So I did find an issue related to Sylvia. I can't go to the sanctuary without an error

```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

This seems to be an error specific to your game. Corruption of installing incorrectly likely lead to this. You can install the update patch to fix this issue.

I'm not to sure on how to respond to this, but I'll try to be as diplomatic and non-confrontational as possible.

There was about three or so hours of new content in this update; revamped scenes from earlier in the game, an expanded gallery, advancement of several storylines, events with each girl, new lust scenes for the droid, Emma & Felicity in the dungeon together, twins pin-ups, a dating/Affection system...

It was a sizable lengthy update and one that I found very enjoyable. I guess we each have our own idea about what makes an update worth it, and we most certainly disagree on it.

Post Edit; 1100th post like. Thank you spacekun, fitting that it was a "facepalm." To me, that only means that my post was dead on target.

It wasn't 3 hours, I was done in 1 an a half. if. Secondly, it doesn't matter how much is done to the system or earlier scenes, it's about the amount of content beyond the current save that really matters. And in terms of forward content, there wasn't much. Yes, several of the scenes were longer, but every one of the current storylines was just "teased". There was no real concrete momentum in any of them, just a lot of set up for the future. That's what I found irritating. They were all setups and none of them were continued. Like the Android's, "I'll need a few days for the transfer", you'd expect from how her story has worked in the past that you'd wait a few days and it'd auto trigger. Instead it was the end of her story.

So you can spend time on stuff from earlier in the game, you add or revise scenes, you can change systems and expand the gallery, but those are things you could release in a non-content update. A content update should be focused on just that, or you end up with a Half-length update like this one.

To be fair, the lust and dating systems are quite a lot.

Everybody has their own pace and everybody looks at what they want to look at. There's a lot to do. A lot to read. the dating system dialogue is enough especially if you start from the beginning and see how the dates and the dialogue evolve from there.

I'm not getting into a pissing contest about this or that and the amount of time it takes to finish the update. I like the update. Others don't.

I'm satisfied with the update. some are not. Fine. Your prerogative. Be picky and choosy all you want. I've played nice with people over the last day or two, but I'm tired of hearing about update bitching. I think Runey did a good job on it, and it was worth the wait The rest of you can cry in your coffee all you want.

I'll just hit the Ignore button and happily go about my night.

This game has several types of content. If that makes sense.

You have story content. When you talk to the girls and advance their stories.
You have repeatable sex scenes content. All the repeatable sex positions and activities in the different outfits. The lust system too.
You have the dating & hanging out content. Watching TV, going to the café or the beach etc.

I think RoadWulf is talking about story content. Most of this update was on non-story content. The dating system, lust system and that sort of thing. So, if you don't care for that stuff the update was on the shorter side.

Some people expect too much. Some people are happy with what they get, and others won't be satisfied no matter what you give them.

I said my piece, others will say theirs. I get not every update is going to be stellar, or full of content a player might want, but let's just be happy we're getting them. Instead of waiting 10 months or OVER two years for updates for other games to come out.

Be happy with what you get or cry in the corner and move on. I'm happy with it. Others are too, but there's always going to be that one person here and there who's never satisfied.

Has anyone else encountered the bug where Ellen has disappeared from the lobby, but whenever you click on the desk, door behind desk or revisit the lobby her name pops up saying you have an email? It's persisted since the last version on my save I believe.

Have you tried checking the other rooms to see if she's there (especially downstairs)?

Check the laundry room or the hot springs first (most likely the hot springs), and see what happens. If she's not there, then it's probably a bug. I never personally had that one though.

I'm an absolute idiot and somehow didn't check the hot spring - which looks to have instantly solved the issue. God damn I feel stupid now.

Many thanks!

What do i need to do to have 7,5k to buy Sylvia ? God, she is so expensive !

Just keep making money from the bar (if you've built that up enough and invested in Advertising), and eventually you'll have enough to buy her. It takes a little time, just keep going.

 

[RohanGuillermo]

What does everyone think of the new repeatable date content? I know it's not exactly primary content, but I think it can make the game feel a lot deeper and like less of a grind.

It might be hard to notice unless you pay attention, but the locations are random and unlock throughout the story. And dialogue can be completely different depending on stats and friendship levels, so some things will only be seen on a fresh play through.

Lin and Android will probably get dates at some point as well \o/

I thought it was a clever way to add depth and characterization without much grind. You could easily use the same mechanic for the elves ("missions" instead of "dates", or some such).

 

[Eternalm88]

Is there any way for the gallery to take into consideration current stats, or just assume max stats? It's too bad that there are a bunch of scenes that they only way I can replay them is to replay the entire game, or make a bunch of saves.

What did you expect, she's super high maintenance.

v0.13 was the biggest story update I've ever released. v0.14 would probably be somewhere in the top 5. I've been putting in extra work and time into these updates recently, and it's a shame that some people don't see that.

I try to make story events around 15 minutes long on average now, some will go to 30+. This depends on your reading speed, but I'd say that's pretty good. I don't play other porn games though, so I can't compare.

If I hadn't worked on the dates, that work probably would have went into freestyle sex and remade repeatable scenes with outfits for every main character. 1 - 2 story events for each main character is normal. This is the first and only time I've heard that comment in a very long time though.

that did not solve the issue, i still have the sylvia idle error.

Not that I know of.

 

[fdragonx7]

i can play scenes like lin being pissed at them fine, but i cannot interact with sylvia or nia, if i try it errors then kicks me to ann in the shared room and i can only escape by passing time
