Nefastus, Freelance Programmer here. That profession should work out fine. Haven't seen my family since easter, since I mostly work nights (can't put the customers shop into maintenance-mode in the middle of the day) or get shitty deadlines trown my way :(

Version .29 Changelog...ish.
So I am sure I still suck at these, but there was some misunderstanding of my release posts so I feel like I need to get back to doing these every month. Been a LONG struggle with the editing, but the update is uploading. Depends on ISP now, but usually speeds pick up a bit later in the day so hopeful it won't be too long.
Main changes this version are there are some really long nice scenes. Nice as in...action oriented. One of them....well even if it sounds like something you may not be into, at least give a few screens of it a go. It's unusual and I think it's very hot. The other's may be fairly straight forward in terms of circumstance, but very nice none the less. Especially if you consider a little subtext for those of you who actively read the story and don't just skip to the good bits lmao.
That out of the way, it's been awesome not reporting to work. I am 98% sure from here on out I will be back to the release every month to month and a half schedule, with that being based on what content is in each update. For those of you who made it all the way down to the bottom of this post...I need a "job" that I can tell people I am doing. Something I don't really have to report to, can do at home, but could take up most the day so I have a reason telling family/friends to not pop over unannounced that doesn't make me look like the asshole I actually am. Something that ISN'T hey I am making a game or anything they may think they can support/be a part of. Any suggestions? I was thinking freelance programming and just being vague on what project(s) I am currently on.
In this case Covid was your best friend. An ever growing percentage of the IT world has no office and people work from home 100% of the time. This applies to contractors and consultants as well. Tell them you've got a gig consulting to a startup company working from home and that your NDA requires you to work in isolation. Early startups often choose to remain unidentified until "launch", so not naming them wouldn't be uncommon nor would you be allowed to talk about their product(s).

Question: Are you finally able to get rid of Sandra (Divorce / break up in whatever way)? If not yet: When will this be possible?

Answer: No.

Follow up: Why would you want to get rid of her? She's got a couple great scenes (so far) with the MC and: 1) Hailey, 2) Sarah, and 3) Angela.
Well bummer. Still, thank you for your time :)

Follow up Answer: Because the way it is written: There is not much love left between MC and Wife. Also the MC hinted that in case a Divorce comes up, he want to make sure the Company is safe(ly in is hands). You also can choose in the very beginning if you have still romantic Feelings for your Wife or not. Although, I am not sure if the latter one is only available in the Mod to be honest.

No worries.

To play devil's advocate: But the question should then be asked - why isn't there much love left? The situation between the MC and Sandra is the inciting incident which causes the MC to reevaluate his life and his relationships - pushing him towards the midlife crisis. This would include the one with his wife. She's not cheating on him, but he's out banging a call girl. It is apparent Sandra can be playful when the MC decides he should be a bit more cordial with her. In fact, even if you have the MC make a choice against being interested in remaining with Sandra, she somehow finds her way back in the storyline - and very open to many new experiences without much influence needed.

Perhaps that's part of the journey of the MC through his midlife crisis. To realize he's the asshole who's been fucking up their marriage all these years. And, as a result, on the road to having his cake and eat it too.

Absolutely Agree. But, that you do not have the choice to divorce her, despite being given some very direct hints very early on, makes it unfortunately one of those VN (IMHO), where it feels, that the Author gives you a false sense of "you have a choice".

Maybe it is part of the Story and I just hoped for too much.

Nefastus, I've had an actual job working at home for a company where we communicated by internet and phone most of the time. I was helping with some language editing and light clerical stuff over emails to help them get a few things going like manuals and shit. It could be a company that deals with visual novels and you help with the art? If it's as close to the truth as possible, there's less explaining to do down the road.
I can see this: "I didn't mention the adult part cuz it really wasn't a factor? I'm getting paid for this!!!" Not to mention that you can take some SFW images that you've already made and use it a wallpaper so if they see it, you can say that's your art and it's what you're getting paid for. Honestly, the closer to the truth you go, the better for your sanity.

Well, how much love there is left or reignited of course depends on your initial choice. But yeah, Nef has said that he wants to do the "one big happy family" stuff first and fill in the blanks (aka "kick girls out" part) later. How much this is feasible I don't know but that seems to be the plan.

I second this: "...depends on your initial choice..." I don't think there are any hints up to that point how the MC feels about the wife. That choice is literally the first interaction with the wife in the game. Maybe I'm missing something?

I mean Sucuck - you can feel how you'd like to - but I agree with others that the wife is one of the best parts of the dynamic.

Hottest scene?
Mine is either the first time night sex with Christine or the desk at work where she says absolutely nothing the whole time.
Hard for me to choose between them.
Though an easy third is the wife buried in Hailey's snatch as she goes down on the mc.
