Do you mean when Clementine tells you to snoop around to get more info about the girl ? If so, check the friend list at the right of the profile, you can search it
I am stuck at the same point. I tried typing in Randall and Michael in the friendlist search Bar, because that's the dudes that commented the picture. Didnt show any results. How do you use it?

You need to search for the girl herself, as you got clues regarding her first name. There are only a handful of FG profiles for now, and only the existing ones will show up in your search.
I'll consider making this whole thing a bit easier to figure out

Maybe its just me but theres a bug that causes the chat to randomly scroll up , and it affects me saving the quick time pictures
It's likely related to the changed I implemented in this patch to improve performances. The time window before a pic gets deleted should still be pretty generous but it's one of the things to fix I have under my radar

When is the final version planned for? I'm not asking about the next release, just the final version, or eventually a complete season. Is it a matter of half a year, a year or years?
How many chapters/acts/episodes are planned in total? What's the current percentage of completion? Are we halfway there or is this just the beginning?
Is there a long-term roadmap? If not, maybe you could consider creating one on Trello or similar site?
Is this game planned as a complete work at all or is it more of a never-ending story? Have you thought about possible ending scenarios (you don't have to reveal them - I'm just asking if you already have a vision of them) or are you focusing on the upcoming releases for now?

Good question, it's something I have not gone over in details yet.
My short term vision is obviously focused on day to day dev activities with the periodic releases in mind.
I do have a mid term objective, a complete "chapter" of sorts that would act as a self-contained experience and would provide a good insight on how I envision the gameplay. This would be a matter of months (as in less than a year), and would probably engage a release on mainstream platforms like Steam.
Regarding long-term plans, I have several but it's fully dependent on the support the project gets to keep it alive. For now on, it would be more of a never-ending story (as in, I don't exactly have a set ending in mind), until I'm satisfied with all the characters and storylines included.
For the game in a larger sense however, I have thought about several possibilities in the long-term, such as a story editor to enable community-made scripts and characters, an immersive "real time" gameplay mode, as well as many other things to expand the experience. That's definitely long-term however, pending increasing support to the game and gauging what kind of stuff the players would actually like to see included.

Just a small nitpick for you to consider, I don't know if it even bothers others as much as it bothers me, but there shouldn't be a space before a question mark or an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence. For example:

Wrong:
"So you're in college now, huh ?"
"I'm not a big party guy. This was a bit of an introvert nightmare !"
"I did ! Despite what you may think, I value education !"

Correct:
"So you're in college now, huh?"
"I'm not a big party guy. This was a bit of an introvert nightmare!"
"I did! Despite what you may think, I value education!"

The game's still great, so don't take this as me trying to dunk on you for a minor grammar mistake or anything like that. But you use a lot of exclamation marks in the responses so it's very noticeable.

I also saw you were trying to keep the dialogue gender-neutral so people can select gender later on, so I'll also point out that the line "I'm not a big party guy. This was a bit of an introvert nightmare!" (3rd message from MC to Clementine) should probably be changed to "I'm not a big party person. This was a bit of an introvert nightmare!"

Keep up the great work!

Hah, you are indeed correct. In my defence, my native language does require a space so it gets confusing!

Regarding the second point, the dialogue is not exactly gender-neutral, but adjusted depending on the gender you set for your character. In the example you mentioned, if you set it as "Female", it becomes:

Yeah, I did presume that was the case, I've seen it often.

Ah, I see. I thought the gender selection was coming at a later point. I must've not noticed I made the option at some point. My bad!

v0.15 Public Update - The party goes on, ManyFans gets a big overhaul, and more

Happy new year y'all,
And to celebrate, fifth update is coming right up !
Note : as per usual, as a bunch of new content and features are added, old save files are not compatible, better start fresh !
Remember that the tutorial bits can be skipped, and you also can set the message speed in the settings if you want to speed past the beginning of the story.
Until I come up with a better way for returning players to jump right from the new content, I'll stick to providing save files with everything unlocked loading up right before the new content. Remember that you can change your name and gender from the Contacts app.
Thus, there are two save files included that put you right at the end of 0.14, with everything unlocked. There is one for each dress you may have chosen for Clem at the beginning of day 2 (this is the choice that visually impacts the content of this update). However, I do recommend starting from the beginning for immersion purposes and because the early content (namely the first Jade stream) can now be experienced with the new features.


What's new ?

New content, new features. No new characters as we are focusing on Clem, with a bit of Jade content thrown for good measure. Jade will follow up on her previous professional offer, and have you get down to business ! But some unexpected events will allow you to peer through the hidden veil of closed doors and present you with a final, important decision.


Improving ManyFans

Lots of stuff to talk about here ! You'll notice a few visual changes on the interface, though you shouldn't be too confused. Internally, a lot has been reworked to accomodate new features and be overall more robust.

You can know screenshot a livestream, allowing you to preserve that sweet content that would have been lost to the passage of time, and enjoy those pictures in your gallery where you'll be able to use your editing tools, as you're now accustomed to.

More importantly, you will be able to see things from the other side as you will now manage an account and get access to all manners of new stuff, and gain control of the broadcasts.

I tried to improve immersion, so the livestream chat should now feel more alive and realistic. As with most immersion-related concerns, it will now be about filling the app with filler content (in that case, random users and comments)

I won't spoil too much, I encourage you to play it out and see what you can do !


On the technical side

The usual bugfixes, though this time around I was a bit more focused on overall improvements to the code base. Reworking ManyFans had me chasing away legacy issues and inconsistencies in the code, which I will keep trying to clean and maintain. It's getting pretty big now, way bigger than the small demonstration project it started as so it will be increasingly important to have a clean codebase with well implemented design patterns.



What's next ?

New content is still the goal but I will confer with my patrons to decide where I shift my focus more specifically.
Next step is wrapping up the 2nd day and the party arc, then we'll see where we go from here.
Please keep the feedback coming, it's what allows the game to improve !
As always, this project is my only focus for now and thus, I'm fully reliant on your support to keep going.
To keep the project alive, get early access to the content and get some sneak peeks of the upcoming content, feel free to become a !

Love it, great work so far.
Ran across a little bug when exiting a session to reload an earlier save; When you are supposed to comment underneath Clem's picture and have already done so in an later save, the answer still remains, solved by exiting the game completely.

The scrollbar visibility was a deliberate design choice though I guess it can be confusing. You're still able to scroll using your mousewheel/touchepad
I am also not able to scroll, even using my touchpad. I dont know if it is a setting on my computer, but it works fine outside the game

Touchpad should work fine, I just tested it again. You do have to be hovering the posts for it to work, if your mouse is further on the side it won't scroll.
I will look into uploading a more accessible version with visible scrollbars if it causes issues

It worked now hovering the post!
