Well this game officially sucks. Any game you cant play and is totally fucked up deserves to be killed. I will have to leave a negative review so that no one else wastes their time too.

Ehhh. What? Did you wake up on the wrong side or something? If its the engine you are complaining about everyone already knows it's buggy as hell and has bad performance if you take a look at posts from the last month, including us and everyone who bought that engine, that's why we're working hard on replacing it, and we have a deadline.

No-one is forcing you to play the game with a gun against your head, if it's not working for you and it's working for others, then that sucks for you, we're sorry but at the same not sorry that we can't support this technical mess anymore, that's why we've dropped wasting time on fixing it as it's better used at making the new version.

I find it especially funny you want to leave a negative review so "no-one wastes there time", when we have clearly stated that people might as well wait until the next release on the 25th of April, which will be on a custom built engine by yours truly, and if that somehow isn't up to the quality people expect, then I will be extremely surprised.

On the one hand, can understand you leaving negative review, on the other hand.... bruh you need you seriously chill. Triple-A studios that release a game after 6 years (or more) of development such as Mass Effect, can't even guarantee a bug-free, crash-free game... why would you expect porn games that have only existed for ~6 months in total to be bug/crash-free?

Go smoke a few joints or something, and then if you STILL think "any game you cant play is totally fucked up and deserves to be killed"... well, I challenge you to release a porn game that's better, and issue free.

Haven't yet played the v0.0.3.4, so haven't seen just how (un)playable this is yet, but if the Dev's are shifting engines (again?), I think I'll wait until after April 25th and check it all out on the new engine.

I would like to comment however, the reason I haven't played is apparently my v0033 saves don't seem to work, and I'm not a big fan of constantly restarting from Day 0 due to updating. If the Devs can look into saves translate forward properly in the future, that'd be great.

This is already implemented in the new engine, however, since it's a game in early development the story is subject to some changes, if we make improvements and do big changes, even if the previous saves work you'll miss some new content if its earlier in the story. If that happens though we'll throw out a recommendation to restart :)

Reason of your comment? v32bits just developers signature. Try to play it on 32bit OS, then comment.
I just tested the v0034 in a brand new VM 32bit Windoes 7 SP1 for around 5 minutes and had no problem. You can get the same VM image from M$ for free at:

You probably made the engine try to write the save/config folder in the game folder and use the user profile as a fall back but have you consider allowing the user to chose a save location outside the previous two? For example D:\games\saves and what logic is it going to use if allowed?

I was talking about the new engine, I have not worked on any other engine before or the previous and current version of timestamps. In VNGINE the save folder will be in Timestamps_Data/Saves, for now, the actual client settings are stored in the registry or somewhere in appdata IIRC.

In first, what platform do I need to download?
In second. It is not Half-life 3, just early erotic slide-show, 1 of 10-20 in last 5 days. Why i must lost time for all this moves? Why not do like all the other developers?
Yes, i have vintage hardware and OS, but... it just slide-show and 99% same "games" work fine.
Actually it's not only slideshow, the animations are quite amazing in this game too, and that does require better hardware, they are 1080p webm's. There's a quite significant difference running it also on 64 vs 32

I'd sugest in combination with IE11 on Win7 (x86) but it's up to you and your hardware or you can simply wait for the end of the month and test the new engine version - I'm waiting and not playing around with the old engine versions anymore.

In 2018 it amazing :winkytongue:. In year, when animopron made 3 animation in week and icstor in first version much more, than in 5 Timestamps :eek:penedeyewink:. And my cool story - "10 years ago i played in Crysis on my hardware". :ForeverAlone:
First version/versions work fine for me. In last 2-3 same problem with kernel


Yes, i am waiting too. I want to see this animation, about which everyone is writing. I do not expect more, they work too slowly.
That is the kind of comment that put a real down on motivation... THANKS! IT is super constructive to try destroying the moral when thing works great... Well The animation was introduce in last version only so it is technicly NOT 5 version of Timestamps, damn i hate this type of comment when you dont know how work it is creating this type of work. I dont probably have Icstor Hardware and supporter so we are comparing apple and orange in term of speed!

