Confirmed... saves are there. Why the game isn't looking there for them when it put them there is a mystery.
Edit: Yeah... nope. Can't figure out what's up but the game has no saves listed to load even though there are saves in the save folder. And yes, the saves are from the version I'm playing, not old ones.

You can copy-paste Lucy's words, but they don't make sense when you try to bounce them back. The post wasn't a hate fest, it's an accurate evaluation of House Party's nature. While I kinda like this porn game myself, it'd be silly for me to pretend it's anything other than a porn game. Some devs just get pretentious about their work, and with porn commonly derided as being an inferior pursuit and Steam's removal of certain explicit games there's even more pressure to put on airs.
It's not like this is the first dishonesty on Eek's part. Remember the Madison blackmail quest? Its disappearance was initially answered with "gosh, I have NO IDEA how that happened!", which shifted to "a bug made it disappear but it WILL RETURN!" to "actually we deliberately took it out but that's just because of bugs and it WILL RETURN" to "we deliberately took it out and it will never return because it's like, buggy, or conflicts with other content, and we need to wrap the game up anyway so yeah." Yet somehow House Party hasn't wrapped years later, and if you took out everything that had bugs or content clash you'd be left with what, the title screen? The quest was so transparently removed to avoid complaints about rape, and done disingenuously so as to avoid the predictable counter-complaints about pandering to the SJWs.
Did you... read anything beyond my initial sentence? I never said it wasn't a porn game and neither did the dev. In my post literally right underneath this one you're referencing, I say flat out, that it's a porn game. Nobody's denying that? TBH, I'm having a hard time following here, as in the post you are referencing, I'm simply pointing out that this game isn't a "failure" (as he called it) as it's been one of the most successful adult games in the industry, and has overly positive review scores pretty much everywhere. Nobody is arguing that it's not a porn game, and the only reason I parroted that phrase back to Lucy is because it's as useless of an argument for my side as it was for his. I was just being sarcastic.
That's not how I remember it, but maybe you're right. IMO though, you can't really black and white these things, especially with the state the industry is in right now. Everything is simple when you don't understand the complexity of it. Eek! has been trying to fight the good fight about getting porn into the mainstream and not so scrutinized from the beginning. Maybe some of those things they said regarding this are lies, maybe some of them are true, and maybe all of them are true. All three of those scenarios are possible. We'll never know cause we're not the devs, but just because it's a complicated topic doesn't mean they were deliberately being dishonest. In the article that keeps getting referenced, they actually address this very issue though. You're also being somewhat disingenuous about what they said because you're biased against believing it's a lie. I remember all of this stuff too, but not in the way you are describing it. As I recall; It bugged out, they said they would try to fix it, and then they ended up saying that it was written against such old code, that they weren't able to bring it back, but then they DID bring it back with the help of a console command for people who still wanted to play the content, but they went a different route with Madison's story, frankly because they wanted to. It's not exactly dishonest from that perspective. But who knows. Maybe they couldn't be 100% honest because it would have hurt them as a company. If it were up to Eek, I think they'd let whatever fly, but they gotta deal with the SJWs and also not do anything to sabotage their ability to exist at the same time. Some of what you say might be true, and if it is, meh.. they probably just didn't want to die on that hill.
That blackmail quest depends on the Madison phone UI, which is totally hardcoded. You can't create custom story that uses it. Even text that appears in it is not translated and always in English.
It is not coincidence that new Ashley and Madison content uses action wheel for Calendar/Contacts/Voicemail and completely ignores phone UI.

Doesn't help. There is a work around that I found... I have to start a fresh game and while in there I can access my save games. The game doesn't seem to see them while on the main menu but in game it works. Weird.Try to clear the "Read-only" check box in properties
