pretty nice game and the size pretty compact according to its features. I wasn't overwhelmed by the robotic like animations by the main character, but the following ones ingame are quite well done. In my first run through the game i wished i would have gotten a hint according to the agents (or better, the stats i should have at that time). Overall a game that kept me going through and even replay. I enjoyed it. Thank you !

Seriously, the bloke that makes this game is very paranoid.. I spent like 3 hours trying to break the code he used for generating his Patreon premium codes... Like.. Seriously? He randomises a fucking Hex(I think thats what its called, havent slept for 2-3 days now, its the odd "0x212313" kind of code)? then loops the randomized number through two loops only to finally use another hex to out the final number..
Well, the downside with him doing it like this is that I now know how, and I can generate as many codes as I wish.

I know
But I was curious how he was doing it, if he was just giving out codes he made up to backers, or if he was actually silly enough to give us both lock AND key to his little improvised DRM.Besides, if I ever were jerk enough to rub his nose in the fact we broke the DRM on a game we were currently enjoying for free, then I'd wager that its easier to share keys rather than try to share out a cracked copy
well, i actually generated all the codes by initiated a Random class with a number i put in by randomly hitting a numpad keys. it took 3 lines of code. of course i could have put in more safeguards to prevent cracking, but i don't really care too much. the game was intended to be free at first and there were no premium codes in first two versions. but the support was so low, that i was considering to abandon the development. but as a last option, i decided to try put in the premium codes and it worked. now i have enough support that the development is worthwhile for me and can continue.
if the game is finished, it will be free anyway. if the game and my production will be known enough that i will get the support even without the need of premium codes, that would be even better and i will cancel them entirely. but it doesn't seems to be the case right now. so to get the compensation for the time i spend with the development, this seems to be the only way even if i don't like it.

To be honest, if you want to safe guard it you could do it a lot easier (Though this method wouldnt stop people who just ignore the entire line that checks for the code).
Basically, dont place the generation of the code inside the code for the game
Keep the generation of the code to yourself, that way if anyone went out of their way to share the codes being generated, you could make them invalid from your side fairly easily.Though it does not seem you care enough to do that, which I guess is a good thing. DRM is a road paved with excuses (From both sides) and usually just gets in the way of legit customers.
I would support you, but seeing as I have enough issues making sure I have food by the end of the month I've decided to save that for when I have a job again xD

You wouldn't need that code if you're downloading the version with the super regen or Code 69 already implemented in it (It's basically an already modded game with it put in it so you don't have to constantly re-enter the code in every time you re-load the game)
He's released version 1.1 on his patreon (or tumblr) page now... It's not modded but that premium code (39741024) works for v1.1 or at least it does of now (though there's no automatic regen for your stats like before).

This one is 40MB guessing the file size jumped a bit with all the extra bits added this update for the randomized character apearance?

Last I check (from beginning of the project), he made his own engine.

If you mean dev's own mods, they get updates at the blog / website, please see OP (first post). You may check there once in a while for news, can post here if you find something interesting.
No cheat as far as I know. There is a guide produced by the dev (not up to date), in which it's mentioned you can postpone FBI investigation by up to 5 days (up to day 35):

If you pass FBI investigation / testing you can go on. I don't know the total amount of days the game will run though.

Good news is, that your aunt is coming to town for a work trip. Bad news is that Charlotte is once again fighting with her little sister. So she is planning to stay in a hotel, even though there is a plenty of room in your house for a guest. You have a limited window of opportunity to improve the siblings relationship between your mother and your aunt. As a reward, you will be able to spend more quality time with your aunt. And who knows, maybe you can improve their relationship event beyond standard family ties.
So, next version of TS will have a new character - your aunt. But you will have to complete a quest to even meet with her. I would also like to add a testing version of an aforementioned x-ray vision. I'm finishing with a complete model of woman parts for it and it is looking pretty good.
Next version is planned to be released in approx. 3 weeks
That is from his patreon page,
It's amazing how he quickly updates his game.
It's always good to keep an eye on his pages.
