Well, I guess everyone who wants to know knows ;).

I am indeed working on the game again and I'm completely rebuilding the game.

Progress reports and more information are on my Patreon. I hope to be able to do an initial release soon.

You know I was hesitant at first, as I feel many devs reboot their games to extend the longevity of their patreon income, by making it so the game won't be done for a while, but I think this is a worthy improvement (not to mention the dev wasn't sucking up patreon money). It's a shame to have to have to take a few steps back in one way (the threesomes are always my favourite parts), but the improvements far outweigh the downside of having to go back a little. The majority of the game seems to still be here. Excited to how it progresses

Think this is a great idea especially if it makes your job easier and the project less of a hassle for you to work on - best of luck

I like this improvement, but the game still feels VERY grindy. I'm not opposed to having to repeat various actions a couple of times, but if you're doing the same thing, over and over and over, for weeks on end, that gets to be much. I'd love to see this game rebalanced so that you do a handful of actions to unlock a scene rather than grinding for stat levels.

Thank you for the feedback. Balance is indeed the factor that I'm the most unsure about. Can you tell me more specific which parts are the most out of balance? Is the relationship stats, money, the faithfulness or all the above?

Huh, I guess I'm in the minority (according to the dev notes) for always preferring images and gifs to video. Never found a game where sitting through some out of context porn clips did much for me.

I'm a bit leery of remakes so will probably wait another update or two before dipping back in.

I did a poll a while back (now I think about it, more then half a year back) here on f95 and on Patreon and a majority was pro video indeed.

But I get your point.
I did keep the videos as short as possible (around 20 seconds max) and they should flow well with the story (that has always been the goal). They are not just random picked scenes. It actually took me quite some time to select the right videos for the specific scenes and then to cut the right parts out of the full videos.

Anyway, give it a try and you might like it ;)

There is a free preview on my Patreon which contains one basic scene, I mean things have changed since then as well, but it gives an indication.

Edit:

Heya Royarus. I'm all for the improvements this rebuild is bringing, especially if it allows you to more easily add/alter content in the future. I know what it feels like trying to add to code that feels like a Jenga tower. That said, lost content will always be disappointing. I look forward to seeing what you add in (and add back in).

The character portraits at the corner for each location is quite convenient and appreciated. I would humbly suggest adding them to the path needed to reach the character, at least to some degree. For example, at the Weekday Afternoon at the Entrance seeing the Noelle portrait on the Garden. I have no idea how difficult that would be to implement, nor how time consuming, though it seems a nice QoL improvement on top of what we already have. If its too troublesome, just going to each "hub" instead of EVERY location is already quite nice.

I noticed a few typos that bugged me. You seemed to go too fast typing "with" and instead got "wiht". This happens in both scenes helping in the nursery "You help Sarah/Noelle wiht Peter." They show up as lines 4863 and 7573 in notepad++. No idea if that helps you in terms of finding them.

I also noticed a few cases of "peter" instead of "Peter". Lines 2317, 6394, 7248, and 9149. "(name), can't you see I'm with peter now. Please leave us." "You see Noelle grabbing some food for herself and peter."You make lunch for Noelle and peter, which is appreciated." "No, yes, I.. I need you to find Noelle, grab peter and leave the house for a couple of hours."

Would you want comments like these? (I probably won't notice anything else because my grammar is pretty trash... but if I do?) If so, are the line number at all helpful? Regardless, thank you for creating the game.

Thank you for the feedback it is really much appreciated!!

I'll think about your comment about the paths as I get your point.
As for the typo's, I can't do a lot with the line numbers, but Twine does have a good search engine, so if you say which words I spelled wrong I'll be able to find them ;)

Thank you either way!

Can you send me your save game from where it went wrong?

I have a similar issue. I placed the sleeping pill in Noelle's plate but sarah is the one who's sleeping through the morning. Also, I can't seem to trigger the Friday night event. My relationship with Noelle is at 200 and I found the flyer in her room. I try to stay up but a certain point it just teleports me to bed.

Ah, I see the mistake I made with the sleepingpill, I'll fix that. Thank you for telling me.
As for the event:
Friday or Saturday night, time: night, relation above 90, faith below 80, you have to be somewhere in the house, event triggers automatically.

"Sarah keeps quite and accepts you fucking her ass some more." quite -> quiet
"(name), I'm having a bath, can I please have some peace and quite?" quite -> quiet
"Noelle makes very clear what she means buy fun." buy ->by
"We where in the movies as you suggested." where -> were

I'm shocked I noticed these. I rarely, if ever, do.

I see, so how do you lower faithfulness?
