Hey AlienCatGames, so i was replaying the game. I found what it seem like a bug.
When you meet Steve for the first time if you select "i don't think we know each other" it delete all your current constructive point. Here a example :

Since i can't really check i can't say for sure it's what does it specificity. But checking multiple saves on different past playthrough, they all seems suspiciously very very low on constructive points too. Also choosing other choices here is fine and let us keep all our hard earn points^^

It's all good, not every characters need to be an LI but yes it's so common and expected from AVN that you might have peoples come here often asking for it or complaining of lack of content in the future with them.
Best bet would be to make it clear that they won't be any incest from the get go. Maybe some disclaimer or something.
At the very least make sure to no have any kinda of teasing or suggestion about it. Games who does this, like for example Eternum or Intertwined, who both tease heavily on that can be quite frustrating to players since they won't ever deliver anything on it.

As for the landlady thing, it's a moot discussion anyway since you don't plan anything with them :)
But games like Eternum are doing really well. :p

The truth is, I had planned a voyeur scene where you can watch your sister doing things with another character. I know that wouldn't cause any issues with Patreon, but do you think I should remove that scene anyway? :unsure:

Thank you so much, Meabe37! Great catch!

You're absolutely right, it's a bug. Instead of adding 1, it's assigning the value 1, so all the points were getting reset to that number. :poop:

I apologize for that and for any other bugs you might come across. Just keep in mind the sheer amount of code I've had to work on. :_D

Thanks again for finding it! :giggle:

Eternum doing really well, that even a understatement lol.

But you have those endless discussions on the thread: people asking for 3/4some with the mothers and the sisters. And peoples explaining why it won't ever happen because of Patreon and stuff. It a undying topic over there honestly.

In this case, having them sexable individually and the mom teasing about stuff related to her daughters while all the other girls will mingle freely and ALL have 3some together is fuelling the fire.

Well it doesn’t make Eternum or any game bad but yes i can't be quite frustrating for the players (and it bloat game threads lmao).

For other games like Interwined, Pale carnation and other like this: it's a regular spam of people asking for Mom sex content.

Anyway, teasing this kind of stuff won't help the situation with expectations from the unaware players and people coming to you asking for it or complaining about the lack of it. Hence why i suggested trying your best not to tease or put a clear disclaimer.

That being said i'm not trying to tell you what to do, just my suggestion. If you want to tease the players about incest, dangling the mom and sister in front of them and being a bit mean, go for it lmao.

Having the dad around + your sister involved with a dude (and plowed by him) are defo a good indicators for the players to not expect anything with them, romantically and sexually. So that good imo.

And as for me, I would never say no to some pervert voyeurism, especially when it's as depraved as watching a family member :devilish: (in game lmao). And i assume i would be optional so it's all good.

I would not consider MC spying as a real "players" tease. Especially since you watch her with her lover. It's not like you watch her in the shower and changing alone. But generally teasing for me would be more how the said character talk and say things to MC or would behave toward him. If they keep behaving like normal family members and normal (decent) human being it should be mostly fine i think.

Thank you so much, Meabe37! Great catch!

You don't have to apologise lol It's perfectly understandable, i was not complaining, just wanted to help ;)

I understand. The truth is, I'm not trying to provoke people with the possibility of incest (I don't have any scenes like that in mind except the one I told you about, that you might see your sister doing things with someone else), so I imagine that players who would like it to be included will see, as they play, that the family members don't provoke the character in any way, nor do I provoke the player with any such scene.

I suppose I'll never stop receiving suggestions to add incest, it's normal since it's something highly requested, and if Patreon changes its rules, I'll consider the possibility of including it. (It would be a branch of the story where you'd have to be very evil and "break" your family in order to force them into something like that.)

About the error, don't worry, I wanted to apologize in general, not just for the specific error you found, since there are people having problems with the resolution, for example, which fortunately has an easy fix. But I don't like it when players have their experience ruined because of bugs.

By the way, yes, in this game all sexual scenes are avoidable. :whistle:

At school, the hallway on the right doesn't work. How do I get out of there?
Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you encountered a bug that spoiled your experience. :(

At what point did it happen, had you loaded the game or did you get to that point with a new game?

In this video you can see a gameplay of how the game should look like (in case it's a resolution issue) and where is the transition UI of the hallway on the right:

Seems like a good game but the only thing that is stopping me is the mini games, can they be skipped?
Thank you! :D

Yes, of course, skipping mini-games is something that takes very little time to implement and, in turn, is something of considerable value to many players.

Also, if there are different resolutions: for example, suppose there are two or three possible resolutions to the mini-game and you want to skip it, I will ask which of the two or three resolutions you want to continue with.

In any case, when you see the mini-games, I think you'll want to play them. :) They won't be simple mini-games, and you'll always have the option to skip them if you get stuck.
