Here's my crunched version.

Image/audio/video quality is reduced to make shit smaller. This is not a perfect process and sometimes can break a game. You've been warned so no bitching.

I'm here for the lewd scenes.. shame that the scenes are short but are really naughty compared with others, same old lines.
Tried Spaced Out twice but I didn't understand what happend at the end, liked that one too at the begining, the idea with the VR and the viewers from earth and after that lots of SF (not really my type) and lost the interest.
Now this one.. fuck me!.. I don't give a fuck about new Amelia or the new charachter (no spoilers) or anything else.. just fuck everyone.

Regarding anomalies in the storyline - you picked up on my remarks about Julie and her 'no peeking' during Tutoring, and I have been scrolling through my saves looking for other odd things.

Firstly I am getting a lot of errors come up - mainly at the end of scenes where it tries to go to the overview of the yacht locations - Ignore works ok, but I guess I will need to do a new playthrough from the start - just a bit unsure about whether to do it now or later, as you hinted a plot development was coming that would change things a bit. ???

The Daphne/Barbara/Linda set up seems to have repeated in this last update, even though I did it before - not sure if that's intentional?
At the start of this update peeking on Linda and Daphne in the morning had gone back to the original scenes and I had to run through the Barbara bit to get Linda spanking Daphne and the good stuff that followed.

Like with Julie, the MC running from peeking at Emma in the shower early in the day seems a bit strange now considering she comes to his room at night and with Mei, and the scifi party evening!

There is a lack of content Noon and afternoon generally - I assume to allow stats grinding, but the Noon peek at Yvette's tits seems to be irrelevant given yo can pretty much see them anytime now ;)

Catherine the Cougar does need a good dicking - for a woman of her 'wild past' to suggest the MC is too big for her, then watch Sarah take it, and not have gone after it since is surprising. :p Especially as Sarah made sure she got 'hers' on the bridge - { as an aside Sarah's face on the cumshot renders at the end of that scene is a bit contorted in an unattractive way IMO}
However I think you said Catherine will feature next episode so what do I know.

I expect new 'wife' will get reacquainted - bit mean to leave us with a couple of shots of her lying around with no action. :(

Can you please include one of your saves where the error is happening. I haven't seen any crashes during the development, so it might be some data corruption. As for scenes with Evelyn, with the two full quests that I had to do in 0.9 because the Patreon vote ended up in a 50/50 split, even the start of the Evelyn's quest with its ~20 screens was a huge push. I really expected the vote for 0.10 quest to be won by Evelyn, so I can benefit from the work already done for that quest and focus a bit more on the repeating events and the story progression, but this wasn't the case. I'll try to add some if the time allows it, but no promises on that since the new quest will be a multi-path, multi-ending one and there will have to be some coding/testing for this. I also want to expand a bit the dynamic event in the cinema with Amelia, but again - my time is limited (the game is unfortunately mot my job, which pays the bills).

P.S. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the noon peek at Yvette's tits in not just about Yvette anymore ;)

No I hadn't noticed that ;) Kayla has changed!

My errors are only occurring on early version saves. I have various playthroughs spread over 50 pages of saves, and I really do need to play the game through again from the start, making fresh saves as I go.
Cannot remember an error on last couple of updates.

Some of the renders and animations are really great - and I do need to check where you have updated a scene, as you just proved. :)

You are providing a very good game in my opinion - if you are holding down a 'normal' job AND doing this then kudos to you. My personal tastes run to the twins - Catherine and Emma I mean ;) - and Sarah and Kayla and more expansive threesomes or even a fivesome with them would be much appreciated in the future at your convenience, sir.

so you only can downlaod the patch if you support him on patreon
OK, let me make things clear (again). When I post a new version to Patreon, I'm not the one who's sharing it here. I definitely don't mind it being shared, since (all?) my patreons found the game here. When it comes to bugfixes, I'm the one uploading them here. Bugs are usually happening when starting a new game, and are (usually) not experienced by my $20+ patreons, so they may choose to skip downloading (and sharing here) the fixed version and this leaves all the new players that found the game here stuck with a buggy game for a week. I don't want that. I want people to enjoy playing the game as I enjoy making it. I don't believe any of my patreons are supporting me just for the 'perks' they get. They chose to do so because they like the game and want to see it finished and for that I'm deeply grateful. Withholding bug fixes and leaving people with a buggy game is a self-defeating behavior.

