Some people do like hints, other don`t there is a whole genre of games out there that are build around NO HINTS.

If you can imagine it or not some people actually prefer to figuring out some stuff on their own.
Both of these are fine, however, a good game without hints will still show you're making progress, they do that with new dialogue, new animations, new renders. This game does not.

You clearly don`t which is fine!
but how can you be so ignorant and arrogant to make it a problem if it`s the other way around?
I do. My issue is not with hints or lack therof, my problem is with there being zero indication of progression. Dialogue not changing, Renders not changing.

You sound like a big Karen here.
Ah yes, such a massive Karen I go "Yo, this thing is bad, fix it for to make better gamening" and am then told, in not as many words, to get fucked by the developer cos GOD FORBID you call his clunky game clunky.

Anyways, I can only tell you to stop crying if things don`t go your way.
Not crying, couldn't give a shit TBH, just having a laugh watching people bend over backwards to defend an absolute clunker of a game, and pick me apart on entirely the wrong point of my posts.

It`s annoying like your writing style all in caps.
Good. I have to put things in all caps because, amazingly enough, people don't understand when you say things over and over with regular text.

Well, we both know you care more than you want to admit but that`s ok, this forum is full of "angry" people...
not only on this title.
It`s a general thing that people rarely are able to express their disappointment/frustration in a civil or better saying constructive way. Cancel culture is a thing^^

Anyways, the game changed already a lot, and with that I mean once there was really a situation or two with an dead end, the game was really hard, the Dev. made the coming titles much more easy.

Today we have more hints in the game than ever before and there will be even more improvements to the hint system coming.
At least that`s what I heard.

By the way if you offend the Dev. this will always trigger defenders^^ This is like Yin and Yang, hopefully this is not to abstract again for some of you.

Just trying to point out, if you want to get heard, make constructive suggestions if you only say I don`t like that, because I can`t progress that`s if you believe it or not not enough...since you are not in the majority with that - believe it or not^^

Make a suggestion on how to improve the Situation that suits the game, don`t only say other games do it like that...
There might be even a higher chance if you join the Discord with it`s suggestion channel but hey if you really don`t care let`s just say we agree to disagree...

"Lots of crap porn games do a thing so you shouldn't call a thing crap" is not quite the world beating argument you think it is mate.

Once again, because repeating things seems to be a thing of yours. REPEATING EVENTS IS NOT MY ISSUE. READ AGAIN. NOT. MY. ISSUE.

REPEATING EVENTS WITH NO HINT OF PROGRESS IS MY ISSUE. NO. HINT. OF. PROGRESS.

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DRAW THIS IN CRAYON FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND IT?
Again, personal opinion. I paid money for what you call crap, and I don't mean this game but some REPEATING EVENTS WITH NO HINT OF PROGRESS and nothing else games, but maybe I just like to eat shit in your point of view so my taste don't count?

REPEATING EVENTS WITH NO HINT OF PROGRESS is......a thing that some people don't mind the way you do. How is it difficult for you to understand?

Since you ask for suggestions: A simple counter like 5/10 would work. How else would players be able to distinguish between actions, that won't make any difference even after they are repeated the 100th time, and actions, that need 10 repetitions to make a difference? I guess, that's what annoys some players. Don't forget: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ;)
Here you are educated to insanity and some find that quite annoying. A changed counter (for example) would be a small, but recognizable step forward and would help keep the motivation level above frustration.

On episode one, I've managed to trigger all events but "22:00 in TV room". I've tried just about everything I can think of, and this just won't trigger. I have chips, she's in a good mood, I've talked to her about everything she's willing to talk about and taken about a million pictures of her - swimming pool, panties, etc... But every night Lynn just takes the chips and goes to bed.

Anybody have some guidance here? Is there something I need to have done with her earlier the same day? A particular day of the week? Some other prerequisite I'm not thinking of? The tips for getting closer still says something about buying her clothes, is there something I'm supposed to with that?
visit her at 8:30 until she agrees to not wear a bra

i got stuck at the same place and kept trying on and off for probably a week and a half before going to their discord and having to search there to find this solution. it wasn't intuitive at all, and the event marker for that morning slot had been marked complete already. it was very frustrating.

