There is no new content progressing the game. v.0155 is an update solely replacing the wife's models from v.010 to v.013 and adding some new scenes to the first three days, so all the new content is at the beginning of the game.

You must restart the game and all future updates will run off of v.0155 not v.0151 as I've added additional flags to the first three days that will create errors.

I will look into the bug after my lectures this afternoon, please make sure you've restarted the game though as that particular flag is defined at the games start as it's a Day 1 flag.

That's a bit disappointing, but I can understand it. The game is one of the better ones and I hope that the story will continue soon :)

I like the new look.

I have to still disagree, White Phantom. I appreciate that you were showing unintended consequences. Had she gotten yelled at and cried it might have worked. But it damages the character that he didn't step in, as both a cop and a teacher (who are mandated to report abuse.) Also makes him a total puss. The wife's "it's my kid" line is not only the poorest of excuses but it makes no sense that the MC does not push back. She expects you to drive "her kid" to school and do other fatherly duties, but then decides to pull that card? Nobody would stand for that. It's also inconsistent with the writing, when you can push back in other instances. I think if there was pushback and an argument it might make it feel more like a real marriage.

I love the game otherwise, great work.
Everyone one it would seem would be surprised at how and how often the "it's my kid" line is used. Sometimes even when both are the biological parent ( strangely enough). Being angry at that moment allows you to justify a lot of bad actions and choices, also being the one that is watching it unfold you're usually so shocked at what the other person is doing you don't react you're self. Just because he's a cop and has training doesn't always change that fact.

do you have version control in the savegames? I'd like to suggest a catch case that adds the flags if not present this way.

You should never release an update without some sort of story/content progression unless it is to fix a game breaking bug. Tech updates should be rolled into a new content release, even if the new content is 'lite'.

That being said, I really do love this game and wish it does well.

I suspect it's because it's to replace the wife model. It required redoing a lot of (early) scenes, so it took a lot of time, but it was important as she was putting off a lot of new players. I do not speak on behalf of the developer, of course, but I suspect that was the reason it 'couldn't wait'.

all the new content/lines fleshing out the earlier story so far..the MC is truly a douche..i want the MC to get shot some more..LOL...
Yeah, just replayed as well, this time trying to go for the good-guy-route but even then MC is a total fuckwad.
My biggest gripe though is that bitch Dusk. You can already see that she's too important a character for the story so it's not gonna happen but i just wish we could put a bullet in her head the first time we meet her face to face. No cat and mouse game, just straight up clock her the moment she shows up. :tf:

All this time wasted to replace a f* model, good job. The developer should have just kept the old one and ignored those whining about it, there's plenty of hot models already. It was a big mistake imo.

White Phantom was transparent throughout these changes and asked for community feedback both here and on the Patreon page. This is his first VN and I like that he went back and fixed some issues. Please though, continue to throw the peanuts from the gallery after showing up late.

Just me or the game ends in 0.151? Or it's just a mistaken?
This update was mainly focused on updating the wife from the start of the game for consistency as the original look was roundly panned and made the wife route difficult for a lot of players due to her fugglyness. The next update will move the story along.

Don't think the ending message was updated, not really any new content after the ending of .151 All the content was remodel of wife, and I believe the animation was for her as well.
