That will be fully implemented in the next release as well, though be advised that I'm waiting until I get a second render machine up and running before I go back through the previous scenes and implement it. So the feature will work with Cassie's newest chapter but I have to go back and update all the previous content.
...what? No back, no back, enough with back... forward, only forward...
This was one of the first games I played that really got me into the entire genre. But waiting for this game makes the WVM drought seem like a long weekend, for crying out loud. When do we get to see this V 2.x? And will it hold content equivalent to a 1.1.5 -> 2.x jump? We wait with baited breath. For me the patreon comes after the delivery.
really want to support this game but the updates take waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. cancelled my patreon and will see where things go from here but maybe less talk about how great you've automated certain things and all these streams and more focus on getting the next chapter out

You are entitled to your own opinion and not being part of the Patreon but don't be an ass when Roman was 100% open about the coding going to take some time and also Livestreaming to show that content is being made and Roman being focused on getting the next chapter out.
Needless to say it was a rough, pandemic filled summer with lots of twists and turns. But I've pretty much used up all the talking points about that and all I can say is that I'm glad Fall has arrived.
V2.x.x will launch with Cassie's completed chapter. Unfortunately, it won't contain everything 1.1.5 has because I did a reorganization of Renpy's gui directories and did an overhaul of the code and how your game's choices and playthrough are recorded. The goal was to eliminate future save breaks.
But because 1.x.x and 2.x.x are completely incompatible, I have to overhaul the code on all the existing content and I don't want to delay this chapter while I do that. So my tentative plan is to release Cassie's chapter with Cheat Mode unlocked so that you can play the latest content in any way you want.
Then I will continue to release new content on the v2.x.x platform and while I'm waiting for the images for all the new content to render I'll use my laptop to update all the old code and bring everything into v2.x.x.
My new development philosophy is, New Content has Top Priority, everything else is to be done while New Content is busy Rendering and I have down time. This way there is a non-stop stream of new stuff coming out and slowly the old stuff is being brought up to speed.
Firstly I do appreciate the contributions you have made and I'm sorry you feel that those contributions were not applied well.
I have tried to make every effort to ensure that development of this game is as transparent as possible. When it comes to making this game I have done my best to be clear, honest and straightforward about every aspect of development.
The streams are nothing but me making new content for Cassie's chapter. Every stream is 100% content development and in a stream we add anywhere from 25 to 40 new images to the game. What takes time is rendering because after we do a stream, we're averaging 25 minutes per render. So those 25 images created during the stream will now take about 10 hours to render out.
The last two months have been spent doing nothing but creating new content for the game.
Time will tell if it's all worth it.
I could be wrong, but I like to think that when it comes to developers who are open and transparent with their processes, I have to rank in the top five. I encourage people to ask questions and I always answer as honestly as I can.
I try to offer up weekly updates so people know what's happening in the process and anyone who's watching the live streams knows how much time, effort, energy go into making the art for the game (which I have to say is getting better and better).
And for what it's worth, I'm on track to have Scenes 1-6 of Cassie's newest chapter out for playtesting by the end of the week. The last 30 or so renders are in the queue and I just have to add music, sound, and journal entries.
There's also some more good news in that department, but I gotta save that for my Patreon news post tomorrow.

The streams you complain about are of him working on the game.

Well he shouldn't be doing that...he should...should...should.....be working on the game godamnit!
So new plan. No more streams. No more game.Well he shouldn't be doing that...he should...should...should.....be working on the game godamnit!
The project is officially "aboned"
Anytime I think about streaming, I'm instead just going to goth one out by sitting in a dark closet listening to The Cure, nursing my failure and thinking about how pointless life is.
No emo Peter Parker dancing action?
I don't watch your streams, but I like seeing the Patreon updates when you announce them. Means I can know that you are working on the game and one day I will get to play another awesome update for this great game.
Take care of yourself and avoid the corona.

Sorry, there's no tag for that.
Your only option is to continue with game development.

Love that show, my second favorite "Britcom" after Black Books.
I'm looking forward to more of this game and can patiently sit on my hands while I wait.
Originally I was just posting the stream notifications and then deleting them when the stream was over. Then a few weeks ago I thought screw that! I'm going to leave them up, and update them with the time the stream ended so that anyone wishing to doubt the time I spend making art on the game can go back and calculate how many hours I've spent working on the project.No emo Peter Parker dancing action?

And since people watch the stream and witness it all, there isn't really any way I can lie about the time spent streaming.
Just one more example of how open I'm trying to be about development.
How do I request an "Aboned" tag be added to F95?
I feel like not having one makes the site feel a bit dated.
No clue what this is from, but I dig his makeup and suit. I'm totally stealing that!
I'm holding off on my next news post until after this next set of images completes. I want to get a total of the work completed thus far.
I just ran a word count and the first half of Cassie's next chapter, scenes 1 thru 6 total around 7,000 words.
What sucks is that I know for a fact that this is one of the biggest updates I've done yet, but you bastards will probably play through it in ten minutes. Cause that's just how it usually goes...

But if it's good enough the post nut clarity will keep people from complaining.
I'm also hoping the four sex scenes will help.
