Ferdafs is one guy, don't you think you'd be able to make something as good if not better if you got some help from people that follow your work?
I've already gone into detail about this a few times (feel free to search out past post if you're curious), but the short version is: I'm still just one person, and finding a full time, long term artist hasn't worked out well for me.

Doing stuff like this is a hobby, replacing other things (such as playing games). Making it a full time job isn't something I have any interest in. Sorry :(

seems like the dev has forgotten tricia's plot, and im only at day 24.
1. in the beginning tricia tells mc shes started most of the rumors about her self thats shes not a virgin and has suck of half the school, at day 24 summer is shocked to hear tricia say shes a virgin and says she thought that her being a virgin was a rumor, but when summer licked her in the bathroom a few days before and confirms that shes a virgin, so why would she be shocked?
2. also when summer licks tricia in the bathroom, tricia says shes never been lick by a girl before, but morticia and tricia licked eachother in mall days before.

Impressed this thing is 30+ hours but in 1gb. I've seen releases of 0.4 something or others with 3 hours of gameplay and 10gb files.

Thanks for letting me know!

So~ this is a weird game. I'm re-adapting a story from another project, and sometimes stuff gets... mixed up, or changed. I've done my best to avoid rippled effects with changes, but every now and then they slip through. I'm just one person and I rarely fully replay the whole game anymore, so most fixes come from players. (at least one of these issues has been in the game for, well almost the start, and no one brought it up, so I'm not the only one that missed it).

I can't find Tricia ever telling Morty she isn't a Virgin (or I'm miss reading your comment). If that line is somewhere can you let me know the specific line? Her being a virgin is a major element of her story.

Changed Summer's line about her "feeling" that Tricia is a virgin during the bathroom Blackmail scene.

2. also when summer licks tricia in the bathroom, tricia says shes never been lick by a girl before, but morticia and tricia licked eachother in mall days before.
Changed Tricia's comment about never getting licked by a girl before.

The Tricia/Morticia scene (even though it's in a previous day) was added to the game after. Due to several factors, it went into a past day, resulting in an erroneous line (hey, the game is 500k words long, I can't remember every line).


Impressed this thing is 30+ hours but in 1gb. I've seen releases of 0.4 something or others with 3 hours of gameplay and 10gb files.
It's actually a fair bit longer than 30 hours at this point, that's where it was when it released 5 years ago. I think it's closer to 70ish hours now, depending on how fast you read/how much you skip. But, honestly, I haven't replayed the whole thing for a while and timed it again, who has the time! (If use the day selector and choose r1.0 vs r4.1E you'll see how many days of content has been added since the game originally released).

Part of why it's so "small" has to do with two things: compression (the main game is compressed, where most devs release their game uncompressed and someone here makes a compressed version after (thank you site compressors!!!), and image slicing. These two things combine to make the 26,000+ images much smaller than they would otherwise be.

In fact, the biggest part of the game are the animations, which are just video files. Even compressed they are 750MBs of that 1GB. If I had a way to do them as in-game animations (and I've wasted a LOT of time trying) instead of video files, the game would be closer to 500MBs.

r4.2 - What and When?
It's been a few days and so far no major game breaking bugs (that anyone has told me about). So, I guess it's time to talk about what's next! And when you can expect it!

It has been a lonnnng time since I did one of these (the last one I could find was back in Jun... of 2024! But we haven't had a lot of Ferdafs updates, so that makes sense...). This one is going to be a bit different than usual, as I have several things I want to touch on. Each topic is in it's own spoiler (although contains no actual spoilers) so feel free to read only the ones you have interest in (or none of them, or the whole thing, choose your own adventure!)

I did some generations using ferdafs style I might see if I can make a better lora at somepoint let me know if any of them are useable feel free to use my work to generate some yourself, main thing i do is gimp edit a few times for image to image to get a more accurate image, my civitai name is the same here.

I've found generated content to be~ not great (both for games and in general). While I haven't invested a lot of time in it (maybe 100~ish hours or so), the attempts I have made produced unusable results. The three main issues I've come up against are: style, consistency, and multiple characters (or rather, lack there of).

Most of the loras are tuned to "the show" (or some odd hyper-real version of the characters), which doesn't match Ferdafs style, and are thus unusable in the game. Shot-to-shot it's hard to get them to make something that matches (not just characters, but backgrounds). Additionally, shots with more than one character (say, Summer and Morty), just never seem to work, never mind a third or fourth character.

Without a lot of work (that I don't really have the skill to do), what I get out, I can't use. I did take a look at your profile on Civitai, but I don't see anything there matching the game style. (if you have examples you really want to share, we can do it in a private conversation instead of flooding the thread).

Lastly, my interest in "continuing" the game on my own simply isn't there. That was never (and still isn't) the goal of this project. I don't have the drive to write more scenes, nor do more work (outside of the occasional porting of content). The creative side has not been fun for me. Outside of collabs with people, I'm pretty much done making my "own" stuff for a long while.

all good (y) will let you know if i run into more like this.

I can't find Tricia ever telling Morty she isn't a Virgin (or I'm miss reading your comment). If that line is somewhere can you let me know the specific line? Her being a virgin is a major element of her story.
its in day 7 after they leave the church. morty finds out shes a virgin and morty says "But... there are so many rumors in school about who you've slept with...", she tells him they are rumors that she mostly started.
changing this line would not fit her plot since the rumors is about her being a slut.

Changed Summer's line about her "feeling" that Tricia is a virgin during the bathroom Blackmail scene.
btw your changing the wrong thing here, summer finding out she a virgin in that scene makes sense.
you only need to change the fact that shes shocked at day 24, or you could keep the fact shes shocked and add a line where she's thinking to herself "i kinda figured since you forced me to lick you" or something like that, add it onto or after summer says "Wait, for real?" so that she just pretends to be shocked.

its only 2 lines right after that you would need to changed, if you want it to make sense with the fact the rumors about her, is her being a slut and not a virgin.
summer says "i thought you still being a virgin was just a rumor you spread to make yourself look good"
could change this to "well the rumors says otherwise" or maybe you can come up with something better.
then tricia says "why would i need to do that? i already look amazing"
change this to the same line she told morty in day 7, "Exactly! All rumors, and i started most of them."

I see, the lines in conflict are in day 24. With her telling Morty one thing, and Summer another (not sure if that's an issue from the original or an editing artifact). Either way, I've slightly altered the dialogue:

I think having Summer "hear" that Tricia is a virgin is better than her "feeling" she is. So I opted to change the earlier line and keep the latter interaction.

works aswell
tho summer is a girl herself who just lost hers days before, so her licking tricia and noticing it makes more sense to me atleast.

I just want to speak out a big kudos to you Night Mirror for your dedicated post on OP about the tags and genres. Writing down what to expect for each of them.

This is especially helpfull for the pregnancy tag since this will always be a 50/50 coin toss on this site if you get the content you want to see as a pregnant content enjoyer without asking the same questions over and over again. Pregnant not impregnation xD

On a side note: Will you still keep up with the gallery mod for Mity's 18titans series?

Nope, someone already made a pretty good gallery mod for FET (even if they are on break at the moment). Also, yes, code is way too much for me to take on.
I think I know the one you're talking about, and I thought I saw the guy working on it saying they were dropping it. Maybe I'm wrong
