Is there a reason why saves aren't working correctly? I finished cindy luggage quest went to bed talked to judy, saved game and closed it out, then next day went to load save and it starts me outside with cindy's luggage in my inventory again.

No, not really. I'm currently finalizing the next update and will test this scenario before giving it to the testers.

now i just got to the part with judy where i can buy wine and the painting easl saved it after i gave the woman the painting and reloaded and it took me to same point in game around the time where cindys quest is again, lost all my progress I've uploaded my save. it took me roughly 3hrs to get to where I am now since my last post just to end up with lost progress. I Won't start over again, I'll remove the vpn before that happens.

What do you mean by "remove the vpn"? Do you play it in a browser?
Which version of the game do you currently have/play?

When I load the save, I get an error message and "ignore" the error, the save only contains the meeting, the mansion and Cindy's luggage as quests. It looks like most, if not all other content is not triggered and also not in the state that is loaded as save...

I currently only have saves for our v1.1.16 dev-build. Which wouldn't help, since it is reliant on content that is designated v1.2. Sorry.

I'll provide "start of" v1.2 release saves and/or a chapter skip with the next version, just to be save.
But that wouldn't help you either, since you seem to be in the middle of the currently released v1.1.11 content.

If you tell me, if you did any other quests for Cindy, Gemma or Sienna, I can make you a save with that specific progress. (Basically, what are the last scenes you got with each girl?)

Okay, I'll see that I get you a save game at that spot.

Don't worry about giving me a save, I went ahead and did what I said I wasn't going to do... I restarted and just fast skipped to my point in game and did all quests and completed this version. I'm only hoping that after I saved it the save will properly import into next update instead of loading me at beginning again.

Can someone post latest dev log? Thanks

Hmmm... That post isn't up-to-date anymore, anyway, so...
I could give you an estimate for the release date, but I gave that estimate to our testers yesterday and immideately got sick over night. Nothing dramatic for now, but it will delay the whole thing by a day or two.

Let's just say... Version-Progress:

• Wrinting: 100%
• Render: 100%
• Audio: 100%
• Coding: 90%

There are 4 known issues, that I need to fix. They do not look like big issues, so I expect to get that done relatively quickly. After that testing. And then, you know, the usual... release.

Since Minerva, Cindy and Sienna had their shining moments in the last update, this version focuses on Gemma und Judy.

Some of the changes include:

• If there are more then one event at a given time in a location, you will get to make the choice which event to play.
  • There will still be auto-play events, mostly for Judy's night scenes.
  • This will also only affect new content. So expect to really see that change in Chapter 2.
• There's an in-game updater.
  • It's very basic for now, but will get some better integration later on.
  • This will check for fixes or update and download them (after confirmation), if an internet connection is available.
• APK-Downloader
  • There will be an APK that's about 100MB in size. After starting, it will download the game. Fixes and updates can be aquired via in-app download.
• We have a replay gallery now.
  • It doesn't have all the scenes in it yet, but most. I will see if I can add the rest till release, while the testers do their thing.
• Two harder to find coins where relocated.
  • The coin in the west wing's bathroom can now be found on the sink.
  • The coin in the west hall, where the player had to turn around, is now in the north facing view (the default view coming from the entrance)
• New events should rarely have a time requirement.
  • Some old events got their time requirement removed but will advance time appropriately (like the Dinner with Minerva will advance time to night).
  • Removed the "points" requirements in the still introductory phase of the game.

Expect more news soon™

Quick question. I've completed most quests. The only thing pending is Visit Cindy from time to time to progress the massage scenario. I've waited a couple of days, and nothing seems to trigger and she's not on the mini map. How do you unlock the second part of the message quest?

If you did all the other quests so far and there are no nightly scenes with Judy or Cindy, have a look if there's something in Judy's shop that you can still buy. E.g. the leather outfit.

Alternatively, wait a few days till the next release, that removes most of the time and affection constraints, which should progress quests a lot quicker.

With that said, there are the in-game settings (right-most icon at the bottom). There should be an option to remove some of the time requirements. With that active, most events should be available at all times.

Did you already have a nightly visit by Cindy? If you boost her need for attention, the massage quest progresses a lot faster and with that her nightly visits get naughty to the point of finishing that quest.
You can boost her attention if you click on the little notebook in the lower right corner (where the nav arrows are) and then click on the blossoms to set them to their current max level.

If there's nothing in the shop, nothing happening when you enter your room, Cindy's room or go to sleep at night, post your save file and I'll have a look at it and see if I can figure out if something is missing.

Edit: For everyone wondering what happened. We exchanged DMs on Discord; I can see the problem, I can't reproduce the problem; I made a clean save with the progress to trigger the missing scene.

I just finished playing, and Judy should be on a top10 characters in AVNs. She is too fun, and It's almost like breaking the 4th wall when she says: 'did you see that' lol (yes, was at the Minerva scene). I hope she don't turn evil in the end.

Gemma content felt too short compared with others, and she disappeared even in the final scene.

Well, buckle up. The next update is almost ready. Just doing some "paperwork" and clean-up and then we will release.

You are right, Gemma fell a bit short, as did Judy. For Judy it wasn't that obvious, since she's a bit nosey and is all around involved with every girl, but Gemma for sure got the shorter end of the stick. That's why the 1.2 release will focus on Gemma and adds a bit more Judy content.

I already updated the changelog and added some additional notes on new and changed mechanics... For those that already want to have a little peak at what new content can be expected in the next update.

We are at version 1.2.7 now. I forgot that APK user wouldn't be able to access the menu via ESC or wouldn't be able to skip. So those are some feature I had to add.

A bit of tech:

The APK installeris about 65 megs in size and will install the actual game.
The game then will ask at the beginning, if you want to install the latest version.
The first option is "no", the second option is "yes". Confirming will download the game with any available updates.
This choice is always there, since I haven't figured out a reliable way on Android to tell if there's actually an update or only files only.

The desktop version will check for updates in the main menu and then give the option to install the update. So keep an eye out of "New version available" where the version number and support buttons are.
On the desktop version, that button only appears if there's actually a new version.

There might be a "bug", where touch screen users will also have the APK update dialogue at start-up. My brain is one fire right now, so I might fix that later and y'all can test the in-game updater.

Release schedule?
We are releasing to supporters right now and see if we get any further bug reports.
If I don't get any further feedback from them, I release here shortly after.
No, don't worry, you won't have to wait a week! Give it a day or so and you'll find it here too.

Am I hyping this up too much? Maybe.
Am I sorry about that? No, unless exhaustion is an excuse.

Edit: Got a bit of feedback already and fixed the issues so far. Will see if I get anything else reported before I release here tomorrow morning (7 a.m. UTC [this is +/- 0, add or subtract your tz offset]) at the latest.
