Hi,
I haven't played your game yet because of the unavoidable Lesbian.
I wanted to check to see if you made it so that the lesbian content is optional now or at least that you can ignore the lesbian girls.
I would like to try your game but that is one non-vanilla fetish that has been overworked to the point that it is a trope and is boring.
I would much rather only see content involving only the MC having sex.

No, no you can't.

Are we ever going to get music? Last time I checked this thread the dev was considering it.
I can't play one of these games without music, the silence is too deafening.

Since the question of pregnancy keeps coming up, I'll post this here. I have sent this in a couple private message conversations and thought that I had posted it here but apparently I had not.

Pregnancy is not in the game for technical, workload, and gameplay related reasons. Here's the rundown:

- Technical/Workload : Ren'Py uses still images and movie files, not 3D models. So, each image and movie file would need to be created for each pregnancy state. Even if it's just pregnant/not pregnant, that would be doubling every image / movie that has a girl in it. That's doubling the file size and doubling the renders. Then, if there are 2 girls in a scene, they need the four different combinations: both pregnant, both not pregnant, first girl pregnant, and second girl pregnant. It gets worse the more girls there are. For a five girl event, for example, it would be 32(!) different variations of pregnant/not pregnant for five different girls (2 to the power of 5). That's a crazy amount of work that has to be done due to the technical limitation of how I'm using Ren'Py. It gets ridiculously worse with a tri-state pregnancy like barely pregnant/heavily pregnant/not pregnant. Then the five girl event would need 243(!) different variations for each and every image and movie file in the scene.

- Gameplay : Even though the premise of my game is ridiculous, I want it to be grounded in reality rather than fantasy land when it comes to physics and rules of the world. The only one I break is the "meds" the Main Character is on that allow him to fuck all day. So, a pregnancy would need to last 9 months to keep it consistent with reality. In a game where each turn is 1 hour and bulk turns in 1 day increments, even with a month being 4 weeks (technically it's more), that's 252 days or 6,048 hours/game turns. That's a crazy amount! So, instead of impregnating them all the time, it becomes a waiting game that quickly is no fun, at least from my perspective. To avoid the Technical/Workload element they could have pregnant/not pregnant events, but then each pregnant girl will have basically no content for a very, very long time. It's a rough go with my 24 hour cycle. Games that do pregnancy well either have unrealistic quick pregnancies (see Summertime Saga) or have a game turn be a whole week (like Haramase Simulator).

Hope the full explanation is helpful! I actually enjoy pregnancy in games that have it. It's just not a fit for the reasons outlined above.

Easy, have it be part of the story to get them pregnant, either have everyone get pregnant or no one, with a toggle at the start of the game, unless the game actually acknowledges how much time has passed you can just progress the pregnancies to the next stage once a certain point in every character's story has been reached + a certain amount of days have passed (so it doesn't feel too fast), no need for super realistic length, we're not playing a simulator, too much freedom of how to progress hurts a sandbox game rather than help it after all, requirements with other characters and other things to progress is important, having no actual goal except hunt for sex scenes makes people lose interest pretty fast after all.

Aurora's progress event isn't popping up. At first I thought it was from the no sleep script but after a clean download it's still inactive

There's one requirement that I forgot to put in the progress hint for her. The new progress event only occurs if you've had sex with Aurora at least twice. Can you check and see if you have? If not, can you try having one of her repeatable sex scenes and then see if the event pops up?

I'll make sure to fix the progress hint in the next release. My apologies for any wasted time.

Well i guess pregnancy content is pretty easy to add without creating double the work - just add a preggers girl aka someone who arrives on the island already pregnant. Naturally this will offer a new kind of kink which would be most welcomed and of course there are plenty of reasons why this could add to the story esp with characters like Sunshine who has a pregnancy fetish in herself. The only issue people might have against that is them perhaps being against the idea of someone else being the one who got her pregnant but that is easy solved by just having her being an ex of the MC and thus he was the one who did the deed in the firstplace though im sure more than enough people would not care either way especially as Netori is popular enough (not to be confused with NTR - your the one stealing the women!).

Anyway i like how much of this game has repeatable scenes (thus means in theory you do not overtly need a gallery) though it can be hard to try and keep track of what is repeatable and what is a one and done (if your trying to keep saves for those it might be a real juggling act vs just making dozens of saves just to be on the safe side haha). I know as a dev you are worried about over modding with idea of adding in another thirty girls but i say if your enthusiastic about adding in that many more then go ahead! I would advice more locations though if that is to be the case - ironic after just finishing every location thus far you could find yourself needing to add more but well those thirty girls would need to have something to do or places to be in their downtime. Places like say an Arcade for example would make the most sense given the generally younger age of the majority of the women on the island, a cinema would make sense too or even a casino for the older ladies. Still if that is not desirable i do feel some locations are kinda needing fleshed out anyway - like the beaches for example. The public beach barely has any visitors that i have noticed despite potential activities that could take place there from Volleyball (bikini outfits for the win!) to someone acting as a lifeguard there in her downtime.

Speaking of potential 30 girls i assume that includes ideas for the trademark "landlady" and "room mate" type of characters? Those always tend to be popular with the masses around here lol. Either way this game is stellar stuff for what is clearly a passion project - a lot of hard work and dedication has gone into this and most of the girls actually are pretty distinct and unique which is a hard act to pull off when juggling so many characters. Some do need more fleshing out but that will naturally come with future updates and i think Dawn and Inana are perhaps the one i'm currently looking most forward to seeing more of.

The Public Baths are located inside the Gym located Downtown.



"Middle of night" hints appear to be less than helpful. I will need to wordsmith that better.

Here's a full explanation, in case somebody has a more succinct way of describing it:

1) The event is checked for half-way through the sleep cycle.

a) 4 hour sleep will check 2 hours after going to sleep
b) 8 hour sleep will check 4 hours after going to sleep
c) 12 hour sleep will check 6 hours after going to sleep.
d) note: 1 to 2 hour naps do not check for events.

2) A "middle of night" event from 2am to 4am (there are a couple) will require sleeping at a time and for a duration in which the midpoint of sleeping occurs between 2am and 4am. For example:

a) 4 hour sleep would need to start between midnight and 2am
b) 8 hour sleep would need to start between 10pm and midnight
c) 12 hour sleep would need to start between 8pm and 10pm.

I need to write the hint in a way that makes more sense. Perhaps I should just give the 8 hour sleep hours? For example, instead of "middle of night sleep 2am to 4am" it would be "sleep in Master Bedroom for 8 hours from 10pm to midnight"? Would that work? To note: Sex Hints, by their very nature, do not include each and every way for them to occur, but just the easiest/most common way.

Updated my compressed Android port of Polyturnon to v0.11.

Got some basic gestures loaded in: swipe up for save menu, swipe down to hide UI, swipe left to rollback and swipe right to skip. Save files are now stored in the Documents folder. This sometimes means that you may need to close and re-open the port after installing so the save folder is properly created.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the port and I'll see what I can do to get them sorted.
