BeWilder You know how you can skip with TAB when you've already seen scenes once? You can maybe use that to let people skip in new versions.
Example: Someone has completed 0.5 and now has to complete 0.7 from scratch.
To prevent that do the following:
  • At the end of the previous version(0.5), give people a code before the credits that they can save for a future version.
  • When the new version(0.7) comes out, add an "unlock" menu where you can input the code.
  • When punched in, it will let every scene from 0.5 be skippable with TAB.
I don't know if this is possible, but if it is the problem would be somewhat solved.
I get that you don't want people to just skip through the story and look for codes before playing the game, but to be honest, they're only cheating themselves. Without the story, they are just pixels moving on a screen. You can get that with a quick google search.

I don't know what this type of code is called, but every choice you make builds and changes the code till you have a unique string at the end that'll do exactly what you want:
AAAABAMDAGpDCPQabN-KJSG86iWym4q-T5AzqqnAZhUn6QJVxiyc7IoLYRZvr2xqrJ69BLN8g2KGTLNo8ohARZ3TjzpYpqwqmCSq7IMRLah9MtFtGeNqR4UEB4PbNulg-FqRU1Jr24yxRUfwH9P7_oGiAOvumuA

The above is from a talent generator in a game I play. When you've picked all the ones you want, the code has grown to look like that for an instance.
The game is a series of decisions, like selecting from the talent tree that made the code above.
That is a good suggestion but we actually already save the scenes you've already watched, you just need to move the saveFile into the new folder. I don't see how keeping a code from one version to the next is easier than just keeping a savefile.

We save A LOT of things during the game cause we want to have them in case we need them; stats, characters, secondary scenes, etc etc. It's all saved temporary in the application in a lot of variables under the savefile classes and dumped in a JSON file that looks something like this:

Noe{
Stats{
Nerve = 3
}
}

This is then encoded (so it cannot be cheated) and converted into a binary string (so it weights much less) before saving (a long long succession of '0' and '1' for everything in the file, like "1000101010000101..." etc; which is basically the same as the code you refer to in your message). In the new version we decode it from binary and the encoding and voilà, simple as it can be we have a beautiful file with everything we ever need.


We end up with 10kb files (which is kinda average for a save file) compressed and encoded that we can pull everything we ever want from ;)

That's fair, didn't know save files were compatible across versions. That's usually not the case with games like these.

ok guys i solved. to save the game, click on the word SAVE. no on the label but exactly below it and on the word SAVE. View attachment 483450
this does not work on Mac version
because when i quit the game and i restart there are no saved files and as you can see it cimes with a SECOND SAVE 1 SLOT!!
i think the second slot should be writ as SAVE 2 but also in your solution there is a secins SAVE 1 slot

this is the problem

Yeah, it took a very long time but we finally got some people to fill us in on the fact there was a Mac version save bug. We've dealt with it though, so thanks to those who did help us out on that one.

ah, we’re add to our poker playing and… wait? Is Noe betting with her shoes? Oh, does that mean it’s that kind of poker game? The one where you get colder the more you lose? You know the kind we mean! It does look that way, doesn’t it? And she’s already lost her necklace too? Oh girl…

Yes indeed, we’re putting together our first character arc focused release at last, and we’re starting with Beck, Brad’s best friend and Noe’s worst enemy (after Sal of course). That’s why this version is dubbed “Beck in Business”. We’ll be picking up the arc from were we left off back in v0.4, so y’all should expect Noe to let the darker competitive side of her personality get the better of her and make her act and do things she normally wouldn’t if she didn’t need to win so much! Sure, that growing competitive spirit will help fuel her fight on Easy Street, but if she pushes too much… will she ever know how far is too far for victory? That’ll be for y’all to decide!

We’ll not show our hand just yet, but expect the Beck arc to be highly competitive, with lots of head butting, and no love lost because they don’t have any. There’s corruption and immorality in store for Noemi if she thinks the win is worth it, but this isn’t your typical “I hate the bad guy until I love him” story!

