I'm having the same issues with getting the money at breakfast. It seems to me that the game will be good, however there seems to be no direction, so I also agree that a walk through is needed.
I was able to get the money from Mom, and am told that my status in GroanR will be updated shortly. I went hopeme and slept, thinking I needed to sleep to get things moving. GroanR not updated, I go back to gym the receptionst tells me the same thing but the note about getting money from Mom is still there.

Had to learn that lesson the hard way doing projects for uni (matlab, python) and working with a few guys on an rpgmaker project. And yeah, heard the figures for sound files, uncompressed audio, is really pushing the limit. I vaguely remember reading that it accounted for ~ 40% of Gta5's space hunger. Could not find the examples I was looking for though so take the number with a grain of salt.

I think the problem started when one did not have to take into account the problems of data media distribution thanks to internet access and downloads. Not as bad as the old 56k modem days but it still hurts sometimes when I look at my (in comparison) bad connection and have to download 10 gigs using a sharesite I have no premium for.
Yea, I have a gig fiber connection with no limits now, but back when I didn't I definitely felt the crunch. I also started programming around 25 years ago, granted I was only 11 at the time but I still knew BASIC and some Assembly (back when 640k was your hard limit). I still keep those habits today as a systems engineer and they've treated me well so far lol. KISS for every thing (Keep it simple stupid, Keep it super small).

And once again, how can you know it's the end of content? You can't so you keep going in circles for a couple of days (gameplay of course I'm not insane).
And that really is my problem, you don't know how deep you can go and don't really know how things work (money, fitness, massage).
But the game seems like it can be good with more development and more fluidity (so yeah, walkthrough).

Wasn't really an argument. Was just saying how far I got. I'm in the minority here, or at least it feels like it but I like HTML real porn games but one flaw they all seem to have is there is nothing that tells you when the current content. If I'm lucky I get a message when i complete content for that character. But since most are at least on some level a sandbox game and there is no way to tell in which orders you do said events how is it going to give you a The End message? Walkthrough would be helpful because it would tell you after X you're done. But the changelog could tell you just the same. I'm looking forward to see where this one goes!

Yeah I like these HTML games as well, the russian scene seems to go with those and QSP. The pic folder shows me some events in the aerobic/yoga class so I presume that there is content, did not get it to fire though

Oh don't worry I was totally giving you reason there, I also think a walkthrough or in the least a memo saying "you have reached end of content for this path" would be good.
I also really like HTLM games with real porn scenes ans this is why I'll wait for the next updates hoping for greater content and more visibility.

Welp. Didn't expect it to be full-blown within few hours. Yup, I'm aware of the size issue. I'm noob at programming so believe it or not I'm figuring out how to develop a game with no prior knowledge whatsoever. I'll look up into encoding as I'm trying to understand the basics for it. Yes, there will be no sounds mainly because I don't know how to modify the volume so I skipped it altogether. The major reason why this is tougher is that I'm animating it with real videos even if it's a tiny scene(most of the games afaik uses pics and gifs to get by e.g. A Spell for All/The Company. For Son of a Bitch, it's video-based and it takes a massive amount too (9GB+) but equally, it has good amount of content as well. But sometimes the quality were not matching to what I wanted the game to be in) For End of Content(EoC) I have added an alert similar to what you experience at the start of the game that pops up. Based on the current path the development will take much longer (about 4 months or more) to release the next patch. During that stage if I encounter a bug it will be difficult for me to check it out too hence why I post it via discord but I do not get proper feedback at times which forces me to push it here. I can't regularly post it here as it's not a testing forum I would prefer to use.
I really appreciate the feedback and support. It means a lot. I would be glad if this was a community project as well then developing content will be waaay easier. Like giving video encoding to someone would take a huge burden off me. (I have the videos I need to extract from). Then after that possibly a tester but not at the moment, maybe after 0.5 patch threshold.

If you're tight on cash and need something akin to Adobe Premier you can use kdenlive to snip and re-encode the videos (that's what I used for the ones above). I've used it for a few video editing projects and it does the job perfectly fine. You can find it .

Also, if you're using the default Twine2 editor (the horrific visual graph editor with no markup whatsoever) you can use Twee2 to compile Twine games and use Atom editor to edit them. Basically code the whole thing in text (It's what a lot of the bigger Twine projects use).

Just my $.02, to each their own though.

I'm using premiere pro but the latest version does not have the webm plugin and it's not optimized from what was available on official forums. What I can do is make the file in mp4 and re-encode online. It did have reduced size on online encoders but the frame rate (23) lock does pose an issue. I'll check on the new software given. As for coding, I'll definetely check it out.

You get the money from mom at breakfast after you find the finess book in the bookshelf.But after you the money all content ends lol. You still cant train at the gym.

Mainly yeah. This story is derived from my CHYOA link. So bringing in from that to Twine has a lot to change... Plus im doing the bug testing on my own and its my first time. The demo is up though. You can play it until i update it this weekend.

Same ign as here. I would be having 2 stories in total. One an HP fanfic the other is this game. (I'd say that this one is more complete than the one on CHYOA)
