I'm well aware it's early access once again, which means everything got changed again. It's like stepping on a rug, and having it pulled out from under you. To me version 5 was coming along nicely with lots of choices, and I was really looking forward to what was next. Then, BAM! Every last choice you had was taken away, and you found yourself suddenly limited to crappy choices. That is my complaint. Why start all over again when you had something really good going on? Now we're back to square one, and it's garbage. Disagree all you want, but that's my opinion, and it is set in stone.

They are redoing it because the corruption was way to fast she works at the coffee shop a few times with toupee boy and boom she's a skank whore fucking every Tom Dick and ugly fat bastard in the game. Though from what I saw of this update you are forced into it right off the bat with toupee boy without doing anything other then entered his shit hole and having 2 options both of which force you into the back room right off the bat though you can tell them to fuck off but that ends the game.

Seems like a few people have questions about where all the content from 0.0.5 went. 0.0.1 - 0.0.5 had several days content along a very specific path involving the coffee shop. This was for two reasons, my Patrons voted for that content and it was easier for me to continue developing a single environment than creating art assets for multiple.
But, it wasn't the story I wanted to tell. I then decided to remove the RPG grind aspects and focus on the story and let that drive what gets created.
My new strategy is to release a day or two of content per release going forward across all story paths. My focus to date has been including all the story paths that should start in day one (If you look in the Docs directory you'll see a walk-through of all the current paths.) including all the characters that get met during day one. You can think of the first few days where you help fill in the blank of what type of person Emily actually is before we actually start telling the story.
What does this mean for content? This means the old content isn't gone forever, just not enabled in the game currently. The old content that happened after day one will be reintroduced with possible changes as the story catches back up. New content consisting of the other story paths are being created to fill out day one.
Update 0.0.6 will release with day one content, 0.0.7 day two content, etc. By update 0.0.12 all the old 0.0.5 content will be in the game and we will move forward from there.
Content still being created for day one:
Anyway, I realized my choice to start over wasn't going to be popular, but I have to tell the story I want to tell regardless.

- Introduction to Frank with a potential job as a model at his studio. See the Drama and thriller paths below.
- Meeting Alondra, a potential roommate and romantic interest. See romance below.
- Meeting Darren and partying at his apartment. See thriller below.
- Reintroducing Zack leading to a potential job at Bill's bar as a waitress. See drama and romance paths.
- Do you want to read a hard core BDSM story to see the impact of that lifestyle on Emily and if she can find some semblance of balance and healthy relationship or will she continue to be preyed upon as another statistic of human trafficking?
- Do you want to read a romance novel (strait or alternative) and see if Emily gets her happily ever after?
- Do you want to read a drama about Emily making touch choices in perusing her dream and either selling out or growing as a person?
- Do you want to read a thriller of what happens once you cross to the bad side of the tracks?
Anyway, I realized my choice to start over wasn't going to be popular, but I have to tell the story I want to tell regardless.

@myuhinny Yep that's about it for this version, if you can call it a version. Personally, IMHO, that it is simply a way for the dev to redirect people to get more money although checking out his P page he seems to be working on it but no firm date on when it will be playable, with good content, is going to be out. Not quite sure how he could create a "game" with 3x the size file download with so little content unless he vastly increased the size of his renders. Don't get me wrong, what he has is written well and the renders are top notch so he can write and get your attention with great renders. I just don't happen to agree with the way he did it is all. I think when he gets back on track this will be a great game. I also hope that he will release the first real version 0.0.6 it will be completely free due to the fact that right now it's for Patrons only and they don't seem to be getting much yet either.

That is only if you choose to follow that path. All others turns the coffee shop into a momentary blip with the story going in other directions.
@suo_mynona Thank you for the update. Was writing my post when yours went up. Based on your posts and the writing so far in the game I think you have a great future as a writer, providing you get the right manager/promoter, but the talent is there. I wish you much success there. Do we have another Stephen King here.

Use unrenpy...
You'll see all the old renders that will be returning as the story progresses. As for the Patreon angle, well anyone reading this thread knows I'm active here.
My normal approach was to release the game here for free the same time I made it available for sale on Itch.io as my goal isn't to make money but to tell a story. My Patreons get pre-release access and can provide feedback that I usually incorporate into the release. Since this is a restart, I wanted to give this community a chance to see behind the scenes and see the work in progress.
The Patreon end page is a placeholder based on feedback on how the old versions just stopped without warning. Consider it a hint to backup and save so you can pickup the story from there in the next release.

Congratulation for doing the ugliest haircut of human history (on Max's path)... Of course i'm exaggerating a lot but Emily was cute and after that atrocious hairy carnage, she seems to have put his head in a unicorn ass.
We are talking about a prospective actor not about the next Kardashian. No one, absolutely no one will hire her on a project. (I know it's not a realistic game but you see my point, I really really really don't like that haircut)

Thanks for the quick feedback.
I think I will wait for v 0.0.6 to be released in it's final form rather than try to play the previous versions. I do like how you tell us in-game what the different colored choices mean and I think I know which path I will choose at the beginning so I have an reasonable idea of what I want to do.

Yes, there will be several paths where she becomes one. Romance paths, Drama paths, Personal growth paths will all have that as potential ending. Some will involve corruption, some not.

It's not a technical issue but a where to release issue. Like what what gamestore allows hard core stories?

I have been and will continue to release the game for free here while selling the current version on Itich.
I dont know the specifics, but I don't think it's a file you sell on a store, just one you open on an android device like any other app. when it's on your device. Though I can be wrong since I never use my phone for porn. I'm not a scrub.

Well, if someone can suggest a mobile app store that allows +18 content, I'll look into it.

Tried the new version.
Story flows way better; I like the setup with seduction, submission and meaningful (red) choices, I like the new renders.
I still hate the pace and uselessness of some of the paths, especially the one at the bar: there you should build a sort of slow corruption path that makes some sense and that you can use to link to other (advanced) paths. Bringing with it all the due consequences. Because it would be hot (different patrons interacting with an hot waitress) and interesting (choices on how to respond) to play, and because it would be 100 better than what there's right now in every way.
My 2c..you're going in the right direction but there's still a lot to do

Cant wait to see this one grow. I really like the idea of the paths you are talking about. I do have to agree with the other person tho. Her original hair looked much better. Not a short hair fan if u put a line down center of face she looks like a man on one half.
