"There is no grind in this game" ?? Sorry but groundhog day is grind.

Open the 'game' folder in the Personal Trainer folder, you'll see a save folder (if it doesn't show up you'll need to play the game for the save folder to automatically created), then copy the downloaded save, rename it to 1-1-LT1.save, copy it to the save folder

its not working, you also have to put it in the windows Renpy folder, but what's the name of the folder?

You don't need to copy it to the Ren'py folder. Dropping it in the save folder will work just fine.

As for me, how the creator ended this game is not that tragic. I know no story has an ending (except maybe Amy's story, which if you took her seriously, had a pretty good ending. Something like They lived happily ever after ). I even liked the concept (possibly not intended, but only caused by an accelerated ending) that the game actually consists of 9 games, stories that, although related to each other, are not mutually exclusive. Of course, some of them ended too quickly and without any conclusion whatsoever, but the fact that I didn't have to choose between Amy's really touching story and Sophie's hot and deep love feels like a good idea.

Let's be honest with this question: How would the MC resolve being in relationships with all these different women? It cannot end well. Either you have to choose one, or the harem ending, but unfortunately the latter, in most cases, the creators are not able to present deeply enough compared to the first variant.
My biggest complaint is that the Mayan story is so brief. The idea and possible development could be as deep and touching as Amy's story. What can I say, most of the stories need a little more to be called finished. I hope that the Creator can make a continuation and it will be divided into separate stories in one world as well.

Finished the game and I have to say some of the endings for this project were highly disappointing and unrealistic. For example with Amy's ending if you choose the confront ending you end up getting shot by the husband with him killing himself only to find yourself back at your own apartment at the end?

You would think that you would have gotten either

A) a game over
B) sent to the hospital after getting shot

But no you only get sent back to your apartment despite getting shot at least twice.

Then there was the Sophie ending which really disappointed me big time. On the one hand I could see the realistic ending route where there was no way the two of them could get married which I completely understand. However if you choose that later option and you Sophie doesn't come back to you why in the hell would he go back to the very woman who drove him into his cousin's arms in the first place? Make zero sense to me big time.

I mean if the player choose the second option and Sophie was gone for good the next best route (In my opinion at least) would have been him going with Amy seeing as

1) her husband would be either in jail or dead
2) he has a child on the way with her
3) It is obvious there is something there with the two of them.

Heck if that wasn't an opinion there was even Jenna, and Dani seeing as Jenna wanted Simon to move in with her, and as we saw she was growing as a character in a good way. The same could have been said of Dani.

In other words so much wasted potential for good conclusions and so many disatisfying ending that made no sense or could have been better.

He treated each girl as in a different universe, it looks like they don't exist in other girls path. Too hard to connect and make a coherent ending.

Face it, the MC wasn't really that nice a person. He got cheated on and decided to "screw the entire world" (Sort of). As for Amy, he said he would do that right thing and be there for the kid and support her. But wouldn't become some "dad" for her other kids or basically play happy house. Halfway decent.

In no universe it would be possible to tie all those characters into a harem ending. All the girls kinda knew he was sleeping around. So for them to expect some "exclusive" deal and happy ending not that likely either. I would say the ending with the cousin was the "one true ending" if any. For all those that wanted more to that ending. That ending is not any worse than what you find in many books, movies (whatever else out there).

He said that at the beginning, but at the end he said that if she thinks he will have a good influence on the children, he can be a father for them.

Thats why you have options, make the player chose who he wants to end with if not with Sophie, everyone end with their favorite character and you have a shitty decent ending for everyone, since he treated each ending as a separated universe you don't really need to address the other girls when you chose one, hence the "shitty decent ending".

But that's also part of the learning process for devs and it's the part they seem to have skipped with this game. They may feel that they've learned the technical processes well enough and their renders and animations did certainly get a lot better, but it feels like they just gave up with the stories of these characters which, again, even for a practice project, is very poor form.

Even if this game was just to practice and improve their game development skills, it ultimately feels like they didn't care about these characters or this game because of the way the different stories just abruptly ended without a proper resolution, and it's sad to think that because even if they didn't intend to, they've created characters and stories that players really enjoyed and became invested in and a game that deserved a much better ending than what it got.

 

[Canto Forte]

MC decided to be the asset to this venture he got into .. he is the reason for lust and passion of game babes.

decided to "screw the entire world"

That is the lonesome heart of guys giving too much and losing themselves in others.
He has a complicated relationship with the redhead wonder babe and that is so cunning and attractive in this game.
That sets it apart, keep on her, others can be the distractions, ”cause Mc has lost his compass and only indulges in babes.

