Then there are people who defend the devs. "8GB aint a problem" "8GB so what?"
If someone has good internet, then 8gb is nothing for him. For example, I have slow and limited internet and I cannot afford to download the game in its original size.

So BIG thank you to the people who compress games! :D for example JokerLeader

With the 0.8.3 hotfix still having bugs, missing renders and other issues, fixing 0.8 to a fully bug free state will take another couple of days. We understand that the disappointment is big, especially since outside of the bugs, this update was very well received. There's exciting storylines, amazing sex scenes and multitude of community suggestions that were implemented. However, all of that is ruined by bugs and inconsistencies as it's hard to immerse yourself in a story that keeps crashing.


Why did the 0.8 release go so wrong?
We believe that the horrible state of the game on release day was not fair to any of you and below our expected standard.
0.8 was in development for 5 weeks. However, only 3 of those weeks were actually used directly on the game. Due to our massive growth, we almost tripled the size of the team, introduced a lot of new processes and revamped all of our organisation of assets and character models. That takes time.

Our only writer also quit unexpectedly, which meant finding a new writer as quickly as we can and altering old scenes to fit the new style. We also bought a render farm, but setup issues cause some renders to turn out grainy, and with thousands of renders being produced, a couple grainy ones are easy to miss.

While growing the team and adapting new processes makes future updates much easier and will increase their quality dramatically, it took away about 2 weeks of development time. As a team we decided to push on with our intended release date regardless, even if that meant a lot of overtime. Some of us worked pretty much 16 hours every day for 2-3 weeks straight.

We finished the development of the update on release day. This didn’t leave much time for beta testing. And even though we found and fixed as many bugs as we could, more deeply rooted issues and a corruption issues with our new download server only complicated the process. In hindsight we should have pushed the release back, but on release day we actually believed that we had found all the bugs. Oh how wrong we were...



Our commitment to bug free releases:
Now that the upgrading and revamping has been done, we no longer have to spend half of the development time on it. We now have a full 5 weeks for the April release. The plot is laid out & writing on 0.9 had already begun before 0.8 was even released. All of our new team members are now worked in and our development process is more organized and streamlined than ever before.

Instead of finishing the update on release day, we intend to finish it 5 days earlier, leaving almost an entire week for beta testing & bug fixing. We want release day issues to be a thing of the past and will do everything we can to achieve that.

Less crunch, fewer bugs and a more high quality update: that’s our commitment for 0.9.

Thank you so much for being so understanding and sending your love to me and the team even when we mess up. It means a lot to us and we truly appreciate being able to work on a game with such an amazing community.

If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them in the comments.

All the best,

- Steve
So in simple terms "too many cooks spoil the broth".

And I didn't get how some poorly rendered images cost the game 8gb, now when I talk about this update and the game, even there are many girls, the path is still not clearly divided like you can get the Chloe lunch scene, Riley store scene, Penellope scene, the fights doesn't matter which path you choose earlier, only difference you get is Apes and Wolf scenes. I think most of the players play on a LI path rather than Apes or Wolf part for sure. And I don't think anyone give a damn about the frets until the girls start playing a part which fret you choose.

Also on a serious topic the dev have released 8 updates and still when you compare ( If I'm correct ) you only get 8-9 lewd scenes in total, of this only 5 are actual sex scene. When you'll read the patreon page of Steve, you'll witness how many big words he use in all the posts like "making CK the best adult game and all".

Making quick updates and working with too many people does not make a good game, I'm not comparing but just have look on BADIK, only one guy making the game, updates are not compared here but except for Jill & Bella you get laid with every LI and side chicks. And don't forget about the Prep Mansion scene in 0.5 update where MC get every girl and everything ( BJ, sex, anal, squirt and my fav Punching Tybalt in slo-mo ). Now here HOCO could have gonne like this but you only get BJ.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I'm not comparing but everyone have to admit that many part of the story is "inspired" by many similar games and there is nothing wrong with that, I think this game is getting all this praises and the a very quick growth in terms of patrons and money in short span of time mostly because of the quick releases of the episodes, but the most important thing about any VN is the game quality and there the problem starts, Steve should focus more on quality of the game rather than quantity if he want to keep up the J shaped growth. ( Sorry for the grammar mistake )

my game was crashing/error reports during the fight scene with the buyers on this update. Had to simulate it to advance the story. Not sure if this is common or my game is just messed up lol.

Anyone recall if previous versions had an update only patch? Only started playing from last version and really hoping to not have to reinstall the whole thing.

how do you get Chloe to agree for homecoming? Chose every possible option that favors her but still can't find a way

If you did, then its probably a bug. On my previous playthrough the game was assuming my MC was in a "relationship" with Lauren because he made out with her on the beach it closes down every path but hers. I rolled back and didnt do that and had every single path available... so, who knows where it might have bugged, really.

really? was on her solo path..avoided everyone else..other paths are available but when I choose Chloe,she never accepts the proposal..it's frustrating.
