None of the new videos play on my old save, only the .gifs and there are multiple errors in the new content.
With all of the video changes, the update only link will not let the game work properly. You'll have to download the full game link, but old saves should work ok once you've done that.

Same issues here. Karlee/India non-functional. Katarina videos not functioning either so far.

EDIT: Xev showed up and the Suburbs is broken.

Okay this update broke much more than just the dreams. Xev content not only has no images but also an endless loop you cannot get out of. Not sure if this is because of old saves or just bugs.

I've downloaded the new version plus the "bug-fix" and started a new game and I cannot progress with India. When I visit here in the afternoon and try to use the app on her, it just consumes ALL of my charges and says that I need to attune the app to her first. I've tried using the F12 console to just give myself 1000 charge, and trying to attune to India consumed all of it.

IIRC the rent seeking parasites tried to shake down the Mozilla foundation for payola if they were to include the mp4 format in their product. I suspect they also tried the same extortion on Opera. Both outfits told them to go pound sand. If you want to include the support in your browser it will be up to you to find and download a plugin (probably for vlc) to handle it. The what and where of those add-ins will depend on your O/S. Winders and Mac folk will probably find stuff in their native browsers that are not named Chrome or Firefox since both outfits are members of that rent seeking consortium. They can also download media players from those sources that can plug into the other browsers.

Linux folk will not have mp4 support directly from their distro because of the above extortion. You may need to tickle your package manager with an additional license acceptance in order to add a repo for commercial or non-gpl licensed software. I'm a Gentoo guy so I add a USE flag and ACCEPT_LICENSE stanza to my make.conf for MP4. That way all of the media players, firefox and chromium will get built with it and the corporate parasites can go fuck themselves since I'm just a single end user.

Link to Xev's house is broken, space is missing between " and tabindex, in text editor at least.
Also on Opera and Firefox the videos don't show up at all, works fine with edge and chrome. The space where the video should be is there, but it's just plain background color.

Hey Dev. just to let you know there is a better way to hack twine games instead of opening the browser console every time at the cost of reduced screen size. Let me know if you want it posted her or not. Originally its a very very old post here in F95zone it self.

Downloaded this for the first time (base + fix) and the game is not advancing at all. It says visit mom in her office in the afternoon, I'm fully attuned but it just says that I need to attune.

Sister wasn't even in the bathroom thursday morning so I can't advance that either.

Oh they work just fine. Your browser just doesn't support mp4 as noted by my posts above.
I wouldn't say they work just fine. They don't work in 2 browsers with not a huge market share, but still, they don't work. In a lot of cases I'd just say that its the browser/company behind the browser fault, but that would be when they use old tech/standards that slow down progress. Going that far while talking about porn game is a little much but still. In this case, as u pointed out, those browsers don't support mp4 natively because it's not a free standard, and u have to pay someone to use it in your software. And if that standard came with any important benefits I would be all for it. But looking at the sentiment in this forum, with next to no knowledge about the technical side of those formats, it looks like webm offers: similar/same quality, with lower file size and better compatibility.

Dev also said that he watched a tutorial how to resize videos, and resizing is at least a part why the change happened. Recently I tried Shortcut video editor and it seams that changing the new, edited file from mp4 to webm is only choose different file extension from a list. I'd love to stop using Opera and change to some other browser, but most of them have little annoyances, and to those from Opera, I'm at least used to.

So I just downloaded this for the first time with v0.14 and the 14.1 update patch yesterday, and then there's apparently a 14.2 today that fixes broken content. Is there any way to get the bugfix without downloading the entire thing again? I can't exactly go around downloading a gigabyte-or-more game every few hours.

Also, is the sissification content optional/avoidable? And do any of the girls ever get to the point where your control over them is acknowledged, or is it just that you're using this app as a plot device to generic porn plots/scenes?

Ok, got a bugfix up that seems to address all the bugs reported so far.

I'm still working on converting the videos back to webm. At the rate its going I'll probably need to let it run while I sleep. I'll do a full repack tomorrow. Hopefully before work, but after work at the latest.

The bugfix is only a html file. Its like a 1mb.

Sissy stuff is avoidable by just not playing the Elliot/Romi route. At the moment there are no characters that are aware they're being manipulated. I will do a character around that kink down the line some time though.
