Did you mean to paywall the 0.3 public release on Patreon and Subscribestar? Guessing not since you uploaded it here

Public releases are always going to be free and available on F95 and our
You must be registered to see the links
.


Our release cycle is split into multiple steps and depending on the tier our Agents support us at they get access to alpha/nightly builds, beta or final builds. And along their feedback we polish the story, the design, ui and iron out any bugs that we might have introduced in new or old content :)

Only after we are done and we and our patrons are happy with the quality of given segment of the story we move to another cycle, and make previous content Public after a while to hopefully grow our family of Agents!

We've just shared first part of the 0.3 content publicly now and more public updates are coming soon!

If you'd like to support us and heave real impact on the story and earlier access to University and first "Life as an Agent" arc in Act 1: Spying for Dummies it's available to our patrons now!

0.3 was a huge push - probably much bigger than it could/should have been so we are super excited to finally have it out and waiting for feedback from you all!


Especially we are looking forward to hearing about how the online play is and how it works on mobile which is a new feature as well! And of course how you liked the Gap Year arc - which is - apart of all the other improvements and story additions one of the main focuses of this release.

we've done about 500 git commits since 0.2... and it would be long...we are working on making it more systemic.

- PostGrad improvements and a new story arc - Gap Year - a possible choice for your main character to explore after graduating High School. Two paths here to either go to Africa and volunteer or spend time in a posh finishing school in Switzerland.
- additions to story arcs to create more unique experiences based on your MC traits, skills and choices, new high school vignettes and more!
- a lot of adjustments for MC leaning into same sex relationships, improvements and tweaks to many sex encounters.
- big improvements to character creation and hints systems
- a lot of UX improvements and text flow formatting in old and new content,
- a lot of new outfits (45 total ) and fixes to when and how they are displayed,
- new flavor images (mostly in early game and for different paths)
- online version
- massive stability improvements, tons of bugs fixed thanks to our patrons and public version players and hopefully all(?) dead ends fixed.
- and I made sure the TwitchCon arc for nerd MC is even more awesome!
- and nerd outfit now has glasses, is there a tag for that?

...
- and ability to skip some animations and text typing effect with the S key! ;)

I mean there is a lot... interested in anything particular? :)

Definitely improved over the last version that I played, great work on UI revamp, helped a lot on readability, all the problematic bits(for me) are gone!

My only feedback now is that the S key should be a toggleable option rather than keep pressing thing, y'know, porn game, we need at least one hand free.. for reasons..

Spoken like someone with no imagination.
Either way what exactly forced you into a thread for a text based game, tagged as such, to complain that it is text based?

This is like paying consoles companies a fee to be able to use the internet. Yes, thanks for enabling me to use the thing that's already mine.

And to answer your question: boredom

Looks like old saves are not working. Not a big deal but just wanted to drop that info.
Says following fo me: "Can't access property "hometown", SugarCube.State.variables.CC is undefined."
Used the online version tho.

Ok - the prom stuff feels bugged - hard.

When you pick the "seven guys" the text just says "Seven" as if that is a name (ok - when you are Borg ... but not here^^).

And when you get Ava's Date it just says "Her man" - and she still becomes Prom Queen? ... nope. When you pick Arvin ... " Arvin knocked politely at the front door and there was the requisite awkward exchange between him and Arvin." - that is ... interesting. :D

After that, I get an error at the first sex partner.

The whole part feels a bit disconnected because of the order of events.


All in all this is a fun start ... but I really hope this game will progress faster than ... "the other one" ...

Will keep an eye on this :)

Yep!

For a while, old saves won't work.

what are all the personality traits possible? been trying to see if i could get the mc's top trait to be shy but don't even know if that exists, closest traits to that I've seen so far are awkward and quirky?

verified and confirmed - we'll try to improve it for the next release.

Do you have a save with the error or more details? Was trying to reproduce it but there are multiple paths/outcomes there and did not error on me.

Glad that you liked it Trasher2018!

There is no Shy trait per so but we do track how Confident your character is based on your choices and events that you get her into.

We might introduce "reduced motion" mode that is now available on most mobile phones - we could disable all animations and timed effects with that. Worth considering for sure!

And thanks Enthusiass! Happy to hear that the effort put into polishing the UX/UI is paying back!
