Where are the game images because when I extracted it there were only thumbnails?
You must extract the rpa files with unren too, the game images are hidden inside the rpa
Hello TommyS, I used unren to extract the images but for me only the thumbnails appeared. Did I do it wrong?

The images in the game are not complete images. To save memory Aleksey uses sprites, which means that one picture is composed of many pictures. First comes a background (location), then the naked characters are added and finally the clothes. This means that only a fraction of the memory is needed compared to full rendering and a very large variety of images is possible.

Actually more memory (more images have to be held in the memory to display one scene), but less storage space. Doesn't explain "thumbnails" tho. I guess he just does not have a program that displays webp correctly. Either that or the term "thumbnail" is simply wrong.

Example: Max watches Lisa get dressed. A picture with the location is used, as well as several naked pictures of Lisa in different poses (20), and for each naked picture, all possible clothing options (several dozen) can be used. Which option of the scene we see in the game is determined by a random generator, which guarantees that we can still see new options of the scene even after playing through the game multiple times. The only disadvantage of this method is the complex programming. This means that sometimes, even with complex tests, missing pictures are not discovered (there are many possible options for the scenes).

You're right, I should write storage space. By using sprites, the size of the game is significantly smaller than when using full rendering.

yep, when opening a image containing a character, it's mostly transparent. but contains the information where to put it on the 1920x1080 screen, so it should always show as 1920x1080 image, just mostly "black".
That's not a thumbnail, just a image with little information.

save her one time when she is about to get punished and then talk to her in the same day at the TV, that should start the opportunity

It didn't work; I only have two dialogue options: one for 'Just sit there and watch TV' and the other for Foot massage
he can also reuse backgrounds and not spend time rendering them again or recreating them?

If he had to recreate them for each shot ... that would be really suicidal
However ... the layers with the characters often contain a little bit of background, after all they do reflect each other a bit. (just as clothing layers also contain skin)
This implies that he renders the complete image, then cuts out the parts that differ. And he does not get the lighting right every time. At least in an early version you could see that in the scenes with Alice on the couch, the couch keeps changing color/brightness.
But for the random encounters like changing scenes he usually does not include background in the character layer, that's right. They may be indeed rendered before a black background, the borders are sometimes a bit too dark.
People tend to overestimate the time it takes to render an image. The preparation is the complicated part, setting the positions, lighting and so on. And in this case there's also post processing (cutting out layers with characters and clothes, organizing them in the file structure, making them usable in the logic) The rendering itself you can do overnight, once you set up a pipeline with all the images in the queue.

I didn't play the original so I'm not familiar with the milestones in the changelog. I know this version was out for a while then this same version got remade which is where we are now. My question is, is there any spicy content or sex scenes yet between the main girls and MC or is it still build up?

Still none huh? Crazy that I've been following this game since my 20s and still no fun time with the family yet.

Don't know how old you are, but if you try to imply it has been 10 years or more ... Alexey's game is not that old. Don't confuse it with other BB games. In the legacy version he did get BJs from Alice (the latest one with her being sober) and had fun with his aunt however.
