That person said they provided a save with it, so when they load it, it is probably reading their data...

I haven't, i've loaded my own Save from the previous Version but if that Person provided his own Persistent File as well then this may be cause of it, just a guess.

I actually tried to change the builds by mods, but I got accused for trying to change Steam build with Patreon build. Nothing I can do more.

Hey everyone!

The three days following an update are always the toughest for me mentally. I spend them combing through every forum—Steam, Itch, F95zone, Discord,

players feedback. This includes everything from trolls and long-time critics to supportive fans. I’m also on the lookout for bugs reported by players so we can fix them promptly. Here’s a breakdown of my responses, observations, and plans (there might be some spoiler, don't read, if you did not play the update yet):
• Bugs and Issues So far, only a few bugs have been reported. One critical bug related to the iSpy app was preventing further progress in some cases. There were also minor issues with minigames, Discord on Mac, and a missing scene in the replay gallery. These have all been fixed. The Steam version has been updated, and the Itch and Patreon versions will be updated tomorrow. We’re ready to fix any new bugs immediately.
• Feedback on Update Length I've addressed this many times, but here’s my previous information about the developing job:

...my job as a firefighter sometimes allows me extra time off, which I dedicate to game development. Over the past three months (aside from my vacation), I’ve been working 12-16 hours daily to create what we’ve released. Despite this, some still find the update “short.” I might need to slow down and give myself more mental freedom because no matter how hard I work, people will always complain about the update being too short.

• Content and Story Feedback I agree that we could have added more sexual content to the yacht scene, but I didn't think it was appropriate and really needed. We don't want to add empty sex scenes just for the sake of it. This update was not shallow in my opinion, as it containted three other sex scenes. I'm sure we'll soon get to the point where everyone will see what they're waiting for, but scenes in which sexual acts don't occur also affect the main character's mental attitude. You may disagree with this, but it does not change my approach to the storyline we are creating.

It’s important to remember that an Adult Visual Novel combines both - "Adult" content, but also "Novel" aspect. If someone is here only for the adult content and ignores the novel aspect, they might be disappointed—that’s not our aim.

Regarding complaints about the D&D, Elijah or any other plotlines: it's impossible to please everyone. Some enjoy these storylines, others don’t. Making them optional would undermine the main narrative. Every plot point, including D&D, has an impact on the main character, if not now, then in future updates. We don't add random storylines; everything has a purpose. We also can't feature every character in every update. Episode 2.2 focused on Elijah and Richard; 3.0 focused on other things; episode 3.1 will be about something else. We’re doing our best to release content quickly and on time. If you found this update small, you might want to wait for 4.0 and skip previous two small updates till then.

Lastly, regarding the bar minigame: it’s optional and doesn’t affect the main story, but we’ll make it easier since many found it too challenging. It will have its development in episode 3.1 but will remain non-essential to the main plot.
That would be it. I take every feedback to heart, we have our idea for the game, but we also take your opinion into consideration. However, we will not add a sex scene with Riley, just because we feel such pressure on our backs. The opinion that in the scene of the Dean and Madison, Riley should allow much more and don't back off is mere bullshit and a desire to see a fucking, not constructive criticism. I am always available to you and I write back to every message, however, if you need help with the game or you have encountered an error - share it on discord so that it is easier to solve them. If you would like to add something, feel free to comment and share your thoughts. We have already started working on episodes 3.1 - it will be half the size of the current one, but will appear in probably mid-August.

edit. we are actively looking for additional Daz3D artists, but we rather want to improve the quality of the renders, so finding the right person(s) is very hard and we have not succeeded so far.

I sincerely respect your work, but I disagree with you. Before I voice my criticism, I would like to mention that I am a paid subscriber to the game. The game has reached update 3.0 and we, as players, still haven't seen a sex scene other than Riley's scenes with her husband. Actually, the update is not short, but every time an update comes, players approach it with the thought that "we'll probably get what we want in this version", so every time we linger, we lose the story and our actions become just mouse clicks. The number of people who want the main character Riley scene is considerable, and many of them are people who support you financially. I'm not saying what you're doing is completely wrong, of course there should be integrity in the story and some events should develop over time, but you should also consider the wishes of your players. In short, we are faced with a game that rejects the wishes of so many people and still sticks to its head...

If folks are having issues with the game, here is the "unaltered version of the game".

Since people's saves are getting wiped with the one that is posted, these are the non-messed with builds.

I think you're expecting something the game won't give you immediately: fucking other people other than her husband. FMC is giving steps in this way, but slowly. Not as slow as other games, not so fast as for example AnnaExcAffect. Both games have the same story line: FMC starts to strip at a bar. In the other game, FMC goes full slut immediately, here is progressively. And I think it will be the same for every path. That's also why game's title.
I get what you're saying, and it speaks positively of the dev, who managed to create an attractive female model (whom many players want to see getting fucked right now), as well as an story. Although, I agree with him regarding the need for the sex scenes to have a consistency in relation to the story

The problem is that a good corruption story needs to take its time and in game that isn't even that much time, it only feels like it is a lot of time because the game is mid-development. If you would just end up playing the finished game some day, it will likely feel a lot more organic and right this way than it feels now when you simply have to wait between updates. I can only hope that Fooxied can compartmentalize the criticism well enough to not give up on the game.
