I've just started the game, I'm playing with the walkthrough and cheatmods. Whenever I get to the choosing someone for the party the game breaks and tells me there's missing files.
Because you want to tell a futuristic noir story in a world of megacorporations and cool tech, and you've already established yourself as a porn/adult game developer?Why else would you put a porn game in a cyberpunk setting?
Of course you're deterred, if you expect to not like something. But how is that relevant? Wouldn't you just never touch a game, if you expect to not like it?Oh, well, as far as game expectations are concerned, what is appealing for some people is a deterrent for others.
But wouldn't it be nice, if the sex scenes weren't tacked on, but followed the theme of the rest of the game. This would showcase artistic vision and skill.Because you want to tell a futuristic noir story in a world of megacorporations and cool tech, and you've already established yourself as a porn/adult game developer?
I don't think sexy cyber girls are all that niche and cyberpunk is pretty popular in general. Noir detective stories are also a staple of the genre. The noir style of the game shows that Phillygames has the knowledge and skill to handle cyberpunk. It's just the sex scene that are a little lacking in that regard imo.I can see the appeal of exotic scenes that show off the full capabilities of a setting in which the meat is optional and tech is king. On the other hand, for the most part I think that's going to be a somewhat niche kink for a lot of people, so it wouldn't really be broadening the audience to focus heavily on it. Plus, it probably would take away from the noir flavor of most relationships to some degree, which is probably a large part of why the dev's not overly interested in exploring that angle. That being said, there've been at least a few nods in that direction as well.

Should all porn games be genreless to please as many patrons as possible? Would you put a game in a post-apocalyptic setting, but then never have any tragedies, because that would kill your patron's vibe and make them unsub?

Right no its just the one cheatmod and the scrappy walkthrough mod that's compatible with it. As for downloads I used the torrent.Hm... Two questions:
1. You said 'cheatmods'. Are you using several mods? Because I usually don't recommend that.
2. Which download site did you use? It could be that there's an incomplete version somewhere.
I would be very helpful if you could share the error you're getting.Right no its just the one cheatmod and the scrappy walkthrough mod that's compatible with it. As for downloads I used the torrent.

Look at this post, and you'll know the current situation:any predictions on when the next update might release ? i cant wait anymore XD
```I would be very helpful if you could share the error you're getting.
(btw, the cheatmod will not cause such issue, the walkthroughmod could (because is changes gamefiles))
This is caused by the walkthrough mod. This was first reported almost 2 years ago, see this post.```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

This is the error, it happens regardless of who I choose for the party.
I see, thanks. So is the only fix to remove the mod?This is caused by the walkthrough mod. This was first reported almost 2 years ago, see this post.
That's the easiest solutionI see, thanks. So is the only fix to remove the mod?
Fix it yourself, ask mod dev to fix it, or find someone else to fix itAny other solutions?
Is there an option to ignore the error? Because that might work.Any other solutions?
Sends it back to the title screenIs there an option to ignore the error? Because that might work.
Ah, okay. Yeah, either fixing it yourself or getting rid of the mod are your only options, I'm afraid.Sends it back to the title screen