Hope it's clear now ;).

I'm glad you like it! And yes - I have a 'normal' job AND I'm making the game. After all, with the 400 something bucks I make per month from the game, when you take out the price of new stuff in Daz for the next version, all that's left is a couple of dinners out with the wife and kids (did I mention I have a family as well :ROFLMAO: ).

I'm guessing that the harassing complains are coming from thous that do not even support you in any way possible and if so than just ignore them. Me and other players told that to DC and he eventually just focused on the development and supporting messages that helped him with improvements to his game. Other than that looking forward to see in which direction next will you take the game and the MC the overall story. :unsure:;)(y)

It's sometimes still only Yvette for me. I've finished all of the quests in 0.9.2.

Day 65 at noon it was Yvette and Kayla. Day 66 late morning and noon were just Yvette, unless I looked at her late morning, then noon was both. Is it random?

A sort of review, but not quite, since the game is not done, I rather say something to be discussed rather than leave my impression to be judged in silence.

Haven't played the prequel, or any previous version, started with 9 and played through all the quests.

I dig the way it looks, and the disparate amount of characters, having the game set on a boat with a convenient set of all female crew, is nice that they don't just disappear from the game, you might say "duh, nowhere to go" but you would be surprised, is something I don't like in games that are open world, but set in small places which still manage to hide its characters, at least when they are locked in their room you somewhat know they are there.
Is nice how at different time and with different girls there will be different images, I am surprised by the large cast of characters being there all at once, though I am glad that I only played the game this late into development.

Is an easy, straightforward game, thought it seems slow at first, you just need to follow the stars so there's not much of a grind except maybe when trying to make the 500$ for that quest, and even that did not take me long thanks to hacking.
I like the repeatability of certain events and how the overall progression changes them, it was odd to see Julia chastise you for looking at her after having had repeated intercouses but that solved itself eventually.

Perhaps is odd to be silent most of the time among the girls, being unable to participate, I would like to know what led to this choice, perhaps the desire to avoid repetition? And speaking of repetition I enjoyed the fact that the "wife" got aknowledged in a game of lying dice, interesting.
I am glad thought there is no need to grind the characters by having fake conversations like in Lucky Mark or some other games I played, that's just grating, the worst thing that can happen here is having to jump around between hours, the fact that, as I understand it, there is no random events which require to be at X place at Y hour without being told through the stars/bubble icon, makes the game more honest.

"Freeze Stats" - prevents the MC's stats from going down so that you can do more stuff in a day.

"Cheat in mini games" - is just a way of helping the player beat any of the mini games that will become available once you start to progress more.

If for some reasons your not seeing a golden star at a specific location that means you have to wait until one appears on the map and than go to that specific location to start the event. :unsure:(y)

Please when reporting such issues, include a save file, so I can check what's wrong.

i just started the game and it's a clear step back from spaced out.

there is no staging in dialogs like in all modern vn games ( including spaced out ) , we have only characters in the foreground and some image in background like in 2D and old ren'py games

I think the reason for this is obvious - there is a limited number of screens I can produce in a month. So if I use a significant portion of those for dialogue, the options are:

1/ I reduce the number of images in the sex scenes
2/ I reduce the dialogue steps, turning the game in some sort of porn-movie, where you don't do anything, don't develop characters and just jump from one scene to another
3/ I reduce the number of sex scenes which will lead to fewer quests / events I do in each update.

And even if I was happy reducing the content in each update (which I'm not), let me explain why this still won't work. You view the game as a VN. It's not. There is no 'single path' of progression. A few posts back I shared the current map of the game - there are parallel quests which you can do (or not), and this means that you can progress characters at different pace. So for example if one quests has a step where you should talk with Yvette, she might be dressed in her casual clothes, in her bikini or even be topless depending on the location and the current progression you have reached with her by the time you choose to go through this dialogue. Add the time of day and the location as variables to this and you'll see that if it's done the way you call 'modern', there have to be like 8-9 images for each step of a dialogue. If I change the image every 3-4 lines to give the impression of dynamics then for a simple dialogue which has 20 lines, I have to render ~40-50 images for all the different locations, time of day, outfits, etc. That's just for a single 20 line dialogue step of one single quest.

What you suggest works for simple one-plot VNs, but not for the type of game I'm making.
