How do I know that a week passed to call back Yvette? More importantly, if I screw up the timeline and have that 7 days pass, do I have to start again?
Being a seasoned gamer, I'm sure you have a save point prior to Yvette leaving to help her sister. Save your game at its current point and load that save. See what day Yvette leaves. Let's say it was Tuesday. Now load your game again from where you were and check the day. Wait till Wednesday or better yet, Thursday and invite her back.

No guarantee, but try this.

From the developer's Patreon page...

Resolution change option makes the game unplayable on some systems. For all of you that get crashes as soon as you click on "preferences" or "load", please apply the fix attached "use_fixed_resolution_720" and extract it into your \game folder.
What it will do is the following:
It will remove the resolution options and also the auto window scaling. After you have applied the patch, you will also be able to manually scale the game window again (e.g. maximizing it).

it worked)) thanks a million! I love this game. I want to contribute monthy to

Also 1 way to check is to go to the Receptionist and ask to bring a new girl where you will be presented with the options available to you. IF Yvette is in the list, then you can invite her back. That is what happened to me as I didn't know either. So I started checking everyday when I thought she should be able to come back until she was ready to.

Well that depends on who you want to donate to. You can become a patron of the game developer, darkhound1, by visiting his Patreon page and selecting a level. Each has its own benefits which are outlined.


Or you can make a donation to F95Zone by clicking on the Donate button at the top of the page.

I think that there is a missing "Love" icon for when having a drink with Amy and trying to get the bathroom scene. As you can see in the 2 screenshots there is a love check fail, but if you look at the "scenes" for Amy it only shows a level 2 yellow heart (Affection) in order to be able to get this achievement and before you say that her 50 Affection/ 35 Love/ 100 Lust is too low to get this achievement then I ask how is it possible to get the first 3 "Hotshots" achievements that required a level 3 yellow heart (Affection)? 1586921376821.png 1586921288588.png

Ever thought of making a note?
Either on paper or a notepad document with the date she left.

One week is the minimum ingame time to invite Yvette back. If you forget and go over that time, there is no penalty to you for that and you will still be able to trigger the post-family emergency scenes by inviting her back when you get around to it. If you try to do it before the single week is over, she won't be shown as available to bring back.

It also seems that there is an affection check on the "Amy masturbates at the pool" achievement although it shows no Heart Level requirements to get it like some of the others do. I wish all of that was fixed as with the upcoming new heart system that will soon be in place if none or some of the achievements without hearts end up failing because of a particular check, it may cause a few people to rage quit after a few attempts at some of them.

That isn't what I am talking about nor what I meant. I was talking about the new heart system that soon be in place of which all the characters will be locked behind like Amy is for her stats and if the achievements are going to be heart locked as well then they all need the appropriate heart icon indicator to reflect what level that character needs to be in order to acquire that achievement. Also meaning so that a no heart achievement can be acquired and not get a Stat Check Failure.

There is no soon (tm) involved in heart system.
It is a huge task to add each, as demonstrated by Amy's.

It will be a gradual process over a long period of time and any existing interactions will be judged whether they will be allowed or not and in which situations. Unless deemed a bug, no fixing is involved.

As for people rage quitting, let them.

It matters not if a million or just one plays, this is about having fun creating and we happen to be so lucky that it takes the form of a game,

This forum? For Fun.
The Patreon? For Fun.

Beyond huge in size, expansive in scope, it has no end besides the day the creator does not wish to work on it anymore (which will come as a huge shock to people coming from other games).

Greetings darkhound1,

First of all congratulations and many thanks for your amazing work, keep doing what you do <3

I'd like to ask a quick question.

Are there any futute plans to include some of the other girls you've created on DeviantArt in your game?
Most notably Svea or Celeste?
Also, since I assume you promote some others' developers work aswell, could you please clarify which of the following 8 girls are yours:

Svea, Celeste, Katerina, Kendra, Julie, Olivia, Samantha and of course... Lady Quantum?

Thanks in advance, keep up the good work!!

Straightforward to answer,
  • No current plans to add other DA girls. May change, may not.
And I assume the question is whether they are derived from someone else, since they are all technically Darkhounds.

Using search on DA, finding their renders and checking gives that,
  • Svea, Celeste, Katerina, Kendra, Julie, Olivia and Samantha are Darkhound.
  • Lady Quantum is originally of the creator of the same name

I have several saves... but for some reason not on a day I sent her away. Reloading a save from a day or two before that wouldn't be the problem if not for high amount of completely random content in this game.
