So if there is something strange in the neighborhood we should call Amanda's father?
Anyway bring on Amanda's scenes and Cassie, specially Cassie...
Anyway bring on Amanda's scenes and Cassie, specially Cassie...
I want to say that I was a player long before I was a developer, so I completely empathize with the frustration that you're feeling. It's one of the unfortunate parts about being on this side of the process, weighing whether or not the long term benefits of a change outweigh the aggravation it may cause players during implementation. I used to weigh those decisions quite heavily but at the moment, I've decided the best thing I can do is go full force with the changes I want to make so that in the long term, there is little no additional game breaking inclusions I can make.
And if it makes you feel better, I am close to the point of accepting that the level of tech I'm adding is nearing it's apex. The only two things I really want to do, is restructure the character class to rely on inheritance so that side characters that don't require all the additional stats won't have them, as well as create a "character sheet" of sorts that when turned on allow players to manipulate all of a character's stats. A cheat mode sort of thing. My goal is to have those incorporate in the next couple of releases and then after that, I think I'm done in terms of enhancements.
So to your point, I'm hoping the end is near on that front. I'm glad that you enjoy the game and appreciate that you care about it enough to let me know what you think. And I have to believe that in 12 months time I will have streamlined everything I possibly can and will have nothing short of a very stable foundation going forward.
Again, I appreciate you sounding off your frustration and I hope that in the long run, this period of growing pains will fade into distant memory.
Side Bar:
And for anyone who cares to know or understand why all this change is happening. I come from a background in analytics and data science. I program extensively in R and in Python for that purpose. So while coding this game is definitely within my comfort zone, I find myself having to think about data structures in a whole new way that I'm only now getting a grip on.
Because I know what the long term prospects of my project are, I'm trying to lay a lot of groundwork now so that things will fall into place perfectly later. One such example is the customer character class I use in my game. I've always known that I wanted to make more than one game. And I've known that when the time comes to make another, I'll want to export your decisions and the attitudes of these characters as you left them so that they appear as side characters in another game in exactly the same way. The easiest way to handle that import/export of characters is through a self contained object that has the entire history of that character.
But the challenge of creating that character class is not completely knowing which stats I'll want to track and which character "types" require which stats. So it's a bit of an evolution to create this character class in a way that it captures everything I want, but is simple and efficient enough that I can slap it into the code without bugs or exceptions haunting the methods and attributes. For what it's worth, I feel like I'm almost there and have gone so far as to include a few generic lists in there just in cast I think of something else.
So for what it's worth, each time I change the code and destroy compatibility, it's with a long term vision in mind and the objective of never having to change/break it again. A ton of shit was added in this last update, mechanically speaking. I have more I want to add in the next, and maybe one or two in the update after that. Beyond that horizon, it should be right where I want/need it to be to move forward and just add chapters and scenes going forward.
This my friends is the goal! If people are willing to just hang in there with me a little more, I think the end result will look good from the front as well as the back.
Salute friends!
Oh, and to answer a question you posed...
I changed the label from Lust to Infatuation only because I thought it was a better descriptor. Knowing Cassie's motivations and the long term prospects for the story, I just thought infatuation was the more applicable term. But story wise nothing has changed as a result of this shift in labels.
And for what little it's worth, that type of thing isn't save breaking. The character object just stores an attribute called "red_value" and "blue_value". And then a separate values holds the label for those numbers. I just don't want anyone reading this to think that I broke saves over something trivial like that. The way the data is structured the game would just roll right along and adapt to that kind of adjustment.
I"m just scanning back over posts I may or may not have replied to. But for what it's worth, this bug was fixed in the patch. If it's still a problem for some reason, by all means let me know. Thanks mate!
That is a battle I'm continuing to wage. Finally got it to compile thanks to some help from folks here. Now I have to figure out why it crashes when installed on an Android device. I'll update as things get figured out. Cheers mate.
That was the end of the content. In the bug patched version you should get a notification you've reached the end now.
Tell me about it. The dev for this game is a real lazy fucker!
Far as I know this was fixed in the patch. So it should be all good. Thanks for the follow up and helping me track it down. Salute mate.
Just letting you know it's out in the event you might have missed it. Cheers.
My Achilles Heel. My brain moves faster than my fingers can keep up. And then I read a line two or three times to make sure it sounds right and by the third time I've stopped reading the actual words or paying attention to the spelling. It's a flaw I've learned to live with but will always apologize for.
I'm working on Amanda's update, and Cassie's close behind, and by the end of both you'll have the opportunity for some full blown, old timey, intercourse. Stay tuned. Sexiness to come!
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it and I hope that as I continue to write and develop the tale it continues to please and eroticize!
It's both fascinating and helpful to hear which parts of the story people enjoy the most. Like a compass that lets me know I'm heading in the right direction. Appreciate you playing and doubly appreciate you taking the time to let me know what you think. Salute mate!
That is fucking bizarre, but so you know, I did see your post before I released the bug patch and added a couple more stops on the sfx channels. Hopefully that should have fixed it. If you continue having the treadmill problem please let me know and I'll commit some more time to figuring it out.
For every misspelled word you find, there are probably four others you didn't.
I'm sloppy like that.
I always swore that if I wrote a best selling novel, I'd pay my editor hella good!
In the end it should all lead to more stable, cleaner code. That is the goal anyway. I put a lot of thought it these changes in the hopes that in another update or two all I'll have to add going forward is content, content, content. Fingers crossed.
There were a few places it was still hard coded. I got as many of them as I could in the patch, but if anyone finds others please let me know and I'll fix it.
I'm doing my best to alleviate that pain with the ability to skip chapters and eventually manually change the characters. It's the best I can offer until the dust settles and construction is complete.
I believe this was fixed in the patch. If for some reason it wasn't please let me know and I'll hop on it. Cheers.
Again, I just want to say thank you for the work you put in on this. Your giving players something they want that I cannot "technically" provide. If there is some clever way I can show my gratitude I happily will. Name in the credits, or something like that. Maybe Amanda nicknames her gaming computer "Gigan".ah ok
Let me know if there is something I can do to demonstrate my appreciate for your work. Cheers mate!
Ah, I see it. Squashed it. It'll have to wait till the next update, but I got it. Thanks!
Tell me about it. The asshole that writes this game acts like he's about to miss his train or something.
Most of the bugs you noted have been fixed (except the animation issue of course). As for the misspelled words and typos, I've collected up your list and will find some time this weekend to scrub through and make the changes. I really do appreciate you taking the time to compile this for me. Thanks mate!
That is correct. With the bug fix applied you should get an end of content screen when you've hit all the available scenes.
This is going to take a little more time to fix (but I believe it is fixable). Unfortunately it's going to have to wait and get it's own patch sometime next week. But know that I am working on it. Salute.
First off, thank you. I had a lot of fun writing that scene! And while Dan won't be a major player going forward, he does still have a few more parts to play. I liked the idea of giving players the opportunity to get along with him and make him an ally, or to alienate him and make him a future obstacle. Both of those stories have so much potential.
And second, I have to ask you not to write any more reviews of my projects. I already have a pretty big fucking ego. But after reading your review I think my head fucking inflated three more sizes. My neck has hurt ever since I read it because of the enormity of my head now.
Seriously though, thank you for the high praise! Reading shit like that is a major confidence booster and a hell of a motivator.
But this goes out to everyone who takes the time to write a review, you don't know how motivating it really is. I won't lie, there have been nights when I come home dead tired and after sitting at a computer all day just want to lie down and read a book. But on those nights, I just skim through some of the reviews people have left and then suddenly it's like a second wind and I get jazzed up about writing more story immediately!
One good review is all I need to ignore pages and pages of slander and ball busting! So yes, many of you are pirates. Some of you are patrons. But anyone who leaves a review is contributing in a very real way and I thank you for that!
(Don't confuse anything I say here with "burn out". Some days just seem longer than others when it comes to the real job blues.)

