How do you skip to new content? Baffled. Says it in the disclaimer yet option is nowhere.
Holy fuck it's impossible to find how to skip to new content, what god awful design. Can't even find the cheat menu once you eventually find how to turn it on. Actually garbage.
Wow, so rather than just engage me in a discussion and let me explain how it works, you're gonna rage quit and one star me?

I guess the upside to you hating it so much is that I won't have to see you around here anymore throwing tantrums...

The button on the options menu doesn't even work most of the time, and the amount of content you put out is pretty pathetic. Whatever.

Wow man you are pretty rude and entitled. The dev don't owe you shit.
As someone that enjoy this game immensely, please move over to another game that you enjoy and leave this game alone, since you clearly do not like it.

I mean he's entitled to his opinion. And his review is technically about the game and one of it's features, so it doesn't really violate anything. So I doubt the mods would remove it. And that's ok, I can handle one star reviews like a big boy.

I just think when you have a forum like this where the developer is a very active participant, that it's kind of a bitch way to handle things. What he did was a childish, knee-jerk reaction. He didn't get the flavor of ice cream he wanted so he threw it on the ground and now has to do without.

I mean, if you read back over the last few pages, there have been people with actual game breaking bugs. What I'd call, legitimate problems that make trying to play the game painful. I have very patiently responded to every one and tried to help solve their problems. Would have done the same for him. But I'm also smart enough to know that you can't help a troll.

Which is why I won't engage him in any actual discussion at this point. :sneaky:
(But I'll definitely sling gifs all day long for my own amusement!)

That is a hell of a compliment. Thank you!



I can appreciate that other developers have engineered work-arounds and buried unlockables in their code. But at the end of the day, I don't want to give Patreon a single silver bullet. They can open up my code and read it start to finish and find nothing in there that breaks their T&C's.

While I don't do this for the money, I do want to make enough to be a full time developer. And right now Patreon is the lifeline to that possibility. And at the moment, they are the reason I'm able to afford to hire artists. I won't give them a single line of code that could be used to demonstrate my violating their rules.

The pet name system is really the most I'm going to do officially to alleviate the problem. The pet name system is globally enabled across all characters, lovers and non-lovers alike, and serves as a fun way to tweak the dialogue. Since it's applied universally to every character in the game, they can't really say that I included it for the purpose of intentional misuse by players.

At the end of the day, it is what it is. One day the game will be done and I'll be on to something else and then, who knows, maybe I'll make some changes. But until then, I'm not rolling those dice.

Just because ten other people got away with something, doesn't mean I'm guaranteed to get away with it as well. Best to think about the business as a whole and just err on the side of caution. That's my official stance.



I just want you to know I haven't given up on trying to figure this out. I've called in some other people to run over the code and see if they can figure out how to replicate and eliminate this bug. If you come up with a solution before I do, please let me know. Salute mate!
Thanks for your kind words, this thing bugs me becouse i really love your game. Keep up the good work. Maybe i try to change the op-system, just that i have to much data on my HDD :)

Damn, I was about to scratch my head on that one. But in all the time I've been looking at Exception reports, I never noticed the OS information there, nor considered it might be a problem. Looks like I just learned something I didn't know...
Because it is never a problem... except the situation when you repack archive for PC on Windows, so it won't have proper permission on Linux. But then you won't be able to run the game at all, at least without making several files executable (easy to fix).

Still, I'm not sure now. According to Renpy's home page, it should be compatible with Windows XP+.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
Nah, it doesn't matter. It should be still supported. It should run on Windows Vista and XP as well, maybe even on Windows 2000.

With all the different women and new ones that can be introduce into this game Dev actually dropped an all out Pedo Content update :cautious: (n):cry::unsure::mad: why the story gets side bar for pedo. I try my best to avoid the Shenanigans as you stated unless you force my hand to continue the story. This is not how this game started a year ago MC wasn't a molester and never had any thoughts to molest the moment we the player take control he starts molesting seriously, Dev you know the introduction got a bunch of us hooked aren't I supposed to be a busy ass business man seems now I have all the time in the world and I'm supposed to be seeking revenge on my boss for his manipulation. Don't start with this their 18 crap all 3 of those short tittyless babyface girls no way in hell are 18 they look no older than 13.

So, you've never played a Ren'Py engine game before?

1. You either rely on saves to load and continue from where you left off

2. or hold the Ctrl key to fast forward until reaching content you desire (clicking options along the way, as needed)

3. or - in a UNIQUE, HIGHLY ADVERTISED capability of this game - open the virtual Planner from the upper right hand corner and it has an option to enable Cheat Mode, which will then activate a new Jump tab in the planner for instantly opening scenes involving major characters of your choice.

The Planner is even explained within the in-game Tutorial, you raging asshat.

Actually the story did not get side barred. The story is (as presented in the OP and on Patreon):

"you assume the role of Roger Harrington, a middle-aged corporate executive whose career has just suffered a major set-back. With his career in jeopardy and life as he knows it on the ropes, he begins seeking as much diversion and distraction as one man can possibly handle. The game features seven main love interests"

I want to be clear that the business story (which the last 2 releases were dedicated to) is not the "main" story. I can appreciate that you favor one or more story lines over others, but I billed this game with seven characters that were all introduced in the beginning of the game "over a year ago" and I owe it to ALL my players to see that each gets some screen time.

I won't argue over the wide variance in human body, size, type and development that exists in the world. All the girls in the game are of near equal height or taller than the MC and of different body shapes. Again, I appreciate that you have developed for your own reference a standard size and shape for different ages, but that standard is not necessarily shared by the player community or even nature itself.

I am sorry to hear that you were not happy with the update, but it was stated back in October which character I would be working on and releasing next. There have been multiple conversations, live streams, teaser art, and weekly news posts regarding the development of Amanda's storyline. So I don't feel like I have to apologize for a "bait and switch" that I did not commit.

Ultimately, this game is about seven characters (maybe more if time and production schedules allow). But of those seven, you clearly are displeased with three of them. My recommendation for the future would be to check the change log, see what character was developed for a release, and if it's not one you enjoy, skip that release and wait for a later one.

I'm not asking everyone to enjoy every character, and perhaps in the next release I'll go back and re-code some of Amanda's first chapter so that you can cut her out of your story altogether going forward. But I will continue to develop all seven characters and the main story of Roger's whirlwind love life that began with his shattered career.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Cheers mate and thanks for your feedback.

Pretty decent update...I'm on a mostly red path ofc. I wonder if there'll be harem options towards the end of the game. :devilish:
Thanks mate!

It depends on people's definition of harem. If harem means, everyone come share Roger's bed together and each night I come home from work I shall choose one or more of you to please me...then no.

But if harem ending means you aren't forced to terminate any relationships and you are permitted to continue one or more of them indefinitely, some openly and some clandestinely, then yes.

probably best not to bother with laflare, reality very seldom factors into the unhinged rants they post.
I'm not really one to get into a strong back and forth about opinion based arguments. But I feel every player that takes the time to post an opinion here at least deserves acknowledgement from me. If only as a show of respect.

I understand his complaint, he made his point. I've made mine. On good days this often leads to a new understanding between player and dev. On bad days it doesn't.

And if it doesn't, that's fine too. We can both go our separate ways.

But I also know how passionate people get about these games (I'm one of them). So I don't degrade or belittle someone for having a strong preference for this thing or that. But I want to make sure that I'm clear about what it is I'm developing and what the implicit promise of my story was. Even if the person I'm responding to doesn't benefit, others might.

I treat everyone with respect until they persist in giving me a reason not to. And even then, I don't engage in arguments. I launch gifs!

It's how I roll. :cool:
