No offense, but this seems to be broken beyond use. Whenever I use a canister in the Lustful Ivy quest it breaks and makes me repeat it-- with the Herbicide, she tells me to enter the barn for a reward, then it resets once I enter. If I use the Plant Growth formula, it eats the formula, makes me shoot it, then resets but won't let me get more formula.

Also, the movement prompts could use a bit of an increase in visibility and maybe hitbox; there were a couple times where it took me a while to find out how to exit a room.

Furthermore, the skip function appears to break horribly when an option comes up, and loops through the first option uncontrollably.

Thank you for your feedback. We are aware of some bugs (there is a list of known bugs in the Patreon post) and broken skip is the main one. Inability to pass the Weed Control quest might be part of this bug. To avoid it, try starting a new game and completing the quest again without using a skip. We are already working on a fix, the free update 0.2.0d will appear very soon, and the skip will be completely fixed in version 0.3.0. We are also already working on improving navigation and making control hints clearer.

Press SHIFT if you feel stuck, this will highlight active objects.

No offense but, voiced western porn games are still in the gimmick phase and it takes time that could be spent developing the game.

Edit: Found something already, no idea if it was fixed later on

Also as mentioned before, the cues to where you can go should probably be a tad more obvious/visible since it can get annoying to slowly move the pointer around waiting for it to change, if i move it too fast it doesn't show anything.

Voice acting in western porn games can be good if done professionally. Unfortunately, now we do not have extra money for this, so we made it ourselves from free assets "as is". This part of the game will be improved in the future, but for now you can simply turn off the sounds.

This bug has not been fixed yet, but we know about it, just now we were busy with more critical bugs. We will definitely fix it a little later.

Yes, we are already working on improving navigation.

The game seems to have a memory leak that shows either after playing a while or by reloading a save to get a different outcome one too many times.

Reminds me of Cloud Meadow before tiny hat helped team nimbus in optimizing the game

Seems like the game can't keep track of the dialogue, in a brief instance i had the option to talk to the sherif about the "fighting weed" and the "Farm on fire" at the same time and even clicking/pressing enter too fast can confuse the game as much as with using skip.

Yes, a quick click can cause the same bug as a skip. This happens because the engine does not have time to process the command to go to the required label and instead executes the next line in the script. We are aware of this problem, but we will be able to fully fix it only in version 0.3.0
We'll also check for memory leaks, thanks for your report.

Any character customization?

Not yet. We have a Patreon Goal for an alternate race of the Main Character, but at the current stage of development, we do not have enough budget for this.

Okay, then I'll just wait.

So... Gamebreaking problem in 2.0, won't be fixed until 3.0?

Edit/P.S.: It might be a good idea to learn how to properly package a file. A few games on this site never package their games within a folder before zipping them so they just scatter all over my H-Game folder when I open them.

Edit 2: Also, consider going back to the previous system-- Ren'Py if memory serves-- Unity is a clunky system for stuff like this. It's generally easier to figure out how to work with Ren'Py then creating a Ren'Py style structure in Unity. It's why all these messy glitches have sprung up, and you'll likely end up creating more the more you try to fix it.

We've made some improvements, we'll see if that helps. Patches 0.2.0d and 0.2.1a are already uploading now. If these fixes do not help, the larger changes will take time to at least 0.2.2. I say 0.3.0 just in case, because I don't know exactly how long it will take.

Files were packed correctly before, this is also a bug in recent releases. Usually I make releases deep at night after work and all other things, at such a time I no longer have the strength to think about how the files are packed.

We considered all the Engines before deciding to change, and for us Unity turned out to be the best option for various reasons. All of these bugs will be fixed over time, especially if we have the budget to make game development our main job.

I have to guess that the switch to Unity happened to make it look more appealing through QoL features, like the animated portraits in the shuttle instead of static ones, another VN called Pony Waifu Sim also switched to Unity, but it was to force mini-games into the VN, the thing is, Unity is a double-edged sword, how well the engine runs depends on the capacity of the developers A.K.A. the RAM usage and if it have a memory leak or not like a Unity 2D game i played about a ninja fighting the same enemy over and over, at first the game didn't went past 100mb of RAM, after a while it went past 2GB of RAM

That isn't QoL. QoL is what Unity VNs usually lack compared to Renpy, which is extremely mature and full-featured. Unity VNs usually have worse save features, text speed options, auto-forward options, history, etc. compared to Renpy.

What i was trying to point out was that devs jumping form Renpy to Unity is done for the sake of gimmicks.