"I paid for crap and am defending crap"

Good for you mate, have a gold star.

If WWE2k20 taught me anything it's that you can slap a logo on any old crap and folk will buy it. or in this case, Porn not a logo.

Mate, I DID give suggestions on how to make the things I thought were bad, better, and got told my complaints would be ignored.
Christ this game is clunky as all fuck.

I'm fine with the grind, and the event viewer is nice, but after getting stuck on "16:00 at the pool" which I'd done, seemingly 80,000 times, it seems that if you do other events, or affect moods in any way, your "Progress" towards the 4 photoshoots, which all have identical dialogue, goes away.

I'd suggest making the entry in the event viewer 4fold "16:00 at the pool 1/4, 2/4 ETC", or "16:00 at the pool, 16:00 at the Pool again, 16:00 at the pool a third time, 16:00 at the pool one last time" as the dialogue not changing, and the poses looking similar gives little indication that progress is being made.

Long and short, the game needs polish, and lots of it to remove frustration and sticking points.
BEHOLD! SUGGESTIONS WERE MADE AND IGNORED!

Enjoy your caps. :)

You're playing with cheats - that's why

Hello Bob: sorry, I don't know what's wrong with my game, I actually downloaded the public version and started chapter 7 from the beginning, to be honest with you, I don't know how to do tricks, and that's why I don't do them.
As I told you in a previous post, I don't have much time to play but I love your games and that's why I follow you, I think I'll wait for the next chapter and maybe I'll have better luck.
Greetings and stay strong.

Hi - I opened your save file and everything looks very suspicious and I couldn't recognize the various stats.
To make sure that your game is clean - go to a previous save file from a previous episode - click stat in upper left corner and select Skip episode until you come to episode 7. From here you should be able to progress. Make sure to collect money and if you want to progress with a girl - make sure she has high arousal. You can do that by visiting the same girl everytime it's possible.

Thanks a lot - fixed in next update.
... simple change line 2485 from kitchen.rpy:

"if EVENTS[36].Progress >= 13:"
to
"if EVENTS[36].Progress <= 13:"


EP3 has an other bug.
my last events are 10 and 64, so i look in the code but cant find an error, but event 10 didnt get active.
After activate via console , event 10 run and then event 64 ... dont know why event 10 never triggert

EP4 Bug. if bob has > 500 money , so EP4-Event82 starts, but after roof,window, pool repair, ..
line 2472 if kitchen_repair == 1: (should : if kitchen_repair == 0)
will not trigger, cause it is "0" und run after this always in Event4-57, so this evant start every 20:00 and 22:00
so you can't end EP4-Event 15 - 20:00 Lynn room ...

EP5
$ EVENTS.append(Event(14,30,7,"Boutique",False,"EP5_event76",False,0,False,"13:00 in the boutique"))
$ EVENTS.append(Event(17,0,7,"Bathroom",False,"EP5_event36",False,0,False,"15:30 in bathroom"))
$ EVENTS.append(Event(17,30,7,"Cafe",True,"EP5_event67to72",False,0,False,"18:00 in the café"))

stuck in 73/77 how can i go with Eve bathroom at 11?
See my earlier posts about the error in the code for the bathroom7.rpy and pool7.rpy. Just replace them in your game directory.

Hopefully these fix them, but you could always decompile the rpyc files yourself (with UnRen) and fix the coding from my prior post.

Found a few progress breaking bugs in the code in Episode 7.

In bathroom7.rpy, line 780, it should say "$ EVENTS[35].Progress = 1" instead of "$ EVENTS[55].Progress = 1" (causes a loop--also not sure what it does to event 55, if there is even one)

In pool7.rpy line 173, it should say "$ EVENTS[50].Progress = 3" instead of "$ EVENTS[50].Progress = 2" (causes a loop)

I like game alot, but its so hard to progress end of evry chapter i always get like 10 unfinished events. I simply cant find anyting at those times. Lack of discription is hard. And why it always says talk to them about bf since i cant talk to them at any point. Also they dont have bf.
I wish it woud be more clearly indicated if i go at least into right direction. Somtimes protagenist is so criptic.
I'm at chapter 5 curnetly.