So, what ahead for v0.8 then? That calls for a list! Here we are:

- 5 Full New Scenes! Yes, we’ve got a complete pack again, and this time it’s all 5 on the Beck arc, giving him 6 scenes total so far. We’ll see plenty of poker, some games with some rather immodest rules and offers, a humiliation punishment we can all enjoy, and even some outdoor activity too. These 5 scenes include 1 x-rated one in its ranks (or as much as 3, depending how you count it). Oh, and something else to say loudly, Noe’s not the only girl looking to get in on the game!

- An expanded Downtime (Noe’s day off) section of the game. There are more character story scenes to find for Beck, a whole new activity for Noe to unlock and us to enjoy (as well as make some money-money for her!). She’s even got herself a new outfit for washing all those Cars! In addition, we’ve added a new training option each for Kriem, Frankie, and Kelsey using these activities, and now that Noe has gotten to know Damon in his arc, she can spend a bit of time with him in a new Park relax repeater. We’ve even gone and upped the amount of stress relief everything on Noe does!

- A thoroughly rebalanced Restaurant Management gameplay section, including new Outcomes! We’ve added a first batch of Lv2 outcomes for Promoting (Reactive/Green Shield version), one for each of the 4 girls, each showing off their unique talents from where to find hungry stoners to physical assets. We’ll add in the other side of the street’s Lv2s when we can, plus some more Lv1s in time. We’ve also added a set of Lv2 Day Off outcomes for Kriem, Frankie and Kelsey, including sexier ways to bust that stress (and more stress busted too!). As for the rebalance part, we’ve reduced stress gain across the board on all jobs, made Good Outcomes more likely for each job, Bad Outcomes less likely, and flattened out the variables across all the girls to make them fairer between them. It should be an easier task to burn through that debt of Noe’s and to get the goodies that lie behind it!

And that’s the gist of what to expect with our v0.8! We’re getting deeper into the sex and the stickiness now that all the girls are present. Noe gets to fight with another guy in her life, only this one is a lot more susceptible to settling things quick and dirty, rather than Sal who enjoys playing with his food. Maybe Noe will get to work out those frustrations, in more ways than just laying down cards!

Enjoy the look see at the first bit of hands on our special 1-vs-1 poker game has to offer. It only gets spicier from there! We’ll be back with more teasers and a Brave and Bold release in the weeks to come before February too, so get your boots off and your underwear off too, because that’s how you get to beWilder!

BeWilder well I still need a save file from ending of 0.5 to beginning of 0.6 to be updated.
We're still waiting to hear back from any one of the folks who reported the issues about not finding Frankie or Kelsey, so we still can't confirm if it's down to poor play outcomes (for whatever reason), or if it's a triggering bug. Not a single person has gotten back to us yet. So far nothing we've recreated ourselves tells us it's the later. That means the same reason we suggested waiting on the save is still in effect.

Plus, it's probably going to be better to load up a v0.5 or v0.6 end point save in the next release anyway, as it'll give you more of a window to find the new scenes and an easier time burning debt with the gameplay rebalance efforts. You can skip any scenes you've seen before with a button press if you need to. Might just be better to wait, or at least hold the save if you get one.

One and a half years in development, how much of the game do you guys reckon is completed?
Didn't play the last few updates, is it substantial enough now to warrant a download?

Wait for 0.8, it has already dropped but not uploaded yet, I'm having some problem with my PayPal can't sub to Patreon. The biggest update in a long time I think, at least for the main character, they still need to expand on side characters though. The version number is a bit misleading as they're most likely gonna take it to double digits like AOH, I think it's only about 20% in terms of content but it's polished enough that it's worth a download. Very underrated imo.

Thank you for the reply, seems promising, but I think I'll hold off on it for a couple of years, I'd like there to be at least half a game before I play again, and preferably less than a year development time left. It would be interesting to see a roadmap for this game.

Can we have an actual NTR scene? There are NTR tags for this game but I can't remember a single moment where NTR was an option
