Thank you for the above link. The videos don’t seem to work, are they playable on mobile? (iPhone)?

Wow that really sucks. I just doublechecked the link and it seems to work for me when I use google chrome, allow cookies, and use my desktop. I have unfortunately not tested/designed the game around mobile. Worst case scenario, you can download the game from one of the links and play it locally.
No worries, thanks anyway! Is mobile compatibility something you will introduce later? Or will it be purely desktop?
I'm honestly not even sure where I would begin for mobile compatibility. I think I'll probably have to restrict development to desktop only since I am a solo dev. Have you tried this
You must be registered to see the links
by any chance?No worries, was just curious
and yeah same issue

It looks like a really beautiful and promising game. Is this your first game? If it's your first game, how long was the development process? Did you follow any "game design documents" during the development process? I'm asking all these questions because I'm an amateur game developer myself and when I skim through the content, I see a LOT of work. I wish you continued success. Good luck!
Interesting premise, decent interface and good selection of characters. I had some issues with couple of scenes playing, one is mmf with Karlee, no option to see the scene playing when going ot her place and other was scene with Emily and football players going with her to nightclub, there is a clickable option to follow them and see the scene but it transitions to regular event where MC visits her house. I don't know if those pics are present as placeholders for future scenes not implemented or some kind of a bug. There are also some pics in img folder that i hadn't been able to see like Eva naked, same as Alexis, etc, they might be some kind of placeholder for future stories as well because i hadn't manage to see anything else with them and characters option is specifying there is nothing new with them and it's an end of the character arc for now.
Thank you for your kind words, this is actually my first game! I was VERY on an off scripting the game since last October/November, so don't take that as a dedicated timeline. It was more like when life permitted/when I was motivated, I'd build out the story and add stuff.It looks like a really beautiful and promising game. Is this your first game?

The major thrust of the development happened in the month leading up to the alpha dropping. In my head, I always envisioned it as the game to end all porn games lmaoo, so I knew I would need to rigorously pursue optimizations in size wherever I could. I came from a moderately strong coding background, so technically, the game wasn't super difficult. My main time sinks were sometimes in fixing retarded bugs in some of my more complex widgets, then content development + logic handling. My 0.01 was a ultra rough sketch, and I'm much more happy with 0.02 haha. I took a 1 month break before finally coming back to 0.02 just due to burnout from personal deadlines I set for myself.
Feel free to rip off my code, but I (at the moment) wouldn't really recommend trying to decipher what the hell I did. Overall principles I would recommend:
1) think very deeply about the systems you want in game before coding.
2) widgets can be your friend or your enemy, there is no such thing as a versatile widget. Keep them as simple as possible, then build more complicated second order widgets
3) While it sucks, object oriented programming will save you life. I have god knows how many state variables that I use to control game flow, and games are one of the most intuitive use cases for OOP principles.
My game is really not code you want to emulate (at the moment, maybe in future updates it will be more robust). I would recommend looking at other popular projects, and seeing what you can borrow from their code. I am also planning (far far far far far far far in the future) on making a basic game template + tutorial that other people can use to quickly script and shoot games off into the wild. Some of the stuff I see on gamcore is dogshit, and honestly, I don't entirely blame the devs.

Thank you very much for your concern. Your advice about widgets and OOP is invaluable, but even though I searched for a long time I didn't understand anything because I only learned basic HTML and CSS to make games on Twine and I'm still learning. (I don't even know what a widget is and I avoid using macros
) To be honest I don't even know JavaScript. I'll probably spend hours or even days in the simplest and dumbest places, but at the end of the day I want to publish my project. I hope I'll do a good job close to yours and not screw it up. Thanks again!PSA:
Next update will be dropped within the next 2-3 weeks. My editor is currently preoccupied, but this next update will include the next arc, along with more sandbox stuff!

Hey! I'm about 25% of the way through the current arc, development has been painfully slow
Will try to bang out some more code within the next few days, and hopefully update it soon!
Juggling life + development has been slow unfortunately, rest assured, next update will come out soon.
Everytime I think I'm 90% done, some other bug or whatnot always comes up
Thank you for the interest! Unfortunately I haven't been able to put much time towards 0.03 due to life committments. The codebase evolved into this wacky mess, so I'm even considering refactoring the code to make future development less painful.
I've considered buying separate monitors with Patreon proceeds to speed up dev time, but money is tight + work obligations. It's hella hard to develop on a single screen, but I promise to get out 0.03 as soon as I can!
