Anyone else having trouble with the save games from v0.2.0 to v0.2.5? I have tried rollback, ignore, copy and paste and I am still getting kicked back to the start. If this is a one time deal or just my individual issue - okay, if this is like a couple of the other games I have played where every version has to be started from the beginning, well then, no patron and no play.

Here is the traceback:
Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

ChainZero Great update, loved the footjob scene as well like others have mentioned. Hope there will be plenty more feet stuff to come. One small thing though, in chapter 1 Ayana had painted toenails but from chapter 2 onward her feet are back to natural (unpolished). Any chance we can see them restored to their pedicured glory? :) Personally I just find it gives it that little something extra when a girl has painted toenails

I honestly don't know the issue here. A few others have reported the same thing on release day, but I haven't gotten overwhelming reports about it, so I just assume this is a problem on their end. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary for saves to be incompatible that's why this issue is kind of beyond me at the moment. I did upload a fixed version for other bugs a few days ago which hasn't been uploaded here yet. I don't know if this is a contributing factor, but in that fix, I built it after I deleted the persistent data and other saves in my own AppData folder.

Do you have more than one save? If so, is it the same result? As I said, it doesn't seem to be happening with everyone. You're only about the 3rd or 4th person to have this report.

I honestly can't agree there . I actually really hate painted nails. I like white nails. Hate almost every other color, especially red. Red nails are almost a boner killer for me, seriously. I wish I was making that up, it's that bad, lol :LOL:. I don't understand why, but I just really have a strong dislike for painted nails.

That doesn't mean I won't give them painted nails though. I'll do this, primarily because I want them to act as if they were real people with their own preferences, not always catering to my preferences, so I'll definitely do this. It probably just won't be red lol.

Fair enough, I'm just one person and it is your game so of course you can do whatever you like :) Red nails aren't really my thing either so at least we can agree there (black and dark blue are my faves). I actually thought the nails Ayana had originally were pretty cool and unique with the different colors. But I can live with natural nails because Ayana is hot as fk o_O Anyway keep up the great work man

I personally wouldn't think any of the characters in the game are "black" if I saw them IRL. I'd think they're either white, latino/hispanic or mixed, but not "black". I'd even guess asian before guessing they're black.

Now, if they're "black" as in they have 10% DNA from african heritage, then sure, but IMO that doesn't count. They'd be mixed race, a majority of their genes would be something else and african (black) would be a minor part thats not outwardly noticeable.
As a black guy who is on the lighter side of the "black spectrum" it doesn't matter. You're still Black even if you're whiter than Casper the Friendly Ghost. Both to other Black people and to American society at large.

Not to other black people in South Africa. In South Africa you will be classified as Mixed race due to your Non-Black Heritage. Point I made a couple of pages back.

But you are right in a US context of course and that is where the game is taking place. So a moot point really.

Oh absolutely on the South Africa point.
I don't think i saw your original post but that one stuck out to me enough to comment on.

Before i get started, want to say thank you for the game you made ChainZero ,As a woman I have been using this site for some time, i tried harder to be a viewer than to write something that doesn't hurt at all,But your game impressed me so much that I am writing about it,The first thing I like about your game is its simplicity without the particular complexity of being annoying.

The second thing is the conversation between the main character and everyone who has a relationship with them which is very deep and at the same time clear and shinny that I like this point very much.

And last but not least, It's been a long time since I've been looking for a game with a good story that think i found.

Thanks again for the unique game you made.

Same problem for me with ALL saves. A shame if I have to give up on this one. I liked it a lot.

It happens on every save - I guess I will start over and hope there is something corrupted on my end. Just frustrating is all. Keep up the good work.

Hey man, gave this game a chance and I have to say I have no regrets. It's been a long time since I've played such a promising game. Congrats!

That was a nice touch BTW, the way you programmed that scene if named a certain term that is very popular in these type of games. And it didn't even break immersion because that's totally how I think Anyana would react in character. I actually laughed hard. :ROFLMAO: (y)

Loved the game so far, it's a 5 star game imo, it's rare to find a game when you actually go "I don't care about sex scenes just give me MOWAAAR"...I even love Ayana and how complex her relationship with the MC is...the only thing I don't like is the anxiety Michelle's potential relationship dynamic gives me, I am talking about the potential LI that is in the same time a potential "rival" regarding the other LIs, I am not asking the dev to change his story, just asking of a way out of any "competition" with Michelle or any forced "FF+M" relationship where if you want to pursue a relationship with LI X you have to accept LI Y as her lover/sexfriend...just give me a chance at a monogamous relationship with the main LIs (including Michelle)...if that's not an option then I wish you the best of luck from the bottom of my heart...the game is looking good and deserves more support...if there is no way around "FF+M" complicated relationships then you're gonna have one less player but not one less supporter.
PS: I've been cheated on by my ex gf and it was with a girl...that's why, contrary to many male adult VN fans, FFM relationships give me the same negative emotions NTR VNs give

Just played this game for the 1st time (v0.2.5)
And i have to say i was really pleasantly surprised by how good it is.

The Positives:~ The writing is really good, nice graphics & models. Honestly it is so great & appealing to the eyes to see new models & backgrounds that have not been reused in so many other games (I mean 95% of all games have the exact same clothes shop). I can see & feel how the dev was so meticulous (in a good way) about so many aspects of the game. Like how the characters eyes go up & down & when they pout etc, it melts well with the dialogue & atmosphere.

The Negative:~ More people need to play this game & not to sound condescending but also learn from it. Like how to make the dialogue, atmosphere, & images blend better.

I'll be really looking forward for this game in the future & i hope this game does not get abandoned.

Been a while since I've played a a porn game where the engrish is actually English. I wasn't exactly actively looking for typos or grammatical errors but I don't think I encountered one so that's nice. And the girls are hot af. The story is somehow interesting and engaging even though there's no grand plot (that I'm aware of), probably the way the story is told and how the characters are realistic and relatable that makes this game fun. Looking forward to more hot sex scenes. Especially that promised twincest ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I guess I'm kind of cold but I would be pissed and wanting to know why the hell the mom got rid of me. I'm enjoying the game besides not having an option to be bitter. Dying or not she owes the mc an explanation imo.
