Its been awhile and I had a clearout to save space a while back forgot to save the save files
Thank you.

Very nice update but hopefully you can get rid of some side characters. If you don't interact with them.

So I've finally had the chance to play this update, my verdict is: mixed feelings.

It's good that the relationship between M and D has finally developed to the best possible outcome (I guess?), but this update was pretty much that, nothing much else. I'm not very fond of reading filler dialogues and basic small chat in games as they bring very little to the story and immersion for me personally, and this update was packed to the brim with that, mainly during the Ferris wheel and the cooking scenes. I really don't want to sound too harsh, but I got bored multiple times between the endless (and sometimes even cringe-worthy) chit-chat segments.

The sex scenes were great, I liked them, but even there the amount of dialogue was at times off the charts for me. It personally felt like most of the talking was forced and kinda distracting from the actual scene at times, dragging them over for much more than needed.

It's sad that none of the office girls received actual content in this update, besides playing a secondary role for the sake of the story.

I'm probably in the minority but I can't rate this update higher than 6.5/10.

what is up with this latest thing with some games, all my saves are suddenly dated today, this is highly annoying and makes it hard to figure out which save was the last save from the version before.

 

[Penfold Mole]

I was playing the 32 bits version and... for me, everything was going well until the end of the first major sex scene of the last chapter, then I had a lot of issues/crashes, not always the same (Exceptions: error(u'Failed to decode WEBP',) & error(u'Failed to allocate SDL_Surface',), Out of memory,...) or in the same point, but in the same "area" and I can’t go much further.

Since Windows 10 should be able to decode webp (you did mention having Windows 10 32-bit?), I'd say this is a general running out of memory problem. Have you closed all other apps running in the background, especially any browsers?
In case you have, then the 4GB address space of the 32-bit Windows is probably just not enough to run both, Windows 10 and a modern Ren'Py game with FullHD webp videos simultaneously.
I mean, I have been running Ren'Py games on a 15 year old PC with 8GB of RAM and a 10 year old graphics card and I still have to shut down other programs quite often to be able to run them. Although 32-bit software uses less RAM, I can't really imagine running Windows 10 and anything useful on it, having just 4GB of RAM + VRAM combined (mostly because I've been too lazy to build a new PC)

You know, you could just install Windows 10 64-bit using exactly the same licence key? The only thing you need is more RAM.
You could even get 4GB DDR2 or DDR3 RAM modules for free these days, if you know someone who has some old hardware lying around.
It seems that even brand new (or rather, unused) 4GB DDR2 costs around 30€ in the store, 4GB DDR3 less than 15€ and 8GB around 20€ (assuming you agree to wait a couple of weeks for the delivery).
I guess the prices of old types of RAM have finally dropped lower than I expected.

THANK YOU FOR THIS.
Hopefully it will all others asking for them.

None whatsoever. In fact, going for the full house gives some fun new twists to dialog and encounters, and I personally think it's more fun that way. So I heartily recommend going after everyone, everywhere, all at once.

That sounds like a porn parody title.

Any idea why my mac would be unable to run this with 1.2 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core m3, Intel HD Graphics 615 1536 MB, and 8 GB memory? Last update ran just fine, this one fails to start, just Application Failed to Respond whenever I try to open it.

I kinda wanna do a multiverse take on an adult VN now.

 

[Dragon59]

I think alot of us thought the same in the beginning, i know i did, give it a try and im pretty sure you will quickly add this to you top tier games! Its really unlike any other other on F95!

In my case, it was their uncommon (in this media) looks that inspired me to try it. The idea that if the developer put so much work in giving them unique, non-northern European faces, it was probably worth trying.

One thing I thought about yesterday was time travel. If the protagonist goes back in time and changes something, what are the chances that that alternative protagonist went back in time too. In all likelihood, that timeline's version would still be there.

AWKWARD!

Your Mac's integrated graphics can't handle the newer Ren'py version most likely.

actually you would return to the altered time line and be unable to go back to the original timeline. a multitude of time lines exist but they can never touch each other, the whole paradox theory is bs as you could never run into yourself only an alternate you.. but imagine if you went back in time and met and had sex with a woman who would end up being your grandmother. uf she got pregnant from that union, you'd become your own grandpa!

Is there any Brooke content this update?

 

[Buffythevampireslayer]

Attempted to run it from last update.... crashed with 'exceptional error' . Then tried to run it from a previous save. It gives me the crash right after the girls buzz the ship and gives me the 'exceptional error' and just kicked me out .

Quoting the exact error helps. There's even a copy button on that screen for your convenience.

Hi PM, and first of all thank you for your advice and concern.
Yeah, when the first issues appeared I tried to play without nothing more running or even a reboot of my PC, tried the compressed version and the regular one and obtained the same results.
I have 4GB of RAM, as you thought, and I also think is the main problem of this. But it’s strange that I was able to play for quite some time until the problem appeared, in seemingly the same conditions.

"(mostly because I've been too lazy to build a new PC)"

I know the feeling. Mostly because there are not many things I can't do with it, for now. And lack of financial resources to assemble a decent one, too, of course.
I think I need more RAM, anyway, because sometimes I notice how it suffers, especially when it has not been restarted for a long time.

Is there any Brooke content this update?

I am playing through with the MC and his daughters/Brooke as love interest, so far NO Brooke content in chapter 7. Only interaction with Brooke in Chapter 7 are just the MC and Brooke texting each other while he's at work.
There's another path where you choose Brooke/three Co-workers Sara,Sierra, and Zarah path I think it's called caretaker path where you didn't have any sexual interaction with the main protagonist and his daughters, so I'm not sure if there are any new scenes with Brooke in chapter 7 or not with that path.
