version 0.9.1? and its just past the intro? That's not how your supposed to update version numbers lol.
Yes it is.
As career developers (this just happens to be our first "game"), we prefer to use the semantic versioning, , created by Tom Preston-Werner, one of the founders of GitHub.

On the days in which our real jobs beckon, we develop corporate software solutions, for which, semantic versioning makes the most sense. To us, it made sense to use it here as well.

just tried this out
I see a lot of promise here

I am curious will there be an eventual path that the therapist is affected by his story and becomes part of it?
People that go into that kind of career tend not to get involved that way.

Be a bit of a shit therapist if that happened.

It's the 9th version released. How should they number it?
Well from what I've seen when I game reaches version 1.0.0 the game is nearly complete and is undergong bugfixes or dlc or after game content. according to the link shared above this is not so.

Version 1.0.0 defines the public API. The way in which the version number is incremented after this release is dependent on this public API and how it changes.

So I guess I'll give this game a shot even though that change-log puts me off.

0.9 and still barely any content. Thanks for contributing to making version numbers completely meaningless...
You are absolutely welcome. And thank you for coming back and complaining about the same thing you griped about in January. Turns out, after your previous complaint, we decided to continue using semantic versioning because to us it makes perfect sense.

Making her scream "Ay papi!!!"is taking good care imo :)
I dunno if we are there yet. Didn't play since first release. Liked the start/story/renders. Just keeping my eyes on change logs and thread till i think i can spend some good few hours on it with everything being fresh
We don't have access to the OP, but we are going to get better about feeding change information to the mods and uploaders that kindly update this thread. So hopefully that will help you decide when you're ready to jump back in.

Salute friend!

Harem and incest are the ones that come to my mind now.
Whoa whoa whoa?! Incest. Who said anything about incest? There is no incest. In fact, with the exception of

We are planning to include her as a bonus romance at the end of the game if certain conditions are met. The details are still sketchy at this point because everything is still evolving, but we feel it would be a tease to have her in the story from the start and not be a sexual option.

Show me ten professional developers and they will give you ten opinions on how versioning should be done. We use semantic versioning in our professional lives and have chosen to use it here as well. If you want the details, they can be reviewed

This is where we are going to take some creative liberties and allow this therapist to cross the border a little bit and dabble in sexual surrogacy. Completely professional. We promise. :eek:penedeyewink:

One of the reasons we are sticking with semantic versioning is so that players will know which releases are compatible. All v0.x.x releases will be compatible, so players can download the latest copy, merge it with their existing saves, and continue playing.

However, when we hit beta, there are a number of major code fixes and structural changes we want to make that will not be compatible with the alpha. So our beta will begin with v1.0.0 and increment from there.

It may not jive with the way other game developers manage their versions, but we feel it's logical, works well. And from a player standpoint, you can still determine if you're playing the latest version simply by comparison.

Thank you for giving our game our shot though, we look forward to hearing what you think about it.

Salute!

As long as it's all above board and professional who am I to argue with therapeutic sex.

@RomanHume will you not be posting your usual weekly mondayupdate today? Might still be early where you're at but it has become sort of a guilty pleasure by now, looking forward to it. Even though I know that we're (probably) weeks away from contentupdates..

Also, enjoyed the last version as always :) Lupita is my clear favourite with Jane closely behind so any update with either of them is a bit special.
Must say that the MC was much nicer, more wellmannered etc towards Lupita then I would have wanted, even on my "tough guy route", after the first encounter I pictured a much rougher/dominating/abusing approach.. a bit sad but I'll live :)
Cheers

Our apologies for that. Fecal and I have been travelling for work and the last couple of days have been spent on airplanes and in hotels. What downtime we've had we spent drilling on story/coding and rewriting the intro. I completely lost track of what day it was and the fact that I missed posting our Sunday update. Again, sincerest apologies for that.

I did just post the update and lay out some of what we've worked on and what's coming down the pipeline.

Thanks for the reminder!

Good afternoon everyone,
So we're running a couple of days late but not a dollar short. Work on Emily's next chapter continues to progress. We've written and coded one of the two variants. We've started on some of the preliminary staging for her visuals while we continue to write and code the second variant. It's still to early for an eta. This next scene will include three locations and at least four other characters, so there is a lot of screen work going on here. Factor in the rendering bottle neck we encounter each release, and there are just too many variables at the moment to predict the next distribution.

As an aside, we want to improve the bonus content you receive with each release. We originally tried keeping things simple with alternative wardrobes and easter eggs. This decision was good for production time because it added something spicy without delaying the release. But we feel going forward you deserve more. So starting with Emily we will be stepping up the bonus content. We are going to work on updating the reward descriptions to better explain those changes.

Also, we've completely rewritten the introductory scenes of the game to better reflect the direction of the story. This new intro scene will be included in the next release. Originally when we wrote the game's intro, we only had a vague idea of who the MC was, but now that we've written almost 14 scenes, we have a good feel for Roger and how his story should begin. For those who don't want to start over to experience the new scene, rest assured that there are no dialogue choices or variables that will impact the story you've played, so you can completely skip it at your choice. Our biggest reason for rewriting this scene now prior to the beta was to help new players acclimate faster to the ongoing narrative.

Also keep your eyes open for another Dev-log coming soon. Dog has some downtime coming up before the next round of staging and is going to share some more insights into Daz modelling, so look for that in the next couple of days.

Till then, thank you for your continued support. Salute!
