thanks, but how can i take this file? when i click it's open to me a new page with text in, can't find an other way
Don't left click on the link. Right-click and select save link (or whatever else, depending on your browser) from the context menu.

And yes, he's using webp compression for the pictures now, apparently it's supported by Renpy and the format supports both transparency (like png) and lossy compression (like jpg), so it's a perfect replacement for png and jpg. A really great find that other devs should start to use, too, IMHO.

Alternatively, read the file traceback.txt in the game folder, open the affected script file in Notepad++ and fix it yersen, piece of piss, innit?

Open day8.rpy and scroll down to line 1058. You'll notice the rest of the things Kell says are prefixed by k, Kell's thoughts are kt, ka is a mistake. Delete the a leaving it as

I forgot to add - a simple spell check will solve the dissolve errors, ffs. If you are gonna rip off the devs by only offering a like, at least be grateful and learn to fix simple errors. They're not game breakers.

I'm sticking to the F&D path and keeping Chris faithful as the Gym guy looks and sounds like a rapey-douche-bag. I've not looked at the path but forced oral, anal and choking will likely feature in his repertoire. What a guy!

There is no day8.rpy, there is a day8.rpy~ so you could edit that and rename it as I did but I'm sure there a more than a few who would find it easier to just dl the file I attached above and remove the .txt extension.

so, from a game (Dreaming of Dana) that actually had some interactions, where you actually played a game, he went to a full VN, a CTRL fest. Good job, @Ptolemy.

You still make choices and it is a fairly new game. It's only 0.35. Still early days. Let's see how it pans out, eh?

He's not trying, if he did try i think he'd already sucseeded :) And i won't call Kelly a whore, she's just a young & hot woman with a lot of possibilities, and she knew about this ;) Also it's not like F & D control those feelings towards each other :)
For me it's just that you didnt't get what you've expected from this game, but this is a problem of wrong expectations to me, not a problem of the game. It's not like this game turns 180 degree in it's path like it was with Dana...
Well, I didn't say she is a whore but a slut and I'm talking about a very specific route, timid wife+bold dad+bold daughter. I don't know how would you call a girl that watches topless her father masturbating and then proceeds to masturbate with him and after that gets angry because she finds out that his wife loves him and is faithful to him. Ok, I get the "can't control the feelings" point but Ptolemy goes all the way to introduce the excuse of the Electra complex in the storyline and this isn't how it works. Most girls have an (almost sexual) affection for their fathers but they don't go jumping on them especially when the father is having a relationship that kinda works. There is a reason why most of the games with incest content introduce a very unlikeable character (like the mother in DMD) or a very dead character (like in most m/s stories), you want to have a justification for the actions happening. As I said before these are not very important in porn games, I sometimes follow games that make no sense because of the art, but if you're making a story based game you have to pay attention to these details. Anyway, what I'm saying is that if you have a story in mind and a route you're providing is nonsensical just don't provide it, give me a (happy end) game over and proceed with the porn stuff you have in mind.

I honestly don't know what has happened to this site.

When I first came here, yes the people were pirates, but they were also pleasant, and gave constructive criticism. But Irredeemable is right. This shit has turned more toxic than 4chan. Maybe I should of taken the hint when Morph, and Spooky left.
Anyway, I'm out.
Best of luck.

If you don't like it, don't play it, and don't bitch at the dev who showed great patience. Too late for Ptolemy if he really has done one, but at this rate, they're not the first and won't be the last to lose faith in F95. I've only been around since June last year and I mainly lurk, for a reason: I get enough grief IRL, online drama I can live without :p

It's unavoidable unfortunately, the more f95zone become popular the more toxic it will be. I can see that Mods are currently keeping it as clean as possible, hope they can keep up.

Idiots are everywhere. It requires wise insight not be affected by them. And if one can not bear it, that is human as well. I think there are many lurker/non-lurker who appreciate the works of devs who produce quality work. Ptolemy is one of the few devs ho does a great job and shows a good example. Of course he has all rights to abandon this community.

@ptomely, Well, instead of packing of your toys and leave, perhaps it would be better to listen to criticism.
If people waste minutes of their life to give you some input, even if it's good or bad, I think you should listen to them.
You might get some great ideas out if it, which, if you think about it, would help YOU mostly, like, you know, getting more money.

So, if you're interested, here's my 2 cents:

I played Dana for a long time, the first versions. It was great, you were involved in the game, choosing things left and right. Then it kinda grew too big and the story lost the interest, but that's not your fault. It was an OK game, kinda needs to stop now if it didn't already. The main replayability factor was because of the player involvement.
And yes, I kinda replayed from from the beginning quite a few times, when a new version came out.
That's a successful game, wouldn't you agree ?
Just like the games on the Popular Area, all are quite interactive.

Now, the other side of the coin or better said, of the Ren'py games. There are other games, much like what you're doing now with Intimate Relations, that are just play VNs. That means the user interactions kinda reduce to pressing SPACE, CTRL or rarely an option on screen. There are some minor stats that might or might not matter. Yeah, it's v0.35 and they might matter more 1 year later, but really, you can't compare a few options with what you're doing in games like Summertime Saga and others.
This pure VNs are mostly done by beginners, because it's obviously easier then building an entire game with a lot of interactions. And this is not something that we'd expect as a continuation from Dreaming of Dana.
At most, it's a step back, to be gentle.

I played IR a few month before and decided to give the new build another chance. Do you want to know how much it take for me to finish it (and delete it) ? 5-10 minutes. And I got bored out of my skull.
At some point I just kept the CTRL pressed. The story was boring, the images were dull and the immersion in the game is non-existent. Replayability factor is zero.
If I were a Patron, I'd quit instantly after seeing this game.

I'm not saying this to be toxic, but as a wake-up call to you, if you care to listen and make something worthwhile.
And then, maybe you'd have a hell lot of more Patreons.

Dreaming of Dana was (quite) good. Intimate Relations is just bad by comparisson. v3 of Dana had infinite more actions by the player than this slideshow.

Dreaming of Dana is in the Popular section. This game, with this style of "gameplay" will never make it there if you don't do something radical about it.

Sorry to hear that...

I think there are still good reasons to stay on this site. At least you'll get free advertisment and possibly also some good ideas. But yes, there are people here who may rub you the wrong way, just like everywhere else on the internet and IRL for that matter... Still it's your choice, but I for one am sorry that you feel that way.

Best of luck with your games!

That's one way of looking at it. On the other hand, a WELL WRITTEN VN can also be very enjoyable.

Personally I like this game very much, probably more than Dreaming of Dana, because I can relate more to the setting and the MC. You can feel the tension between the MC and D.

And in terms of replayability, you can try to keep the wife on board or let het go into slut mode. Both paths should give some fun in further updates.
