So I know how to go to your StepMom room at night but how do you go to Alice room at night ?

All good man, it's always nice to have some fresh feedback.
I can't give spoilers but half of your requests were implemented in the v0.4, so I hope you'll enjoy the game even more during your next session (it should be released in a day or two)

Hey bro, I have a suggestion for you, this is a follow-up of my previous comment as well, I think this will appease more people and not sacrifice your vision for the game as well.

Personally I really don't like lesbian scenes and consider another LI fucking another LI to be NTR but I understand other people have different opinions on the matter. If you really want to put that lesbian scene in the game, please consider keeping it optional. One idea would be during the lesbian scene, you can have a button that says (LESBIAN) and another that isn't a lesbian option. The non lesbian option could be the other LI just watching and fingering herself for example.

Anyway hope you don't take my suggestion the wrong way, just was looking forward to having a sandbox game with all scenes being repeatable. This way also you won't lose any supporters who don't like lesbian scenes.

I don't really need a faster grind because I have insane stamina and control so it doesn't matter for me how much stuff there is to do in between scenes, but for those that fap quick or just want to play through the game without taking a hour or more, maybe add an option where you progress faster. Some of the grind has the effect of feeling a sort of accomplishment so its best to not force the change but let people choose it on their own to yank one off in their own pace.

I'm trying a new grinding logic for the v0.4. If it feels too rushed we'll go back to the current one.

Hey man, I was just projecting myself into the future, and it would have had the skip feature exactly like the femdom scene with Laura, but I gave up with that idea for the moment anyway.

Life's Payback - v0.4 (public leak and changelog)

Hey guys, I've almost hit the 30th subscriber, this is great !
As a sign of my gratitude, I'm leaking the game for everybody the same day than the members ONE LAST TIME !
I really want them to enjoy their early access advantage, so the tier benefits are finally starting for v0.5
This is my biggest update so far. Not gonna lie, with the work I've put into it, I hope to hit the 70th patreon member with that version.
This may sound a little overestimated, but it doesn't hurt to dream a little.

Anyway, here is the changelog and the links

Patreon/Subscribestar poll winner :
- Elise doggystyle

Intro :
- Reworked the intro a bit to give more context to the game
- Reworked the tutorial to explain the new navigation system

Grinding :
- The grinding has been reduced for all characters. The amount of influence points required to unlock scenes now follows this logic :
4/8/12/16/20/24/28
instead of
5/10/15/20/30/40/55
Hoping it does not feel too rushed to unlock scenes for the new players...

New Character : ???
- 4 new animated scenes

Nina :
- 2 new animated scenes
- You can now pick her name if you don't like "Nina"
- It's no longer necessary to talk to her at school before you can start her quest in the evening

Lucie :
- 2 new animated scenes
- Deleted the character's model and replaced it with another one for style, and body diversity purpose.

Mathilde :
- 3 new animated scenes
- Deleted the afternoon school blowjob and replaced it with another animation, for story purpose

Elise :
- 1 new animated scene

Alice :
- Fixed a typo in Alice's quests and schedule ("morkning" instead of "morning").
- Changed the dialogue and the requirements of the morning ass teasing so it's doable in the weekend and not only when there's class

Anna :
- Fixed a bug where you could play a night scene way sooner than intended. No one told me about it, you little rascals.

Shop :
- 2 new items
- Deleted the single bottle of wine item so you just need to buy the pack for Anna's night scenes.
- Reduced the price of the cat costume and the metal collar so you can start Nina's questline earlier in the game
- Working in the morning during the weekend grants you an extra 50, so you earn 200 instead of 150

Miscellaneous :
- 3 new locations
- Added a new music in the random tracks playing at the begining of each day.
- Changed the main menu background to keep only the main characters, otherwise it would be Bangladesh if I tried to fit them all
- Added a ambiance sound in the main menu and forgot to mention it in the v0.3.2 changelog (you might recognize where the sound comes from)

User Interface
- Removed the map icon. Now put the cursor at the bottom of your screen to show the navigation, and put the cursor at the middle of your screen to hide the navigation.

Known issues :
- The map is still displaying certain characters at specific locations during the weekend whereas they're not there (The school for example).
That's because there isn't any activity that you can only do during the weekend yet, so I haven't modified the schedule system

PC/Linux :
