Talking to the dev here, not sure if he reads comments, but still.

Why would anyone who wants to earn money with this, release a first version that is so completely and utterly bugged?
That's something Ubisoft can do, or EA, but not a small Indie Dev. :)

But being completely serious, why not let a few people beta (or rather alpha) test this first, instead of making your first release a failure?
I have no idea how much that damaged your ability to make money with this, but it couldn't have helped at all.
I really wanted to try this, but when I wait all this time for the second patch and then people still report game-breaking bugs, I have no further inclination.

You're right. I fucked up. But, you know what, I'm doing this in my spare time, sometimes people make mistakes. I have just release v0.3.5 which:
- should fix all the bugs people have found.
- removed all the parts of the game people hate.
If only EA were that responsive to their players!

I am doing my best. Most of my friends are people I work with and I don't exactly work a job that is tolerant of a person's hobby if that hobby is, frankly, porn. I apologise for using this board as beta alpha testers, but I had no one else and I trust an anonymous person's opinion more. If I don't make a lot of money, fine. As my patreon page says, I would just like to recoup my costs. Anything else is a bonus and, if I don't get that, ok. After all, I'm not giving up my day job for this. I'd like to think people would support me because the story is good, the art is acceptable and the programming doesn't break. If the programming is broken, then I will do my best to fix it. The story is still good, and I hope you all, like me, grow to love the narrator who has, frankly, more of a personality than the MPC (and I wrote them both!)

How many times can I still get the stuff? The password is not saved and no matter where and how I search I can not find a key.


if you want to make an annoying game you almost made it (congratulations)
That is the infamous inventory bug. That should be fixed in v0.3.5*

* for those that want to know, I had the variable called in the wrong init block which meant it was reset everytime the game loaded. It was a simple error that now (fingers crossed) has been fixed.

I will miss the hacking tool minigame. It was an inventive one really. But required some wits and people don't like to think in these kinda VNs :sneaky:

So this is just another stereotypical huge breasted mother game which makes up 99% of these games so my question is. Are there other girls to go after like the blonde and can the mother be ignored?

Haha, no, definitely not the blonde. You don't even wanna know whats up with the blonde :LOL::ROFLMAO: So no, no blonde. Just the landlady for now. And landlady can't be ignored. Its a story about mc and landlady.

Well thanks for the info I'll go ahead and click the ignore thread on this one then as if you have seen one huge breasted mother you've seen them all. Maybe one day someone will make a game with a mother that has small breasts.

Or how about women with normal (average) proportions. The extremes in either way is a turn off regardless.

An office party.
Is that a real English expression or an error on the dev's side?
I mean, I'm no native speaker, but my English is quite good and I absolutely never heard that before.

Then you just never heard it. Yes, its a thing, a colleague leaving party. Throw a little party for someone who quits/retires on good terms and the office give him/her a cake, stuff like that.
"You are dead to us Hope you fail" cake? google it :)

Hey, I think we don't have a problem at all with being the testers, but in this case you should have been open about this.
If you had written, "this is a test release, help me find the bugs."
Or something like that, that would really have been better.
People saw 0.3 and were expecting a working release and that is what prompted the reactions here, mine included.

And I don't want to attack you at all by asking this, I'm just really curious, considering the state the game was in before the bugfixes, did you not at least try to play through it once by yourself as a normal player?

for the developer:

The hacking mini game was interesting, I personally feel it could have done with some tweaking rather than removing for example:

-When you get a correct letter it would appear in a section on the screen so at the end you can see all the letters and be able to visually look and think about the answer.

-Maybe have a list of the words that are possible answers be on the screen as well if you had the conversations that revealed them.

Hm, I did just google it, but I didn't get any hit for "colleague's leaving do."
I did get hits for a "colleague's leaving," but that doesn't surprise me.
