This render is extremely good. (I don't know how to use professional words to describe it)
Does this mean that if you have the repeatable event for one of them, you can't get the other?Apart from the quest, there are repeatable events with them depending on the path you chose in the quest. Unfortunately in the polls I did which girls to have in the next updates, the twins were never winning, so the quest with them kept being pushed further back and in the end there was just not enough time to add more events with them.
I was thinking about checking if the MC's name is John and setting the name of the other character to something else, but then I thought "What are the chances someone would name his character 'John' when they could've gone with 'Biggus Dickus'?" and decided not to bother
. Anyway, I'll fix it for the next version and it will automatically apply for your current save, so you won't have to re-play the game.
You can access the alternative repeatable events for Lia/Mia through the cheats in the computer. The actual quest scenes that you miss due to taking different paths will be unlocked once I finish the game.
Since you're the one with the imagination of calling the MC 'John', you have the naming rights for the other character for you and all the millions of other people that would call themselves 'John'. Be quick though - I'll release 0.24 probably tomorrow and if I don't hear from you till then, I'll name it to something even wilder... like 'Alex'!
Well, at least then we'll get some fireworks!
To be honest, I consider the last update (0.23.5) a bit of an oddity that it didn't made its way here for a whole week. For the couple of years I've been making Water World and the year before that making Spaced Out, I can't remember taking a whole week for the update to land here. As I've said before, I'm fine with my patreons sharing it and once the "early access" period I have promised to my $20+ patreons expires, I'm even sharing it here myself.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

So, wondering if there is a problem... Was able to start Connected. Was able to connect avatar and shoot the gun (poorly!). Have progressed through several days (not sure how many but probably more than a week...) with nothing else triggering. I did have an error at some point that I was able to ignore. Did the quest not update properly perhaps?
Was there a big stretch of days with nothing happening in the middle? Maybe I wasn't patient enough...I had no problems with playing through this update, worked like a charm.
