I doubt it. This is the most shameless patreon milking I've ever seen and hoo boy have I seen a few.
Unity Inner Self Development Program [v0.8.9] [Carnile]
- Thread starter Pinguino47
- Start date
This dev is something else, it's hard to say who's fucked in the head more him or his patreon supporters.
The high quality consistent content - how does he do it???
5 years of development and what did he achieve???
Introduced a new character that leads to shit load of annoying dialog you can't skip? ??
Added a player "progress" perk system that at current state doesn't do a thing but progress gate you a little, because there is no other options but traveling one line???
Reworked the art of the professor that was more then fine before?
Added a fitness system that leads no where and some repeating unskipable mini games?
The game is glitchier then ever before, dialog is full of stupid shit like shaking boxes and timeouts, sometimes the assets take so long to load in that you manage to advance your location bricking the shitty game and it's a known enough of a problem that the dev hard coded some fail safes into some zones.
In the past with a no good saving system you could at least revert back to the start of the day but now you can go start all over gain if your stupid enough.
There is no reason a project like this should use Unity it's a Renpy game at most, you could argue that the choice is based on programming language but it's clear there's hardly any programming skill displayed by the dev so might as well go Renpy.

damn came out version 8.9 already that was fast for them..... anyone has the changlog maybe they fixed the save issue (unlikely but i one can hope)
Unable to start the app on Mac M1 Sequoia 15.5 getting an erro The application" InnerSelf v0.8.8_mac.app" can't be opened. Any clue?
So its a new intro developing the history of mc with Mike and jess and nope no save yet he has said until its out of pre alpha the save will be disabled as he cant see why people need it as he's changing the beginning of the game and how the text boxes work having a save from a older version will mess it up

I can't understand how so much potential is being wasted here. The game started with so much potential to get out of the shadow of Kinky life style imo. And while I understand problem with the save system if you are not confortable with the intro so far. BUT, 5 years of development that yeld to little to no changes can't be justifiable. I mean either the dev hired someone else to create what we saw at the beginning and now while milking patreon to ground the debt, he's taking time to learn which could be fair if and only if that was stated clearly of course. But still while I was hiped first time I saw this, now I'm just frustrated. I would have love to support this but lack of consistence and geological time spans force me to criticise instead.
Yeah it is common you basically have to use the terminal and do a chmod
- Open a terminal window (CMD + Space -> terminal);
- Using the cd command, navigate to the place where the application is stored: cd <path_to_application>
- Run chmod +x <application_file> to make it executable. If it doesn't let you, sudo it:
sudo chmod +x <application>.
You must be registered to see the links
and it workedWhy wouldn't he have saves only work with the version from which they came? Anything messes up right now, you have to start again. People aren't going to help you bug fix with this system...

Do you know if the game can now be saved or if the gym or mirror errors have been solved?

Not sure why the dev wanted to spend almost two years on the gym and muscle development. Muscular sissies seems like such a small niche.

tl;dr - Remade the remake of the remake, added no continuation.
