I have no idea which version you are playing, but ... to those of you who want to play the latest version, where saving should be fixed and a few other things (check the changelog) it can be found

You must be registered to see the links

This is the last version that I will make available anywhere until the porting has been done.
And you probably should start out by deleting all saves before you begin playing again, just to make sure that some residual save issues.
Do remember that 0.04 will require you to do another play through to get the new save system working.
All in all, I would suggest holding off playing until 0.04 is released and/or finds its way to these pages.

The game saves to the Window registry at the moment, but that will change when I have ported the game to the new Unity asset.

Have a good one, and thanks for playing.

Would not it be better if you changed the game engine to Renpy? Is there a reason to use the Unity engine in particular? The game takes too long if you want to play the game again or go in different ways.Since the save files are incompatible with future versions, ''I'm'' bored when I see(play) the same thing every time

Ren'Py is scripting-heavy, while Unity is more visual to program in. The dev has stated that they're more comfortable with a Unity-based framework.

 

[Kaffekop]

Hey there

I do indeed find Ren'Py way to difficult to work with and I'm a story teller, not a coder (by any stretch of the word), so I do use the asset and engine, I have the least hassle with. I love drag'n-drop interfaces when making something like VN's.

I have an ETA on 0.04. I'm planning a release on 02/05-2018, to my top tiered pledgers, with a release to my other pledgers five days later. How fast it gets here, is up the uploader.

Cheers - Kaffekop

 

[secrecy]

Just hope with the new version there will be no locked content just at the start of the game. I mean, if first day you choose to peek or follow any member of your family, the other ones are locked forever for most if not all spicy content.

I think is a big mistake that leads to many different saved games if you want to get a decent % of the game unlocked. And it gets worse as you get to know more characters because there are always some routes unavailable forever.

I am not asking for a linear game. But it is frustrating to know you are missing a great amount of content and cannot undo that. Game is very good but could be much better if you could follow more storylines at the same time.

 

[evildead]

any news on when will the update be out that gives us new stuff to do and not just fixes

 

[bobdillan]

Hi there.
I didn't even remember that I had an account here, until a friend of mine found that my work had been posted within this forum. So I just had to take a peek and introduce myself as the creator of this work in progress.
Thank you for your kind words and I sincerely hope that I can live up to the expectations voiced by you.

Just to answer a few questions, off the top of my head:
I tried my hands on Ren'py, but my mind just couldn't wrap itself around it. Too much coding, and I'm not a coder, by any stretch of the term. Everything I currently do, is done without doing a single line of coding.

About the rehab thing, I know a little about alcoholics, as I was married to one for 16 years, and then ended up living with one more for another 8 years. Mary and Jocelyn didn't really reach the state of alcoholism. They "just" went out of their way to drown their sorrows - which is bad enough, don't get me wrong here.
I left the whole narcotics scene some 30 years ago and I haven't really kept myself up to date on the subject. But I guess, I could change Nathalies addiction to something with a little more umph, so to speak. Like... meth?

Thank you for finding my models "hot". I try my best to give each and everyone of them a personal touch. Mary for instance, was modelled/dialed in, after a girlfriend I had when I was 19. I toned down her tits a bit, because we all know, that things look a lot better using the nostalgic glasses.

About the assets used. Well, Daz only has so many and as I'm not a Zbrush, Blender, what-ever modeller, I have to make due with what I can afford and then make the best of it.

Anyways, I have to get going and work some more on the next update. You all have a good one.

Cheers - Kaffekop

just out of curiosity how old are you? cause that is some life lived knowledge right there. my guess would be 40s or 50s since narcotics 30 years ago could be from 15-20 depending on how young you started. also feel free to not answer if this is too personal, i am just curious of the age range there is for this kind of thing. also loving the game, very easy to get engrossed into.

 

[bobdillan]

just a tip, if you use cocaine, you should remove the part where she has some in her bags, the last thing an addict needs is the actual drug they were addicted to. while ppl are fond of saying alcohol and tobacco addiction are the same as heroin, cocaine addictions, they're not. the former can keep something from their former life around as a reminder to not do it, but the latter can't get anywhere near it without doing it. it's something to do with the particular receptors in the brain. sometimes even just talking about it is enough to send them back into it.

