General Notes
It will take me half a day to do the changelog so I'll be working on that this week and fixing any reported bugs.
As always, it could use more testing but the basics seem to work. Feel free to report bugs, however gangs still haven't been fixed yet so keep that in mind.
The official game release will still occur on August 17th of this month as planned. I'm posting this beta version to work out any bugs before the official release. The OP won't be fully updated until the 17th. That is when all the serial harassers will show up and tell me that I killed their dog and cat and ruined their life because I removed the female, trans, gay, and lesbian playthroughs (which happened long before my involvement with the game). Then, the size queens will show up and complain that the game is larger than many professional indie games and that I destroyed their hard drive and Internet because of it.
Family Trouble Story Notes
Some events happen rather quickly. Due to the college student playthrough I can't advance the time much without breaking it. If you think that some events need more time to occur before happening or happen too quickly then you now know why. I will sometimes just pretend or tell you that time has gone by when it physically hasn't so I don't break different playthroughs.
Some audio and video sources had loud audio and some had very faint audio. I attempted to normalize it the best I could, however when the source is very faint I can only increase the volume to a certain point. I apologize if you have to adjust your speaker or headphone volume up and down several times during the story. I'm at the mercy of the asset sources.
All text is important to the story and advances the story. Don't rush through it or you will miss a lot! I keep the story moving at a good pace. Take your time and enjoy it.
I added some music to several places in the story. If you don't like my music choices you can turn the music off but I recommend that you wait until the story is over before doing so (music continues to play at a few spots in the game after the story is finished). You'll notice that the original artist isn't singing the songs in nearly every case. This is on purpose due to licensing issues.
disable_music=0 (default - music is enabled)
disable_music=1 (disable music using this console command if you wish)
You can disable and enable the music as much as you'd like (it won't hurt anything).
I hate to bring this up but I know a player will eventually so I'll beat them to the punch. Your sister Anna's behavior in the game can be erratic at times. There are reasons for this which will come to light the more you play. Even still I will tell you as the author that Anna does NOT have a mental disorder of any kind! I developed all the characters personally so I am the authority on this. Anna does have some bipolar tendencies to her personality, however they are a natural part of her character due to several reasons which will be revealed during the story. I've already revealed too much...
I was going to provide a save game to start Part 1 and Part 2 of the Family Trouble storyline. I decided against this and did something even better. Using console commands, players can skip ahead to the family story without affecting the rest of the game. This has many advantages. First, it allows you to customize your own character completely. Second, it still allows you to play through the 5 random/special events later once you meet the requirements for them. A save game doesn't allow either to occur. I only recommend that players use the console commands if they are only interested in the Family Trouble visual novel and nothing else.
I strongly encourage everyone to play the game normally and use cheats as needed to customize the level of grind that they are comfortable with.

During testing, I did encounter one issue when a random event triggered during the 'Family Trouble' story. This is one reason why the 'Family Trouble' story is saved for last during a normal playthrough.
I'll add more information to this post as needed... (I will be sleeping for the next 10 hours or so. I've been up for 26 hours and need some rest)
