Not sure what's up with your saves. None of our testers and me had any issues loading a save. If your saves were f*ed up, that would probably also reset the persistent variables. We didn't add the choices again to set character relationships, so if you start a new game, set the relationship there and get back to the main menu to start Suzi's Arc, it should use your choice of relationships and names.

We tried AI animations in this version to see how they are received. It is not really reducing our workload, it just shifts it.
So, if the majority of supporters don't like them, we will have to do something about that.
I will try that for sure. Could be me but the last version I had was unmodded and downloaded from here so I don't know why I had that experience in particular.

Sorry to hear it isn't reducing the workload. As I said, I thought they were better than most I have seen. Only issue is the body language. Almost everything the AI was trained on was porn videos on the internet, which are not representative of the actions & expressions of a virgin experiencing sex for the first time.

The AI animation is better than I thought.
Yeah like I said, better than most. I agree here. I am not suggesting you abandon the use of AI, merely recommend that you apply a more careful & curatorial approach to the scenes used.

Since I am not a paid supporter, you are welcome to ignore my comments of course. Your game, your call.


FWIW, you are on the short list of devs I would support if money was less of an concern. I have enjoyed all of your work thus far.

There will be three Suzi parts. The first one Suzi x Petal, then Suzi x Bliss and Suzi x Moon. It will not be exclusively scenes with Suzi. As in this update, the first scene is with Moon.

Feels like this should have been a separate game.

The AI is...fine. Its not "BAD" but imo it feels like every other "good" AI in that it just looks unnatural and jarring compared to the rest of the game. It Looks like its done by AI and doesn't feel like it adds anything that was missing before.

So I wasn't imagining the "completed" tag. Well, I'm glad the previous version wasn't the finished game, it seemed truncated.

I love this small chapter, even in this small time i felt more family integration, and a nice homage to earlier events.
"Over the Moon" felt too isolated, not enough of older characters.

And i like the AI animations, used in a tasteful manner so far.

:unsure: :unsure::unsure: Is this part of Moon Story (Over the Moon) or is it THE story of Suzy, which has no part of the story Over the Moon or any other part of the Rose Trilogy, in a word, is it a stand alone story or is it integrated in moon Story? :unsure::unsure::unsure:

Cause my stories are saved has each in his own sub-folder, in my " The Rose Trilogy" folder and i wanted to know if this story stay in the Over the moon sub-folder or in it own Suzy's Story sub-folder

It's a separate story but it's the same download, you can't split them.
This version contains the full Over the Moon story.
You access the Suzi Story from the main menu, not by loading up your Over the Moon save and playing past the ending(the ending still works the same).

Click Suzi's arc and you go directly to it, new game or load for Over the Moon.
Story seems to take place with Moon still adjusting to living with the family.

Do you have to play the previous games to understand it?
I think so, Suzi's story doesn't waste time introducing the characters or what's going on with them, drops you right into it.

Play this one first, then the one you linked, then the main Over the Moon, then Suzi's arc.
Petal>Bliss>Moon>Suzi

I found the animations to be very good, but then I prefer to follow the story, rather than nitpick everything, just for something to do. I've thoroughly enjoyed most of this story so far except I was a little disappointed with Moon's final part of her story, which seemed hurried and shortened. Suzi's arc is going well, so far. Keep up the good work.

That's the second one. Here's the first:
https://f95zone.to/threads/a-petal-among-thorns-v6-0-2-re-lockheart.87472/

So do the one I linked, then the one you linked, then the one in this thread.

I don't know how fast you read, but I think you can probably get through each of them in 4 or 5 hours per. I don't skip any text, and deliberately read at an easy pace rather than speed reading, and do most of the choices so I get everything there. Been a matter of years since I did them, so I might be remembering the length wrong by a little, but these aren't especially long.
