Newest version definately feels like it has a memory leak or something. Totally slowing to a crawl every couple of minutes.
Oddly enough, saving and preparing to quit and relaunch the program seems to fix it. Not sure why.
I have never played on phone, so cannot comment. On PC, however, I have not once noticed any lag on any version of the game. So whatever it is, it is not universal. Which makes it tricky to pin down without a lot more detail to work on.
It's the same on PC. Game gets progressively laggier the longer you play especially if you start clicking through things quickly. Quitting and restarting helps so it definitely feels like some sort of memory leak or something, no idea how exactly the game is programmed but I've noticed definite performance issues. Not unplayable though
Suggestion: Pure Virgin could be an option like Baby crazy/Child free, instead of automatically replacing Virgin if it's still there after the first season.

Looking at this for the first time since forever.
Amazing work has been done with the backgrounds. The bus trips with daytime-accurate passengers are a very nice touch. School also became more interesting (still feel classes could be expanded somewhat, maybe less randomness to the subjects over the course of the week, too). Waitressing is functional without particularly severe punishments. Locations have been expanded. The beach and park are nice. The scrapyard and slums offer nice show, don't tell worldbuilding. I like it a lot.
By contrast, Haven is an absolute disaster that slips into a quasi death spiral with hilarious ease. I assume the dev wants it to be realistic (though I personally question someone who experienced the apocalypse before reawakening, being taught how awful the world is in school, seeing whores and getting groped, potentially raped all over town, being confronted face to face with unwanted pregnancies as a result of rape time and time again, suddenly going into a drunk depression spiral and unable to do anything at all just on account of a change of location; nevermind all the people in Haven who are coping with it), but even if we do accept the quasi death spiral as realistic, it isn't fun gameplay. Being stuck in a loop of depressed -> get drunk -> tired -> depressed -> get drunk -> tired without even the opportunity to actually do something in between is ludicrous.
One can, of course, navigate Haven by being very careful, some savescumming, always making sure to go to places when they're relatively safe, getting out essentially unharmed. But I'd wager that there is a part of the audience that'd like to take risks and be punished for it without the punishment being a loop of being trapped between alcohol & lack of sleep and unable to break out of it, unable to make choices as you're constantly being teleported between Victor and your bunk. There's got to be a middle ground between 'You're here forever' and 'Scots free'.
I like the game's story aspect, and I went into Haven essentially ASAP because I like it.
But jeez. For being in a quasi-sandbox game, Haven is bloody unplayable. Stray from a very strict, minimum risk path, and it's over. Make one mistake, and you slide right down into kinetic novel territory. You're either a perfect secret agent, or you're fucked. Figuratively, not just literally.
That kind of design may work for a platformer, but this ain't one.

The few images I've seen of the next update suggest a lot of "interactivity" with Dani.

Mhm, it is expected we'll get access to Dani's apartment and get all "lovey-lovey" with her, alongside other new additions, according to Sam. (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
Had people comment a bit on this since I added the despondent perk. It's something I need to look into. Glad you liked the other stuff though.
Something was planned with the photo storyline. Essentially Sammy recruiting a bunch of girls to work as models and making money off it. But if the person in question was against the idea, you would have to progress some of their quests for them to eventually agree (progress dance storyline to get the dance girls for example)
Generally though it didn't seem a very popular idea so was put on the back burner in favour of other content.
What? Where can I read about this? I don't remember typing such things...

You know, on the topic of unlikely romances, fiery characters and content dumps - in the context of game world plus their dialogs it feels, at least to me, that our girls in question (yes, Robin too) would crave some form of non-sexual intimacy and the comforts it brings. Some lovey-dovey makes slutty bitching with extra gangbang somewhat more wholesome, just sayin'
Also it distracts a little from writing all the smut, but that might just be me, and we all know hand holding is the dirtiest fetish ever.Also since Sammy, Dani and Robin are all pretty much next door neighbors/flatmates at that point, I wonder if all three will ever share the upcoming shenanigans together...
That said, you already got an insane amount of personal story hooks and character branches to work on, and what there is already (spoiler: a lot) is pretty compelling. Bravo. I still find interactions I haven't seen yet, somehow. I'm sure you get that a lot but still, thanks. You got one of the more interesting projects this side of Smut County.
Can't say I've seen Tamagochi made sexy before. Tummygochi?
Maybe it's a selfish request, but seeing that there's a lot of male/female characters that can be interact with makes my romance heart boiling. It would be cool if there's like an affection meter or something like that definitely makes the game feel better since in Sammy's Journal for almost every character, she says "We're practically stranger". Keep the game as it is, but put romance as a side option since some people wants Sammy to become a whore
Do note that interacting with the various characters (e.g. the automatic conversations before class and in the caféteria, or talking with them) will change that text and increase their relationship.

each character in the game has an [char].affection and [char]._affection values
every time dialogue advances game adds just a few points to one of them (I'll call it MainNumber from now on) (eventually totaling in the hundreds and thousands)
and the other (I'll call it SecondaryNumber from now on) is calculated by dividing MainNumber by some math formula the Dev made
eventually when ScondaryNumber reaches certain milestones Journal entries and Dialogue, change to reflect a milestone change in relationship
This was the original plan for Dani. Something more sexless but intimate. But then I came up with an awesome/terrible super secret idea and am pushing with that instead.You know, on the topic of unlikely romances, fiery characters and content dumps - in the context of game world plus their dialogs it feels, at least to me, that our girls in question (yes, Robin too) would crave some form of non-sexual intimacy and the comforts it brings.

SHAME!
It's already like that. But since this is not a dating sim there is no need for that to be front and center because otherwise it encourages players to try to grind their affection. As it is, the vague description that is currently in makes some players think all you need to do is grind the stat to unlock content.
I see, I was hoping that some male characters had more interaction to Sammy, since her relationships had more interaction with the female NPC's. I honestly want more dialogue with the male NPC's or add some new character since it feels like Sammy interested with the Girls more except for the Soccer guys

I've been playing around with a new save and having a blast with it, I'm about to start the haven mission and i have a few inputs and questions:
- I tried the Gamine starter perk but to my surprise it automatically gave me the whore and smoker perks, I wish the perks were better explained/described so it makes it easier to understand what to expect so we can better choose which perk suits the character we want to play.
- Is there a way to lose some unwanted perks, like for example if i keep refusing sex offers will that eventually remove the whore perk? or is it once you got it it's permanent?
- Can we change MC's opinion on pregnancy later in the game? at the start i want my character to not want any babies because she's new to this world and wants to take it slow but later after having experience i want her to change her mind and become open to the idea.
- The smoker perk i got from choosing Gamine is bugged, once you light a cigarette it becomes permanent so my character is stuck smoking 24/7, I'm surprised she's still alive.
- I'm undecided about whom the MC should lose her virginity to, I don't want it to be a random dude, I know opinions will vary but i want your input, who do you think is the best candidate to pop our heroine's cherry.
