Re-DL the game. The first version was not good, I re-uploaded the links with the good version.

Please do a small rename (like .1 or fix) on fixed so I know I got the new fixed version please
Easier to see if gotten the right version, Did a re-download from mega yesterday and again today, but it seems to be the same version as i had before or i need to start from a save longer back then one i used

Thank You

I was considering lowering this specific event to 250 and giving a buff to the repeatable evening fuck with Lacy at your pool.
It gives you +0 Relation and it's a mistake on my part. If I put a +20 like any other repeatable event, it should be OK.

Also, if you choose the path where you don't have Lacy/Alina shared event (With the guitar), you're missing a few Relation points.

Yeah that's why I went to the beach at night, because +5 > +0, even if I'd rather fuck Lacy of course. If that event gave +20 and you maybe lowered the reqs slightly to 250 or 280 or something, or delayed meeting the next people after Lacy just a bit so we'd be more inclined to automatically rack up some points with her?

That said though, the game is awesome, the models you've chosen by and large are great looking gals (especially Aidra Fox, my god I had no idea), I like the story, the logic and the general concept. That said, I hope the Spinney 2 has a bit more of a refined UI, if there's a place we go often, having to back out of a room, then a house, then going to a different house is slightly more cumbersome than pressing a 'Spinney' button that just dumps you in their living room from anywhere. With regards to Jillian and Aidra that really live elsewhere, I can sort of understand how you keep the feeling of distance that way, but when the house is across the street (like the Alina/Ariana/Emily house) I don't think 2 extra clicks do that much for immersion.

Though, its tough to balance a clean looking UI with functionality. And unlike Son of a Bitch which has a large permanent white bar on the left where you can perfectly put location links, the Spinney is quite minimalist so we have a large viewing area, which I enjoy. I hope it goes slightly less minimalistic in Spinney 2, but I am still excited for it regardless.

But I hope you understand I say these things as someone hoping the best for and from your game since I really appreciate it, I don't bother with criticism on games I got no faith in usually.

I won't answer to every point, because we already discussed a lot about water system on this topic. I'm aware that it needs to be improved on a few points you mentionned.
I also want to improve the sandbox side of the game. Today it's a sandbox, but the events/stories follow a specific path. It's logic when we talk about the main event but I want to change it for side stories. Exploration will become the center of it.

Later, in the Spinney 2, I also want to rework the management gameplay. The girls should participate more in every task, and the goal will be to manage the girls instead of managing each gameplay. (You will still have the possibility to help around, of course.)
Without giving too much spoil, let's say that with your crew (harem) growing up, you need to manage people instead of working in every field. It will be less "I spam (work on) something" and more "I manage ressources I've built in the Spinney 1."

About the specific quote: " it robs players of content". It's not exactly what it's said in the game. If you ignore and don't go to your garden, or watertank, or greenhouse, you may miss a few events, but not a lot. They are all sides events, and it's not blocking you in the game. it's not linked with the cheat being enable or not.
The bigest one is the watermelon event with Vina in your garden (it happens quickly in the game).
But eh, it's like every sandbox game: If you ignore completely a location in a game (with gameplay or not), you may miss a few side quests, it's not a 100% linear game.

You should make the game you want. All I am expressing is that I quit, the water system broke me. I found it added nothing to the game in terms of core game loop, content and you get a string of days where it doesn't rain and you have all the girls you are losing so much water per day that the game becomes unfun. I stopped playing. I think I had two days of rainfall over 10 days and when you have all the girls You can lose over 70L per day. So the ability to get ahead of the system when it doesn't rain is near impossible. I could stay on top of things but all I was doing was getting water over and over again, for over a week. Sure it "might" be realistic during a dry spell but I don't want games to be work, I want them to be fun. I might try your 2nd game if you make it spinney 2 but I just hate games that require RNjesus to be fair for the mechanic to work because RNG by its very nature in the real world is unfair and in programs it isn't even random so if the seed you gets sucks your experience of sequential results will just be bad.

Why not using the automatic water mode in the game? You will not miss a scene. Ok the water system may not be the best one, but the dev already worked a lot on the game to make it playable for everyone.
If you're not enjoying management, you can disable it. Everyone has their tastes, no problem, but why complaining about something you can skip?

Because cheating isn't my style and secondly if you don't play the game how can you critique it?

