The game has plenty of potential and I really liked it before. But I absolutely hate how the skipping is locked and there seems to be no way to unlock it through the variables either. What a dick move.
and disabling skip is truly an asshole move. Just why, seriously dev, give me one good reason.
I think they locked the skip button because of all the motion scenes and "interactivity" at various points. I can't think of any other reasonable explanation (it wouldn't make sense to paywall it). Some players just plow through everything for the sex scenes so they would therefore not notice things (you CAN skip anything you've seen before).It's really so dumb, I was hitting Enter and clicking the mouse both, to just get forward on some boring parts, but I'm not going to do that for half an hour or so. Just uninstalled the game minutes after downloading, not worth even for free to play something like that.
One could also look at it from a slightly different angle. Renpy team worked hard to implement in an open fashion a "skip text" function into their engine that provides value to players who wish to use it. Dev worked hard to... undo all of that? To implement a design that is actively user hostile?I truly appreciate the tremendous effort @Lexie lecoeur has invested in this game. Customizing RPA for JAS is no small task.
With this last move into censorship, you crossed the line.I’m going to add something that matters to me, and then you’re free to keep bashing the game or the way I do things.
But know this — this version is the Steam version, intended for the Steam audience, most of whom didn’t know me and hadn’t discovered JASON yet.
I don’t know who uploaded this version here — it wasn’t me.
Just like I wasn’t the one who added the “Complete” tag — but I’m the one who removed it.
I’m not stupid; I know which version was here before, I know exactly where I had stopped, and I had planned — as I’ve always done — to provide you with a compatible version at the right time.
But as usual, steps were skipped, people complained, and criticism started flying.
No one asks any questions.
Hey, I delete an NTSF_pack.jas file and suddenly the game runs without the videos… how strange! “The dev must be an idiot,” right?
Maybe the dev actually planned the code to run both with and without the AI animations?
Maybe he had a version without the cartoon posters that Steam forced me to include?
Maybe he was planning to make the game freely available?
But no one bothers to ask.
Yet when it comes to jumping on me and throwing insults, no problem!
Go ahead and keep defending your own little patch of ground — you’re right to.
As for me, I’m defending mine.

Having the same problem, cant load any saveanybody now why you cant load any saves up? (no this is not an old save)
The game has gone through a big overhaul. There are too many changes and we can't use save files from the last update. We have to restart.Having the same problem, cant load any save
It's "new" saves files from the steam version which don't load.The game has gone through a big overhaul. There are too many changes and we can't use save files from the last update. We have to restart.
