Any news about update?
Thanks in advance


Development of v0.14.1 UPD#2

Hey guys! Another portion of news for you regardless v0.14 ;)
Most of the content has been done. You can check the changelog below and see how many images and animations there are already. I expect to make 40 images more as well as a few animations. The update is really huge, our biggers update so far. It's like two updates merged in one xD
Despite how badly I want you to play the update already, it's not going to happen that soon. We still need time to finish making content (which gonna be soon), to write dialogues, to put what's left to be put into the game and, of course, we'll need to test the build (oh boy, it's gonna be hard). So, please, be patient :(
Expect the update to be released by the end of July.

Changelog (not final):
  • Grace's main story line continuation
  • New Grace's side activities
  • Fiona and Grace cross scene (napping guard event)
  • Grace, Fiona and Jennifer cross scene at school
  • Evelyn's massage by the pool new option for each route (and changing what's already there based on current Evelyn's main story progression)
  • Art contest expansion: now Oksana properly reacts to you if you already met her (not mentioning if you already have relationship with her)
  • New UI (you'll be able to use the computer in your room)
  • Minor improvements (amongst which is Digital Arts location properly removed)
  • 584 images, 14 animations

depending on your choices sky is limit. doubt you want spoilers.
I'm basically just seeing if I should hold off or not. I'm just curious if you can "seal the deal" yet, as it were. There's so much space between these updates, that I barely remember who's who, or what's going on by the time the next update hits. All the games kind of start to blend together in my head at a certain point.

Continuity error. During the morning scene when checking in on sis and you catch her watching porn, it will say "wonder if she is still a virgin" even if you've already creampie'd her personally while taking her virginity

Continuity is not really good here anyway. Since the plot is not linear, you have repetitive scenes that make little or no sense in the dynamic with the character later on. Possibly this will be replaced with alternative scenes in the code at some point, but so far this has had relatively low priority in development.

The 'take special pictures for Jen' event lists Grace as a target but complains I dont know her number and need to gift her a phone. I've had 2 spare phones in my inventory since forever in game and they dont show up in Graces gift list. Bitch also didnt want the flowers I did gift her.

AKA

Dont have the game ask me to gift grace a phone if you wont LET ME GIFT HER THE PHONE even when I got multiple spares. Circumvented the problem with dev console but should still be looked into

there is not much continuity unless it's specific quest and even then continuity isn't always set on stone.

the bad continuity is exactly why it needs pointed out or the dev wont fix it
fix what? dev has made it so and "fixing" it would delay story's advancing.

Of course he made it so, it wouldn't be so otherwise.
Sorry, but if the dev makes a game where tasks can be done without given order then his code must respect that.
If it doesn't it's a bug that can be fixed. Other devs manage to do that as well. And also THIS one fixed such bugs, just not all of them.
He may or may not want to fix these, but saying there's nothing to fix since he made it so, that actually sound kinda religious: "It will happen for it is written, it wouldn't be written otherwise."

If we only created new software without fixing the bugs in our existing versions .... our customers would throw lawsuits on us.

Slower story advancing as cost for a higher quality game? Count me in!

like said earlier things that happen in home don't have relevance to school or things happen at rm don't effect things at home etc.

sure those could be "fixed" but then that would mean that needs to do it on both paths (love and corruption) on many characters.

The repeatable scenes are only there for the people crying "why can't i redo scenes" that was meant to only be a one time scene thats near the start of the game and never to been seen again, if YOU choose to "redo" an earlier scene thats on you not on the dev, the only point of repeatable scenes is to see the exact same scene again nothing more nothing else. you as the player can choose to just not do repeatable scenes, their basically just meant as an in-game "mini" gallery, or a place holder until more story elements advance, and seeing as Rachel's story hasn't been touched in forever she has a bunch of place holders right now.

Its mind numbingly trivial to fix bugs like this. Its literally less than a half dozen lines of code and that includes the dialog itself for both logic branches. There is no excuse not to fix a broken scene when its less than a minute of effort

You talk about it as if it's a memories or a gallery, but it's part of the gamplay and as such it should be adressed.
And no, no one cries for repeatable scenes without sexual interaction, those are a tool to stretch the play time.
As I said, since the order of the events is not given, some of these scenes might be seen for the first time after the circumstances already changed. If that should not be possible, then there should be a flag for that. Really, it's nothing that would drive Sysiphus crazy, it only has to be done. Such checks are only a lot of work if the checks are not encapsulated in the first place and that's something all programmers know how to do it. There is no gameplay reason not do do it, it's just a question of "want". This dev might not be in the mood to update his old code to fix bugs, which is his decision. But it's nothing that should be defended.
