I'm not so sure all the bugs will be spotted and fixed by then. I think it's safer to wait for V0.18.
The next release is for steam so most of the problems SHOULD be fixed (I hope). If the problems aren't all fixed, then I would expect they will be taken care of quickly.
I somehow doubt that helped...For it to help People would have to read your Post first instead of just downloading the Beta and playing it directly.
Yeah, this is the second or third time I've written this sort of post, but I am optimistic with my pessimism about others reading :)

Just some thoughts.

Best advice is don't play Beta versions. Wait for full release. That way you won't encounter too many issues & inconsistencies.
Or do play it, properly adjust your expectations since you're realizing you're playing a (leaked, never meant for public) beta, make note of stuff you encounter, and be a helpful bud (instead of just a leech) & report back your findings. (Talking in general btw, not to you personally.)

Would have helped if OP came with a big fat warning I suppose; this thread would've been better off with most people skipping it.

Not sure if that would make much difference, having eyes is a luxury for some people

Right. I forgot that it had that Banner there. Some People really have selective perception... :FacePalm:

If someone ignores that warning then they shouldn't be allowed to complain about it.
Yeah, I posted about that banner on the V0.17 title screen a couple of pages back to educate another F95 user on the fact that V0.17 is an internal beta preview build and some content/missing animations is a given that it's only an internal beta preview release build.

Raising awareness about the fact that there is a banner can only do so much if people choose not to read things more carefully I'm afraid...

Yeah I forgot about that Banner since I wanted to wait until it's out of the Beta.

You'd be surprised how often Zoner's miss even that...

So the banner was introduced as a failsafe for those who don't understand what a "beta" entails. And even then, people still get confused and don't read.

Long story short, we can't help people who can't help themselves I'm afraid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

passion and flaming optimism
My conviction and love for the Zone are as strong as my lust-filled thoughts of depravity and degeneracy ;)

Some (more) findings after my (swift - ctrl'ed some bits) 0.17 beta playthrough.

Story/events (quirks & remarks) (spoiler alert)
  • with forceplay disabled, you don't have the option to 'play' with Kyra in your basement. Zaton just wakes her up, but then starts fucking her out of nowhere anyway :LOL:
  • I got an event with the car where I had the option 'check condition'. Suddenly (immediately after clicking) I ended up @ Asani's, taking the new car back with me. I had Kyra still imprisoned at that point, and not yet visited Adira with her. (Possibly related to the Ain events quirks?)
  • Shani + Zaton @ oasis in tent: some old renders (sun/outside) in between?
  • it felt it took a (too) long time for Shani to report to the queen after returned from the Zone;
  • when you get the option to talk to all the settlement inhabitants after the Raider takeover, there's some apparent mess up in chronology with the guy that gets a slave. You can talk to him twice consecutively. First we see the slave in full femdom mode (which should happen at a later point perhaps?), then immediately visiting him again, he just got his slave, and she's submissive.
Typos / text quirks

whowhere/whencorrected
Zaton -> KyraBasementZaton tells Kyra he found her in a cageKyra was found lying wasted on a table
Ain -> ShaniBefore going to market"Do you think dad is still mad at me for causing the elf to escape?"...
ZatonHiveThe's too many ...There's too many ...
MantisI have what's out there ...I have seen ...
ZatonDo you want to find out why I your friend lets me ...Do you want to find out why your friend lets me ...

Uncaught Exception

Sorry don't remember where/when/how following occurred:
Code:
File "game/scripts/mutants.rpy", line 841, in <module>
NameError: name 'ml_deepthroat_degraded' is not defined

Various/other
  • when entering the bunker for the 1st time, there's an Ivy shot/render that (auto-)fades too quickly;
  • QoL: remember the Options tab that was selected. Eases the pain when tweaking tb opacity, or volume;
  • I just discovered text size & line spacing can be adjusted via Shift+A, great! (Do other games disable that perhaps, or have I been sleeping not paying enough attention to Ren'Py's Accessibility menu? :p). One helpful thing to add would be able to enable a font outline and/or drop shadow, so the tb opacity can comfortably be turned all the way down;
  • personally I'd prefer slightly larger save thumbnails (recognition);
  • some (girls) stats page would be nice?
  • game crashed on me twice, but I was a bit stressing it at those moments I suppose. May just be a Ren'Py (vs. my potato) thing.

Cheers!
Great feedback in an epic formatting.

Hi, relatively new here, just wanted to ask how often does the game get updated?
If nothing out of the norm occurs (steam release) once all 3-4 months.
using a standard time line, that is.
felt time is something else.... ;)
