free roam and minigames ruin the whole game, don't add something to the game that you can't do right
btw you say that free roam is optional, but you can't skip it in the game

There will be a dark path. A big part of the rework is adjusting the pacing and characterization to better suit both playstyles.
looking forward to that, i like dark games, for vanilla and boring i have my life LOL

So, I tried this out just because I was bored and looking through F95. Spent a day exploring the existing content, was a bit disappointed to reach the end, and ended up buying the early access on Steam just to keep an eye on the development. If I had any more spare change in my Steam wallet, I might have even bought the VIP DLC, sadly my wallet only had enough for the base game at this time.

Discovered yesterday, really a good game. Good story, well written, funny, very good graphics, various.
For me 7/10 (where BaDIK is 10 and Defending Lidia Collier is 9)

Okay....I like the story except with some severe moments of author self insert here and there. Like dude, no normal person uses the word "mansplain" on a date. Especially a chill bartender who is clearly not a radical feminist. Also the college girl who didn't know she could be bisexual because her parents are religious? Duuuuuuuuude, cell phones? Computers? Popular culture? The fact that she doesn't know she likes dudes even after having up to anal sex with the MC and liking it? Yeah it was for money but she liked it.
I really like how if you take your time talking to Sarah on the balcony, she gets pretty drunk. That's a nice touch.

The sandboxes are part of the story, so you will miss bits of story if you skip them, yes. Nothing major, iirc, but the stopwatch can be a part of the puzzle so you may miss some timestop content too.
We're still working out how we want to update the freeroam sections for the upcoming rework.

May I suggest getting rid of them completely?
While it has some fans, most people hate time-filler freeroam sections.
I for one, often don't even try those games, let alone ever thinking of supporting them.

Earlier in this thread, ApocalypseToday said repeatedly the freeroam and the minigames aren't going anywhere.
I don't mind them, so I'm not going to push for their removal.
I'm sure somebody will respond "More people will check out the game on Steam if you listen to feedback here." I don't want to speak for AT (who's on vacation right now), so I'm not going to speculate what the response would be. Ultimately I'm just a hired gun. It's AT's call what is and isn't allowed in the game.

I don't do "edgelord". I'm 100% serious and I'm sure plenty of others would do the same given that sort of power, particularly if they are "evil" to begin with (quotes are due to what's right/wrong, good/evil, etc being just matters of opinion). I'm just one of the few to openly admit it. Not giving too much of a shit about cancel culture or what other people think is quite liberating, you should try it.

not sure what the F the dev did but the previous version was miles better than this "more refined version", (referring to the retcon at the start),
was looking forward to the new update, now just disappointed.

I dont usually post my dev diaries here simply because there's no "schedule post" feature but I've copied the below from my patreon as I think the bottom section will interest a few people here:
Dev Diary #55
Hello again!
The weeks seem to be flying by at the moment at a rapid pace... I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing?
We've been working hard on 0.3.2 and since the decision last week to stop supporting previous saves, we have fully embraced the opportunity to tidy up the code, the game flow mechanics, variable assignments...basically all of the things we COULDN'T before but can now. These changes won't have any visible impact for players but will increase the efficiency of programming and bug fixing going forwards which again should help speed up development in future releases.
We have also taken the opportunity to assess the current "stats" system (the lust / opinion points) and we have some great ideas how we can tweak this to better suit the game progression whilst still keeping things interesting...more details will follow in this particular aspect in the coming dev diaries once we have solid information.
Also, something else that will be VERY interesting to some players or prospective players...
INTERACTIVE MODE / VISUAL NOVEL MODE:
We intend to implement 2 different ways of playing the game so that you can enjoy playing in exactly the way you prefer. Players will get to choose their preferred style when starting a new game.
Interactive Mode:
Interactive mode is the same mode that previous players are familiar with. It will contain free roam, minigames (togglable) and interactive scenes.
Visual Novel Mode:
This is a brand new mode that is for the visual novel purists. It will still contain all dialogue scenes and the player can still make the same choices to affect the story. There will be NO free roam, minigames or interactive scenes...these will instead be replaced with full pre-defined dialogue driven scenes, just like the rest of the game. For example rather than the 'gym free roam scene' there will be a regular gym dialogue scene. This means the game can be played ENTIRELY as a visual novel if that's what you prefer.
Lastly as a quick progress update, we are approximately 75% through the chapter 2 rewrite. Don't forget that 0.3.2 will contain BOTH chapter 2 and 3, so it won't be ready until we finish both chapters and the code improvements and stat changes etc. As soon as we have dates in mind we will let you know.
Thanks again for reading, speak again soon!
