What's new?



Fixed: Bug from previous bugfix that prevented getting further than fingering Gemma in the shed (pending bug from bugfixed bug).
Fixed: If Claire is on pregnancy countdown from Taxi Driver, the UI will now represent that.
Fixed: If Adel is dating Thomas and has low corruption, knocking on a door to a room that she’s in will no longer bypass the corruption check (Bathroom and Adel’s Bedroom).
Fixed: Using the bath or shower at 22:00 no longer causes time to skip 2 hours instead of one.
Fixed: After the Lucas boatyard event, Lucas' friendship stat will now become -20, regardless of paths taken (Does not apply to existing saves, however it will not negatively affect gameplay).
Fixed: After cumming inside of Adel in her room at 22:00, you no longer mention Thomas if she’s not dating him.
Fixed: You can no longer know Bear’s name and buy drugs from him before actually meeting him.
Fixed: Advancing in Mika’s arc is no longer reliant on not having met Brett yet (for those who have poked the unlock NPC cheat).
Fixed: If Thomas manages to fertilise Adel while screwing in her room at 14:00, the objective to buy her a morning after pill now activates.
Fixed: Gemma weightroom event skipping. For real this time!
Fixed: Showering with Amber at her house now correctly increases her maximum attraction points to 9.
Fixed: If Lucas is still at the house and Adel is dating Thomas, at 19:00 in the Hot Tub, if Adel is sitting with Thomas, the Lucas event should no longer fire (NTR on, Lucas Alpha path).
Fixed: If NTR is off, the requirement for leaving with Marie while spotting Gemma, is now that Marie has witnessed you and Gemma in the massage room after winning a sparring match against her, instead of Frank - which is only attainable with NTR enabled.
Fixed: Removed compass from screen while checking on Amy at 15:00 at the Secluded Cove.
Fixed: Time now advances correctly after talking to Adel and Thomas as they watch TV in the livingroom.
Fixed: Photo 10 (Amber/Bethany/Marley) now displays the correct thumbnail on the phone when found.

Changed: Phillip side image.
Changed: Following Marie while Frank spots Gemma now grants relationship points with Marie.
Changed: At the Cinema, during the evening, you can now talk to Bear directly from the Lobby, no need to navigate all the way to the coffee counter first.
Changed: Weekly stat decay now has a greater effect, the higher your fitness or intelligence. (<=9 = -2, <= 19 = -3 and >=20 = -4)
Changed: Attending Maths, English or Science classes now grants intelligence up to a maximum of 20 (up from 10).
Changed: Reading ‘Random Magazine’, ‘Massage for Dummies’ or ‘Nimble Fingers' from your bookshelf at home, now grants intelligence up to a max of 20 (down from 50).
Changed: Buying or reading ‘The Queen’s English’, ‘Numbers 101', ‘The Scientific Method’, ‘Easel Peasel’ or ‘Taking Notes’ from your bookshelf at home will now grant intelligence up to a maximum of 30 (down from 50).
Changed: Studying outside of Uni with Rhea or Stacey will now grant intelligence up to a max or 30 (up from 10).
Changed: With NTR off, you can now follow Marie (assuming conditions have been met) instead of staying to spot Gemma in the weights room (Frank’s interaction with Gemma is limited to teasing her about Jake and Marie).
Changed: Added an extra requirement of 10 points of friendship with Lucas for him to NOT take advantage of Melissa during her visit. Should make this event a little easier to achieve. (NTR on)
Changed: More dialogue changes to Thomas and Adel’s pub date if they’re actually dating. This dialogue will depend on Adel’s corruption status (NTR on).
Changed: Offering to help Gemma do the laundry (even though she’ll refuse) will now remove one point of corruption (if more than 0). This is to make up for the fact that the other 2 girls have daily corruption reducers, while prior to this change, Gemma’s could only be reduced one point per week.
Note: A secondary source of corruption removal for all girls is also planned for sometime during the next few updates.

Added: Virginity tracker for Bethany.
Added: More content to Marie’s massage event.
Added: Can now take Marie’s virginity (requires 14 attraction points).
Added: Can have sex with Marie in the Sauna (requires taking a nap in sauna and that Marie has lost her virginity).
Added: Marie can now be found giving Frank a massage in the massage room (Requires Frank witnessed you and Gemma after boxing - NTR on).
Added: After having sex with Marie at least once, you can now fuck her in the yoga room while Gemma is lifting weights.
Added: Dialogue box opacity slider in preferences menu (credit to GetOutOfMyLab).
Added: Amber needs help with her stream (requires Bethany met and showered with Amber).
Added: You didn’t help Amber with her stream (NTR on).
Added: After creating your bWitch account at Amber’s request, you can now access any available VOD’s from the new app on the PC in your room.
Added: ‘Go To Uni' Button next to ‘Home’ Button will now appear on the UI at 09:00 weekdays. Giving the option to take all classes or walk with one of your house mates.
Added: Dream sequences for MelBel, Steve, Thomas (Thomas scenes will need to be replayed to unlock).
Added: Gemma in the sauna (Unfinished).
Added: With Cheatmode active, you can now choose which Sauna event you’d like to play instead of relying on RNG.

Anyone know how to get rid of old save files? I've been trying to start with a clean slate without confusing myself telling the difference between old and new saves because I made so many. Made multiple attempts to get rid of old saves by either deleting the game itself or the save folder but never able to. Is there another way?

Go to this directory and delete everything except your persistent file, unless you wanna lose skip data then delete it as well.
C:\Users\*USER NAME*\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Horton_Bay_Stories_Jake
Then delete the save data in the game folder and everything will be clear.
Alternatively you can mouse over your saves and hit the delete button on your keyboard.

Can somebody answer me why this game doesn't have a gallery mod? it seems to me like a game that needs one.

I asked this months ago and I still don’t know why but I do think it’s possible considering how many characters there are in this game. Also it takes a long time to try and get all of the scenes NTR scenes and all MC scenes with all the girls.

I have played a few sandbox which also doesn't have a scene gallery that works like normal vn. Midnight paradise, confined with goddess and such. They have a scene gallery but it's for replaying scenes that aren't sandbox events.
This game have dreams which replay only ntr events so far and I think that's because they don't stay in game? For example Lucas sandbox event isn't gonna stay in the house forever since he is either kicked out by MC or Bear at some point of story. As for MC scenes it's all sandbox events and recurrence, you just show up and interact with the girls at their fixed timing.
Just like when I played midnight paradise and when I finally maxed out the sandbox events, there are way more sex scenes in sandbox than in story/quest which gallery did not cover :unsure:.

Can't say what is on the devs minds, but I can easily think of several very valid potential reasons:

1. Most scenes are repeatable anyway and simply require going to the place at the right time. This makes developing a gallery mod of much less value for players, and thus for devs to waste time on compared to the value of spending the same time on new scenes and content.

2. There is already the dream mechanic and system that fulfils the basic function mod, and seems (to me) to focus on the non-repeatable scenes. See point 1.

3. Given the repeatable scenes and dream system, what little use or value there is for a gallery mod is mainly for people to be able to see all the scenes without playing the game. The devs want people to play the game, obviously, or they'd just make a CG set.

4. There may be plans to create further scene gallery systems before the game is complete, but due to the limited value right now, and the much higher value of progressing the project as a whole (new scenes and content) it is a low value item on the 'To do' list, and likely to be in the 'polishing' phase after the game is basically complete.
