Sorry, but the latest Update (2.0 > 2.1) was such kind of disappointing :cry:
Really awaited it, but there were only small bits of content - 10min, 15max.
And that for 2.5 months of development?

I agree it felt very short, although with the different paths I'm not sure how much of the new content I actually saw. I think the development of TFAR really negatively weighed on SR development time. Hopefully, now that TFAR has been abandoned, SR will get back on track.

Does anyone else get the Parking Icon bug when you go to the hotel on the map?

After clicking through to the hotel map, the link to the hotel events and then another parking symbol link shows up.
When I click the parking symbol the game crashes. But if I click the hotel link and go through the event, after its over clicking the parking symbol acts normal again and works as intended taking me back to the city.

Hey hey!
It looks like preparations for the next SR update are all set, and I'll kick off rendering images next week. So, expect the usual weekly preview pictures starting next Friday.
The images in this weekly update aren't from the game; I was simply experimenting with some new post-processing techniques on Laura.
Next week, I'll also deliver the promised HD wallpapers.
For those who might not know, Laura was once printed on a 3D printer, and I have a copy standing on my desk, too. to a video of the printing process.
Have a fantastic weekend, and I'll catch you all next week!
Regards,
Nemiegs​

Don't know if anyone noticed the new addition to the title?

It was all in the weekly update, but it has not been shared this time.

Nemiegs explains in the weekly update :ROFLMAO::
During my absence last weekend, the marketing team conducted a small survey revealing that the title "Special Request" lacks significance for those unfamiliar with the game. This realization threw me into an analysis paralysis as I pondered potential titles. The discussions on Discord were instrumental, and the tipping point came with the Patreon poll. While the options didn't quite resonate with me, your collective preference for the keyword "corruption" was unmistakable. Although pairing it with the MC name felt somewhat clichéd, the perfect solution emerged from the comments. Therefore, SR's full title today is "Special Request: In the Web of Corruption". A heartfelt thank you to all who contributed to the Discord discussions voted, and shared their opinions! Your support has been invaluable.

I tried this a few years ago and decided to see how far it had come since then. Unfortunately, I forgot my first step of all renpy games: disable sounds.

I will admit that a lot of times, this game seems to be a decent mature game. Then you see one of those male faces that is so horribly misshaped that it feels like a cartoon or parody. But what really brings it down in my opinion (which I usually dont notice since I ALWAYS disable audio first) is the sounds. The "OMG", "OH MY LORD", "NO NO NO!", "OH!", "WHAT", "WHAT THE HELL" and the laugh ones... They sound so horrible and out of place.

I personally disable sounds in these games because they are always absolutely horrible. And I am pretty sure the reason is that any voice actor that these devs can afford is going to sound like ass. And most devs use either presold voices, or free ones they find. AAA games barely get decent voice acting half of the time, so small devs like this have no chance.

But what bugs me is that a dev would use these very crappy sounds and play their game and not be like "Man, that sounds like utter ass, I should just remove it". Something is not always better than nothing if that something is crap.

I played "The Visit" once and forgot to turn off sounds. The sound of the MC cumming while fapping in a bathroom sounded like a fucking Harley Davidson fucking an elephant. Instant quit and delete. How do people hear this and not instantly delete those games?

Ill end my rant here and take part of the blame for forgetting to disable sounds. Maybe one day my shit-audio-rant will help a dev realize they are better off with less or no audio and become a better dev :p
