Is this implemented all the way back to the first gallery entry? That'd make it worth going back and unlocking them all again.

Yeah, basically the old bits are now parallel. If it doesn't find a save, it looks at your persistent file to see if it was flagged unlocked and gives you the old version, but the saves are leading, it it finds that it will load that first.

And back to the main menu and hitting Start... Thanks!

I didn't expect the x32 executable

, I can play this chapter in my old devoted PC with his W10 x32 OS.

Thanks a lot, dude.

Penultimateanon · Aug 11, 2023

Oh shit. I wasn't expecting this.

Could it be that the Android version just needs to be re-compiled? Sometimes things can get corrupted during a compile or build. It happens frequently to Microsoft as well as several distros of linux.

Just an idea for consideration.

10k images? wtf

hirakoshinji2 · Aug 11, 2023

An update? Is it true?

Marvelous Chris · Aug 11, 2023

an update to this?! holy cannoli this is best news i got today!

SilentMobius · Aug 11, 2023

Wow, that was beautifully put together, really, really hot. I was constantly worried that the update would just end on a "cliffhanger" but no, really satisfying chapter. Use of music and sound is top notch as it always has been, framing and lighting... just AAA tier, and just the little details on the posing of body parts *chefs kiss*, there isn't a single part that feels "stock" or "generic" it has a louche, warm, sexy feeling that carries through every part.

I wishlisted on steam but I'm reluctant to buy on something so public (as common as the topic is here and as well done as it is, it's still a problem in many ways) naughtyroad for a one off donation, which of the payment routes gets you the best/most useful return?

Cesco · Aug 11, 2023

Welcome back paisan, it's been a dog's age

SonnyPantony · Aug 11, 2023

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! So excited.
I literally have to work all weekend and leave on Vacation Sunday morning. This will be the ultimate tease having to wait a week to play knowing it is waiting on me!!!

Ok, so remembered correctly. Thanks.

And rule of thumb is to never use the -32 exe. Unless you have an early 2000s computer that somehow can run these games, which I doubt exists. Only reason there even is a 32bit exe is because RenPy generates one by default.

naughtyroad said:
Hmm, thanks for that info. I'm gonna try and a fix that in the next update and remove that exe so no one makes that mistake.

Well, as you can see, some people are still pushing 32-bit versions of Windows, although their hardware supports 64-bit without a doubt. If the computer has only 4GB of RAM, then running 64-bit Windows can actually be counterproductive, since 64-bit software generally uses more memory (using 64-bit addressing instead of 32-bit).

Obviously, it'd be great if the owners of those old computers would stick some more RAM into their machines, but some notebooks may not even have that option (soldered onboard RAM modules or a single SODIMM socket) and finding working SODIMM's for a notebook can also be quite tricky, not to mention - relatively expensive per GB, compared to the cheap new SODIMM's.
So maybe you should still wait a couple of years with the removal of the 32-bit executable?

Oh, and congrats withe the release of the new version of your game, naughty!

I really can't recommend it. I tried it because everybody here was praising it to high heaven and beyond, but to be honest, the story is mediocre often times boring and pretty pretentious. The Models are atrocious and a certified boner killer. But who am I to judge, there is LotR Gollum porn out there, so there is an audience for whatever these models are. I lurked into this forum again after the update, just for morbid curiosity. Because I liked to grasp the mindset of the fans of this game. Hey, maybe I am wrong and this game is for you, but in my experience this is a real hit or miss. Either you love or you hate it.

Time again to let people know that their "pretentious" longform "I don't like it, so you shouldn't either" doesn't count as an actual review or basis for recommendation.

The game's well-written, it's not earth shatteringly so and it's not going to revolutionize the literary landscape. It does, if you enjoy narrative-driven experiences, hold the attention. The main girls are memorable, with their writing and development handled with obvious care. They're equal parts charming, impish, ferocious and vulnerable. The male lead is mostly a throwaway. Could easily have replaced him with one of those faceless H-Game silhouette males and the game would chug on just the same. He's the protagonist, but not the star, imo. The side characters feel like they're in as gags or distractions, and frankly, with some of the topics touched upon in the game, some people might find the diversions welcome.

It is not a wham-bam, thank you ma'am, sort of game. It's probably 60% narrative, 30% character development and 10% "action". if that's not for you, then yeah, as AvasNem said, it can be sort of boring.

As far as the models go... entirely subjective. If you can't get past how they look in the previews, they're not going to change in the full game. There's plenty of places in the adult gaming world that cater to people who like big-breasted ayaya waifus and button-nosed Barbies. Ipersonallylikethemall. Knowing various women in the real world who can trace their origins to various parts of the Mediterranean, these types of faces are familiar to me, minus some of the artistic exaggeration, of course.

So the answer to "Is it *that* good?" is... probably not, but it *is* good and it *is* worth trying to see how you feel about it.

I liked them because they look more 'real'. Most people are not perfect models, and I like realistic content. Why I guess I like homemade porn videos too, over production

10,000?! That would take every other dev like 10+ years, holy shit
