Yeah why is this so huge? I played an older version and doesnt seem like THAT much was added to make this 4.1gigs? Is it bad compression on the 4 new animations?

Mainly because NTR was only a part of it and it now seems like it's the main goal.
Doesn't bother me but I see why some people are put off.
What put me off is I came here because it was tagged for romance and with other things being optional I assumed all content would come equally except patreon polls are all NTR kinda focused.
NTR does not bother me in the slightest, obviously I can't self insert in a male protag so I have no issues at all with it. That being said it's also not my thing I came here for that lil ole romance tag that has been forgotten.
I'm not complaining, it's the devs game to do with as he pleases and obviously that's his target audience now and, sadly, it isn't the kind of stuff I find enjoyable so I shall do as you say at the end of your post and not play at all.
PC version is unplayable... buuut I'm playing on Mac on that Renpy program.
****EDIT
Annnnnnd the Mac version is corrupt.
Awesome

I thought this update was good although i had to tweak some stuff in the script.their was pretty even content between ntr and non ntr,not sure why it's a problem that content is split between the two.... Also my save from previous version worked for me,just not the ones from near the end of previous version.

Jesus christ, does the game have 0 compression or did you just compress it that well?Here's my crunched version.
Note: This is an unofficial modified version of this game so if something goes worng it goes worng
Image/audio/video quality is reduced to make this smaller. This is not a perfect process and sometimes can break a game. You've been warned so no complaining.

I checked out his compressed release. It's compressed a bit harder than what I usually do, and there's a noticeable loss of quality. I'm not saying this is wrong of him, but my personal opinion is that the few mb you save from using 70 webp compression instead of 80 usually isn't worth it, as it seems to really hurt quality in some games. Then again, I'm a bit picky, and wouldn't want to play the games with too much compression.

Images of the game are doubled (images folder and images renpy archive). I think that dev forgot to delete images folder. Thats why size is so huge.

This game has been in production for less than a year and it has this much content?! Goddamn, that's impressive! I personally didn't enjoy the prison arc so much but I am sure there are people who did.
I see there have been 4 updates so does the dev release every 3-4 months? Asking because I am very interested in supporting them. Unless the cucks dominate the polls and every update focuses too much on NTR

I can understand your point. It's typical for an update not to have what you're interested in. Especially, when the game is story driven. As for me, I love playing games where your "significant other" slowly becomes a lying, cheating neighborhood slut. But, it still has to have that LOVE link between the two, or else there's no drama.

I am confused. When you use the GF for your safety in prison, there is no dialog that adress it when they meet ... really?
Maybe there will be something in the next update, but that is to late. That should be THE most important topic when the meet each other.
And why do ppl complain about NTR? you can disable it ...

no one can read properly in this fórum or what? no one is complaining about ntr, they (atleast me) are complaining because this is getting the main focus of the game and it was never going to be centered into that fetish , now if you see last updates you can see they are all about ntr
anyway best of luck to you Oceanlab

Sure? I have it activated and even then I saw not much. GF with her ex and then that at the prison ... but even with activated NTR you can control it and I dont think that it is so much. The focus of this update was the whole imprisonment stuff ...no one can read properly in this fórum or what? no one is complaining about ntr, they (atleast me) are complaining because this is getting the main focus of the game and it was never going to be centered into that fetish , now if you see last updates you can see they are all about ntr

Here's my unofficial "fixed" version of Where It All Began [v0.4]
First, an explanation:
The PC version in OP works fine, so no need to panic, or to download the version below if you already downloaded it. The dev seems to have started compressing the game, and no longer puts images in a .rpa archive. However, he left the .rpa file from his previous uncompressed release, meaning uncompressed images from previous releases were in the .rpa.
If the Mac version in OP is indeed the official version, then the dev seems to have repacked the Mac archive. This also corrupted it. It's important to never repack a Mac or Linux (PC) version that Ren'Py has built, as this will screw up file permissions.
This is not compressed. I've just removed the .rpa and recompiled the game. I've played through the game 3 times to verify that this version is working. The only image missing is cl51.jpg, which is missing from the official version too.
Original download size is 4.18GB for PC and 4.15GB for Mac.

the ntr is (doctor,ex boyfriend, dad? of the mc ,roommate or cousin?, prison guy ,katie and maybe even those black dudes and the boyfriend of that girl you can accept for a double date, oh and she tells you she want a "free pass" or "free fuck" in this last update so the list is only going up with each update)
as for the content so far is a blowjob and teasing ex boyfriend, flash tits to the dad, 1scene if she sleeps with kate after mc cheats on her, 1 fucking the roomate or cousing of the mc when she learns the mc cheated on her... the prison dude 2 scenes. (dunno if there is more since i looked into the code)
if this is not much content for you i wonder .....

Of course they do, it's the whole reason some people play these instead of just watching porn.