By chance we have GREAT supporter that help us continue to work on the game, please do not visit the thread anymore or play the game because you already know in advance that you will waste your time! Damn...

I wish people would stop knocking the developer. All he's doing is building a game. It's not like he is the baby eating bishop of Bath and Wells or something.

Then why release this bug filled version. I played it and thought it was ok. Not a big fan of the smoking or catching someone peeing. But those are style points and not why this deserves a negative review. I earns a negative review as the first game I have played that is completely broken. for you to get pissy about someone wanting to pass on their own bad experience with a game. One that you admit is so broken that I should have waited until the 25th to play. Yet here it is posted for download and play. BTW I asked for help twice and got no reply at all but got an expected reaction when a negative review was mentioned. Lastly this is a creative field, do not complain about complaints with a counter complaint. fix the problem or have better customer relations attitude. the consumer is always right.

When you put something on the market, there's always gonna have some complaints, it's a part of the deal.
Most devs and coders in porn games are just amateurs or newbies in creating a whole project, and surely not salesman or customers services experts.
As true as it is, learning to deal with complaints and unhappy users is part of the package, but users can and might aswell understand that those people are passionate ones and don't always have all the tools to aprehande the forthcoming troubles.
DEvs need to learn to accept the critics but it doesn't mean that users can not show empathy also..the midle road !

Btw: by a long experience, customers (paying customers) do NOT always right. They have rights but are not always right. :eek:penedeyewink:

There are too many tears in this thread. I like to see pee and smoke and others specials...
Give me a reason to believe in you with 100-200 new erotic/porn renders in 25apr.
You might be not coz 25th april is the same content with the new engine. No new materials before last days of April.
Btw if i want to see an unicorn, i just have to ask? it is a request whatever/whoever kind of game...cool..haha.

Oh please is there anywhere near as much code in this little games as mass effect? The go make your own game is also a juvenile reply as is the suggestion to go smoke pot. I do not need pot to deal with daily living events to keep myself on keel. I just do not like broken games and the re

Of course I do not mean they are correct. I was just saying the old quote. The developer didnt respond well to an unhappy camper. He should have said crap I am sorry how can I help> can you explain your problem. Nope just a normal self defense reaction. As a Professional Photog I get the odd complaint which have no basis in reality. I can either fight with my customer or give in knowing how rare the event happens. Had even the slightest effort been made I would surly give a pass. If this is the only game to ever fail for me, as a developer you might want to find out why. Not blame someone you hope will become paying supporter.

I agree,
During 3d art school cursus, i don't think there's a lot retailling/marketing classes. So basically they are not prepared to deal with customers. That being said it doesn't mean a dev cannot react correctly to it either.
As a Photog you might know how artist can be (or so called artist..you know) even the most humble ones can be a diva sometimes :)
In this specific case, i think the prob is the team is well aware of the troubles and they do what they can to respond to it, as changing the engine in the next few weeks, and it was the continious attacks against the current one which was overwhelming.
I'm not looking to find them excuses, they are adults and can defend themselves, i just tried to put me in their shoes.
As i said many times, critics are good, are essential to grow up and make things better, they just need to be based on facts and argumented.
I really like and beleive in this game, i'm hype for the future of it, i made some critics about the writings and characters development, and still beleive in it.

Anyway, the next step is the 25th, let see and judge then.

Love the game, like I said, earlier. However, I noticed that the dialogues are rather confusing, since many times the wrong character name appears above the dialogues. I also noticed that old grammar errors haven't been fixed, yet. For instance, the dialogues when mom sits on MC's lap. By the way, I got confused when the MC travels back in time. Pretty much all scenes and dialogues are identical to before traveling back in time, even MC's dialogues. That doesn't make sense. I would expect the MC to have used his knowledge of about what's going to happen and do something with that knowledge. Instead of that, the game continues into a never ending loop. Is that supposed to happen?
Well, thanks for the comment, there is change in scenario, and dialog to, if you read the dialog in the park with gaz, you clearly see that there is changes. What did not really change is the ''generic'' one in the MC room, Some empty room, this will be reorganize in next version with a more sandboxy game. :) We are correcting some bad name and typos, XENOS87 is doing it right now and we will be able to correct that!
