Yes, "exactly for" does makes sense, but for flow and better usage, the preposition should come first and the adverb next since "exactly" should be in the prepositional phrase. Also, the adverb should be next to "how long" since that is what it is modifying. However, as I mentioned, not really essential.
You mention that you found about 50 errors. Darkhound1 is correcting errors daily but doesn't bother to report that on his update for 2.1, though. Maybe what you are seeing has already been fixed.
If you want the text, you can use the unren program to open the files so that they can be viewed as a text file. (Note that this can hamper your ability to use updates and you may have to reinstall instead.) Still it should be reproduced in the format I used so that darkhound1 can easily view and correct it.
What I would suggest is that you keep a text file open as you play. When you find an error, note it, then later, get it in the right format and attach the whole thing as a text file. This editing is not darkhound1's favorite activity because he'd much rather use his time creating sexy images, but he is committed to making an enjoyable and professional looking game, so he does it. However, it is his project and he is free to ignore your changes.
Again, thanks for spotting and posting.
Why do you think I'm unable do read the text on a picture? I had already fixed it before your post.
I have no problem reporting what I think are dialogue errors in either format or both. I just want to be able to help get them fixed if they are indeed errors.

Dungeon room would be great addition. 4 places in room.

#1 Wall
you get tied up naked against a wall. 1 girl sucks you off or rides you or option for orgy where girls take turns sucking you off and mouting you til you explode. Also option for reverse roles where you tie up the girl and make love to her.

#2 Whip
you get whipped, but then girl feels sorry for you and rubs you down with oil and then covers herself in oil and rides you. Fun to have oiled up girls glistening while going up and down on you.

#3 Stocks and milking station. If girl is really high in affection and love she will let you put her in stocks and milking station where her boobs come through holes you can hook her up to milking maching or just suck on them. Then you can force your cock in her mouth while her head is in the stocks. You can also choose to do the girl from behind.

#4 Rope hang. Girl hangs upside down and you can face fuck her. lower the rope to finish her off with penetration.

After reading this, I had to check if I was really on the HI thread ...

I'd like the girls to have more jobs. Aly and Eva should be maids (with Eva doing a half-assed job).
I think Ivy would make a good masseuse. Maybe she could have a dream for the PC to give her a massage. During this she confesses that she wants to become one. You could set her up with Renee as a teacher. Then you could spy on their lessons. (Maybe, things get heated between these two, even.) Finally, you would be Ivy's first victim, um, client?

I was just checking on all the compliments, and I complimented Eva on her character.
Don't miss this. It's not exactly an Easter Egg, but close.
If you know Eva, you'll know that she isn't a sweet girl and will disagree with your compliment.

I probably should have asked my question a better way, which is my fault. How do I open the photo studio? I'm at like 120 days and still haven't figured it out.

Perhaps this will seem like a strange suggestion, but I would love if the game included some plain/heavy/ugly girls to invite to the island.

Hear me out...

The player could help them train on the island and use company favor to buy them beauty treatments from Joy. Then after you’ve set a good foundation you can send them off the island to change their appearance. When you invite them back, they are beautiful like the rest of the girls.

You could even have their personality change on the return trip based on how the player treated them when they were unattractive. Girls who were treated poorly may return but be cold and hard to win over. Girls who were jealous could come back with something to prove. Girls who were romanced would come back eager to repay the favor.

While I'd love to see some fan fiction of Joy helping girls like this (also, as part of her research), sort of like Joy side quests. Unfortunately, to add new girls to the island who change would be prohibitive. Some time ago it was suggested that the PC could change as he used the beauty cream and got stronger. A set of light weight images and heavy weight images would have to be added. The number of images which would have to have been added was over 1000.
I suggested something along the line of Easter Eggs, that might have been workable. Add kitchen workers, etc. who appear in the background of the restaurant, pool, beach, wherever. Before day 30 one could be fat, one skinny, and the like, but as time goes on, they get prettier and prettier until they all have figures like Heather or Jessica or Aly.
By taking away the interaction with such characters, the number of renders gets greatly reduced (to about 6 per girl, times about 3 kitchen workers, 1 gardener, 1 pool cleaner, to 30 renders total).
Remember, darkhound1 is working on many, many ideas, his own and others, so he has this on the back burner. Will we ever see it? Maybe one day; never say never.
Until then, write some fan fiction of your own and post it here. If people like it, dreat! If one of the skilled renderers who post here like it, maybe one of them will illustrate it. You never know.

An evening with Faye at the beach (0.2.1 preview)

Hello everyone!​
I hope you are all doing well.​
To lighten the mood, here is some Faye at the beach for you.​
The image is part of Faye's new posing scene at the beach. As you can see, the light was really great.​
I hope you enjoy the render.​
