Progress, Plans, and Platform Puzzles


Hey friends!
Time for another update on how things are going. I’ll try to keep it short (but let’s be real, I probably won’t).
1. About body hair and your feedback:
I’ve heard your thoughts, and we’ll try to include it selectively where it makes sense. Sometimes we’ll even tie it into the story. For example, things like unshaved armpits could be the result of an order or influence from another character - mainly the MC.
Basically, I try to turn technical/artistic choices into narrative ones whenever possible. It doesn’t always land perfectly, but that’s the goal.
Just a heads-up - this is the plan for now, but it might shift by the time the season wraps up. There are always surprises during development. Still, I’ll do my best to make both sides happy.
2. DLsite demo launch:
We’ve released our first demo on DLsite as a kind of small testing ground. The platform has isolated us from the rest of the world (you’ll only see the page with a VPN).
Next up, we’ll try to put out a similar demo on itch.io to help with visibility. From what I understand, most devs there create a separate demo page that links to the full version. We’ll see how it goes!
3. Quick DLsite note:
If for some reason you decide to buy the game on DLsite using a VPN, I recommend choosing the PC version - it also includes the Android build.
The Android version is listed separately, doesn’t come with the PC version, and both cost the same. So one gives you everything, the other only part.
Sorry for the confusion - the release/registration/review process there is pretty unusual, and unfortunately, we’re not allowed to roll things back due to platform rules.
We really did what we could. Next time, we’ll try to do it better (hopefully).
4. Progress update:
Development is going strong, and I’m pretty happy with how things are shaping up so far. Just a reminder - the season is huge, and this second one is being written much more from scratch than the first.
I honestly think even longtime players will find it fresh and interesting (at least I hope so!).
5. Two more stores on the way:
We’re still working out technical stuff with two other platforms. Fingers crossed, we’ll be live there soon too.
Once again, thank you all so much. We’re incredibly grateful, and this crazy ship (with all its bans and storms) keeps moving forward only because of your support.
Thank you.

My note: My bad, everyone. This whole week was finals for me, and I was so locked in. Luckily, I passed my classes, so there's no more stress! Also, im having trouble uploading the pic yall, so idk if anyone is experiencing the same thing
Like always, he's being very vague about progress.

I just wanted to chime into say my two cents. First of all sucks that the main writer is gone, I only casually keep up with games so only just found out about that today. But I've so far been liking what's been done with the redux, been liking the new story beats (+ hitting some fetishes I have ngl.) and am kinda interred with the narrative. And the use of AI is not a deal breaker for me as much as I fell in love with the art in seasons 1-4 I understand art takes a lot of time and money. So in a perfect world I would love for the art to keep with what it was but if a sacrifice had to traditinal art for more content at a faster pace I'm okay with it. I still enjoy what is coming out and can't wait for season 2 redux.

whats new with the redux demo?
It's literally just a DEMO - an introduction, a sample, a morsel, a selection of scenes - of the entire Season 1 Redux that you can already get right here.

Did you bother to even go look for yourself what it was?

Who does Uber have writing these posts these days? Cause I worked on "Family Tales" back in 2018 when I was a senior in college, and I'm now pushing 30. Unless this dude is working to become a lawyer or a doctor, idk what he's talking about with finals. And if it is somebody else, they should be signing off with a simple "-username" when they're putting their personal notes in to clarify things.

Edit: If this note is specifically from Vanheller as just the uploader of the update post, then my B for minsterpreting things. Congrats on your classes, bro. (y):cool:

The "My Note" was the tip, its his (Vanheller's) own note.

Also what with the age shaming anyway? Anyone at anytime can go to or back to uni. Finals arguably tougher if you doing part time any way cause your sole focus isnt school but other RL shit too. I digress.

in all honesty, to me, the writing was the worst part of the game. MC was both too much of an edgelord and too much of a pussy.

reminds me of gates hotel(or however it was called) where the mc had no consistency at all.

was never a fan of his inner demon, but also hated his too passive main personality.

the other characters werent any better either.

and it didnt help how some, like the teacher just ceased to exist after 1 event, even though she was written as if she would be as important as his family(or her daughter).

so im not that sad the writer is gone. just wish the story had a better pacing and characters.

That is the thing, MC is not sane, he doesn't have an "inner demon", he is clearly a schizo, his main personality is really unlikable but he was on psychopharmaceuticals, unless that whole thing has been forgotten in the story.
It is a tale of two polar opposites influencing each other where I honestly would have liked if even more personalities showed up, like it was hinted in the original.

