Does anyone know if they are planning on also releasing a christmas update? The progress has barely progressed and they don't have any of the coding tasks done yet.

Almost certainly not. I mean, stray only works part-time, so it's possible that they are already working on tech stuff (like DC wants a new UI etc.), but right now it's really a strange situation.

Wait... so without a mod those guys will continue to show up every 3+ days whenever I go somewhere to take my money?
That can't be right, the dev team should be far too experienced by now for game design that terrible.
You do know that you can put your money into bank right ? Also once you finish the main quest line the guys will stop showing up without mod then you can return to the sandbox.

The mobs on the street are still an odd choice since they basically force you to complete the story once you've started it, while there isn't even a real "choice warning" like you'd get it in other important events. Sure, if you know that you musn't buy the bike you are fine, but once you buy it, you are basically in it until the end.

I mean, people voted to have fewer choices and it certainly creates a kind of tension that's needed. Yet, I still feel they could have solved it a little better.

Well, that would have been helpful to know. Especially since the pizza dude gives you the money for the bike so you feel like you definitely should buy it.

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure whether it's buying the bike or doing the first delivery, but one of these should be the trigger. For those who want to play the main story anyway it's probably fine, but if you aren't interested in it, it's a real bother. Especially because it seems like a good way to earn additional money...

That's not very intuitive and probably should be handled differently. I thought I was already locked in anyway since the beginning was pretty stuffed with mafia and police nonsense.

I guess I'm in the minority here but I really don't like it in terms of atmosphere and pacing either. It just seems weird to pretend to be a normal student, catch up on homework, do a bunch of fetch me tasks and have your first romantic experiences when there's this huge threat of the mob trying to kill you and a 250k loan and whatnot hanging over your head.
To me it would feel more natural if the heavy stuff came later and it wasn't a constant change from lighthearted to pseudo-drama right from the start.

@DownTheDrain:

Well, that's the Sandbox working. I mean, people are totally free to ignore Tony and the main story as long as they want, as long as they don't run into it by accident. If there would be a better possibility to chose, then I'd have no issue with that to be honest and to some degree it'll always be up to the player to give himself a good experience.

I mean, in the end main story stuff is still not really heavy or threatening. All of these antagonists like the mobs, Rump, Kim, etc. are somewhat cartoonish (like you imagine most of these Disney/Warner Bros. villians) and seem pretty harmless in general.

Sure, decouple it from delivery driver work and put a disclaimer in there that warns me before I trigger it too early and I wouldn't mind that much.
I mean it's a silly storyline but so is everything else so I guess it would work well enough.

Hi all,

new version of the is up, fixing a bug and improving translation support.

Version 0.20.7-2.02:
  • Fixed a stupid bug with Iwanka outfit, occuring before her story is finished.
  • Introduced new configuration parameter DUMP_TRANSLATIONS. When enabled, this will create an initial translation file, and will append any new untranslated text you encounter during game play. The two files generated can be edited/translated, and will be automatically used by the game. See description of that parameter for details.
Have fun!

I appreciate alot of your insights for SS but For once I disagree, they beat the shit out of you... ruin Mom’s car and pepper her with threatening phone calls AND THEY MURDERED YOUR DAD. You have to get cops involved and Its only until you work with Tony that it all calms down..... so I wouldnt understate it and claim them disney villians, the loan sharks... They are more shonen antagonists. A little goofy, but they can and will fuck you up BAD. Now the secondary ones like Kim and Dexter... yes. Very lol

"0.20.8 story ending": does it mean that the whole story will end or just the chapter 3 and there will be a chapter 4?

It's only the main story ending (part three of three, two parts already done). There are other updates coming, see the official site:

There is also a more detailed roadmap available but I think it's for patrons only. Sometimes somebody posts infos here.

You know it occurs to me that despite this game having a 'prostitution' tag? The only real form of it is that red haired girl in the mall. Who i'm not even entirely sure counts. I kinda feel there should be a better/different one around town. Like it's mentioned that there seems to be more than one of them in town. Why not make it so we can find one of these others for scenes? I mean for the most part money is rather pointless even without cheats.

There are several places in game a proustite or hooker or whatever you wish to call them/her could be as they are rather under utilized. Such as the alley by the tattoo parlor for Eve which is just kinda there and has those 2 guys.

Raven hill could be a perfect place for them to be able to find them in and a good reason to get a good car as it could be tied into content with them.

Places like that or a whole new one. You get the idea. But I really think the game could benefit from an actually good one with more updated art style. Maybe give a reason to actually have condoms in the game. What do you all think?
