Lol every time i buy and share an update with yours, you all thanks Bob69. Now i understand why nobody share update in this forum, from now don't count on me anymore goodbye.

Well, thanks. I admit I usually don't think about where the games come from, it's no disrespect, just being thoughtless.
Anyway, don't think your part in this isn't appreciated, but I do understand that it's nice to actually see it expressed sometimes.

FFS, as if the poor execution of a topic as hard as rape wasn't enough, both in the NTResque scenario with the stripper LI and the mom backstory being downplayed/joked about, now we have the MC suggest the sister becomes a stripper, after getting kidnaped for being incredibly naive :FacePalm:

There is porn logic and there is no logic at all. Common sense has left the building.

Edit: I was promised later seasons get better, idk about VN mode, but sandbox is still full of inconsistencies. You meet Ashley first time in the coffee shop, but can't interact with her, because the game needs you to go in the morning to her room at the Hotel. Why show her in the coffee shop in the first place? :WaitWhat:

I guess by S5 this game will get its shit together...

Edit2:

It gets better and better :HideThePain: I don't want to make accusations, but it seems rape isn't that big of a deal for this dev/studio.

It's always a good idea to look at the tags for a game when deciding whether or not to play it... If, while playing an AVN or sandbox, you encounter content you find distasteful and the category of that content is listed in the game's tags, that's on you.

With regard to the "sleep sex" tag: First, IMO it would be more accurately labeled as "sleep molestation" in this game, as there is no penis-penetrating-vagina/anus coital sex that occurs during the "sleep sex"; it is generally groping coupled with masterbating and then cumming on various parts of the "victim's" body. I suspect that the "rape" tag is due to this being non-consensual, as I am not aware of any other rape content that occurs in the game. The mini-monologue in NebulousShooter's "Edit2" image is a case of the MC talking dirty (to himself) rather than a statement of intent to have vaginal or anal sex with Samantha while she sleeps. It should also be noted that the "sleep sex" content is COMPLETELY optional, and in no way affects the MC's relationships with any of the LIs, or any other elements of gameplay.

MarsUltor alright, I get that. But I'm curious about the other things the other commenter talked about and the writing in general.

Ofc one should watch the tags but as you aptly pointed out, just a tag can be not enough to assess the content.

Weekly DevBlog update 01/23

Dear Witches & Wizards! Welcome to our weekly DevUpdate!
But first, here's a little dad joke approved by fisherman Jimmy from Dale:
A mermaid is half-cute
...
The other half is just some lady.


As always, a joke is best accompanied by a list of things done for the next release, so here it is:
  • Finished 77 renders with Kayla, Samantha, Ahchi and Ashley for version 3.7.1
  • Retouched 74 renders to maximize their magical atmosphere
  • Finished 2 amazing 60fps animations for version 3.7.1
  • Finished planning the main storyline for version 3.8.1
  • Finished planning Haley's storyline for version 3.8.1
That's it for today! Stay tuned for more information, and have a great week!
Sincerely,
Bear in the Night team.

I agree that tags are not a perfect reflection of game content, but they are generally an pretty good indicator. I should also note that I was not being accusatory with my "...that's on you" comment, but it was more of an emphasis on the need to do one's homework when choosing games, and on managing one's expectations regarding games we choose.

With regard to game dialogue, there has been a fair amount of criticism of Lust Academy's dialogue quality. IMO the dialogue quality isn't great, but it isn't the worst I've seen, either. Its quality varies throughout the game; you can go through a stretch of dialogue that's fine, then come to one or more lines that are awkward, or cringy, or don't quite make sense. There's definitely a bit of an "English from Google Translate" vibe to some of it. To be fair, writing fluid conversational English dialogue with unique nuanced "voices" for different characters is a specialized and relatively rare skillset, even for native English-speakers (and there is obviously a difference between British English and American English), and is potentially even more challenging for non-native English speakers. Honestly, only a small number of the games I've played here have had especially good dialogue, so I value it when I encounter it, but I also tend to overlook dialogue deficiencies if a game has enough other desirable attributes.

You need to EXPORT (or better "transfer") a game from S1 to S2 using the function on the save screen. Then in S2 you start a new game using the save game it detects when doing so. Same from S2 to S3.

Be aware that this only works in sandbox mode and will transfer only your stats and inventory.

For Season 1, I'm missing a single gallery scene - the first scene in the second row on page 2. Can anyone clue me in on where to look for it? I have no doubt the answer has already been posted on here somewhere, but haven't had any luck with searches.

I just started playing this, but almost done with season 1. What is the ingredients for the fifth potion? It hasn't given me the ability to learn it, and everything I try fails. So, can someone tell me what to put in the cauldron to make it appear? Thanks!

I had no problem transfering from s1 to s2, but I'm not getting the banner to transfer from s2 to s3, do you know anything that may be causing this?

Not really, maybe you don't have the latest version?
Check the checklog on page 1 when it was introduced.

It does not give me the option to pick anything in season 1. Does that not happen until season 2 or something?

Like I said, it's only on certain nights. I believe there's also an event linked to them starting to spawn. I'm afraid I can't remember exactly what that event is or what the trigger is though, it's been a very long time, sorry.

The potion itself is linked to Audrey though. Have you progressed with her as much as possible?