You are very welcome! I am sure it will continue to please and eroticize. This game is definitely in the top ten most anticipated games for updates for me.
Well i will continue giving the same insight on the next updates because i like to help. I look forward to the moment of adding this game to my fan signatures when Cassie gets her story fulfilled. Salute right backatcha!
Let me know if you are still having problems and I will try to help you resolve them.
It's a battle I'm fighting and only kind of winning. I did get it to finally compile successfully thanks to some very knowledgeable people here on F95. But after I installed it on my phone it just crashes. So I've still got some work to do. I haven't given up, just have to keep digging at it.
I....uh...wait...what? I think somewhere in here we mixed Amanda up with Amana. (Dumb shit author should have thought twice about having two characters with names so similar.)
Sorry, I'm still laughing at the Norman Bates things. That aside, I'm glad you enjoy the game and if you ever stop enjoying it, make sure you let me know. My players are the only lode stone I have regarding what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong. You folks keep me honest. Cheers mate!
From what I understand, I understand goddamned nothing about Android programming. Lol. Fortunately there seems to be a lot of knowledge on the forum, so hopefully tapping into that will help get it sorted.
Ok comment all you like friend. If you write, I'll read it. I'll even respond.
And as a bonus, if you comment that I need to work faster or harder, I'll reward you with smart ass memes.
Sounds like you hit the end. It was my mistake to not add an end of content notification. I went back and included one in the bug patch so now you'll get a page at the end letting you know you're hit all the currently available content.
Thank you! It was always a goal to get in the featured games section. Just didn't think it would be so soon. Between that and the good reviews people have been leaving me this week, I wish I had Amanda's chapter ready to go so that I could release it tomorrow and keep this hard on I've got from all praise you folks have been giving me.
And yes, it's definitely Cassie something. Regardless of what any patches around here might have you believing.
Wow, that's hella praise. Given the sheer volume of games on this site, being in someone's top ten is a big deal for me.
But wait...you're saying that once you get to bang Cassie you'll put my game in your sig....?
Thank you. It was a big surprise because it didn't show up near the front. So I'm like, "Ah, cool. New games. Let's see if there's anything goo.....HOLY FUCK! THAT'S MY GAME!"Congrats RomanHume on making it to the banner!
I mean, we're making porn games in a very niche market. And there are a lot of people who have played the game and enjoy it. And most of them know how much work went into and how much double time I've busted to keep it going these last few months. So to be recognized is a good feeling.
Wouldn't have happened without all you players though.
I'm hoping this time next week I'll have some good test renders of Amanda's next scene ready to go and we can start to see it take shape.
Cheers mate!

