The leakers are usually not very intelligent. You can't hope they will think about the consequences of leaking a game:
1.- Piss off the dev: I haven't written a line for the next update in the last 26 hours (since the leak). I feel angry, sad, betrayed, and helpless. I don't want those emotions to bleed into my script.
2.- Delay the next update: If those feelings last for three days, the next update will take three more days to develop. If they last a week... You can see... Let's say 7 extra days. The last update took 61 days to do. The next one would be 68.
3.- Delay the next update even more for free players: The update was leaked 11 days early. If the next update takes 68 days (due to the above point) and it's not leaked, the tiers that have completed the cycle will wait for 68 days, but free players will wait for 79 days (68+11 of this update going free earlier) instead of the 61 they would have waited.
4.- Hit the dev economy: More than 30 subscribers have canceled in the last 26 hours. The ones in upper tiers are pissed off because they paid for something (early access) that they didn't get. The ones in lower tiers, because it's free now. I can't judge any of them. I'm thankful they supported me. It's not only the cancellations, you should add the players who won't subscribe to the lower tiers. I don't have numbers yet but, on average for the last 4 updates, since the lowest point between updates and the peak of subscribers, I get 176 new subscribers and then lose 102 until the next lowest point. I doubt I will get those new subscribers this time.
5.- In extreme cases, kick the dev from the business: I have been told of several devs who have abandoned their games due to being leaked. They were starting to earn a living and a couple of leaks put them under their needed earnings to pay the bills. They abandon the game and look for a "serious job" where they aren't robbed or at least know who robs them.
6.- In not-so-extreme cases, disillusion the dev: Today, I'm not at the fifht point (I have a "serious job"). But today (or yesterday, or tomorrow), I'm not eager to work 10 daily hours on My Dorm besides the hours I work at my job. Every time the game has leaked, and I know My Dorm isn't leaked as much as other games, I've pondered if it's worth continuing. The answer has always been "yes" until now. Who knows what will happen the next time?

I only know one thing: If I get to points 5 or 6 so hard as to abandon the game, it won't be me who is left without knowing how My Dorm ends. Or how the bushes or the new girls are ;) .
About number 4. You don't have to worry about me leaving the Meemaw tier for a long time. And if any reason I have to you can count on me to get back to that tier as soon as I possibly can. You've earned my respect to support you for this game and beyond Trope, never forget that my friend!

But... when you hear him saying that in your head, does the voice in your head sound a little like Javier Bardem??
;)
So...sometimes when I'm tired and read too fast I get a little dyslexic. When I read this the first time, I was appalled

that you were talking about a little Javier Bardem. :oops: :eek:

I realized my error almost immediately, but unfortunately my mind was already now thinking "I wonder what Javier Bardem looked like when he was younger?" He has one of those faces you just can't imagine on a kid, right? And then I remembered that in his most iconic role he sports a classic 1970's bowl-cut, and then I just couldn't stop laughing because this is what popped into my head:
Bart_Simpson_200px.png
So thank you (and dyslexia) for putting a picture in my head that had me literally doubled over in the kitchen for a good 30 seconds. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Today, going by subway, I saw Kiara. I think so. Will I see her everywhere after this update? :ROFLMAO:
We want pictures of real-life Kiara next time ;)
I'm inclined to press for details on city, track & stop specifics...but with all the peer pressure I know I can just sit back and wait for a story to pop up on the police blotters about someone being arrested for taking surreptitious photos of a redhead in a subway, and then I'll know right where to go to catch a glimpse of her. :cool: :LOL:
Or Rome & Athens, Georgia? Or Dublin, California? Or Moscow, Idaho? Or Geneva, Illinois?
Given that Bart Simpson is in this post, I have to point out that you missed a big one: Springfield. :D There was quite a debate back in the day on the interwebs about which state they lived in since 36 US states have one.

Jamal only shows up if you are trying to start a game on Season 3.

If you played Season 2 to the END and saved there, just LOAD that save on Season 3. If you didn't play Season 2 until the END, then do so, BEFORE you try Season 3.

:: Breathe ::

Peace :)
that is the thing i played every update. i played season 2 to the end and saved at the end, and then when season came out i played season 3 till aunt betty and the mc in a room with emma leaving. Do you think i should redo season 2 and go from there?

There's something missing here ... the latest update picks up right where you left off, but it's not separate, it's just the next update to season 3, so unless you got a corrupted file, loading your last save from the previous update should work fine.

Maybe try re-downloading the update?

Also, not throwing "chapter X" in your description would be good, since it doesn't really fit any of the labeling being used in this game -- We're currently in the second "act" of a 3-act story, the "seasons" are just based on file size (5gb max / 2gb android), and the updates have as much content as Trope can cram in over the time frame he wants updates to take, thus they don't correspond to any particular "chapters" either.

Not gonna lie... I also laughed for about 30 seconds (until I couldn't see because my eyes were watering too much) from your Javier/Bart hybrid image and the description leading up to it. Well played.
