Hello there!
Thank you everyone for playing my little game, I can see that the new quest system as I call it, or the "event-roaming(tm)" (I like it!) made you react.
So, to be perfectly clear, there is not, and will never be free roaming, or grinding in the game.
You now have a map. And you have the scenes of the episode on the map. You can play them in the order you like, if you want to play them, and you can even play each scene as many times as you want.
You don't have to visit locations to go further in the game.
You don't have to play several times a quest to go further in the story.
What I wanted to do with this system is:
- Letting players playing the scenes they like as many times as they want.
- Letting players NOT playing a scene with a character they don't like.
- Adding a gallery page with a fun way to unlock the images (cards)
- Allowing me to release a scene as soon as I finished one.
So, it was a lot of work. I had to learn how to code a map, how to code a gallery page, how to code cards which unlock the images, etc...
It took time I know, and as you may know, I'm working on Secrets on my free time.
I'm a 40+ guys with a family and an everyday work. I don't have much free time actually, and I dedicate it to my kids first, and to the game.
This new way of doing things have allowed me to release an update 3 weeks only after the previous one! Ok, it's a small quest (15/20 minutes of playtime), but it's a first. And Laure's quest didn't need a lot of content, but it was important you knew Laure because she's the most important secondary character for the story.
Next quest with Zoé will be longer, two or three time longer than Lucy's quest. And there will be 3 sex scenes on this one. I hope to release it within a month.
As always on my way of doing things, I spend a lot of time on scenery. I could use empty rooms to tell my story but that's not my way of doing things. My images need to have a lot of content to fit with the stories of Secrets.
So, it takes time to render on a computer.
And it takes time to tell a story that large.
I'm continually looking for solution to accelerate the regularity of the releases. Buying a new PC is one, working with a render farm is another, working on a distant computer is also another.
With time, I can only improve myself, and I will be able to release like a pro soon.
But for now, don't forget I'm still learning
And I know my game need proofreading. I'm totally aware of this, even if it's not that bad really, I'm taking care of this too.
I had two great proofreaders who have worked on their free time on the game, and without asking anything in return.
I'm so thankful to them, but they don't have enough time to work continuously on the game.
So, give me time, and you won't be disappointed
And I can assure you of one thing, my game is not going to die soon
Thank you so much!

It's a trap! No, sorry, it's a bug! I'm really sorry for that, I missed that one, and it is now fixed in last update (v2.1).
So, I explained above about the new system. This system is for episode 3 only. Episode 4 will be told the classic way. There will be 8 episodes of Secrets. Episode 1,2,3 introduces the story and the characters. Episode 4 will get you into action. Episode 5 will reveal your past, and episode 6, 7, and 8 will make you work to resolve the whole fucking situation!
Yeah, sorry for this bug, and thank you, "chosen" is now written correctlyI think I've taken a wrong turn somewhere, where did I screw up?

EDIT: Nevermind, it seems to stay there until you do Julia's quest, then it changes depending on your choice. Probably a small oversight.
Oh my God, I love it! With her face in the background, you may not have done it on purpose @Krull , but you knew how to seize something of her personality. (No, she's not a villain)
Thank you so much!

@Eric X. I noticed something that puzzle me: in the map section on the summary of the choises of my game says:
"You have choosed to not go further with Louise, you will never be in a romantic relationship with her".
When did I make that choice? I don't remember anything like that. Can you enlighten me?

As I said earlier in this thread, I think that's just a bug. The decision is incredibly obvious and comes later on in the game.
Hey! What's wrong with having to click through empty rooms 18 hours a day and wasting time? It's a perfect system with no flaws!
Your system's working fine and may even prove superior to others in time. Thanks for a great game <3
In episode 1, when you are in her car, with your hand on her thigh, you had the choice to go further or remove your hand. If you have removed your hand, it would explained why you have this in the stats.

Wow, it's that early a decision? I thought it was related to her last quest.. Well, I've been deceiving people in this thread :<
I won't fail you on thisHottie Cop Babe is my future wife in this game..do NOT deny me dev
But I thought Lucy's stolen your heart?I'm thinking about adding another possibility to open her route, because there will be important scenes with her...

No I never did such thing, I went all the way to the car hood scene and I even kissed her after she left me in front of Julia's house, waiting for a date with her, the next thing I know is that she came in my bedroom telling me she got the promotion, that's it.
I guess it's a bug as @TheKingCobra said.

That's a good point, is it a new variable that may not have set properly during load? Or maybe the save botched for another reason :S@Gwinb777 I just play a full game with skip and paying attention to go further with Louise, and everything is normal to me, I can see in the stats I've opened her route, and we did lots of things in my room
I'm sorry, try another save maybe?
