The download I got had the patch already in it so is why I did not need it, thanks for the heads up on this.

Sorry I posted wrong the patch is needed and it works for all updates going forward, as of now that is.
I'm enjoying this so far, both the art and the writing. I don't mind a slower pace when the setting and story grab me (which this has so far). Couple of things though; (ooohh, here we go!)
The scene on day 2 where you're having a drink with Raisa, an option where you can either "Tell her what she wants to hear (dom)" or "Maybe I should apologize (sub)" pops up. Is the dom/sub tags for Raisa or for Biorn? I assume they're for Biorn, where the first option is Biorn doms Raisa, with the second option being Raisa doms Biorn, but both paths read like you're being kind of submissive. Which half got me thinking maybe the (dom) and (sub) tags are aimed at Raisa, not Biorn (ie: "Tell her what she wants to hear (Raisa dom)" and "Maybe I should apologize (Raisa sub)". I'm probably overthinking it, but I have seen this sometimes written to mean one way, and other times to mean the other, which leads to my confusion.
TBH, the main reason I'm posting this bit is, because of the above, I cracked open the script file (Hello to you too!) to have a look at the variables for that selection, and noticed that option one (dom) sets "day002_raisa_dom = True" and option two (sub) sets "day002_creek_dom = False" (note one says raisa, the other says creek). This might be exactly what you meant to do, I just though it odd that it's not the same variable with a straight true/false setting.
Second bit is a (very) mild critique. Day one, when Biorn and Eryn undress before bathing, their sprites are facing each other, making me think "Ok, they're fine seeing each other naked". Then on day two, Eryn specifically indicates that she doesn't want Biorn seeing her naked (close/cover your eyes), which conflicts with the first impression from day one. I'd suggest perhaps making the undressing sprites on day one face away from each other, just to indicate that they're not watching each other strip.
Either way, good luck and stay classy.

It's meant to be a MC as the dom route, but that whole scene is going to be rewritten. The creek_dom varaiable was a typo, and as of v0.07 there's a totally different system for tracking variables that's a lot easier to keep up with. They all just have generic names now and are declared false en masse on boot so we don't have issues with saves from old versions not working or crashes in the replay gallery.
Totally agree on the creek scene too. Now that we have poseable sprites we updated the scene to have them both covering up, but that whole sprite animation is a placeholder for a future render.
The links here on F95 should be safe, mega is my original link and the rest are from the site upload team. Version 0.06 was the last build I did with an older version of RenPy that has been known to throw false positives on some antivirus software when you use a custom icon for the exe file. The latest version of RenPy fixed the problem, so all of my builds version 0.07 and up shouldn't give any more issues.
I'm having this issue in this 2 scenes of the game, it doesn't matter if graphics are on smooth with 4d3d3d3d disabled, the screen blink with the particles moving... In the bath scene if text is skipped with CTRL during that doesn't blink. Those are the only issues i experiment in v0.06

Weird, it looks like the transparency mask on the particles isn't working for some reason and it's just blocking everything behind it. I'll see if I can figure it out. Worst case scenario I'll just add an option to disable those effects.

I'm loving this game specially the eryn character and how the routine everyday works with her. Congrats to the dev
Thanks, we're trying to put a lot of effort into the world and characters.
Nothing exciting yet but we're still on track for a release within the next few weeks. I found out a shortcut I took with positioning layers on the screen was causing major performance issues and even crashes for some players, so I've been going through and manually positioning things the right way but it's really boring and takes forever. While I'm doing that I'm also re-saving every image as a lossless .webm file instead of a .png to cut file sizes in half. It's one of those things that's really time consuming and goes unnoticed, but it needs to be done. We did finish updating all of the character sprites to the new poseable system and added the rest of the pregnancy morphs for everyone though. We also reworked & beautified the rest of the character's faces.
It is, not long ago it was updated. Stay tune.
FYI We're on the home stretch for the next update and should be ready to publish it between Sunday and Tuesday.
