Are the graphics only photos of real ppl or is there custom art version?
real people and places, we do this for free so no way we could afford to invest in 3d or 2d art for the game. As of right now we have 26,573 files in our image folder. So that is how many jpg's, png's and mp4's we have. Now a number of them are UI elements of course but most are jpg's and mp4's for the game.

I think real porn goes better with games like these. I can't see 3d or 2d art working very well. Especially since you'd need tons of pictures to make up for all the real porn ones. And in some games with 2d or 3rd art I've seen they tend to use multiple artists which breaks immersion. Surprisingly though, having tons of different real life women representing Svetla in the game doesn't bother me.

Even if they used the same artist or enforced a style, it'd be damn near impossible. If they were using commissioned art, the expectation would be that Sveta look like Sveta consistently throughout. Now, consider that the game currently has:
  • Multiple hair/eye/skin colors. Maybe it's not difficult to create the actual color variation files, but now you have that many more images taking up space. QSP isn't exactly conducive to layered images or hue manipulation.
  • Multiple hair styles. Imagine creating art for all the scenes using all the variations of hair style. Again, layered images not possible so that's multiple images per scene.
  • Multiple body types. See above.
It's easy to suspend your disbelief with real porn images. Not worth the effort to switch to custom artwork.

Girl Life ECV is amazing as-is, and the devs and writers behind it are awesome folks who deserve a round of applause.

It seems like the sister's quest is broken for me: I can't go to parties (the option isn't there at Friday at 18:00), and there is no way to have any event in the bedroom with her. Is there a variable that I can change to get this progressing again?

If i remember correctly you get the invition after drinking in the afternoon with her and her friends in front of the gym. Its been a while since i did this quest, but i think you also go to the party from there with them.

Yes--I can find her outside the community center, and I have been to one party before, but I cannot go to a second party.

To my surprise, the code should be working but the party doesn't happen. There is code determining that week = 5 (it is), (daystart - daystart mod7)) mod 2) = 0 (therefore it is Friday, and it is), sisterQW['party'] = 1 (it is), and daystart - sisterQW['partyday'] < 5 (therefore it is the right week, and it is).

This code should be firing, unless I did party = 1 and it cannot be repeated (therefore should be 2?)

At least I can move things forward by setting sisterbfspy to 4--this could not have been done through dialogs because I was not allowed to spy anymore.

I dont know about the codes, but maybe its just a logic error on your site...if the party starts at 18, you shoud meet with your sister before 18...as said, its been a long time since i did this quest. try to tag along by drinking with them in the afternoon.

I should have been more clear on that: Meeting at the Community Center requires += 5 minutes before the party, but when showing up at 17:57 it still doesn't work. My guess is that the breakup party possibly happened too early, but honestly I don't know. Progressing things with the spy variable seems fine for fixing my problem. Maybe it never progressed on its own because it takes a huge amount of willpower to fully spy on them.

rbx4 You were on the right track, one of the party switches is broken. If "potentially more bugs" does not scare you away, download the dev build instead. The invitation is fixed there.

Thanks everyone! I can also take a look at things in the dev build and maybe figure out how to fix my playing build as well.

The getting a invite needs to be cleared up, the party is every other week. I am going to get a coder to help me with coming up with some code that will trigger text that will tell you the day and time the party is going to be on which should hopefully help clear things up. With that said the party needs a complete revamp anyways. I doubt it is done this coming release as I need a break from working on the family stuff, but likely the release after that the party will get a complete revamp and hopefully fix any lingering bugs.

When you work on the Party can you please work even on the Rex Path.At the party all is ok.But the Dating at the Center is a Pain.His events have very low Trigger and then he need a lot of encounters to go forward in his Path as you have only 2 very small time windows at the Weekend and this 2 Windows cost you near the entire Day always.When you reach the Point he drive you around with his Car it even need a lot of time before he try something and then it lead to nothing as the MC stop him when he try to touch here.That is a little bit frustrating for so much Work.Look even in the folders and i see he dont have any Event after the scene in the Car so an real end or Sex is missing with him.

Likely not at the same time, it will likely come after the party is done. I like to do thing in stages and getting it all working before adding more. So my plan is to have several parties and then a final repeating one.
Rex B-day
Anya-Roma break party
Anya-Roma broke up party
Anya-Roma back together party
Repeatable party

Will want to make sure that all works and all the code etc is updated before touching Rex's stuff. So it will happen just not at the same time.

I have made a 0.8.0 image and sound update packs, they should be up on the mega link shortly after this post. They are uploading now. They are just the combined dev packs. I will leave it up for awhile but as soon as the new 0.8.0 update goes live in likely a couple of days I will be hosting a new 0.8.0 Core Image pack and sound pack.
