Sorry if I didn't answer any questions here recently, was busy doing update stuff. Anyway, yeah so 0.23.1 has been released to patrons and SS as Chiffre said. It's a much smaller update than the last one because I'm trying to pivot towards smaller but more frequent updates because obviously that's kinda just the meta for that stuff. Unfortunately this time it came with christmas, new year, 2 weeks overseas (planned) and a further week away from my computer due to a family death unfortunately. So it's smaller than I would've liked, but oh well.
As stated in the changelog, this is basically a full Sasha update. Not so much of a story progression one for her (Though there is some of that), it's mostly a route selection kinda thing. With that in mind, if you're not interested in Sasha, or you just want to wait for a larger chunk of new content then you should skip this update and wait for the next one. The aim from now on is to make changelogs specific enough without spoilers that people can decide for themselves which updates are just worth playing right away for them, and which ones are worth skipping until another one comes out. So if I did an update that only features let's say Riley, but didn't include anything for her slave route then the changelog would mention that. I don't like wasting people's time.
Anyway, it's scheduled for release to the public here on February 11th. Naturally some bugs will be found so the version that hits here should be like 0.23.1.2 or something with those bugs fixed, and yes, it will be available as a patch so you don't have to download the entire thing again if you have 0.22.06.
If you're not interested in Sasha, skip this update
Was hoping for Olivia finally or a continuation with Akemi & Hikari. Sasha is way down on my list so will skip this one.
Unfortunately not yet, but sooner than planned. The last update set up an event for her on the following monday in game, but 0.23 changes that to say the Friday instead since that was the original planned date for it. The only reason I set it to Monday was that I knew that her first big event is gonna require lots of background characters due to what it is, and I needed time to raise funds for a new GPU. Lucky for me, Darth.Avidus in the discord pretty much just bought me a 3060, so now that isn't an issue. So I've moved her event forwards to the original date and now I'm hoping everyone will just pretend it was always on that date. I guess new players won't know the difference.
Is it possible the build in walktrough mode could not get enabled somehow?
It doesn't seem to matter whether I switch the walkthrough on or off in the preference settings , the result is the same. No recommendation is given at the selection menus in the game as to what effect the respective selection has on the ways with the girls.
The walkthrough doesn't show its first hint until Cassie and Riley are in the clothes store after the pool. Up until that point nothing you do matters in the long term (Currently. That might change, but I usually put notes in if I expect a choice to have an effect in the future, even if I don't know exactly what it's going to be yet)