Darnell is the one mostly written in an inconsistent way if you think about it: he is a scum that blackmails and rapes like there is no tomorrow but then suddenly he is hesitant (not too much in the end) to rape Tiffany, because he "loves" her.
A rapist of that magnitude found Jesus in Tiffany's asscheeks? Fuck that.
Coming back to apologize? fuck that, better pay for a billboard and start apologizing to half the town.

Speaking of Tiffany, she is a bit weird in her choices and her camwork is never explored, plus I would have liked a bit more tension between her and MC instead of "I've got spanked now I am in love".

Ok if I want to be really nitpicky, Harry lost his edge as the time went on, he isn't really scary anymore, it was fun to see the eloquent and well educated businessman / underground lord vibe, I feel that it has been lost.

In the end TT is a game with silly porn logic and some dark themes, I like that contrast, If I can have another small complaint is about the pacing, Gerda is being too stretched out and so is the cult, this is why I wasn't thrilled about the redux.

Anyway if you don't like it you don't like it, especially since you threw the widest net possible including all characters.
If you want to be more specific I can try and change your mind, or I'll simply agree with you if your argument is sound.

Given the context I *thought* I had that this was Uber writing that part, I smelled malarkey. I knew the guy for at least a bit, and he left a good deal of an impression, so what I thought was an "excuse" just didn't sit right with me. Again, I was wrong, and I already saw that.

I've been a professional writer/copyeditor for 20+ years. After dabbling in the hgame market for fun, I've realized it's not worth it. No one putting down $$$ cares about the writing or story, and Devs treat their writers like garbage. The blame ultimately is on the consumer, for supporting ESL shit and using their wallets to vote in the current "zero effort milk-scam-recycled asset google translate broken english put up a wallpaper every month to avoid Patreon cancellation while telling lies about home tragedies" model. Even devs/artists who start out wanting to make something unique realize quickly it's a waste of time, because consumers who want quality writing and art don't pay for it, and consumers who pay for hgames don't care about quality of writing and art. Also, the paypiggies are a little messed up sometimes and variance in international laws allow paying customers to avoid jail for cybercrime, like what happened with Detective Necro. Why would any dev with sense go through all that work just to produce a product that is going to be stolen?

There will never be porn game with a good story unless some independently wealthy person decides to commission one and understands that you have to pay talent what it's worth.
Did you mean to respond to my post? Cause it seems a bit unrelated

Something is not quite right. I have the super glue and according to the walkthrough I should just go the the toilets and then back out to Danny in the hallway to superglue the mop. None of this is happening however and Danny isn't even in the hallway.

I've been stuck for what feels like ages now and this is quite infuriating. Slowly but surely all of the tasks and events have dwindled down and now the days are virtually empty and I can't get anything to happen.

What walk through? If you mean a written one - there is not an updated written walk through. There hasn't been one for over 4 years.

This is not a task that normally people have a problem with. You probably haven't had done something to trigger Danny actually being in the hallway.

The in-came task list is fine, though sometimes it can be hassle. You should make sure you are not skipping any dialogue, because normally the dialogue says exactly what the character needs to do and how (either implied or explicitly stated).

You can search this thread using the exact wording of nearly any v0.89.8 task and you'll find answers to 95% of the playthrough questions. You could also do the same on Google for videos [exact wording of task] taffy tales.

I searched Google for super glue Taffy Tales - first two results:

If you are still having problems post a screen shot of your task list as well of a screenshot of the school hallway.

That was one giant ass reply my dude...

The problem actually 'fixed' itself eventually. Apparently everything had come to a halt because I had to wait for the random dream bitch in a mask with a knife to show up and drop a mask... After that the pieces fell into place. However, I did search for my particular problem before posting and there were a LOT of people asking the same question about that specific task, so it's not *that* uncommon, I would say.

Ahh, the good ol classic "sleep few nights" bit. Every experienced nsfw game player knows - you need to sleep regularly to trigger events. More than half of the games trigger things after or during proper sleep cycles.

The dream is not random. It is triggered after the player has Peter watch tv and read comics in his bedroom. That's when he finds a tshirt, glasses and then has the dream. After the dream, he gets the mask.

That is why I said "You probably haven't had done something to trigger Danny actually being in the hallway."

That is also why I said "If you are still having problems post a screen shot of your task list" because you likely had other task(s) you still had to complete. Tasks aren't linear. Sometimes you have to do have Peter complete tasks which don't appear related for other story elements (sometimes with other characters) before being able to progress with the character you want to focus on.

As for your claim there were "a LOT" -- searching the thread for super glue -- gives like 2 pages of results (https://f95zone.to/search/486964882/?q=super+glue&t=post&c[thread]=9861&o=date)
The fifth one (would have been the second one before our conversation in this thread) gives you the answer for your problem.

Enjoy the game.
