisit script, add sound effect, and so on.

These tasks takes time but not too much because they either do not involve any new system (in terms of coding), or are already set.


So, I think it's safe to say that we are just getting started with our game in terms of contents.
It has been a full one year since we began this project, and I feel happy and relieved.

I really want to appreciate you all for everything.
Those who took their time to share their views, you really helped a lot to make our plans and learn about game-making.
Those who reported bugs, you really did save us lots of time which we always needed so much.
Those who financially helped us via patreon, we could work less and put more time into the game, and survive the last half an year.
And, those who like the game, just thinking about you keeps us our motivation high during the hard and exhausting period..




Mostly the good news, but we do have few bad news:

We were supposed to get help from a volunteer few month ago with our script. But haven't had heard from the personnel since the last message in December. I hope that it has nothing to do with any serious issues that he or she is safe and sound.
But, we won't stop seeking for ways to enhance the script quality.

And, the patreon February version was supposed to have already been released like few hours ago, but we postponed it for more than 12 hours. We'll start working on it again as soon as my co-developer comes back to his desk in an hour.





In short, thank you and god bless you.
wont let me save as, it only opens up into a tab and information which I have no clue about. Would save link be the same?

bugged all my saves, had to start again... can anyone share a new full save?
It's on purpose.
Sometimes when they release a new update your old saves are broken and you have to start again.
The whole game is a grinding machine. Gathering enough money to buy the first car takes a lot of grind. To buy others it's just insane. All of this just to push you to buy the benefits access.

I mean, it's totally legit to let some content accessible to the donors and/or make the game easier for those who pay.
But this got ridiculous in my eyes. I used to like this game a lot but now I'm just bored to restart it every time... it's too much.

The bug that made it impossible to proceed has been fixed. thank you.



However, I just can't win the mini-game of the battle with MS. Jackson.

I increased my ability to the cap at this point (Str: 102, Int: 99, Ps: 75, Att: 41), purchased all the ability-up items other than the car, and rematched dozens of times, but I can not win at all Hmm.

Is there any knack?

Or is there a winning strategy I'm missing?

Or do I have to wait until the next version?



It was a battle system that made it at the expense of other events, but it was too difficult for me.

I would be grateful if you could skip the battle if necessary, but how about it?

Hi, Vicissitudo.

Thanks for sharing your view on our game.
I'd like to explain some of the things you mentioned.

First, I think it's totally understandable that you think the game's system purposefully aim to make people pay.
I assume that it's because of the money grind and old save problem. Since other types of grinds are pretty much solved now.

Regarding the money grind, we've been aware of it. (since last September) Our original plan is to increase the basic income and add more means to earn big chunk of money as Company route continues. However, we needed our new battle system implemented for the story to really get started. Since my co-developer still goes to college we had to postpone the plan to Jan and Feb. And during last two months we put much contents in the Company route because providing more income source is one of our main focus.

Then, about the save breaking problem, we've been working on it since last October. If we did really make the system to milk money from gamers, we wouldn't have added save-update function in the game in the first place. It has been open to everyone from the moment it was implemented last July. Truth is we haven't had success with it yet, and, to be frank, it wasn't our 1st priority since we think that implementing system and adding contents should come first.

And, as we've already promised, we never installed any anti-cheat/console system or policy into the game since we apologized and removed it from the game last June. I wouldn't say we were never tempted to make the game's patreon system in a more profitable way, but we haven't and we have no plan to do so as we've already made a decision and promised to you all.


In case you want to know our progress with the old save problem, it could be implemented on April at the earliest, and the method is to produce a txt file that contains all the (and only the) variables in the game and have users copy and paste that with every update. We haven't shared about it since we aren't so sure if it would work just yet.




We have very limited time since me and my friend has to go to work (and school as well for my friend) that we are squeezing our schedule to make the game. Last September, our pay in patreon has almost doubled but it's still less than $1000 until now.
So it's less than $500 for each of us. It's no where near the amount we can work full-time for the game. I wish that those who like the game understand we are working hard with what we have. Progress might seem slow but it's moving to the direction as we've promised.


I am sorry if we've disappointed you but I hope you understand or at least clear the air if there has been any misunderstanding.

As I wrote in the post few hours ago, we have all the system implemented that we are ready to put most of our work in contents and other important tweaks beginning from March. It's really up to your discretion whether to like the game, but I wish you could give it a month or two to see that we deliver what we've planned.


Thank you.

It is designed to be able to clear in the current public version. Patreon version would let you up the stats easier and give one skill (which isn't op at all) but that's it.

In this version, buyable items won't help much with the battle. You'd want to get all the skills for each step and progress to the next one. (wasted clubber - clubber - bar - beach - park, in this order and Ms. Jackson before Park.) Winning couple of battles against the same opponent type gives you skills.
The battle in the park may be a bit difficult in current version but you'll be able to win them easier in the next version with more skills and bonuses.

And, I admit that the balance could be somewhat off since we've just added this new system here. We are trying to get as much feedback as possible to polish the difficulties.

Thanks for your feedback!

I've got to say that I find the battle system extremely frustrating. I was able to win all the battles up to the beach. Ms. Jackson isn't even close. It's almost comical how quickly she regains health. I have str and int at 99 (as high as I can go as far as I can tell) with 75 people and 41 attractiveness. I though maybe I needed to do other story lines to unlock more but at this point everything either says "Nothing of this moment", says I'm done for this version, or says I need to pass a company event to progress (which I obviously can't do). So, either I'm missing something, or this just isn't beatable. On top of that I can't make any money anymore b/c I'm stuck on Ms. Jackson. I thought maybe grinding for a car (which takes way too long btw) might make the difference, but like I said I can't make any money. So it feels like I'm just screwed, which is a really shitty feeling, especially since the blocker is a new system that has nothing to do with why I like the game.

Oh, and I'm running into an error where whenever I try and relax with multiple people in the living room.

It's duly noted and we'll take everything into our consideration in our plan.

You don't need any items to win the battle since it does nothing so far.

It looks like we need to provide more infos as where to get bonuses and skills to strengthen the MC.

Are you saying that I've missed some upgrades? If so could you tell me where to look?
