For what it's worth, the titular roommate is the MC. He is the roommate of Kari (at home) and Lois (at work).I got it, i was just having some fun with my last replies. I'll shut up and go play now

I'm not sure you understand what "Roommate" means if you think it applies to Lois. She doesn't live with him, and won't unless she becomes his girlfriend. Staying over for the weekend while she recovers from surgery isn't enough to qualify as a roommate.For what it's worth, the titular roommate is the MC.

BTW, MC is the roommate - he shares a space both at home and at work!
That is true, but that's why the version number starts with a zero!The dev has a habit of going back and changing up bits and pieces with each new update, which will often cause conflicts with any mods (and means that it's not always advisable to pick up a game from right at the end of the previous update, even in the vanilla game: Going back a few in-game days or a week will often throw up new additions).
Not going to quote everything, but responses to most of the questions/criticisms (the praise I'll just gratefully accept):Reactions to 0.9.9 and Reactions to 0.9.12
It really wasn't. She went in on Thursday, day 67, and came home on Saturday, day 69. That's two nights.Lois wanting to drive home is just her being stubborn. She didn't want to leave her car there so she left well before MC was due to pick her up. And it really was just one night in the hospital.
Don't use jumps when you want to show a screen. Just show it, and hide it again when you're done. I can have a quick look at what needs changing if you can't figure it out. It should be pretty simple though.As to the issue with it advancing the dialog, I'll have to ask you if you can point me to how to avoid that.
You're quite right - I wasn't thinking of the night MC stays there.It really wasn't. She went in on Thursday, day 67, and came home on Saturday, day 69. That's two nights.

It feels like that for a reason.(...) It feels like the game is designed for Kari to be a GF and Lois to be a side-piece. (...)
So, are the phone usages still just these, or have there been some new stuff?Currently, there is only a few uses for the phone. Spoiler just in case.

Otherwise, I think that is all the uses for the phone at the moment.
As far as I know, nothing new has been added (meaning phone calls). It has had an overhaul, but no new phone calls.So, are the phone usages still just these, or have there been some new stuff?
As Gregers said, Kari (the redhead) was always intended to be the main LI - it says as much in the blurb for the game. Lois was originally intended to be the slutty secretary and very much a side character, but she's fun and easy to write, and by virtue of her job, MC spends a lot of time with her.So I liked this, I'm into some of the girls, there's some hot content, and I like that there's multiple routes for the girls.
However, it sorta feels forced and restrictive in a way.
Take Kari ... I'm not into her
Lois has the reverse problem
I wasn't so into the all phone/calendar thing either
Well, considering how much we're paying some of them....who does not like chicks for free
Im more a fan of Money for nothing.....who does not like chicks for free
That's some interesting stuff. You never really think about a lot of these things until you're working the virtual backlot firsthand.Just some silly examples of the things you don't think about when you're playing/critiquing a game:
- new outfits for most characters EVERY time you see them, often involving fixes or modifications to the stock objects
- approximately 1000 new renders for Week 10 of the game
Saturday - Day 69:
- make Kari's car keys (actually done for an earlier release, but had to be made by me)
- make the cotton swabs and the little kidney tray the nurse is using as she takes care of Lois
- the phones MC and Kari have - made by me when they first had them
- Lois's and Kiki's chokers - made by me (they're different generations of figure so each one is made to fit)
- the texture for Kiki's tatoo, originally an iray decal, now part of her actual skin texture - a major pain in the ass
- little things like the magazines on the shelf unit by the door
- Kiki's nipple tassels
Sunday - Day 70:
- fixing the textures for the "new" waitress at the pizza place (that was me having a little fun - she was a very popular model years ago but wasn't made to today's standards)
- way too much time spent on trying to make convincing spilled coffee (a fail, in my opinion, but I tried!)
- making chicken soup (that it turns out you never actually see because of the camera angle)
- making a single slice of pizza from a model that was originally half of a pizza
- fix the UV maps for the parking lot the apartments sit on
- rejigging the exterior model of the apartment complex so the bloody interior actually lines up
- new tires for MC's car (compare how it looks when you drop Lois off with the older images)
- rebuild the truck that originally had doors on the back to have working rolling shutters
- make a version of a cardboard moving box so the bottom breaks open
- make the little shipping boxes for Gina's toys
- make a reasonably convincing "gel" texture for Lois's dildo
Going forward, Week Eleven requires a rebuild of the executive suite to allow for them expanding MC's office.
I'm also working on the new house that MC will move into with the sisters if you follow that path. I ended up buying a model (while it was on sale, fortunately) that looked like a good match for the other buildings, so that helps, but there's a lot of work to be done, nonetheless.
Finally, I freely admit I'm a really shitty animator, that's really hard work for me!
