I don't know if it's commitment or just plain old stubbornness. Whatever it is, it'll see this game through eventually.
I take everything with a grain of salt. No worries. But I'm glad you enjoyed the game and I hope you continue to do so as new material comes out. I always appreciate honest feedback and knowing what is working in the story and what isn't.Free is free if you don't like it fuck off. No one is forcing you to play it. I liked it. Edit* Sorry didn't realize it's your game and you was being sarcastic.
Yeah, he's a real dick. His communication sucks too!
Sorry, were you talking about me?
Or the dev is spending way to much time around here on this thread instead of developing his game...
Fortunately no one had to die for me to show up here. But I do kill time between test renders to catch up on the thread, emails and discord.You shitting me? You know how many people have to DIE first before we get that kind of community interaction from EA or something?!
Besides, and this is an assumption I grant you, rendering takes awhile... can do both.
Well the fact is development is this slow, and I never asked you for any money. So now that we got that cleared up. I also don't think I'm misunderstood or a genius. I just like to write porn in the scant hours between raising a family and working a full time job. If people want to support me in that, it's awesome and I do everything I can to show my gratitude as often as possible. But I don't beg and I don't hold my game hostage. I have an open console, unlocked code, and even go out of my way to help players with any and all questions. I respond to every email, post and inquiry sent my way and I never turn down honest feedback, from patrons and non patrons alike. If that makes me a prima donna, then so be it.
I agree! I am obligated to listen, I'm just not obligated to give a serious response.
I take all player feedback into account and listen respectfully. When a person's feedback is just "work faster, longer, harder", well then get sarcastic. But if you have honest feedback that I can use to make the game better, then by all means, send it my way. A lot of great ideas have come from players and it makes the game better.i'm retired , i wish i had some extra cash to help out these dev.'s with making their games .. all i can do is play them and give my opinions about them .. like thats worth a crap ...
Chances are, if you're thinking it, someone else is too and it's worth passing along. Let me know what's working in the story, let me know what isn't. I might not always agree, but just as often I might and the game will be improved.
Even so, thank you for playing!

RomanHume While you're here, a question came to mind and I don't know how to search for that properly so I'll just ask:
Any news on the "yeah, I upscaled to 1920x1080 and the animations would have to be redone - I need to check if I have the source material" front?
Don't wanna stress, I'm just curious...
Besides that, are you doing well?

Wow! Thank you, that's hella praise. I appreciate you playing the game and taking the time to share your thoughts.j
I have a pretty simple process, know the charaters, the rest comes on its own. I just sort of write and whatever runs through my mind flows into the code. Hopefully I'll continue to entertain and amuse for a long time to come because I really enjoy this and I enjoy hearing from players as well. Thanks again!
I'll be interested to see if you're still singing my praises after I'm done working on Amanda and Cassie.
There was an official guide for awhile but keeping up with that and everything else just became too much when I became a one man team. All of my script and code is accessible, I'm just waiting to see if some enterprising soul chooses to take up that task and use it to make a guide.
But as others have said, for the most part you'll see 99% of the content just playing through each of the paths, red, blue and black. I wish I had more time to facilitate a guide because people do frequently ask for one. I just sadly don't have the time at the moment.
This is pretty much true.
Sounds like you've hit the end of the content. In future releases I have an end of content flag that will pop up and notify you when you hit the end. I just didn't think to do that this time around. I apologize for the confusion.
I do care quite a lot. I enjoy making the game but I want others to enjoy it as well. And I don't discriminate between patrons and non-patrons. Good ideas come from everywhere. And you're right, I may not act on every suggestions, but I do take it all under advisement and if a suggestion isn't right for the game or the time, I'll take a moment to explain why.
There are even some ideas that have come out that I didn't think were right for this game, but I've made notes for where I think they'd fit into other games I've conceived of in the future. So there's always hope for clever suggestions.
I always take constructive criticism. When people simply suggest I just work harder and faster, well, I just let that go. I'm doing the best I can with the time I have. It is what it is.Specially opinions that sound more like demands. Those usually end up getting some deserved burn...hehehe
Constructive criticism is worth.
I'm hoping that with this next update I'll have fixed all of those. I made a couple passes with the last release and a few still slipped under the radar. Next time you play, if you're inclined, feel free to just make a note where this occurs and send it to me and I'll get it fixed for the next go around.
Changing the MC's name was a very late edition so some of the old code slipped. Sorry about that.

Oh don't worry. You'll be definitely getting my brutally honest and unfiltered feedback after all that is done.I'll be interested to see if you're still singing my praises after I'm done working on Amanda and Cassie.
I like to keep my images and script files together for organizational purposes.
If you go to game -> images -> chapters -> [character] -> [chapter] -> [scene]
I don't like using Renpy's file navigation system so I did this to help me organize all my assets.
So for instance, Cassie's Chapter 1 file is in:
game/images/chapters/cassie/chapter01/scene01/ch0101.rpy
Hope that helps.
And we're happy to have you here!Came for the game, stayed for the comments.
The face thing was by request, some people like it. But I admit that for all the game's strengths, the sex scenes are my greatest weakness. I've improved it some with the sex menu system, but even that needs some more meat to it.
Any suggestions people have for making the sex scenes better, I'm all ears. Or if you have some examples of games that you think have really great sex scenes, let me know, I'll check them out. I need the players help to figure out how to make these the best they can be.
Hey, sometimes this old dog just has to pet himself. It feels gooooooooood.
No worries. Unfortunately, these files seem to be lost. Fecal can't find them on his computer and they weren't on the portable hard drive that he gave me with all the assets. I've decided not to worry too much about it because I want to go back and re-do those sex scenes to make use of the menu system in due time. So most of those are going to get re-rendered with some additional positions and such. I'll keep what's there, but add some new things to it.RomanHume While you're here, a question came to mind and I don't know how to search for that properly so I'll just ask:

