One of our goals for the coming week is to do a major overhaul of all our online descriptions and marketing. We started this game with a general idea of what we wanted it to be, and you can tell that most of the early descriptions and documentation reflects that early ambiguity.that overview needs and update too
thx for upload
Now that we have a more solid idea of who the MC is and where his story is going, it's past time we went around the internet and cleaned and tightened up a lot of descriptions and marketing to better reflect what this product is. We also plan to rewrite the intro to the story, the dialogue that occurs before you start talking about the different romances.
Originally we thought much of the story would be reflected from the Dr., now we think it is best told in the MC's voice to the doctor. So by tightening up the opening, we can better set the stage for the story that follows.
Well we greatly appreciate you giving us a chance! When we started this, we made a list of things we disliked about the games we loved.
The short list:
1. Not enough dialogue choices.
2. Choices only exist to make me guess the correct path to sex.
3. Taking waaaay too long to get to the action.
4. Game over screens punish me for saying "fun things".
We didn't feel like we needed to milk the promise of sex scenes to draw in readers and keep them hooked. We assumed, that like life, there are things happening around the sex. Sure the sex is a pivotal part of the story that bears with it consequences and rewards, but can't the sex be the catalyst for a wider story? So instead of our story being about a character trying to have sex with other characters, our story is about why our character has decided to leave a relatively mundane life and spiral into a world of sexual misadventure against all reason, and what are the final consequences of that going to be.
Salute mate and thanks for reading!
So yeah, a couple of things here. Previously v0.x.1 was the public version because there was no bonus Lupita content in her introduction. Now that we've come full circle, we realized, absentmindedly that we needed a v0.x.0 to be the public release.
However, for our next release it will not matter. Originally we thought by having multiple versions, we saved our patrons the headache of downloading additional files and integrating them into the game. We didn't give any consideration to the time it would take to compile, upload, and update links for six versions of the game. (What can I say, in the beginning our mind was writing the story and not at all focused on the coding). So starting in April with Emily's next release, we are going to move to a single version of the game and password protect the patron bonus content. This will save us time and energy, and remove a level of confusion about our versioning system.
Regarding the patron rewards, yes, each tier gets access to their content and the content below it. In the coming week or so we are going to overhaul a lot of the descriptions on our web page and patreon page to reflect some of the emerging details of the story. We wrote a lot of that in the early days of the project when things were still getting fleshed out. So we are due for a refresh. We also want to add some additional bonuses at each tier, so stay tuned.
Cheers!

Looks like you're setting up a few more branches. How many endings have you planned out so far? I'm imagining just one, with Fallout-style assembly, but roughly five variations on some substories.

I can sympathize. I'm a developer, and my team has to support multiple versions of our products on multiple OSes. We actively look for ways to retire our older release trains. And it's not just building/uploading - each version has to be tested. It's a ton of work.

@RomanHume , since the game is nearing version 1.0 I think it's time you step up by changing the default renpy exe icon with the DAST game icon or IANVS to push developer brand forward. On to other matters of concern, that was a happy ending.
I always change the DAST to patient001 anyway so even if it gets changed to IANVS it'll still be patient001 when I play it and I change the file names as well. Like the last one I played was patient001-0.7.1-pc.
Lupita is so sweet :heartcoveredeyes: she's a hard worker, taking care of her son and enjoying having time with him the night. She has a big heart.
I refuse to behave like a dick with her, the only thing she deserves is love !

This was better than I was expecting. I like the style of it.
So far the choices seem to not matter much. Slight dialogue changes seem to be the biggest change. I was hoping for stark contrasts.
The sex scenes were ok. Not amazing, but not bad.
I'll admit I skipped the personal trainer entirely, and I'm glad that is an option. Not my taste.
I'm mostly interested in the three teens so far.
