What's broken about it?
Where to start..Okey, the quest system is useless. All it says is "Progress with X" ok? how? just grind points? cus i've done that for ages and nothing changes.
The main quest seems to consist of just 2 things before end of content message. Eat with family and reply to email (which btw is just a bunch of morsecode).
Brendas night scene keeps repeating. According to the quest log the classmates progress is suspended until aunt leaves but the aunt just sits on the couch begging for wine like a useless drunk.
There is more but tldr is, hint system is useless and events not triggering.

Tbh I'm feeling like I should scrap the whole thing and make some generic DAZ trash. People only seem to care about graphics sadly.

If 1 person complaining about graphics gets you down like this you probably shouldnt be making games tbh.

I've developed games before and know to expect criticism. It's just, as i've seen, DAZ games and the like tend to be the most popular. I'm just going to toy around with the lighting to make scenes look more pleasing, but that's the most I can do with this engine.

Daz is the most popular yes but most of them are as you say generic looking and frankly dull. Games that look different are mostly welcome in my eyes atleast.

Really enjoying the game and the animations! If anyone could help it would be appreciated but having trouble finding how to progress with the aunt as I can only give her wine on the couch!

Dev keep up the great work!

DAZ has the problem of "same face syndrome", people make minor adjustments but you can still tell it's the same model and it kinda ruins it for me. I much prefer games with unique and stylized proportions. Really all you have to do is work a bit on the shading/lighting and take a bit more care with how you handle your deformations.
Keep up the good work man, don't get discouraged.

Also, there seems to be a bug with progressing Liz's content near the end? It just gives a frozen screen when trying to play a game with her again in your room, so I can't progress with her anymore. Here's the error log if I hit D to progress:

Edit: I can progress with her, but apparently her Affection has to be at 90 or higher, then the Let's Play A Game option won't freeze. So something to fix in that code path on line 942 of game/Liz.rpy.

Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Really enjoying the game and the animations! If anyone could help it would be appreciated but having trouble finding how to progress with the aunt as I can only give her wine on the couch!

Dev keep up the great work!
If you check your phone there is a quest log that gives you a tip on what to do next. Basically after giving wine, go to your room during the "Day" period. Keep looking at the quest log for further tips.

The only new content i've found is the handjob from the sister and the boobjob from liz. Is that all there is? The questlog says I'm done.

Your quest log should still say to progress with Liz if all you've done is a boob job. Have you also done the stuff at June's place and mom? Quest log will say "progress with relationship" when you're not done yet.

Actually that should say boobjob(at home) not handjob, I think I got auto corrected. I've had sex in the bath with her too. Is there more? The changelog implies there is also with Brenda I've done the breast message without bra, but I did both these things in the last update. What's new with this one?

It was the second half of the last update 0.08, so it's short. Next update will continue the story proper and some Brenda scenes.

I'm still missing the bottom 3 scenes on page 2 of te gallery and the only thing my quest log says for any character or the main quest is to buy Jane wine (also right under that it says it's the end of the questline for her). Have been doing that non-stop and her affection is already up to 300

yeah, I'm still missing four scenes even though it says I've reached the end of the quest line with everyone.. just keep getting the same scenes over and over again

Quest system does need some work, it'll take some work but a bit of fine tuning on progression would be nice with the affection level.

Like a #/# affection level to unlock counter instead of total hearts would be one suggestion.

The animation videos in between fixed screens
hots are superb addition to this type of render model, I haven't seen better with this type of art style to date so I'm happy with that.

Otherwise I think that Liz and Kate are pretty cute by their own rights with this style of art
The Mentor/neighbor are good, but a tiny bit rough, some scenes seem less quality but I'm ok with it for now in its infancy.

4* from me atm with room to grow
