Depends, one route in the latest update is probably 15 min, the other 10 min.
I'll make a save on each branch to see all the paths :)

Of all names, hell, even personally chosen names, you chose instead to use "Ben"? Bruh.
Did you choose to stick with Ben? I mean in the first 3 seconds of the game your hand was so firmly planted on your dick you couldn't type out a new name?

The only girl who actually chose us .. of course she is the only one,
because all the others so called ”friends” chose to ostracize MC
and prank him while booting him outside of the group,
treating him like some charity case, waiting 4 him to crawl to be accepted back.
What a pack of diks.

I'm used to the ntr hysteria of some but this is just ridiculous. Holy shit :FacePalm:
Well, I won't be trying this game because there are other characters in other games having sex and I can't stand that much blatant NTR. /sarcasm

Honestly, the devs are aiming for realism here. Real isn't a harem unless you are a billionaire surrounded by gold-digging whores. Go out and try it in real life and see how many girls will even give you the time of day after you get busted for cheating once or twice.
I doubt anyone here if they saw two people fucking would avert their eyes and move along in disgust. Most likely they would give it a good long gander then go home and watch porn which also contains people not them getting laid. The devs already stated that MC will not get cucked. But for some people that simply isn't good enough. The girls all have to be low self-esteem, no morals whores and only the MC is allowed to get laid or else they will bitch bitch bitch.

It's a good little time sink. You don't have to suspend disbelief because it's not necessary to do that. The models and renders look great. The story is good and believable.

I don´t like NTR, but I don´t go to threads of NTR games to provoke people or say that their preferences are wrong. I don´t like to discover that a female character that I like, in a game with a male MC, is actually a lesbian or bi, but I don´t go to threads of games about lesbianism to provoke people or say that their preferences are wrong. But there are always people in this forum eager to judge others that dare to express what they would like or not would like to see in a game. To say others if their preferences are "acceptable", and ridiculice and insult them if, from their presumed moral superiority, they consider that those preferences are "wrong". I´m so tired of that... :cautious:

Old saves not working? :(
I assume you're trying to load a save file made during 0.2 or 0.1 releases?

During the release of 0.3, there was a bug that caused all save files made in 0.1 & 0.2 to become unusable. So you will have to restart the game. Sorry.

---

Note: Anyone who started (or restarted) playing the game from 0.3 onwards should be able to use the save files without any issues.

I just finished playing. A short game so far, but very good. ;)

I like Sophie.. but sex with her, too fast in my opinion.
I did not expect completely that after the first date with her, she would not have a problem going to bed with MC.

This is why, I believe, given the complexity of your project, you should storyboard and/or flowchart each permissible route to the end. This way you will know if you have bitten off too big of a project for your given resources and need to either adjust the plan or add resources. That does not mean that you would need to adhere rigidly to your plan. But if you do decided to change it in midstream, you would know exactly the ramifications of the change.

Having such a plan in hand, it could be used to determine what goes into each subsequent release as you proceed.

Unfortunately, planning is not the sexy part of development. It is rare that creative people like to do it. But winging it can easily lead to disaster... as in abandonment.
I assure you, we're definitely not winging it with either the script or the art :)

The base script for 0.4 was completed when 0.3 was released.

All the major story beats of the entire "first year in college" have already been mapped out quite a while ago.

---

Coming to the process behind individual updates:

The script (along with the exact number of images and poses needed for each scene) is handed to the artist - well before he starts working on it.

So, if we ever needed to change something, there was always enough time to do it.

(In fact we HAVE changed stuff in the past without any delays in release)

---

What happened with 0.4 was a rare miss due to some unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances.

And we've already made the necessary adjustments to our working style so that it won't happen again :)
