It's been explained before - HoneyGames is a one-man band dev with a few volunteer helpers and bug finders/fixers (like myself). Anybody who's been following the game will know that he releases it to the top-tier Patreon subs and helpers, they accept there are going to be some bugs (as it's a very complex game) and help find/fix them and the he releases an update a bit later.

It's not his fault someone leaks it here the day of the release with all known bugs at that time included, after all he released a bug fix pack within hours. I've already spotted a couple more but it's easier for HoneyGames to deal with responses from a few individuals rather than en-mass from a site like F95Zone.

If it's leaked & buggy - blame the one who uploaded it and not the dev.

PS: Line 171 in "p 18 rainporn.rpy" should be:
-> mark "ahhhh"
I fully understand where you are coming from but don't get me wrong and take it as a blaming game.

I am not blaming the dev, not my point at all. I am sorry that it came across as such and honestly, I do not follow HoneyGames except for NCC (which I discovered a few weeks ago).

Somehow, I find it funny that most people would blame the leaker for releasing a bug game etc.

If I have to play the blaming game here, it would have been the volunteers who obviously didn't test the release thoroughly and didn't advise HoneyGames to make the changes before even releasing to Patreons.

The volunteers are not really making HoneyGames any favour except for damaging his/her reputation of a developer that does not perform the proper system life cycle of a release game.

Luckily, that it's just a patreon release, imagine if that it was a bigger consumption group where people are actually paying money. I wouldn't picture the amount of frustration of the players that they have received a heavily bugged game all throughout.

My feedback here was purely to make HoneyGames aware of these issues and still having issue despite bugfixes have been released.

If HoneyGames needs more volunteers to beta test, I'd gladly help as I really enjoy NCC and would really have a neat release without bugs.

This game is well made but it's too like real life. You have to go through a lot of interactions with people you don't care about in order to get to the good bits. :D

This game always have some bugs because there are too many different paths and complaining that the latest update 1.4 has bugs and blaming the person who provided the links or the moderator who updated the links in the OP for this is pointless because this forum, as if someone forgot, was set up to share such games and if someone is disturbed by the formula why this forum exists I wonder why they still have an account here.

And writing that as somebody wrote here earlier that we should all wait a few more weeks for these bugs to be fixed is also pointless in my opinion because I know very well that with so much content and variety of paths available, there will always be some bugs here that can be find even in older versions of the game. So in my opinion, if more people have a chance to play, then a more bugs will be caught and probably reported here and dev will be able to find out about them in this way too.

Of course, please do not take personally what I have written, because this is only my opinion and I understand that dev has asked to wait to share the latest update so that he can have time to repair bugs and so on, but everyone here knows that here it usually doesn't work that way because many people always can't wait to receive a new update and usually somebody here will share it.
As someone who has followed the game since the beginning and using the code as a walkthrough it's a mess. It's always been a mess. It's why he is now on his 3rd and 4th restart.

The volunteers get the game at the same time as the top tier patron, this is the beta version, it has been leaked before the bugs are found. We play the game and post the bugs on discord to get a fixed version but it was released earlier.

Also the word volunteer means they do it for free.

I got the "day9697sm" label missing, now what ? All the help is appreciated :)
Looks like it should be "jump day9607sm" instead of "jump day9697sm" for Line 1773 of "02 day 96.rpy". The only difference in the branch is whether your sided with Yoshi or Dana/Katana.

I don't know why I have not unlocked Riley's scene despite I've been trying to get her every time I could, any advice? And also, Can you guys pass screenshots from it? I really need to see her.
No need to pass them, you have them in the image folder if you DLed 1.4

Was going to reply the same but you beat me to it. :p Some of us volunteers aren't on Discord or Patreon - I contact HoneyGames via direct messaging on here for example. I have suggested the he might want to call future first drop releases on Patreon, etc as "NCC-1.4-Alpha-pc.zip" or similar - so that users know what they're getting.

Unfortunately not all devs can have multi-member teams checking each others work and testing. Considering the complexity and number of variables/paths it's pretty remarkable the initial release is as playable as it is with only HoneyGames working on it.

I switched from the Compressed version to the original version, so I need to play from the start again. So I wonder, I have Rain for myself yet?

new here, is ntr optional? as in, can i avoid it?
If you ignore or stop seeing single girls (and some with partners) then your flat mate will likely pursue them - if you look after them he won't. He'll always succeed with some of them but you can't manage more than 4-5 at a time anyway if playing the gigolo as there are limited opportunities to keep them satisfied each week - normally only one per day barring other story events.

Likewise - if your trying to win a girl from their current partner (technically you're the one doing the NTR) and ignore them they'll go back to them, such as Luana (Luke) and Yanmei (Terrence).

Edit "02 day 96.rpy" with a text editor like Notepad++ or something and change "jump day9697sm" to "jump day9607sm" on Line 1773. Go back one step from the error, save the game, quit & restart and it should progress.

Looking at the code the branch should not be any different which ever side you take.

There's no walkthrough as it's very complex but check out the guides I created that are linked in the OP which will give you an idea of who the girls are and who they currently have a relationship with (if any). One also points to a list of the saves I had which might give you an idea of which girls to group together if you go down the gigolo route.

I'd also recommend playing alongside viewing the current *.rpy files in something like Notepad++ and it will give you and idea of good/indifferent/bad decisions - in the absence of said walkthrough.

Later next year (when I take a nice early retirement :cool:) I might start attempting a few walkthroughs based upon specific targets or groups. By that time NCC (ie, the current season) will have probably finished so it would be appropriate.
