What I'm trying to understand better are the potential issues from your perspective. For example, the game doesn't collect any personal data. The internet is used in the following situations:

When you choose to use the cloud save function.
When you opt to use the Higran phone app to view photos taken by other players.
When using the proofreader system to report any dialogue errors.
And to check if there are any available updates for the game.

Ren'Py is completely open-source, allowing anyone to extract the code and check for any sort of 'malicious intent' within the game's code.

I can make this optional (I've already put this on my list of things to resolve.); it's not a problem for me, but I want to understand what kind of issues have occurred with games that accessed the internet, which led to certain behaviors among some players.
if your goal is to make a game available for all, there are a few main issues with "online" approach.
there are people without stable access to internet for various reasons.
there are those who dont want to be "tracked" yet again for various reasons.
there are those who just prefer to play offline, for various reasons once more.
a few of the main groups/issues imo.

ofc, there are those online gamers, platformers, tubers, etc, and those probably are delighted with online options.

if you wanna to please most of those sides, make it optional, as mentioned above.

im more inclined to offline gaming, so i might be a tad biased, yet no reason you have stated doent merit mandatory online gaming.

I'd really prefer not to deal with like this again, so starting with version 2.14.0, players will be able to choose some global settings before anything else. I'm not referring to you, please don't misunderstand me; I just want to resolve this once and for all.

Thank you for clarifying your point of view.

This game tried to connect to dev server when loading. After i denied this, its just suspended and doesn`t work.
Too shady for me, ignore list.

Just read the comments above, friend. LITERALLY a comment above, there is nothing obscure, it's just a check to notify you if the game has any updates.

I get game from pirate forum, obviously i don`t trust any attempts from game to "update" yourself.
It`s easy, if game can`t run without network connection, it`s 100% trigger for me. There are many games with such function on this forum, whose devs used it for maliciously purposes.
So good luck with development, but i`m out.

It doesn't 'self-update,' it simply notifies you that there's an available update. Just because it's a pirate forum doesn't mean all developers will act with bad intentions. After all, I'm the one who posts my game here, and the platform used is open-source. Anyone with minimal knowledge could detect any ill intent. People often forget that you don't need an internet connection for malware to infect your computer. WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE CASE OF THIS GAME, EVEN WITH INTERNET ACCESS WHICH WILL BE OPTIONAL IN THE NEXT VERSION


But it's okay, maybe Our Home really isn't for you. Thank you for informing.

Tried this and you did a nice job with the UI and everything but the story and writing is just terrible with lines like 'I hope I see breasts in the future'.
Its basically a polished turd, thanks but no thanks.

Really nice game (I play in VN mode).
But OldHiccup I can't get the Volicity curser to move:

Edit: sorry, I thought you could move the curser as you please but it's 0 or 1, left or right. My bad.

I miss 2 gallery scenes :
1 - Scarlett BJ. If I remember correctly from a past version you can only get it in Sandbox mode. Correct?
2 - Marta BJ. I only get a kiss, what did I miss?

Firstly, I'm very glad to hear you're enjoying the game. :giggle:

I plan to change this mechanism soon; I find it quite difficult to understand and will be paying close attention to it.

2 - Marta BJ. I only get a kiss, what did I miss?

1 - The scarllet scene is obtained if you choose not to listen to danielle's conversation, in the second event with her.
2 -Marta's Scene is obtainable, if you manage to excite her enough when you help her take a shower.
(Try not to squeeze her butt first, it should work.)

Hmmm, I thought about it before asking the question and tried different combinations,
