You should add a disable and enable button so if people are not into that stuff they have the option to disable it, btw keep up the awesome work
Maybe you're right. In this version I added the option to skip the minigame if you won it at least once. I consider it fair enough and this way I make the player try it at least once. If he doesn't like it, he can always skip it from then on. Yours is not a bad suggestion, though.

The library game is one i really would appreciate seeing scrapped, honestly. :cautious:

Finding those stat requirements mid-fuck can be a bit bothersome too, but as you can "redo right" those parts later on through the models/replay box, it's all right i guess.

Also.... an option try to convince Aliyah not to fuck with the MC?! WHY????? :oops::eek:

HAHAHAHA I must admit this is a bit strange for a porn game, after all... But you know, I tried to put me into the MC skin: he probably wouldn't want to fuck Aliyah right after what she told him. I know, it's a bit forced though haha

Considering how much he oogled her in previous scenes AND her teasing - i would find that doubtful EVEN out of a porn game. :p

Question - jumping out of the window AGAIN makes any difference? As i did not have Strength 4 i could not try it and there's no way to replay it aafter you do the hotel sequence, so i'd like to know.

edit: found a way abusing a bit of rollback & stuff. No real difference in jumping the window, such unrewarding paths. :poop:


On an aside, are there more scenes with Maya beside the naked stretching? Must say i find it curious the game says "nothing more with Vicky in this version" when you go to her house instead of the "no reason to be here" you get from trying to go into the other ladies places.
I must say that can be a little confusing, like there's more to do with them but the player did not find it - something like an icon to confirm if the player has unlocked all the scenes of a girl in the current version could be helpful. just my two cents of thought.

The thing is that there are a few hidden stats that are increased or decreased when the player does or doesn't do certain things. They're hidden from the UI because this way, later events and eventual game endings will come up in a more natural way.
Not jumping out of the window again makes the player relieve himself inside the closet, and then someone hears him scream, which makes certain stat increase. Nothing the gamer would have to worry too much about!

The difference between both messages is that, with the "nothing more in this version" one, the game is implying that you have a task to complete in that place, with that character and at that time of day, but it's not implemented in the current version of the game.
On the other hand, the "no reason to be here" one implies that there's literally nothing to do in that place at that time of day.
It might seem confusing, but I believe showing one of the messages for both circumstances will be more confusing...
Either way, the splashscreen that indicates the ending of the current version means literally that there's nothing more to do in that version, and the fact that you can't go to any location anymore confirms it.

Also, about the rollback thing... I've never been quite a fan of that RenPy feature, and I could easily disable it, but I think it's fair to keep it and also it's consistent with the type of game Clockwork Poison is.

So their resolution might lead into different events in the future, like how some of the MC encounters - the two ladies in the gym (and showing your dick or not), eavesdroping on the militiawomen or talking to the hotel attendant in the entrance - might all lead to the militia being more suspicious or outright aware of the MC's existence, among other things.

So the first could be read as a sort of indirect warning to look out for Vicky in the next versions, while in the other girls case it's less certain (there might be content, there might be not, but either way not plot-relevant at the time of writing), i get your point.

And in fact makes sense to point out to Vicky, considering how the final stretch of v0.3 relates directly to her dad's mysterious whereabouts.

Also, about the rollback thing... I've never been quite a fan of that RenPy feature, and I could easily disable it, but I think it's fair to keep it and also it's consistent with the type of game Clockwork Poison is.
Well, it does help with not having to replay a large chunk of a game just to retry that one particular scene, so no grievances from my part. ;)

Clockwork Poison updated to v0.4! You can find the download links in the first post!

This v0.4 is a large update, and you will find story progression as well as new characters, new locations, and new mechanics! For instance, now you will be able to spend the night at some girls' places, apart from your own home. You will also find new menus and UI improvements!

Here's the whole changelog, which you also can find in the first post:
- Added a market (?)
- Added a minigame to earn money
- Added five new locations
- Added three new characters
- Added many new scenes for both new and already known characters
- Added a new icon to indicate where the player can sleep at night
- Added an extra replay button to the girls list, to rewatch scenes other than the main characters' ones
- Added a music room in the main menu
- Minor bugs fixed
- Added a bug report form in the main menu

I know this might not be the right place to say this, but you can support the project on if you really like the game! You will be able to play new versions before anyone else, among other benefits, and I'd be more than thankful!
Thank you!

Could the mini games for the stats be removed please?
Since version 0.3 you can skip them once you've completed them at least once.
They are not hard, are they? Should I make them so that you can skip them even if you've never played them?
I mean, I get your point, but some people do enjoy these minigames.

I have had difficulty with the music one more than others. Perhaps an easier sort of mini game or just a short video to watch so you get the stat?

There are no cheats other than the generic ones (i.e. using Cheat Engine, editing your save with , and stuff)
That being said, you should know the guitar mini game does work, though it's true that you got lag with every hit due to the game engine and it can be a little tricky at first.

You're lucky, because there will be another ebony girl and another asian one, as well as another half-asian girl.
