That's like 2016 VN game design, repeating the same event with extra renders

Poor gameplay, mindless clicking here and there and you can only hope that those chain of clicking made you progress the story.
This seems like one of those "Just wait for the galley mod" games
Wow! Incredible!! I just downloaded the game and do you already have your gameplay ready!!??
Thank you very, very, very much!!!!
the quick rundown is: progression is janky and difficult to find out what's going wrong (buggy, or not enough in game guidance) without sifting through someone else's game play logs or looking through the code, long ass grind with stats that degrade, the best characters are side characters, plot has barely moved in years, sandbox is mostly limited to just a house, dialogue is ass
the pros are the renders and scenes are pretty nice
So far i got everything except Nadia (Ashley?) visiting Melinda and thinking about working for her.

Oh, fuck this, I just saw in comments its a GRIND FEST CRAP !! Most shitty way and mechanics in RenPy games.
This will go to ignore list faster than my cum load.

If the characters interest you, my recommendation is to download the compressed version and check out the pics in the /images sub-folder. I suppose you could wait for someone to post up a more recent save and check out the gallery, but if I remember correctly 'gallery' is mainly reserved for higher tier Patreon customers, so a 'gallery mod' might be required to view the most recent renders.
Not 100% sure on this, mainly I just use the Ren'Py console (yay Unren.bat!) to access various scenes directly, as trying to figure out when a specific set of images might be invoked 'ingame' can be very annoying. 'Researching' the variable triggers for various scenes is also annoying, but at least for me less annoying than the grind... But yeah, the 'gallery' feature with a 'full save' is probably the best way to view the animations while avoiding the grind to get there...
The images in this game are actually pretty good, and SNC puts a lot of work into the various animations and such, it's just too bad that the 'sandbox grind' gets in the way of enjoying the associated story. A few people actually like the grind, but a major reason why this game is downvoted so strongly is BECAUSE of the excessive grind.
I also suspect that a lot of people are just here for Melinda's antics anyways, and for them, Jen just 'gets in the way', pussy blocking more Melinda scenes. Personally, I actually prefer Jen and Cheryl over Melinda, but still enjoy the Melinda + MC scenes. Which is why I bother occasionally with fanart for this game (see FotM fanart thread) and why I took stabs at dialing in a few of the characters in Daz Studio.
Also, Melinda's progression from where the story leaves off in FotM, to essentially becoming a pimp in JD, just seems sudden and isn't really explained to any degree. Unless I missed something...
Anyways, yeah, the renders are worth checking out at least, but by all means, feel free to avoid the grind if that doesn't interest you. Don't worry about the story, it's mainly just an (rather poorly executed according to 'popular opinion') excuse for all of the sex.

I don't get it if i don't save in 0.23 and use that save after this decision in 0.24 i won't get ashley going to melinda scene? I got all other scenes from 0.24 pretty quickly thanks to your guide.

If you complete ALL events in V23 you will end up with "snameworkmelinda == 2".
BUT you NEED to have "snameworkmelinda ==1" at the start of V24
because the event that would have changed it from 2 to 3 has been removed from the game.
In V24 the events that would have given you "Snameworkmelinda==2" ( in V23)
will now give "snameworkmelinda ==3" which you need for Naida to visit Melinda,
This is the reason that I had to replay the last day in V23 to end up with the correct points for V24,

You have a gallery mod at the top op made by meIf the characters interest you, my recommendation is to download the compressed version and check out the pics in the /images sub-folder.
