He came out with a third episode, a few months ago I think, called "Back 2 Basics" it was the one after the Pool Party. So if you played the update after the pool party you're up to date, if not, maybe another issue *Shrug*

People hated pretty much the entire Episode. He has already rewritten some of the dialogue that people had especially problems with. But after the positive feedback for Episode 3 he decided to make a revamp of Episode 2 and hoping to get players who gave up on the game to give it a new shot. My guess is that Episode 3 sold much worse than the first 2 episodes because of Episode 2.
This is what they said:
"With Episode 3 out of the way, we thought it'd be good to revisit Episode 2. We're currently working a revamp that will add new core storylines, remove others (such as the Amber detective storyline) and overhaul all existing scenes. We'll be adding a large amount of new scenes and sex scenes with the goal of Episode 2 feeling completely different, much more in line with the College Kings you know and love, and worthy of replaying.
This update will come Summer 2023 and will be free to all existing owners of Episode 2."
I think the problem with the Amber detective storyline was, like you say, that it ends up feeling pointless. It was mostly made as a parody, a joke. But there were some potentials in the gameplay. If it had been a genuin little mystery that intrigued players and had and interesting payout then it could have been really fun.
But apparently they got so many complaints about it that they decided it was unsavable.
No, the Pool Party was in Episode 2. It's even called "The Pool Party". "Back to Basic" had Nora's Sleepover Party.

Ah, okay... seems like it's been a while. Ah well. Plenty of other games to play. I'm getting so I don't bother checking on this much anymore.
All save files were not using any mods which is why i was surprised that none of the work with the updated files.
I will try the new update and hopefully the saves will work.
Appreciate the heads up on the update.
EDIT: 3.19 is not available on here so my save game issue was never resolved and I could not play the update.

College kings has three acts while College kings 2 has three episodes. Dev should've stick to the same label I think, still could change in one of the games to be more consistent.
Here it's messed up though, the 2 games shouldn't be labelled as act 1 & 2 because Act 1 & 2 are parts of the original game, 1st was the original, free release on Steam and 2nd came as a DLC just like the 3rd before dev decided to split the game in to two because of the size and possibly issues with the code. At some point it was a 33GB download on Steam only up until Act 3. They cleaned up a lot of things and still working on it so now it's just 14GB.
I guess mods should drop the label "act" and call the two games part 1 and 2 or better simply College kings 1 and 2 to avoid this confusion with actual game versions. Or even create an own thread for College kings 2 since it's a standalone game, that would be the less confusing solution at this point!
I also hope the writer situation gets resolved and they'll find someone reliable because playing other college themed games and seeing some getting abandoned makes me appreciate this one more and more!

Is there a fix for the "gallery unlocker" not being there anymore ?
I tried the old gallery unlocker, but it gives an error and starts a new game :/

That's what I was saying. There was one after Pool Party that was the third episode named Back to Basics. I think I may have said it weird lol. But we both are saying the same thing.

Season 1 is from before they decided to make College Kings 2 so it continues into what becomes College Kings 2 Episode 1. So do like richiman explained and ignore season 1.
I have 3.1.8, yet my game ends right after the Chicks election. What do I have to do to get Episode 2 and 3?

After reading the latest Patreon post, glad the Amber detective stuff isn't entirely removed as at least the cabin one is still present. it was fun and interesting, but just felt weird when it returns so abruptly. As a big Penelope fan, hope it means the entire AVN thing is gone, from a storytelling perspective, felt odd that Penelope and Lauren both got new subplot goals revolving around artistic ventures with a sexy angle and both are revealed not too far apart from each other.
