This is kind of where I'm at on this topic. I get the pros/cons of going the landlady route in terms making the game more palatable to some platforms, but ultimately I come down on the side of not wanting to self-censor. This is a passion project for me and if I lose out on supporters because I'm not on Patreon, it's unfortunate, but I'm willing to accept that. I'm sure if I changed the game to landlady/roommate, I'd just lose a different set of supporters.
Hopefully some day. I haven't prioritized this for a couple of reasons:
I'm already hyped up for the sequel Forgot the last time a demo hit that hard. hahaha.Same as the user above. Please do see if there's any solution possible for my save as it was the only one I had >.<'
Monthly is honestly unrealistic. I did put out a hotfix this morning to fix as many critical/pressing things as I could, but I want updates have a good balance of bug fixes, qol improvements, and new content in them, so I'll aim for 2-3 months.Forgive me if my question is premature JorogrArt , but did you already fix yourself some kind of rythm concerning your updates cycle ? Monthly ? Every 2 months ? Not asking for a precise date, just an approximation, If possible
Unfortunately, I did load your saved game and see the freeze, but at the point the game was saved at, the damage had already been done and I couldn't come up with a way to unfreeze him. If you had saved the game inside the newspaper, the hotfix I put out this morning would rescue that save, but that's obviously.. not helpful.
Yup... not really any consolation, replaying everything is just... annoying. My advice for the future: prepare yourself for incidents like this, don't rely on the player. Having a debug button that will just send the character to sleep or just teleport to his room in case things like this happen should be a thing. Also auto-saves for 1/2/3 days each time the player wakes up and that can't be overwritten by the player are also good ideas as the player can just load those up in case of a bug. I'll skip on this game for a good while until it's no longer really in my head and will replay it then, best of luck with it, and I see you don't have a game developer badge. You should open a ticket on this site and ask for it.
Thanks for taking the time to write this out!
The steps look correct to me. Can you post or DM me a saved game? It may be there's a latent bug I missed.
yeah after the scene end when I click exit, keep up the good work dev wonderful game. don't stop mommy content
The bug with Meredith standing there at the bed and the scene not starting was fixed in last night's hotfix patch.
Oof. Deep cuts.
Yeah writing a story about how to get a mother to start fooling around with her son in a consensual way was a challenge. Esmeralda was conceived as a "devil on the shoulder" instigator character. The idea of having her instigate the MC as well is a good one. Also, as you said, an excuse to have a hot Latina MILF character.That dialogue option is actually not supposed to be there yet, but it doesn't do anything at the moment so I'm not going to hotfix that (unless I need to put out another hotfix for other things). The reason the Meredith route stops after the blow job is that Act II (three act structure) will start shortly after that where she goes through a "what in the world have I been doing?" phase and temporarily takes away all the options that have been put on the table until Act III.
Yes, that is something that is planned, perhaps in the next big content update. The decision to show her from that angle was partially a recognition that all the other animations focus on face and boobs. I was also motivated by the "see if I can do an ass animation" factor. At a minimum there will be an option to view her from more a front angle.
Agree on streamlined dialogue for repeating scenes. I will put the misattributed dialogue on my list. There's probably 100 other lines in the game that have the wrong speaker that I don't know about.
Others have asked this. From the Pause menu, you can use Restart Game, which is really a Main Menu button. So, you could save the game, Restart Game, which takes you to the main menu and then you can view the Spank Bank and then load the game. I will look into making this whole process more intuitive. Technically, there is no limitation I'm aware of for making the Spank Bank scenes accessible in-game.
I will put windowed mode on my list. Multiple people have asked about it. I did address a game-breaking issue with closeups/portraits not being able to exit because of the Exit hotspots on the left and right of the screen. I put additional hotspots at the top and bottom which make it "playable" on, say 1280x1024 (4:3 aspect ratio), but I didn't enjoy playing it that way.
Thank you for the thorough critique and thoughtful, constructive feedback! Cheers!
This is a good attitude. Changing something genuinely you don't like is not the way to lead a passion project. You're in charge of everything, because it's your property and nobody else and haters will always shake the devs to favor them things they don't owe, because they're always whining about this or that being incorrect, instead of shutting the fuck up and enjoying what is given, after all, this is a pirating site for sex games, yet there will always be manchilds climbing over each other. You can't please everyone and you shouldn't, because like I mentioned - it's your idea and you shouldn't let anyone interfere with your idea. Obviously, accepting improvements is a good thing, but they're consumers and you're the one whom ultimately decides what route someone must take. The best games stem from the unhinged control over development. If people don't like it - don't play, plain and simple.