well from a technical standpoint all addictions in a certain aspect are the same.... they abuse dopamine in the brain, that being said a lot of drugs have other chemical affects, and the way they abuse dopamine is very differen't for example cocaine give you a massive hit and then drop dramatically right after, where as porn addiction hits the same height that sex does however it stays at that height for hours even after having stopped watching or had a form of release (bear in mind I am talking about porn addiction here, viewership could be different but i suggest keep it in moderation) and this massively affects willpower (since the brain uses dopamine for that) and so in bad cases people can get symptoms of depression, add like symptoms and in about half the cases erectile dysfunction, that being said there is nothing to worry about because to get rid of any symptoms just go cold turkey and in 3-6 months back to complete normal (weirdly enough in older men it takes a shorter amount of time than younger). now that being said it is only symptoms not actual depression or add as when these symptoms have been treated as if they were the real thing nothing would help as the drugs are designed to go for the cause and since the cause isn't actual depression or add (which is genetic btw) they do little to nothing. also this isn't just limited to porn, but can apply to any addiction, besides the erectile dysfunction part tho. porn addiction is just one of the worst and one of the hardest to break out of since it has quite a vice grip on the mind, cause the male brain hasn't properly adapted over generations to account for seeing so many different woman in such intimate ways in a period of a day from a period of a lifetime (the brain isn't very good at making a difference between what is on a screen and what is memory, by that i mean the subconscious systems conscious is easy to tell the difference). If you are woundering how I know so much, it is because I myself am a porn addict, but I am working on it most important thing to anyone reading who has any form of addiction, DON'T beat yourself up about it, that just makes it worse. and chances are you will relapse, most people who go full cold turkey usually have had multiple if not hundreds of attempts, the important thing with addictions is that you try. Now fyi I am not trying to demonise porn, although tbh it isn't too hard to do when one looks at the addiction to it, but hey you can apply that bullshit logic to anything an everything, sex, gaming, tv, alchohol, food anything you can get addicted to really. just some informative potentially useless knowledge for most that being said I think porn games are probably the best for of porn for someone with a porn addiction since a lot of them are more grounded in reality with a story and a gradual build up instead of instant gratification. that being said it is still fantasy and irl takes months not minutes XD. unless you are Casanova. anyway just thought i would finish of with "this is not attacking porn or trying to hate on porn." if you really want to know my personal opinion.... porn is bad in the long run, yeah i get dudes will dabble but in a proper relationship like marriage should have no place because of the psychological affects on the mind over time. that being said that is my opinion feel free to ignore it and just take the unbiased part of this comment or as unbiased as I could possibly be emulating my logic side. I am a firm believer in anything in moderation, so I don't rule out porn as a whole for everyone, just for me because of how I get addicted and waste hours and hours. that being said I won't be going anywhere anytime soon got bigger shit to worry about in my life first XD like getting a fucking job :S

Hey
Not too personal at all. I'm 50 years old and yeah, I dabbled with a group of "friends" back in the eighties, but were I stuck with weed, the others drifted off to more potent fun - cocaine and eventually heroine. When we couldn't remain "friends" if I didn't follow them into oblivion (my perception of cocaine and heroin), I walked away and let them have their fun.
Learned a few years back, that only three of them are still alive (we were seven). The two are living from day to day, in the company of needles, and the last one managed to get clean and works as an addiction counselor (I think it's called). Trying to impart knowledge to the youngsters of today.
The rest of them have passed on to greener pastures and yes ... they all died from the needle. Seen in that perspective, I count myself lucky to have the ability, to just walk away from these things and leave it behind - that being drugs, alcohol, porn ... any addiction really.

Thanks for playing and I hope that I can keep you interested in the story.

Cheers - Kaffekop

thanks for your openness and reply, and I will be sure to keep an eye on this game.

heh oblivion, i call them the 'walking dead' ever actually looked at a crackhead's eyes? completely dead inside, it's like a zombie instead of saying brains they say got a rock?
almost all junkies are the same be it, heroin, cocaine, crack, alcohol. always ending up bumming for that next hit, most often begging and willing to do anything to get a few bucks to get that next hit. their soul is dead, the light is gone from their eyes, hence walking dead.

Hi.
First off, thanks for playing.
I do understand the feeling of annoyance with being locked out of certain content, but in a story such as this, time moves along when you make a choice and thus you get to witness some things down one route, while you have to sacrifice witnessing something else, that would happen, down another route.
I'm trying to make this as non-linear as I can (giving the restrictions of time in the real), but it is still a story were the choice you make has a significant impact on the progression of the story and how it unfolds. I may discover that I'm being too ambitious about this part, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there - if I can cross it.
I hope this rambling makes some kind of sense.

On another note.
I'm finally done porting the existing game to the other vn asset within Unity. I'll do some testing today before I dive into working on 0.04 over the weekend. I've already told the kids and gf, that they should stay out of my hair this weekend, so I can focus on finishing 0.04.
Images are almost done and I "just" need to write dialogues.

Anyways, you all have a good one.

Cheers - Kaffekop

Is there at least a walkthrough? Thanks!

 

[Kaffekop]

Is there at least a walkthrough? Thanks!

No walkthrough as of yet. I haven't had the time to do anything like that.
I hope, that I will be able to do something like that for 0.05, but I wouldn't hold my breath, It's not high on my list of needs-to-be-done things.

And on another note: I have to postpone the release of 0.04 for another two days.