I'll probably just bundle those up into a zip and send them out. No reason to dump perfectly mediocre animations. But they'll likely get replaced in the game.
Oh, sorry, I didn't address this part. I'm very well. The real job sucked me away to Texas right before the holidays so I had to go deal with that and got back just in time to see the family for a couple of days.Besides that, are you doing well?
During that time I only had reliable internet access through the company network and didn't want to engage in any of my porn peddling activities under big brother's watchful eyes. So while I didn't get any rendering done during that time, I did get to do a lot of writing and coding. So it wasn't time lost.
But I'm back now and working solid on the art part of this thang. Thanks for asking!
Thought I would address this post separately since it was in depth and touched on a lot of points.
I don't have an honest rebuttal for anything you've said here. There's certainly nothing false or dishonest about your perspective. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and I apologize that things have become something of a let down over the last twelve months.
I'm not going to post here and blow a bunch of smoke up your ass and tell you about how things are going to get better and faster. But for what it's worth, I do feel like I'm finding my stride. I'm now comfortable with Renpy and Daz. The interface is exactly what I want it to be. The only thing I have left I want to add is "character sheet" where players who want to "cheat" can just go and change the lover's stats, names, etc. But this I'll do in another couple of updates, no rush.
The Blender change is still a long way off and I don't look for that any time before 2021, maybe not even until the next game. I'm not rushing that. Right now my focus is on content. People have been patient with me for so long while I get my sea legs with developing this thing all on my own. Now I want to reward that patience by making the next several months all about producing content.
I'm an "actions speak louder than words" kinda person, so I'll shut up now and get back to work. But I appreciate you not giving up on me entirely and coming back to check progress periodically. Hopefully, in the next six months I'll be able to blow this thing up and restore some of that lost faith.
If you choose to pledge again one day, that's great. And if not, I still want your feedback periodically if you're willing to give it. Either will go towards making a better game.
Cheers mate! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

Not sure if I'm understanding the instructions for installation and patching right or not. I'm on a Mac. I checked out the bugfix post and it mentioned copying and replacing the "game" folder with the bugfix "game" folder first. After that, I then copy and pasted the new incest patch folder and the zz_patch.rpy file into the game folder. But now the game doesn't open and mentions it can't find the label "start". Am I patching the game wrong? I'm just going based off the instructions provided in the incest patch/post.
Fort Worth area. Sadly I don't get to see much while I'm there except for the offices, the warehouses and the hotel. One day I might get to see Texas proper, but it'll probably be on my own dime.
I'll try to help as best I can, though I'm not on a mac.
First off, I want to ask if the bug fix patch works without the incest patch? If you just install the bug fix patch, does the game fire up, or do you still get an error?
There's not much in the FW area anyway. Some historical sites and a Stadium. The rest really is warehouses.
You'd want to go to other cities like Houston/Corpus Christi/Austin/San Antonio if you want to see stuff. If you want a more scenic view then East Texas/El Paso have that bum fuck nowhere vibe going on and yet are atleast somewhat modern.

I have spent a fair amount of time in Dallas/Fort Worth and I will second visiting San Antonio if you get a chance, I was there on one business trip and things like the River Walk and of course the Spurs are things to see. If you want a tourist type of experience then a visit to The Alamo might also be in order.
Hey, I had a random thought, I was playing around with Dream Home and thought the basement would be a perfect location for a Sex Dungeon. With the only access through the garage you could keep a sex slave there without anyone in the rest of the home knowing about it.

i'm from springtown ,, just about 45 miles nw of fort worth ... what a small world
I tried replacing the original game folder with just the patched version game folder but that seems to give me the same error. Thanks for reaching out though!
I'm gonna throw this question out to everyone here then, does anyone have any experience or knowledge of patching the Mac version of the game? I've only ever been able to test things on PC so I really can't say for sure whether or not just merging the folders works on Mac.
Anyone got any experience in this area? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Salute!
I can't speak for Mac but the if you followed the instructions i do know it works fine for PC with no error.
I can only assume this means you've made a mistake somehow. Try a fresh install of this version, see if the game launches.
If it does then add only the bug fix. Copy the folder and Overwrite the existing /game/. Don't delete it, just copy/paste to the same location. Launch the game again, see if it works. If it works great, then you can repeat this step but copy over the incest patch and images file if you want it, if you don't then don't.
As previously reported, I was called out of town prior to the holidays. When this happens, production of renders stops cold, but the writing continues. Truth is, the writing is the easiest part of this whole process for me. It's easy to work in time to write here and there throughout the day, but sitting down and doing the renders is where the bottleneck occurs.
Every artist has their own style. I've developed mine over the last few months which I have to say contrasts some with what my predecessor Fecal was doing. If someone else were doing the render for this game, it would be noticeably different than my own. At the moment, I'm sitting on a lot of written material that just needs art to go with it.
I keep debating on whether or not to take on assistance with the renders to speed up the process of getting this material out. But doing that means bringing in an artist with their own style and subtleties. I'm just curious if players in generally are accepting of a slight shift in style if it means faster development. Just want to know your thoughts.
Salute.
