I apologize if I asked a question that created this discussion, I thought that on this thread you could ask for things, not even I had asked for a billion euros...

No need to apologize. You're welcome to ask questions, but I hope you can understand and appreciate that when asking about 'cheat' codes you're treading in a difficult area. As SiJa pointed out, too often questions are asked for ways to shortcut the game, which often lead to more problems when someone Borks their game due to their own ignorance and then complains about the answer they received.

For the Aly fans interested in a RL equivalent, I think I found a close match.
She goes by the name of Wettmellons on a famous porn site.

I hope he makes another Faye sex scene at some point, maybe after this next update. 2 out of the 3 we have don't even visibly show her vagina, does anyone else feel it's not as arousing when you don't see the dick enter the pussy?

Just to add before people get excited about the above Development news...
Yes, it has gone down to 3 items being worked on, which is good news.

But...

As you can see the underground lab is built VN style, so is a procedural event.
It's been commented on how this will be over 3 days.
So by the looks of it, Day 1 of 3 has been done.
Development and details are yet to be added for Day2 and Day3 before this large event will be completed.

You can see Darkhound is getting through this as updates are regularly happening at a weekend...
and hopefully will not be that long before the next version will be released and we can all go back to the Island somewhere in the pacific and play the next chapter...

I don't know about the VN part. People are going to burn this thread even more with requests for full saves :( Ok, well it is Darkhound's choice and he is the dev. Let's see how it works out.

I have not seen it yet to know exactly how it works...
but from what I have been told and read...
It's only this underground lab event that will be created in a VN style.
The game is and will always be a Sandbox game.
Think of it as more of a very long event, so once you trigger and start it it will take a while before you end it and then can make your choice on what to do next.

It will still be that a full save will not let you see all the content without playing the game.

A full save file for a VN game is only any good to anyone if the developer of the game makes a scene replay gallery.
If no replay gallery... you will have a file that puts you on the last image/text of that version and all the new content of that version has passed.

I am with you there. In his Patreon post Darkhound explicitly talks about matching up timelines. That suggests it will be a maze of twisty little passages with different outcomes depending on the path you take. No problem there if you are prepared to try them and see what bests suits you. For the lazy: I NEED A FULL SAVE:ROFLMAO: I NEED A HERO:ROFLMAO: etc....

I would more say you would be more likely to get the "Walkthrough Plz" crowd.
The ones that want to see the best content path without putting in any effort ;)

No maze, no branches. All the main things will be strictly linear and you won't be able to not get them.
There will be breaks every now and then with short parts not in VN mode, where you will be able to waste some time in your room to shower, watch tv, wank, read.
Code wise, it's a sequence of calls.
call event1
call event2
call freeroam in playerroom
call event3
and so on...
Every event can be replayed by clicking on the achievement on the phone.
Given even more time, I might have been able to do it differently, but it would have needed a lot more scenes and development time. So the above is what you will get.
When talking about timeline, I meant two things mainly.
1. The time (of day), since the initial trigger (accident at the beach) can happen at different times of day. But at the end of day1 it should always be around 10pm, meaning I have to adjust the hours depending on what time it is already. So event1 to eventxx won't have fixed durations, which adds an additional layer of complexity.
2. A ton of stuff is checked and happens when you go back from a scene/event to sandbox mode. Same at the beginning of a new day. All this has to be consistently switched off and/or delayed, which is complicated.

Thanks for the explanation. But unless you plan to end the game this year there looks to be ample opportunity to knock yourself out on future lab scenes. I can envision 'you are needed in the lab NOW' calls by Joy.

A lot of effort went into the lab. There will be more scenes in the lab and also with the new characters.
One of the plans is e.g. to have regular checkups on the MC.
All this can be done as shorter events, scenes or appointments and whenever it's needed or wanted.
I might even add the lab as a sandbox location later on, where the MC can go to on his own to visit Daniela or Sara
