Does anyone know what is the update cycle for this game? The ch 4 update came quite late as explained by the Dev. But what is the usual update schedule of this game?

Does anyone know what is the update cycle for this game? The ch 4 update came quite late as explained by the Dev. But what is the usual update schedule of this game?

First Episode was published in January 2023 (see OP), since then 3 Updates ... do the math ... usually for most games the time for later updates is increasing due to more content and higher quality per update. So I would guess 6-9 months ...

Any source for this?
There is no pregnancy tag and it is also not listed as planned feature.

More interesting questions are :
- Are the genes in the semen her own female genes (XX) (as in her ovaries) or some different male (alien) genes from her new dick and balls (XY)?
- If she impregnates other girls, will she be genetically like a father or like a 2nd mother?
If her semen genes are XX, she may only produce daughters with other girls ... that won't solve the fertility crisis and may only lead to an all female generation (which may still die out in future because of lack of men.)
- What would happen if she used her semen to impregnate herself? Due to crossover the baby probably would not be a full clone ...

I imagine it’s going to be something like XXY and that her offspring will be girls and sometimes Futa. You know, the way it was meant to be if evolution wasn’t so limited

XXY is a known chromosome anomaly. The affected people are not futas and "are often infertile or have reduced fertility." So it is not an anomaly to assert in evolution which is usually based on reproduction rate and fitness ...

Yes. A developer on Steam wrote that there will be a pregnancy

With a male fertility issue subplot, of course there would be pregnancy in some form. Probably just in the endings though with a time gap, unless the story lasts one full year like badik should last.

Now that the heroine knows about the potential, she is more careful ... handjobs, blowjobs, boobjobs, footjobs, anal sex ... and for vaginal sex please only with condoms (see the huge shower scene in this episode).

Nooooo! Let the raw dogging begin! I, hope we get the option in the future to choose rubber or not. Maybe even ask people to get off the pill.

Now that I think about it I wonder if something in Jane's DNA makes her compatible with the formula she made to grow a penis, could that be the reason why Marianne was not affected by the experiment.

It has already been said that they only need the pill to have unprotected sex, Jane's semen gets pregnant but it is not magic.

The pill actually isn't perfectly safe : in average only ca 91% protection during a year (9% failure rate for typical usage)

Effectiveness :
"If used exactly as instructed, the estimated risk of getting pregnant is 0.3% which means that about 3 in 1000 women on COCPs will become pregnant within one year. However, typical use of COCPs by users often consists of timing errors, forgotten pills, or unwanted side effects. With typical use, the estimated risk of getting pregnant is about 9% which means that about 9 in 100 women on COCPs will become pregnant in one year."

That's a good effort to look for information, but this is a video game and the decision to get someone pregnant is not something random, that logic that sometimes it doesn't work does not apply here.

It seems there are no tags to indicate dark themes like family tragedy, suicide (attempts), death, ...

I guess to impact the player more, in "Acting Lessons" everything seemed joy and fun, it seemed like everything would be happy but when we got to the final parts "BOOOOOOOOOM" he stuck it in my ass really hard and left me looking like a used bitch on the floor.

I meant that these type of tags in general do not exist in f95zone's tag catalog.

"Acting Lessons" is an extreme example since the player was forced to decide which LI to save and which not so that she would die in the fire. (It's been a couple of years since I played it.)
I played a similar situation in another game where the player also has a decision "A or B (or wait)" to decide who lives and who dies, but there was the option to postpone the decision and find a way to turn off the whole mechanism creating the dilemma. (However that was a freeroam game in a 3D world, not a linear VN.) In context of "Acting Lessons", the mc would look araound and eg activate a fire sprinkling system or find a fire extinguisher which would allow to turn off the fire or at least save both LIs.

Personally I did not like the Lisa story in this Episode. Dev literally killed 3-4 characters, a small child and both parents, 2 in a car accident and 1 by suicide, and the blame is on Lisa who then attempts suicide, too ... (and probably succeeds if Jane does not find her in time.) That's all forced on the player without warning.
The scene comes right behind the huge shower sex orgie and the weekend choice. This change from humorous porn game to emotional tragic drama is very abrupt and it actually kills the mood for the game for me. If dev wants to tell this kind of dark story, best do it in a seperate VN, without humour and porn and with a warning for the players ...

That has been my plan from the beginning.

Quick question, I just finished Chapter 3 and am starting Ch4, but there hasn't been an update to the Gallery or Secrets, still ends with Ch3 stuff. Hadn't finished 3 when I updated the files to 4, do I need to reupdate them or anything, or is there just no updates there yet?

Edit - Saw some people saying they had similar bugs and it was fixed by a "reinstall". It worked for me to, but if you're like me and am dum, by "reinstall" they mean make a fresh folder and delete all the old flies (saves are unaffected), instead of just writing over the old files, lol.

It has already been said that they only need the pill to have unprotected sex, Jane's semen gets pregnant but it is not magic.

It is theorized that Marianne did in fact get affected. It would be hard to prove since the formulae did not leave a trace in Jane's blood so would not in Marianne's either. But her behavior is sometime strange, like too accommodating and perfect for Jade, as if she is getting molded to be Jade's partner. In this latest update, she is even fine with Jane having intercourse with others while she doesn't allow herself that freedom. If she wasn't affected by the experiment then there is something in Jade's sperm that did not get picked up by the twin's test.

It's a good and interesting theory, but it falls apart easily because from the beginning you can see that Marianne is turned on by her boyfriend showing interest in other women, this is clearly seen in the bar when Jane sits with Peter, Marianne looks upset by the other guy and makes advances on him but then when she sees Peter with Jane she starts to get turned on, this is something that can easily be missed, I had to replay several times to realize it.

So the experiment didn't change Marianne's personality, but I like to think that it's fate that brought them together.

Yes imo it's just porn logic/power fantasy/cuckquean fetish

Now that is a great point. I plan to replay the game soon to get the little men but taking the time to replay the bar scene and take note of Marianne's behavior might shed some light on it for me. That would be some superb writing and subtile foreshadowing/replayability enabler (or whatever you want to call that).

While I like the Idea that they are ment for each other too, there is something in the back of my head nagging me about the fact that she would escape from their experiment unscathed. I am not talking about her growing a dick too but something smaller or at least less drastic. It would signal me the potency of their formulae. The other option is that the experiment might have worked as a catalyst for something else that was already there.

On a totally different note. was there a game over screen for chapter 2 and maybe even 1? I got the ones for chapter 3 and 4 but that just gets me wondering about earlier in the game.

Anyone know of the incest patch and multi-mod can be used with the Steam version? And if so, does it break achievements?