It's a good point. In this way this game is terrible. Few potentiality great stories and abrupt ending. Not cool.

My thoughts exactly. There was just so much potential here for many different multiple endings that could have worked out very well, however it feels as thought the author just said F it I am doing this and that is that.

My personal favorite character I grew attached to was Amy with Sophie, Jenna, and Dani coming in the next places.

The others while I did like their stories seemed like flings at best, and Mayan had so little development I don't even know what I could call her.

So to be honest I am not too surprised that the creator choose to give those 4 characters I mentioned the last bit of story development for this game but still it feels like a massive punch to gut with the way this went.

 

[supprzem]

My personal favorite character I grew attached to was Amy with Sophie, Jenna, and Dani coming in the next places.

For me it would be: Amy, Sophie, Dani and Jenna(she cam to strong for me, too aggressive). Next Mayen (great potential but toooooo short - later when i saw her in the gym i was so frustrating) and Hikari.

 

[MKDude]

So Mayan has less content than the bitchy karen-style chick. I got a "content in development" with Hikari. And this game is complete.

Cool.

 

[Roger Keanway]

First of all, i'm not an english native speaker...
What the hell? How can you call this a "Completed Game"?
I was thinking at some moment, the creator would connect all the woman in the Harem, but no: Amy's choice doesn't make any sense, what's gonna happen to her and the children?
Sophie will know that Mc is fucking is entire workplace? Because she gave up her dream work...
So many characters with no development, Hikari, the Coffe shop girl, and etc...
The only person who makes sense to me is the blonde amazon, who complete developed her sexuallity and becomes Mc's sex partner, the rest... i don't even understand what the hell happened

 

[jamdan]

This game was never meant to be as long as it was. It was supposed to be a practice game. Dom used images he made from several different engines. Practiced animation and rendering and that sort of thing. It was never an attempt at a "good game", that's why it isn't serious and sort of random. Also why the endings aren't that great. He decided he is done practicing, so he completed his practice game. He was never going to go for a serious ending for every girl, just something for each of the main ones.

His patron supporters all knew this as did anyone who reads this thread frequently. Dom has never tried to hide the fact this isn't a serious game or that this would be the last update. We've known that for months.

I also don't believe you can say the game "took off". He hovered around 100-200 supporters for most of the project. He never even got to 1k per month, it peaked at around 850 a year or so ago.

 

[Malkovichi]

Where is save folder? i cant find on windows 10

C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\RenPy???

 

[g0atb0y]

Having the same issue.
Stuck on "i should enjoy falling asleep and waking up with sophie...." not sure what triggers it.
Guess there is more with sophie stuck behind this.

I think there might be a time delay. I just fast-forwarded a week and then when I hit the Zzz to sleep, it triggered for the next morning.

 

[Daerque]

I know he was using this as a "practice project", but honestly, who cares if it was practice or not because even if that's the case, it shouldn't just end when the dev feels they've had enough and are ready to move on to their main passion project; that's what leads to games either having deliberately rushed endings or games that feel like they have rushed endings as this game does.

Even as a practice project, a dev, in this case Domiek, should have at least planned a proper beginning, middle, and end for the characters in this game and for the overall story of the game. It's not just about learning the technical aspects like DAZ development, animations, coding, game design, etc, that a dev needs to master, it's story writing as well, knowing how to develop a story with multiple characters and conclude it in a satisfactory way, and sadly Domiek has failed at the conclusion part. Telling people multiple times that this game is just for practice doesn't excuse the disappointing and open-ended nature of its so-called "completion", it should just have been to alert people to the fact that it might vary a bit in quality as their skills improve during production.

You can't really call this game "complete" when there are so many things left open:

1. Where does the MC and Dani's relationship go from here?
2. Where does the MC and Jenna's relationship go from here?
3. Where does the MC and Amy's relationship go from here?
4. Where does the MC and Sophie's relationship go from here?
5. What happens if the MC cums inside Daisy?
6. What happens with Hikari after her Dad finds out she's a stripper?
7. The MC and Mayan were getting closer, what would have happened there?
8. Would we ever see more of Karen?
9. How would the MC resolve being in relationships with all these different women?

That was my point. The Dev had said quite some time ago not to expect polished finalized endings to the individual lines. Such was said on the Patreon page, in Discord, and, if memory serves correctly, in this forum as well.