Sorry it sounded like I was an ass when I said that.
I really like the story and characters.
I know I didn't get all the text though, I think that was mainly a "red" play through, and I don't know how much of blue/red will cause different outcomes and text, so that is why I recommended it. Once choices getting different content gets involved especially for things that may be farther down the line, then it is really hard to spellcheck from a players side. I am broke so I can't patreon, I figure helping fix bugs/spelling so a cleaner game and thus more people might play/patreon it is the least I can do.
Hope any of it helps.

For now I'm playing without any patch/mod, going on the assumption that the dots will be connected in the story Roger/MC is telling Amana later on.
The line in the counter top is supposed to be a break in the pieces, it is actually very realistic, marble is like that.

I think this game is interesting and good ,, but I will wait patiently for the release of the Android version ,,
No problem if you don´t answer me i know that you will read that.I didn´t had the last days time after ther bug fix was released to test this but now i have 3 days free and i will test this.
you make me embarrassed.I think the most people understand that you can´t do anything about the incest.I like your game but i can´t to be a patreon to support you because i'm not earning enough money to do this right now.The only way what i can do is that i can help you with the patch
.You don´t need to show me your gratitude.It will be funny to see my name in your game but you don´t need to do something

Yep. If none of those are highlighted, it's supposed to be the end of the current version. You should have done the following, if you finished it all:
- Met and talked with Dr. Amana;
- Had a confrontation at your office and spent time with Nanami;
- Gone home to your wife and spoken with her;
- Gotten drunk that night, seen the girls through the window, and spent time with each of them the next day at the pool;
- Spent time at the gym;
- Met your new maid and spent time with her;
- Had a home office encounter with Jane;
- Had a discussion with Cassie (later, after the pool scene is over);
- Had a discussion with Amanda;
- Met with Nanami and a private investigator;
- Gone to a night club with Nanami and then met (and maybe slept with) a stripper;
- Confronted the guy from work and had a discussion with the club owner;
- Had an interaction with Nanami in the parking lot of the club
im stuck with lita sucking my balls with the menu in the top left with 1,2,3,4 options. i've tried hitting the numbers on keyboard/numpad, tried clicking on them, clicking all over the place, and still nothing happens. I cant scroll back far enough to choose not to do something, how do i progress the scene?