First, I really loved the game up to a certain point, like game version 0.13 or so. At least you don't get the typical living with mom and two sisters game that rip off the same porn stars and scenes over and over. However, I must admit that the additional water management stuff really kind of killed the game for me. Does it keep the player engaged no, is it a further thing dragging on your nerves, yes! I admit it makes sense to get clean water and harvest food in a post-apocalyptic setting, but I don't feel any immersion. I enjoy modest management and building up things, but this is getting too much.

Hi
it has been a while sine I last played this game and I still very much enjoy it. Only just starting a new playthrough. I had noticed some slightly distorted images last time but when I mentioned before I could not recall cases

Here is one, when you meet Kenzie in the living room at your house. The image is a attached, there are several images in the scene, generally those full screen

Small typo in the scene
"You have so much informations on plants and gardening"
informations should be information

Also I am at relation 68 with Vina, noted as story progression 1/10. At the pool when she is there no image is shown for her at all either just there or if you spend time with her. Previously there were images and there will be later (well there were in my previous play a couple of versions ago)
And in your phone when checking Vina's details I find it quite hard to read with the pink font on a light grey background. Kenzie with the red font is much, much easier to read. Can you please darken the font used for Vina please?

Still, a really, really good game!! Thanks!

EDIT:
another small typo, meeting Kenzie in her bedroom at night and she has the pink tail
"Of course...I mean something's got go be supporting the tail, what else"
go should be to

EDIT:
another scene, training Kenzie's throat, first time as such, image attached

EDIT:
talking to Lacy in the attic bedroom once she arrives
"Do you have seen operations aiming the blood of the dead?"
I skipped to this too quickly I am unsure what is meant here, particularly 'aiming' here. At least
"Have you seen operations aiming the blood of the dead?"
or maybe
"Have you seen operations upon the blood of the dead?"

 

[cmacleod42]

Hi
some more small notes from my play through

- image seeing Ariana sleeping in the bath after she arrives is also distorted a bit

- after finding some strawberries in the forest, an option in the spinny house
"Leeave some strawberries for Kenzie and Lacy"
Leeave should be Leave

In the neighbours house kitchen
"Let some strawberries for the girls"
Let should be Leave
Also here if you choose the option it says
"You decide to let strawberries for Ariana and Alina"
Here let should be leave or preferable 'leave some'
I will note at this point in my play through I have not met Alina, she is not listed in the phone etc so this option is incorrect here.

I am playing version 0.16. Kenzie's story progression is at 7/10 and the overall story is at step 26. All the girls except Kenzie are either awaiting another girl's story line or the main story line. Kenzie's hints says "no more hints." Any suggestions? I do notice she needs lotion for a sunburn, but I can't find anything for that problem so far and I don't know if that's related to her being stuck at step 7. Any solution or suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks much.

Thanks much.

I don't understand your problem. The hint for the main Story: "Go to your living room in the morning." When I go here in the morning, the next event triggers normally.

You don't see the Main Story hint? It's the first one of the list.

My question had to do with Kenzie. I have continued to progress the main story (and the other girls), but Kenzie's clue continues to say "no more hints" so I am stuck with her. My latest save is attached. By the way, at the point I am at now, the hint for Athena says "I need to continue exploration with Emily (exploration mode in your living room in the afternoon). I think this is a bug as the exploration mode appears to be in MC bedroom in the morning or afternoon. All you find in the Living Room in the afternoon is Vanna.

Yes I've moved it to bedroom in the last version but i forgot to change the hint

 

[cmacleod42]

A bug I think, I have a message flagged for Adira, but when I click on the new message option, it just says "no message".

I am at story progression 4/10, relation 71, lust 45, last did the scene to level up to oral sex with her. Save is attached

Edit:
a day or two later I checked again and I got an actual message from Adira. If it matters I also had one from Vanna at the same time

I understand your point now."No more hints" is not a bug, it means the main event are all done for this girl.

Kenzie has a lot of side events, but not a long main story (for now.).

You will reach this point for all girls at the end of the version.

 

[BCGuy]

I am near the end of version 0.16 and seem to be stuck. Everything is at the "no more hints" level except Lacy, Athena, and Emily. First Lacy: says I need to up her relation. It's already at 254. How much higher does it need to go? Second, Athena. It says I need to up her lust, but there is no interaction with her that increases lust. Where do I need to find her to get more lust? Finally, for Emily, it says explore the workshop. I have explored it at least 20 times and I never find anything except fuel, which doesn't advance Emily. Is that a bug? I appreciate answers to these three questions. I am attaching my latest save in case you need it.
