Five of a Kind v0.3.5.1 [Stability Update]
PC (x64):
MacOS:

Notes
  • This update primarily includes bug fixes to v0.3.5, along with a few gameplay improvements I was working on. Among the bug fixes are two longstanding game-breaking, and difficult-to-reproduce bugs that could put the game in an unwinnable state.

Gameplay Improvements
  • The Contacts page in the Quest Journal will now have “tabs” for each character so you can jump to the character you want to work on without having to click next or previous multiple times to scroll through the characters.
  • The game will now keep track of the highest level of Dirty Talk you've unlocked through gameplay and use it when playing Spank Bank scenes from the main menu (for scenes that actually have Dirty Talk implemented).
  • Resetting the Spank Bank also will reset Highest Dirty Talk Level Unlocked setting to None.
  • Using the Title Screen Cheat Hotspot 5x will set Highest Dirty Talk Level Unlocked to Max (currently Level 2).
  • Meredith's Fan Service time slot in the Afternoon (Sleeping, Trying on Lingerie, or Using Vibrator) will now predictably cycle through the available options instead of being randomized each day.

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a longstanding and nasty bug where it was possible to get a Quest Accepted or Quest Completed banner stuck on the screen forever with no way to get rid of it other than starting over.
  • Opening the Pause menu while either the Inventory or Journal menus are open and then selecting Resume will restore the HUD icons in the upper left. This bug is particularly nasty because it could potentially put your game in an unwinnable state, depending on which screen you're on (e.g., Irene's house).
  • Using the trunk at the foot of MC's bed after finishing the Meredith shower quest or when you already have the shorts now gives a proper "you did this already" message rather than giving you another pair of gym shorts. If you load a save game where you've completed the shower quest and have an extra pair of gym shorts from this bug, they will be automatically removed.
  • Using the zipper in the Upstairs Bathroom now causes MC to drop his pants, giving different results if he is alone, Brooke is showering, or Meredith is showering.
  • Slightly reduced font size in death popup to prevent the menu text from overlapping the buttons in Ultrawide (21:9) rez.
  • Added black bars to Kissing Scene on Ultrawide.
  • Cash register sound effect no longer is interrupted with quest progress sound when getting the cash from Irene.
  • Meredith no longer shows up randomly in the back yard.
  • Brooke's bedroom will have the lights on at all hours so that Brooke and Jasmine won't be sitting in the dark at Night after Charlotte accosts Brooke for her music.
  • Outdoor mattes outside Brooke's bedroom window will now correctly show winter versions of the tree and houses across the street if holding the Winter Gem.
  • Haircutting scissors no longer show up as valid option during Meredith BJ Scene.
  • Asking Meredith what's on TV when Charlotte has taken control of the TV will now give an appropriate message.
  • Main Menu and Exit Game confirmation dialogs now pause the game.
  • Bringing up the Pause menu while the Inventory or Journal menus are open will close them.
  • Using the Summon Nicole button while already talking to Nicole no longer repeats the camera zoom and gives an appropriate "You're already doing that" message.

I wonder why UI have independent button for summoning Nicole? It is more logical to add this option to the phone or bed / wardrobe (pants off). Is it reference from some sitcom?
It's really meant to be a "take pants off" icon. Currently, it's main use is for summoning Nicole, but it can be used in a couple of other places for funny deaths. More will be added in the future.

Nicole popping up at MC's window IS a reference to an old TV show. Having the otherwise useless Zipper icon on the HUD is a reference to Leisure Suit Larry 5-7.

How do I complete the dryer fix and get the Chardonnay?
There's a dryer vent on the outside of the house. The glass of Chardonnay can be gotten by using the wine glasses in the kitchen.

This game has pretty nice reviews, looking forward to try it out. Just 2 questions,

1,does the incest content is only mother/sister, or does have it have aunts and cousins as well?

And second, is the writing nice? While I don't like frustrating quests, I also don't like when characters seem braindead and look way too much like a porn game, I like it when the story tries at least to be somewhat believeable, not the usual "hey bro you're hot, let's fuck".

I don't mind the quests to give you work, after all I even thank the dev for that, it's a game, it should have gameplay, so as long they aren't frustrating or the griding isn't absurd it is cool. The art also has it's appeal from what I see from the previews.

Also, good luck to the dev on the project.

It's not quite that blunt.

But all the sexual content with the mother is basically initiated by her. Then it goes downhill in the typical "let's talk about it" corner.

So if you expect any kind of realistic taboo content, this is not the game.

Any progress on filling up the dojo with popcorn event? :sneaky:
LMAO! Not anytime this year, but that is a planned story arc for either a Brooke or Nicole update down the road. :sneaky:

Bonus points if you know which two 80's flicks that is a reference to.

So there is pregnancy in this game? Also do we get to actually see the big bellies or is it just the initial stages?
There are no pregnant bellies or pregnant sex at the moment and won't be for a long time. Currently, the game gives Achievement style popups when you get a LI pregnant, but there are no visible effects as a result.

My research/polling shows that most players only care about pregnancy up to and including the moment of conception and don't really care about the stuff that happens after. Many players don't want pregnancy at all, so I have provided a Toggle in the Settings to turn Pregnancy Off.

Pregnant Bellies and Pregnant Sex are things that I would treat like an expansion pack. (Sims VI: Pregnant Bellies)

This game has pretty nice reviews, looking forward to try it out. Just 2 questions,

1,does the incest content is only mother/sister, or does have it have aunts and cousins as well?
The mother has the most content by far. The sister has some really nice quests and one (vaginal) sex scene. There are two aunts which I'm currently developing. Aunt Irene has a BJ scene.

The "awkward, nerdy girl next door" character who MC has "friend zoned" is his cousin and many of their scenes create a lot of unresolved sexual tension.

And second, is the writing nice? While I don't like frustrating quests, I also don't like when characters seem braindead and look way too much like a porn game, I like it when the story tries at least to be somewhat believeable, not the usual "hey bro you're hot, let's fuck".
I'm not the best person to assess this because I have an obvious bias. If I may self-assess: I think my dialogue writing is way better than my story writing, if that makes sense.

To take the mother/son story as an example, I tried to write an overworked and overextended single mother who has become exasperated at the notion that her adult son has accumulated little experience or interest in girls. In order to "jump start" his interest in girls, she decides to teach him how to kiss which kindles a mutual and ever-growing desire lust for each other.

You left out the mom's lustful friend who sparked the Jumpstart.

On the 80's flicks. I'll take a wild guess and say PeeWee's Big Adventure. I have no clue.
The 80s are like a Miami Vice rerun to me if you know what I mean. :sneaky: Cough up your secrets, good sir!

Not one, but 2 aunts? And also a cousin along with a sister and mother already in game?

I don't mind that. I'm not demanding enough to not be able do differentiate real life from a porn game. Even though, I like where the writing at least makes an effort to actually enforce the corruption theme. Some characters may be more lax, some have more conflicted thoughts, others feel enthrilled by the taboo, etc. As long the game feels "natural" or at least tries to do so, I have nothing against.

That's why I gave the example of the "hey bro you're hot let's fuck", since it doesn't give any kind of character development or at least a change on the view of family relationships. Wether be it normal story, or the dialogues as you mentioned. What you mentioned about the mom is nice, although I hope at least there's a part where the part thinks to herself at times if she isn't going too afar in what she can help. But at the same time, 1 thing leads to the other.

Anyway, thank you very much for your comment. Looking forward to try the game, and if the game is nice and dev time is nice, then it's may worthy of patronage.
