Some bad (and slightly good) news for those of you who enjoyed this game, and are not following his patreon.



Hello my dear patrons, after a few months I'm back with some bad news unfortunately but also good news as well.
The bad news is that in december I received all the pieces to build a new better PC, so I assembled it but the damn power supply was broken so It fried all the other pieces, that means that I have lost all the files for Corrupting the Intern and Lust and Revenge... great.
Immediately after that I looked for a job to get a new PC as soon as possible and only got the refund for the power supply... awesome.
It took me a few months but as soon as I got the new PC I started working on a new game based on the brothel mechanic from Lust and Revenge since everyone seemed to like that.
The new game is still in a very early version and may feel a bit rushed because I have decided to release it this month for +$5 patrons as a sorry for these empty months.
I'm truly sorry for disappointing so many of you and I understand why those who left did so, also I want to thank those who stuck with me!
That's all for now, go play the new game!

"It fried all the other pieces, that means that I have lost all the files for Corrupting the Intern and Lust and Revenge... great."
What a pathetic excuse, anyone who do any coding or rendering for more than a month will have like 5 backups of everything on 3 different storage devices.

Everyone in my computer engineering class have at least a pendrive with latest and/or important stuff, most of them have also cloud storage, a copy on home PC and ofc. original copy on uni PC.

@EdgeOfShadow Don't you know? As soon as you declare yourself a porn game Dev, all the lightning seem to struck into your home, powersurges constantly fry your PSU which always turn out to be the faulty ones of their series and in turn fry everything in your PC, all the time but at least twice a year. If somehow not, then the mailman gets lost with your new GPU no matter if he never does when its just bills, if its something you need to work on your game... its a bound spell, it confuses the mail services, they miss the street, often the whole continent in fact if its you they have to deliver.
Your relatives then starts to die off. Parents, siblings, the family dog, the family cat of your best friend.
When your rig works then you get hopsitalized. Can't access the internet then, for at least a month or two.

You see, this is a high hazard job that takes a huge toll on those who choose it. But luckily for us there are heroic men and women out there who sacrifice everything to bring us the lewds! :sneaky:

Well, I can quite believe the bad luck of the game devs.
Some days ago I tried to export a quite heavy 3d scene from Blender to a specific format, using a well tested plugin, which, btw, was supposed to do some of the light baking automatically.
Cool, right?
Well, my PC completely died. And I don't mean that, simply, it was slow. Or that it freezed while everything was going on in the background with no feedback for me.
No.
The yellow light of the HDD stopped to flash. The fans stopped to do that noise so useful to get asleep. After 30 mins without any sign of life, I was forced to turn off the PC the hard way.
When I tried to turn it on again, the splash screen started to flash on and off. I tried to not panic: "Come on, maybe the good old Ubuntu is just recovering what it can recover and cleaning all the rest." After some minutes I gave up.
Luckily, on a second try, things worked.

TL;DR even with some quite tested and resilient software as Blender and Ubuntu, just a simple 3d scene exporting created some big issue to my PC, which served me well for years, so it is no wonder for me that a lot of game devs have problems and "accidents".

wait... your power supply fried the whole system? and they didnt refund everything it broke? ever thought about sueing them? not just for the other parts but also for the work it destroyed? (should also be a sizable investment!?)

Anyone who knows why clementine continues to turn down advances at the coffee stand?! I've gotten through all courses and now she works as a stripper.

There is an easier way to get money:
- after unpacking the game to the directory of your choice (I will call it GAMEDIR for this post) use the windows explorer and go to GAMEDIR\renpy\common
- search for the file 00console.rpy and open it with notepad or winpad
- look for a line with this content:
config.console = False
and change that to
config.console = True
and close/save the file
- now start the game (or load a saved game) and press
Shift+o
(Shift and O key at the same time)
- This should bring up the renpy console (you see a cursor in the upper left screen)
- now enter
money=50000
or whatever amount you need and press return/enter
- then enter
quit
followed by return/enter and you will have 50000 (or whatever) as new money value and can forget about saving/loading the game if you lose at the casino part...

That's easier? I suppose after you've done that on a few games it would become second nature, but I'll stick with being a save / load whore. ;)
I agree (y), if everyone were that "technically able", we'd be all making our own games, instead of playing others games :rolleyes: .

regarding "we'd be all making our own games" ... I wish it would be that easy to create a game :)...

I guess I would probably be able to do the coding after some initial work with a scripting language like renpy, but I am not much of an artist and would have to rely heavily on tools with prebuild (probably expensive) models/graphics, etc... it definitely sounds nice to quit my job, start a patreon account (or better a website of my own with no patreon-like restrictions and an option for those interested in the game to donate money in exchange of regular game updates... the outcome should be more or less the same but at least the xxxx guys from patreon would be cut out)... but... at the moment and as long as one has a job it's so much easier to visit places like f95zone and happily download already existing games - thanks a lot for that possibility by the way :)!
