OK...I understand the whole "step" thing alright? Except Sunny is introduced as your TWIN sister, then suddenly she is your STEP sister????? How does THAT happen? She's either your twin, or your step, but not physically possible to be both.
Where are you seeing that in the game? How they refer to each other should change based on whether the toggle is enabled or not.

sitting at the dining room table discussing Marcus party invite, Sunny says "That's so not fair" and then this.

and after Liza says "And how's the man of the house?"

right at the very beginning when you are going thru the naming convention.

I disabled NTR, enabled INCEST

Looking at the gallery I realized I missed 2 scenes: Sofia giving BJs to both Marcus and the MC at the end of the party; an a scene in a só called neutral route where the mom remembers havung sex. How can I get them?
BETA route, 2 Sophie Like points before the end scene, and you can't kiss her in one of the rounds.

That last scene isn't in my version of the game. It was either added by the mod or it's a bug. I did get an error when I clicked on neutral on my version, though. So thanks for pointing this out, it'll get addressed by the next release.

Yeah, that sounds like mod issues, but let me know. I checked the line of code it's talking about and in my released version it's "if persistent.showNtr" and it's on a completely different line.

And I'll try your steps and see if I can replicate.

Guide is also enabled. so

ON: Guide and INCEST
OFF: NTR

also if it matters: Start new game
and ALPHA Route


EDIT: Mod issue...w/o the mod, I've gone thru to where the MC meets Sophie in Marcus' driveway without issues. Though the beginning naming thing with "this is your twin sister", and "this is your step sister" is still present.

Yeah, I'm not seeing it in the source code for the release and can't replicate it. I'm not sure how the mod works. If it works by replacing an entire file, than I would assume that you're seeing a bug in the mod.

Does this get rid of all the dream sequences and turn them into actual encounters that happen?

Posting here because I think it's interesting.

Here's some full image generation examples from an over-trained, burned out earlier model:

Now that I know a little more, the newer models do a lot better:

I'm sorry to say that I don't think this tech is capable of creating entire scenes without a great deal of luck and probably days of wasted work, but it was an interesting experiment.

Model use for expression changes still seems valid, though.

I get a lot of private messages on this site, so I made a Discord if that's easier/more comfortable for people. I'll still respond here like I normally do, so no pressure.

I was able to replicate your issue finally. The backend code of the incest toggle allows rollbacks that can revert the change, but the toggle will still show as "Enabled". It can be fixed by turning off the toggle and then turning it back on. Thanks for pointing that out. Let me know if you want to be credited in the change log.

edit: I've fixed the bug. It will be included in the next release.

A Good Samaritan gave me a license to the software I wanted. I’m not 100% sure if it’s legit or not, but it works.

The first upscaled renders will be in the next update for the intro and first day. Depending on the response, I may do more.

This link is expired.
Thanks for letting me know.

(Link removed. New link should be on the first post of the thread.)

Update will probably be finished this month unless something unexpected happens.

I also managed to come up with a solution for one of the major problems in the game. Most of the main girls don't talk to each other or are never present in the same room. Remove background tools have gotten a lot better than I remember them being. I can just extract out the model and then layer it in the Renpy engine or create a layered image in gimp/photoshop. I can create my own backgrounds by removing the characters using that AI tool.

I'll probably keep these scenes limited because of lighting/perspective challenges, but it gives me an excuse to learn Photoshop. The example pic has several issues (differing layer resolutions, lighting, etc), but I think it demonstrates what's going to be possible. I'm thinking I could make scenes kind of like how they have in "Our Red Strings".

Hope to see some hot content with Dr Rai) Would be great to see her as some domina character
There will be some Rai content in the this upcoming update.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication in putting together this improved version of the original game at no profit to you. You're truly great. The OG game is on a downhill with terrible writing and spelling errors in the recent update so it's great that fans can turn to your adaptation for a better overall experience. Much love and keep it up!

I'm actually kind of proud of this one. I think it really shows off the potential of the rewrite. It includes the first reintegrated dream sex sequence that I've converted into an actual scene, with several variant flavors for potential routes. I may have to adjust some dialogue and the timing for some of the lewd scenes, but overall I think I provided enough justification.

Unfortunately for the people who’ve been asking me, there is no new Emma content in this update. I integrate new days by taking the original game’s script code as a frame. But there just wasn’t any good Emma stuff to include.

But I have been seeing the same content gaps as all of you, so the next update will attempt to bring some of that future content from the non-family member characters to earlier in the game. Some small, but key changes in this update were done to facilitate that goal.

There is one minor path quirk for ALPHA players. I wrote a scene (for the mom) and then realized it wouldn’t actually show until later. I decided to keep it there for now, but I added a menu choice making it an optional preview. There is only one variant right now, but there will probably be others when it's connected for real. I will keep it in this release, but if it doesn’t get a proper connector scene in the next, it will be disconnected to be re-added later.

Also, a gentle reminder, but I would not expect this kind of pace in the future. My time of unemployment is drawing to a close. Instead of being able to dedicate entire days to this project during a week, it’ll likely be reduced to hours. I could maybe justify spending more time on it if I was getting paid, but even then it would never reach this kind of development speed. As much as I like working on this, I do have people who rely on me economically and I need a salary from a full-time role.

I’m not abandoning the project or anything, but I wanted to set realistic expectations for the future. Based on what I’ve observed so far, I’m thinking I could still hit two to three updates a year, but it’s hard to predict what my life will be like in the future.

----

Highlights and Features:
- All - New and updated renders added sporadically throughout. See changelog for details.
- All - Maude opened up to BETA playthroughs. Scenes and dialogues updated to reflect this.
- All - Aunt Liza scenes are now optional. Scenes and dialogue updated to reflect this.
- Bug - Incest toggle bug fixed. The toggle now verifies state before making a change. If you still have issues, please toggle on, then off.
- Day 11 and 12 added. Most of the scenes were completely rewritten, renders reorganized, so they barely resemble the original. Earlier cut scenes integrated into these days.
- Day 12 - Mother - The mother dream sequence from Day 11 reinterpreted as a real scene.
- Day 12 - Sister - Reinterpreted and rewrote multiple variations of the sister workout scene.
- Day 12 - Mom - A scene was added for routes where the mother discovered the mc and sister. It’s tuned for beta routes currently, but I’ve left it open for alpha players. Please see above for an explanation.
- Day 12 - Because of above, an alpha sex scene was written too early for its sequence. I've added it as a preview. It will be disconnected from v0.40 if it doesn't get a viable connecting scene, but it will be reconnected at a later time.
- Day 12 - Wrote additional mother/sister night scenes responding to what happened during the day.

How to get new lewds:
-The sister content (2 scenes, 2 versions each) for both statuses is dependent on being in a relationship, with other factors changing things about it.
-The mother content (3 versions, 1 preview) is also dependent on a sis relationship, with the additional caveat that she needs to catch you in and sis together in Day 10 for betas. Because of the preview scene, alphas can also see a variation of the scene if they did something bad to a family member on Day 8. A beta that did something bad will also get a variant scene.
- Some single frame scenes with associated dialogue for post-workout.
