Is it normal with this update to lose most of the girls traits and have to replay alot of the scenes?
As long as you update correctly, no.
Download the zip, unzip it, run the .exe. All your saves will be there.
A couple of weeks? do you have a job aside from this?
No, of course not. This is my full time job.
I take a couple of weeks off, typically 2 - 3, starting at Pre Release 1. All during Pre Release 1 I'm not thinking about future updates. I'm usually polishing the current version, and relaxing more than I would if I worked.
During the second week is what would be considered the actual 'time off' since the public release would be out.
The third week is what I dedicate to writing and setting up the next update. The events, the remakes, the story, the characters if any, etc etc.
This usually translates to 7 weeks working, 7 - 12 hours a day (except for weekends).
I know taking a couple of weeks off after each update doesn't sound the best, but I've been doing it since v0.3, and I've found it works really well. During v0.3, I worked for 9 weeks, taking the weekends off, and that was hell. I worked way too much then, my brain felt physically bruised from 9 weeks of creative thinking and working 7 - 12 hours a day.
But, I suppose the other way I could do it is work 7-8 hours a day like a normal human and take little to no breaks between updates. I don't know, I just typically like working all day for weeks until it catches up with me and I need a break. If it didn't catch up with me, I'd only take 1 week off between updates to write the next update, haha.
How can i more money? I only 25~30$ everyday
Pinups, and the bar.
