Hi everyone, I can't seem to get this application working on JoiPlay for the Android would there be a reason for this? I have tried instaling with and without the patch but it just doesn't seem to want to open.
The normal unmodded game seems to work just fine.

The Expanded mod works for the 0.984h version of the game, whereas the vanilla version is at 0.998c. The guys behind the Expanded had a turbulent story and basically haven't released any new updates, so you'll have to decide wether you want to play the first 4 girls with Expanded stuff, or the whole cast with vanilla stuff.
Btw, to meet Mystique you have to go to her hideout which is unlocked in the map once you've met her.
what happeend between the guys of the expanded mod?

Oni did a complete rewrite of the game code in version .99 which meant that the modders would have to redo the entire mod.

So they decided to wait for Oni to settle down and finish rewriting the code and for it to be stable before they started working on the mod to adapt it to the new code. Unfortunately Oni never really finished rewriting the code so that it was stable and constantly changes it every version, and Oni has been milking his Patreon money by barely doing any work on the game for months on end.

So the modders are still waiting for Oni to stabilize the game code which probably isn't going to happen anytime.

I heard the Expanded guys fell off a little bit due to irl and because this wasn't done for revenue so they had other stuff to do and now are in a forever waiting for someone to take the role of artist or programmer or something.

Thank You for the response

Anyone know what happened to the discord? Can't see anything anymore in any channel. I have the Team Rogue and Student roles. Discord_E0PNNokgeC.png

maybe the mod finally died :(((
Not really, no.
The Discord got restructured from the ground up pretty recently, that would include visibility permissions given to users and as a result it can happen that something borked up along the lines for a handful of people. The discord is still just as active as it was prior though. If I were to hazard a guess, simply leaving and re-joining should fix the most blatant issues.

Those have always been the core issues at hand - the Expanded Crew is doing this in their free time and they still have real live obligations to follow first and foremost, yet parts of the community seem to expect these guys to do nothing but work on the mod 24/7. That is just unrealistic thinking here. Worry not though, this isn't exactly "dead" - there's still work being done on the mod, but it's simply taking time.
People also underestimate just how much work it actually is to mod this game specifically. This isn't as clear-cut as modding many other Ren'Py games and that has been shown time and time again, simply because the codebase is so wonky to begin with.
I assume this is also why the Expanded Crew is constantly looking for any extra set of hands on deck.

Thanks for your answer. I asume you are related to the project or at least follow it's steps closely. Do you know where they are currently in the development? Tiny mod was released a year ago or so, and when it came out I thought they were getting closer to release an Expanded version for the most recent update, but nothing else came out since then.

Well, my relation is simply that I've been asked by pervy to keep an eye out on the Thread here, in order to answer the questions that pop up and occasionally relay information on developments from the mod over to here. This brings me nicely to that same relaying of information:
It had quieted down a bit - which is also why I haven't been showing up as often as I should've done - but things are seemingly picking up again. The git they use has seen quite a bit of movement but since I'm not part of any team and just here to deliver information, all I have is what basically amounts to an onlooker's perspective. I actually have to ask Pervy about that specifically and see where the team stands.

Now, onto that Tinymod you mentioned. TinyManhood was the one who decided to make a "minimalist port" of the Expanded Mod to the newest vanilla version available, and "minimalist" fits the bill nicely, as it had features missing that were existing in prior versions of the Expanded Mod, but it had a nice expansion on clothing pieces to deliver. If memory serves right, the initial idea behind it was to expand on that small port and keep that updated, while in the meantime the guys actively doing work on the big thing can concentrate on that more or less exclusively. I think Tiny was however getting quite busy with real life instead and that idea had to then again be dropped - real life obligations seems to be the big bundle of issues when it comes to modding this game apparently, as has been seen with other projects being picked up and then dropped.

Thanks again. It really seems it's tough for the guys with issues popping up every now and then. But I'm really glad they picked it up again, I hope this time they can finish it and deliver. Because I admit that I still play more often the Expanded version than the current vanilla, but the sheer amount of girls and little things is starting to take an advantage on the older but more fleshed out mod. Keep us updated, mate! (y)

I'm pretty new to this mod but, how far along is this mod to the main game? Are all girls in this mod?
It's more than two years outdated. You only have up to Laura, and the girls don't have some of the poses that were added lated on, like the Laura's footjob. However, everyone, and especially Rogue, have more clothing options, Rogue, Kitty and Laura can actually tan and have tanlines at the pool (although Laura's tan gives crashes, so I can't recomend it) and girls can send you nudes. It's also got cheats with draggable bars and stuff. There is also Mystique, too, but her design isn't as good as everyone else's. There is no mall and no Halloween event either.
