A question, i started played and right now i am in chapter four,but it seems that the game will be about the corruct cops just winning because of power and you just getting hard ntr ( which seems really likely), i just want to know of that if that is what is going to happen. i dont mind the ntr, but if this is a history about despair and just losing , i might just abandone it.
If someone could tell me more or less what is going to happend i will be really greatful.

Hello Mr Rich.
Great game you created, you can be proud of yourself. Small question, I see a lot of developers who complain about leaks on their games too frequent on sites like F95, what do you think? Does F95 kill the Porn Game or on the contrary give it more visibility?
And in your case, you decide when to bring your update here? After having made all your patrons benefit from it?
Thanks in advance for your answer and keep your amazing work
I'm sure the first set of questions would vary among developers. In my case, I found F95 first, and got involved in development later, so I sort of understand the dynamic here. Sure, there are people here who will play the pirated games and never contribute a penny to them. On the other hand, I suspect that the majority of my supporters found out about the game here, since I'm not really active on other sites. So, it's a trade-off, I guess.

In several cases, I've posted links to my releases here myself (last Christmas, for example). I figure that as long as my supporters get the release first, having it end up here later on doesn't really hurt me. And "owning" the thread does help me control things a bit.

Lol i don't see your post before i share the new update that's what i call a very bad timing
No worries by me. It's been almost a week since all my supporters had access to the game, so...

is there a character renamer for this for the MC.. or can the SHIFT+O option work to do it yourself.. id like to try it but not under a preset character name
No, I didn't build that into the game, sorry. This started out as a pure kinetic novel, and it didn't seem appropriate back then.

played this early doors ,sure son ended up with phone to command mom,maybe im wrong-pity.then new issue over 4 years in making-then puts out scenes that did not make it.its really simple if dev cant complete game in 5 years for me not worth supporting-just my opinion problems is there are too many at it
"son ended up with phone to command mom"? That's not part of this story. You are correct that I've been working on this project for about 4.5 years now. I could have ended it far earlier if I hadn't gotten conflicted as to which ending I wanted to tell. Hence the branch in the middle and the dual paths.

The "scenes that didn't happen" parallel track is a way of satisfying some of the requests I've had from fans. Since this isn't a full-up "branching game," there's only so much content that "fits" with the main story lines. So, I had a choice - I could either ignore everything that wasn't "canon," or I could tell alternate bits and pieces separately. I chose the latter. If what you're saying is that I'd be done with the main game if I hadn't done that, you might be getting close to the truth, but sometimes I just need a break from the main story. (It's a bit wearing being author, renderer and coder all alone. Although the support here does definitely help. Plus, I do have a life outside of FF&S.) Note that I have a fair backlog of STDH ideas, so it will probably have a life beyond the completion of FF&S.

Anyway, if the project doesn't please you in any way, that's perfectly, 100% OK. Thank you for stopping by, and good luck finding projects that please you more.

Tell. on what plot do the paths diverge?
In the middle of Chapter 9, there is a choice as to whether Parker decides to cooperate with the cops or resist them. This choice leads to two very different outcomes.

its a kinetic novel with paths?
I would best express it as a kinetic novel with two paths. As mentioned just above, there is exactly one branch in the story, and there won't be any more.

Hey Guyz , Is this the Final version of the update , i mean does this complete all the paths ?
No. The "Parker resists the cops" path was finished a few releases ago. This extends the "Parker cooperates" path, but it's not complete. There will probably be two more releases until the other path completes. That's not 100% cast in stone - might be 2, might be 3. The basics of the plot are all worked out, but I never know how long individual scenes are going to be until I actually write them, and sometimes I change my mind as to where to put a breakpoint between releases.

Anyway, for those of you who are enjoying Parker's adventures, thank you for your continued support, here and elsewhere!

FYI, in addition to Sense_9's question, I've had a few other people (supporters, I assume - you know who you are) PM me about my thoughts on my project being posted here. I've replied to them all individually, and replied to Sense_9's post, but...

First, for those who did discuss this with me privately, a public "thank you" for a courtesy that I suspect is not extended to every dev. It means a lot.

Second, in an ideal world, all of my supporters on SubscribeStar and Patreon would have access to the game for a couple of weeks before non-supporters got hold of it. I usually release to my "lower-level" supporters a week after it's been released to my "upper-level" supporters. And in the few cases where a release hasn't made it here after being available to all my supporters for a "reasonable period of time," I've submitted links to it here myself.

Third, however, is that I'm fully aware of the nature of this site, and I'm a very "go with the flow" kind of guy. If a release makes it here ahead of when I'd have preferred it, well, c'est la guerre. I have plenty of other things to worry about in life - this isn't one I lose sleep over.

Started out strong with the Mum getting strip searched and some of the things with the Girlfriend were promising like the photo shoot, but it quickly nose dived into endless filler chats with the boring son and seemingly random people never really delivering much else after the early *hook the viewer* scenes. I have no time for horny teenage boys or their magical ability to land women that are far to good for them in these adult games, I've been through that phase already thanks, its just not believable writing either. Perhaps just take the focus off the son and his nerdy friend so much and put it on the Mother and or his Girlfriend more please, atleast thats my take but I prefer female protagonists or ACTUAL successful good looking men that could attract a beautiful female not boys...Nice art though and the Girls are Pretty. 3/5

Wow, Parker feels so brainless sometimes. How the hell do you go from that hot blonde who already gave you a bj in the park before, to just inviting her to watch a basketball game to make your girlfriend jealous? then the cop tells him later you know she’s a stripper and you can do anything you want with her. I mean it’s not like he has an issue with cheating, cause he still bangs that other flat chested cheerleader. Also would have liked to see him bang his teacher at the police station, maybe make her wear a blindfold so she doesn’t know it’s him
