That's annoying. I'll fix it now. Thanks for telling me.
One of the ways I turned 0.10 into 0.09 was to use blockers. Basically use an if which will never go to the part which causes the crash (basically 0.10 stuff is missing becuase you're playing 0.09). Problem is that I'm an idiot and did the check the wrong way around. Idiot.

There are a few issues in the molest interaction that I need to fix, as well as with images for the film interaction. I'll work on these tomorrow.

For those who like their sister:

Enjoy
I'd love some feedback on the sister mod, especially the backstory which you learn when talking to Sarah on the sofa.

Here's my "squashed like bug" (compressed) version.

Lossy compression is used. (means some, image/audio/video quality may be reduced to make files smaller)
I have a 27" monitor and I rarely notice any difference but you may, so, if you don't like it, feel free to download the original...

The difficulty is finding a way to make it challenging but not boring. The largest issue is the vast variance in players. Everyone wants something different. Some people speak different languages so you have to be really clear, but then it's too obvious and thus boring.

What even is challenge? Is it based on how long it takes? How much you had to think? How many times you failed? I'm trying to balance 0.09/0.10 well, but it's hard by myself because I don't know how everyone will play it and what they'll try. I'm not having other's test it because I really don't want it leaked before I'm happy with it.

I feel like a good solution to challenge, is secrets. If you know that a scene exists, but it's not obvious how to find it, then when you do find it, it should feel more rewarding. If this is the case for every scene, then you have an issue. It should only be a few special scenes. If it's easy for you to find a scene, but hard for you to find every scene, then more players get what they want.

That's my opinion anyway, we'll see how much people enjoy it in a few days.
I get your point - but up to now I never saw a challenging game in this genre. Most of them are just boring and tedious. Your game has the same problem. There is no real gameplay. Pick clothes, go to work, go to library, go home, on couch, homework, sleep - and repeat. Maybe some ppl have fun with that. For me this is no gameplay. It is work - boring work. I work to unlock new scenes ever now and then.

Most games in this genre are just filled with busywork for no good reason. I get what you want, but that needs more gameplay. A quite good example might be the really old game "Princess Maker 2" - that is what most of these kind of dating and/or corruption games want to be. (that was no adult game, patched it had some nudity i think.) The game itself didnt have that much gameplay (depended of the path you played. when you send the princess on adventures there was a rpg game in it. And you had similar busy work like in these games (like yours) but with more impact. You send the child to jobs and her stats and what job she did most, changed the ending. Not very complex but for the several endings and random events it was quite fun.

The small story seems to be interesting and the renders are fine, but not enough for me to endure the monotonous playstyle. I am more a fan of story driven games (like the ones in my sig)

I misread the title as "Slapping Her Furniture".

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
Don't be disappointed yet. Domination path: you can slap her ass while she's bent over furniture. That totally counts.
Maybe if you have bad aim you'll spank the odd chair or couch?

ShF may have the visual novel tag on here, but it isn't one and it doesn't aim to be. Story is something that I'm focusing more on now and going forward. 0.11 will probably have the first date, which will be a mini VN within the game. That's my current plan anyway. But yeah, it's not for everyone. Nothing is.

I just played the old Version for the first time last week and can say this is a huge improvement. I'm playing with the Sister Patch and like the Story so far. I hope in future versions there is more to do with her on the weekends and maybe a chance to get rid of birth control with higher levels. I'm looking forward to shape her future some more :FeelsGoodMan:

Thanks. Yeah, the weekends are rather bare right now. I need to add a new location or two so you can go and discover what Sarah is doing. Dates will also likely happen on weekends. I also plan on exhibitionism which will likely occur at weekends too. I'm not good at outdoor renders yet though, so it may be a while before that's added.

I spent about 6 hours playing yesterday and I noticed that Sarah's moods are very fond of being static. I went through a phase of her always being horny, but also one where she was always sad. I'm going to look into the numbers a bit more to see if I can improve it. Also, I want to give the player more control over Sarah's moods. Basically I want to give you better ways to make her happy/horny with new conversations, gifts and perhaps a few other things.

Having things like buying chocolate to improve her mood is a nice to have for progression.

Also I'm at a level where it says i can give her a dildo to play but have to option of actually giving it to her. Could be a bug FIY.

If you buy it, she gets it automatically. I need to re-add the giving gifts interaction so you can actually give things to her instead.
